Happy New Year update!

Hello boys and girls!

I know,I know, it's been long in coming, but the update is finally here!
I've been crazy busy since the last time - work in particular. I even had to pull a couple of near-72-hour shifts in December!

Anyway, it's a little calmer now so I'll try to give you the skinny on what's been happening.
Well, first off, people have been asking about Tae Kwon Do and being a black belt and all that. Unfortunately, right after I got my belt I busted not one but both of my ankles. Yeah, coool!! So since then I've only practised 2 or 3 times. They seem fine now so I'm hoping to be back next week, at last. This should stop me from jumping all over the house with all that extra energy unspent!

It's been snowing like crazy here, but unfortunately the temperatures have kept really high (well, as winter temperatures go around here) and it's been raining as well (it's raining today and will be for the next 3-4 days :o( ). so instead of being buried under 1.5 m of nice fluffy snow we only have 50 cm of hardened slush... It's still good for skiing though, just not as perfect as it should be.

Oh, and I have been host to our dear and beloved Marcel since December until he gets his visa and starts working in Montreal next month. It has been great catching up with him and being able to spend some quality time with him - although I've been too busy and tired to really take care of him as I should. All the same, we've had a good time so far and he should be with me for at least another week to 10 days, so I'll try to milk as much as I can out of him ;o)

Anyway, this has been a rather plain post so far, so I think I'll indulge you all with some pictures (and even some footage!!) of recent times, for your visual enjoyment.

Keep banging!

Cheap labour


Marcel had to say goodbye to his prime view of downtown TO. No regrets though...

Wow, you guys are pretty ! Reminded me of that one scene in Entourage where the guys are skiing/snowboarding... You guys rewl !

As for owls or boobies, neither seems very likely to me, although there's an almost Gygerian quality to whatever Nat made, something icky and biotech... I'd avoid this particular area for the time being if I were you guys...


Ta, me brothers, and see ya soon !
