Got back from my trip to Washington DC a couple days ago. Spent the weekend resting ( Read more... )

In Montreal right now. Every room is equipped with a computer. This French keyboard is frustrating to use because I have to search for symbols and stuff and I can (usually) type without looking down. This Windows version is French and websites such as LJ are all in French. My French is terrible, but I think I am picking up on a few things here and ( Read more... )

1. The Russians on some of the LJ communities are annoying ( Read more... )

I'm going to have a heart attack. The loonie is now equal to the US dollar. Ugh, we're shaking hands with the peso.

I'm planning on visiting Montreal or Quebec City next year. This better not get worse.

I'm back home from my London/Paris trip. Only regret is that it was too short and that I missed the start of the EPL season. I would have liked to have been in London for the start, but I was already in Paris that day ( Read more... )

I ( Read more... )

Disney is getting a new CEO this year.

My fortune cookie today read: Pray for the things you want, work for the things you need.

I leave for Napa Valley tomorrow.

I'm back from BC. Wow, what a nice country. Perhaps one day I will make it out to the Ontario/Quebec region. I can see where Canadians get their reputation for being nice people...they are! Saw a few instances that I would have never seen in the US. Vancouver reminded me of San Francisco, only cleaner, more modern, less crowded, and friendlier. I ( Read more... )
