it has come to my attention that it appears that I have dissappeared from the face of the earth. well.. some would say so. I think it's more that I've dissappeared from the face of the internet.
for those looking for an update, my old (and only) icq account is still the only instant messenger I use, though I use it infrequently. 22405810
my email address has changed to [firstname] @ theorem.ca
my phone number remains the same as it has been for the last 3 or so years. if you need it, ask for it at the above contacts.
so.. yeah, it's just that the daily work grind and commute have been making me hate my computer. things have just gotten a bit better in that I've recently re-organized my desk and surrounding room area - i don't *hate* my setup, so much as somewhat dislike it. bleh. I'm also completely out of practice for casual e-correspondence. I loathe voicemail, and lengthy emails. I think I need a bit of a lifestyle overhaul.
on a fun note, I've just committed to most of a 30-pack for the TIFF (that's Toronto International Film Festival) which runs early-mid september. I think the dates are something like the 8th to the 19th, it runs from a Thursday to the following Saturday. I booked off the two Fridays and will attend on the weekends as well.
Um, yeah. oh, and I got cirque du soleil tickets both for the tour that is hitting Toronto this september, as well as for the new show (internet "member" pre-sale) that is opening in Montreal, then going to Quebec next spring. I got FRONT ROW tickets for the show next spring, on a Friday afternoon. I realised when buying the tickets that if I didn't get an evening or weekend ticket, I could have the very front row. On evenings and weekends, those tickets are "VIP" and over twice the price. eep. soo.. my cirque du solieil fetish is in line.
ugh.. for those who haven't seen me in awhile, I'm pretty certain that I am in the worst shape in my life. Now.. to be fair, I've been accused of "lookign good" and having lost weight a couple times in the last few weeks. I know the weight thing is not true, but I suppose that means that I might be only very slightly in the worst shape in my life. In any case, this needs some work.
Ranty-rant rant.
So, I miss travelling. A lot. I hate having only 3 weeks vacation, and no money. I hate having a car, but no time for roadtrips. I think I have to start to plan my life out a little better. I have places to go, people to visit, but no time or money to do these things. This is not what I envisioned my post-university life to be like. I think I'm being punished - and no, that's not what I mean by that.
Anyway, regardless of whether I grabbed a cat-nap earlier, I must sleep now.
'night all.
