I think I'll be keeping a close eye on the news when I'll be in France (thanks to dmg for the heads-up!). :-)

I went and shopped for some shoes today with azrhey, for interviews and stuff. Usually not the kind of thing I enjoy (actually, more like the kind of thing I find painful!), but we managed to find some nice ones. I'm rather surprised actually, they look kind of odd on the shelves, but they look good on me. Or at least, I feel like I look good in them, ( Read more... )

Go up somewhat late, and off to have breakfast with the lady azrhey. Of course, by "breakfast", we really mean roast beef and pastas. There was orange juice, it's breakfast, right? Wee!

Although I had somewhat different goals originally, I felt particularly like hacking today. There's that occasional fantasy I have which struck me again, so while I wasn ( Read more... )

Friday, good eating at Alpenhaus, for a birthday dinner. Looked really hard, and couldn't find any rüsti on the menu. No matter, like last time, we had good food, as well as good wine. Saturday, azrhey and I hit up the Holidays party on my mom's side. What? Holidays already? Well, a lot of them are southbound during the actual Holidays, so they're doing ( Read more... )

I finished the critical "I have to be there" part of my release friday, just as I was hoping to. I actually got things wrapped up perfectly in time for when I had to leave for swestrup's birthday party. azrhey came to pick me up at the office with a bottle of Moët et Chandon champagne to celebrate my going on vacation, which was awesome ( Read more... )

Saw Nine Inch Nails friday, initially with a number of friends (including pdage, who I hadn't seen in a good while), but then with gregorama and g_g_68 (who I've only sort of met, but we've shared water already (but not in that way!)). Was all right, but my suspicions are confirmed, NIN is mostly part of my history rather than of my present. They played one of my ( Read more... )

Had a very nice day visiting my dad for a rather belated birthday dinner, despite some poor weather on the drive back. azrhey also suffered through a nearly lethal dose of french canadian "culture", in the form of "Star Académie" and an enthusiastic living room audience, LOL ( Read more... )

Now, that was a nice evening!

Drove out to the Plateau Mont-Royal with the lady azrhey, to pick up some super-yummy chicken at Romados (along with the obligatory portuguese lady making jokes about me). Then went over to a nearby computer store to order the PowerBook 12" I've decided upon, but only to see that their computer system for ordering was ( Read more... )

Well, joenotcharles wasn't lying, vierge_en_trop's "apple-based baked food" (screw you, andukar!) is pretty good! It's a kind of bread-type thing with chunks of apples and nuts in it, yummy ( Read more... )
