Snowboarding round 2
Not sure about this holiday… It’s feeling a little forced this year, as in I’m forcing myself to be happy, even though I’m not really feeling it. Oh well, I’ll make nice and go through the motions for everyone else, but it might be difficult. On the plus side, I went snowboarding for the second…

Franz Ferdinand
Oh the ringing in my ears, the slight after taste of beer when I burp, the vein in my forehead seems to be getting larger and my eyeballs are showing me my pulse. A small price to pay for the excellent concert last night! Franz Ferdinand was awesome! The band is tight, the songs were…

In epic fashion I celebrated Halloween with a bunch of Aussies and a few Americans. The party was excellent; I went as Sir Drinks A Lot, a costume that H made for me last year. It’s a group costume and didn’t make a whole lot of sense to some people, but it worked and I…

Shoulder torture… But it was worth it…
In an effort to torture myself and my injured shoulder I met up with C this Saturday for a little bike ride and some kayaking. The ride didn’t hurt, the kayaking did. Not only that but I was up way to late last night, and it turns out so was C, to be out on…
