Still here, just a little slower with entries
Heya folks.
Well, let's begin with something fun: I met George RR Martin, author of the best fantasy series ever!!! Strong comment? Yup. Read them and find out why I say that. Anyway, he looks like Tyrion from his series... far from a compliment hehe. I told him he had to visit Canada, and apparently he already had a 5 city tour planned, although none to Winnipeg or Halifax (damn it). Other than that, it was a fun little book signing.
What else? Well, my new relationship is going well. We are planning a Halifax-Winnipeg trip for March next year. Not sure how long in Halifax, it will totally depend on how we get connecting flights. Work now knows about us, which is funny. My boss made a cheeky comment on Friday asking about what I am doing on the weekend etc... ah well, we still hid it for over a month.
Work.... sigh.... I am still here, no interviews lined up. My boss has acknowledged that she is trying to prep me for promotion because she knows I won't stay much longer in the position I am in. Well, nice to be appreciated I guess. Let's see how quick I can move this along.
Vacation: next year I know what I want to do... this year, I have no cash and I have no plans. Monica is heading to Spain for a week at xmas, so when she comes back I will take a day or two so we can spend some of New Year's together etc. I have about another week and a half to decide on... I do not want to sit at home for that long... I will go NUTS!!!! So, what to do? I really want to go to Lincoln and see the cathedral that I wrote a LONG essay on ( I got an A to boot), but we will see.
Football: I am playing with an older group of guys, me being the youngest (I am pretty sure). We usually get our asses handed to us, but we have fun and I am becoming a pretty good keeper (for 5 a side). Actually, as we speak, I am in pain. Last night I had about 45 shots on me within 50 minutes... it's alot, trust me. Made a few good saves, but my body paid a bit for it since it is worse than the surface that we played on at Coverall. Anyway, still fun, I love it.
Keep in touch, and keep me informed on your lives there.
So sits,

Hey Pete
Glad to hear that things are going good with you. We are now settled into our new apartment and it's pretty nice. Tomas is on a week long roadtrip but one of the wives is coming over here tonight to watch the game with me. Should be fun.
Talk soon
Love your sis

Relationship eh? Any pics? Can't you also send emails? You hate me don't you? You are trying to get ever farther away? A full ocean isn' enough? I feel soooo emotional right now.....hug me?

Yes, there must be pics...emails and pics. You are not allowed to have a hot spanish girlfriend without pics!
Glad things are working out for you, and I can't wait till you make it to Halifax.
Now, in the unfortunate event that you loose said girlfriend, you gotta pick up Guild Wars. A bunch of us are playing it including me, Neil, AJ, Vince, Max, and the terribly emotional D. It's online, more fun and less addictive than EQ, and NO monthly charge. But I know playing an online game is not condusive to keeping a girlfriend happy (ask Meghan, heh).
I know that would involve getting a computer...and internet...boy it would be nice to be rich, heh.
Take it easy man,
Alex
