The Gremlin's Grotto

Heya folks,
wow, I think I start every entry with that line... oh well. So, it is Christmas, I spent the weekend with some Canadian friends, which was fun. We watched movies and ate a shitload. All good. I wish Monica was around, but she went to Spain to spend Christmas with her family. She comes back tomorrow!! YAY!!! Yeah, screw off... I miss her okay? Miserable...*mumble*

So, for New Year's, we are going on a boat cruise. Dinner, a Thames river cruise and then it docks around Big Ben and we watch the fire works. Kinda cool huh? What else... oh, my big meeting is next week now. The dude who is thinking about hiring me isn't in until then. Wish me luck, I am soooo done with this job. Done. Anyway, this new job will be something good, if it happens. We will have to wait and see.

Hmm.. Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Especially to Kimberley, who was the only one who left me a message here :) You know, it is strange, I always have alot to say until I sit down to write, at which point, I forget everything and manage to write a few words. I am thinking about taking Thai Kickboxing in the New Year... I took kung fu, Jujitsu, Gum Do, Ken Do, Sip Pal Gi... time to take something with a little more punch and a little less show. If not kickboxing, then I am thinking of taking Brazilian Jujitsu... Joyce Gracie's brother runs a dojo near where I live, and I just think that would be cool to be trained by the Gracie family!!!

This feels disjointed, is it reading that way? Not much else to say right now. Hope everything is well with you people, and try to remember me at New Years... have a drink for me (preferably a Sleeman's Honey Brown if you really wanna salute me).

So sits,

Hey folks,

Well, here it is... Patrick Stewart!!! Not a great picture but hey.  The show was incredible.  A one man show, ' A Christmas Carol'.  It was prettty funny too, his timing was good and it was just generally cool.  We ran around to the back to try to catch him coming out, and we did hehe.  Didn't get close enough to say hi though.  What else is going on?  I am off this week, which would be great if I wasn't all alone for it.  Monica has to work, and no one else is around.  I spent alot of this weekend alone since Monica had to do shopping (for me) and then she had some plans on Sunday with some workmates that she couldn't get out of.  Ya know, I had alot to say before I sat down, but now that I am here, I can't think of one thing I wanted to write.

I watched my first ice hockey game of the year at the Maple Leaf, the Canadian pub downtown.  It was Ottawa and Calgary, pretty good game really.  The feed was from Hockey Night in Canada.  Oh, I also saw Narnia... not a bad kids' movie.  For adults... a little weak, but the effects were awesome.  I spent alot of time this weekend on my ass watching films and theatre actually.  Well, I will write again soon.

So sits,
