1. Yay Alison!
I have a lot of dresses and wedding gifts to buy for next year. I should maybe put some money aside now to create a wedding fund.

2. Boo economy
I only found out this week how much my family has lost in investments. It is a very ugly picture. Much like this:

Kick a ginger

The whole ordeal appears to be inspired by a recent episode of the popular animated TV show South Park. In the episode, the potty-mouthed character Cartman delivers a class presentation on "ginger kids." The episode refers to redheaded people as "nasty" and "born with a disease."


I don't understand what it takes to go from a joke to actually carrying out an act of violence... Facebook, apparently. Damn you, facebook.

39 days until Christmas

I'm sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. I would like to be your friend again. Let's do something? I am trying to be better!

Same old excuse - work has been crazy. I don't see it getting un-crazy for another...maybe 8 months. Or ever. Being involved in a start up company has been exciting but stressful. I was kind of in a bad place about a month ago but things have gotten 100% better since then. I need to have a life again though. I've discovered this helps. Oh yeah, I went to LA last month and that was a lot of fun. Two days off to play and do nothing else was fantastic. I smelled the fires of Malibu and ate from a taco truck.

This past week Frank and I saw the Smashing Pumpkins and Bill Maher at Massey Hall (separately, one did not open for the other). I actually went out as well (hey, I saw John Sum on the street, anyone else remember him?) and came to work 40 minutes late and hungover on Friday. Had lunch with the old Anchor Bay crowd (sat next to the old boss - very awkward). I spent a lot of money on shoes. Last night we went on a double date and saw Quantum of Solace. Good movie. Hot hot.

My family and I are going to Paris/Beaune/Lucerne/Florence/Milan/Rome/Vatican for Christmas. I don't really know how we are going to see all these places in 10 days but it sounds very whirlwind. Christmas in Paris though, how could I say no? I will miss out on seeing everyone and the always fun New Year's party...but how could I say no??

Change is come to America. We're thinking of buying a big big TV. I've moved from the beaches to High Park. That's mostly it for me.
