Found a bit of time during my lunch break to get some more pictures online:

These were the pictures Katy and I took in Ottawa, of Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and the Museum of Civilization.

Edit: Did the last set of pics before going home. These are from the Casino Hilton, Leamy Lake and the museum of Science and Technology.

kicks ass :D

I feel like I've gone full circle.

I'm currently sitting at my “desk”, which is a lab bench at the McIntyre building – the place where I spent waaaayy too much time a few years ago. I'll be working here for the next 3 months or so – I'll have a real office after the holidays when the office space they're renovating on the 6th floor is finished. I'd forgotten just how much of a pain in the ass walking up Drummond is. If anything, this new job will get me back in shape :)

I've been thrown in the deep end, and now I must swim. I need to survey and plan for the computing needs of a widely diverse group of people for the next 5 years. This will be a challenge. I'm anxious, but at the same time, it'll be fun :) I just need to get comfortable with the work environment. Right now, my bench space is completely barren. I'm working on my own laptop that I brougth from home (I'm buying the work laptop today). I don't have a phone yet, I'm using gmail to email because I don't have my McGill email yet. Basically, it's all up in the air.

If anybody wants to give me stuff to put on my desk to personalize it, I will galdly accept donations :)

I can't find either of my Guy Ritchie movies! I went over my whole DVD list, and I can't find either Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels nor Snatch.

I am not amused. Might you have them?

Today was a slow but busy day. Katy and I had decided to spend a quiet day home, so we caught up on housework. Did a bajillion loads of laundry, cleaned the oven(!), swiffered and mopped floors, did dishes, changed the bed linens and cleaned the bathroom.

We just got back from getting some groceries for dinner tonight. On the menu: corn on the cob, cream of broccoli, mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and steak. Katy tells me I lost weight, which is surprising considering all the cooking I've been doing. Must be all those calorie-burning activities we've been doing these past weeks.

I'm going back to work tomorrow. It's weird. I'm getting a bit nervous about it, truth be known.

  

I finally got a green light for some pictures :D

Behold, cheesecake!

Recipe for it is here. Just so you know, this is a no-bake cheesecake that took me all of 20 minutes to make!

Oh, and just to tease you all some more, that's homemade strawberry jam on top – I made it yesterday.

I rock.

Normally, weekday breakfast – if I can even be bothered – is coffee and a bagel. Weekends though are different. I can take the time to use my kitchen savvy. This mornign was eggs, stips of pork chops (in lieu of bacon), sauteed mushrooms with oregano, toast with brie, orange juice and coffee.

NUMMY!

Edit: I forgot to mention the homemade chocolate-chocolate chip muffins and the homemade stawberry jam.

Damn, your bowls aren't big enough for my head.

Edit: you people are sick :P
