Well, friends, about a week or so has passed since I’ve last managed to write on this blog. The main mental block about doing so comes down to one thing: the internet. My connection here is slow, if present at all—which is rare. Pictures take even longer, as I generally want to throw my computer Read More »
Today I went to the National Gallery since I didn’t get to go to their yesterday. A friend invited me to go to the Museum of Garden History but I decided I may go there another time. The National Gallery is located at Trafalgar Square. Today’s lunch was a GoodFella’s 3-cheese pizza. I ate quickly Read More »
July 25th, 2006. Departure Day. As I packed my bag for the airpor in Montréal, I couldn’t believe it was finally time to go. I’d been at a point where I had 99% of things planned, but needed one last confirmation on funds before leaving. Talk about last minute! Anyway, I was a nervous wreck, Read More »
After I last wrote, the most exciting thing that happened was going to Casablanca on Thursday night for Liz’s birthday. I had a REALLY good time dancing this time around at Casablanca–mainly because I had someone to dance with (Ryan), and because the music was better and the company I was keeping was FAR better.

Sometimes, it almost seems unnatural for something to happen when you’ve been waiting for it for oh so long. But it does come round eventually, then suddenly its over and you don’t know what to do with yourself. Day 1: Arrival. We flew thru Honky Land which is really cool – the airport at least, Read More »
I woke up at 12:00 PM today because it was so gloomy outside. It was cold, my heater wasn’t working properly and I didn’t want to get out of bed. I eventually made myself a sandwich from the groceries I bought yesterday. Geeze it was a horrible sandwich for lunch. And for dinner as well. Read More »
There didn’t seem to be a great deal in Stirling other than the castle, William Wallace Monument and Stirling Bridge, if your into the history side of it. So its probably not worth spending a night here if you’re like me. Stirling is a much dirtier city than Edinburgh – if you want to know Read More »
Before arriving in Glasgow, we took a small detour …the opposite way, infact, to Dollar, where we visited Castle Campbell. Once we arrived in Dollar, we had to go for a walk up Dollar Glen to get there, but that place is just as fantastic as visiting the castle itself. It was a bit boggy, Read More »
Figures that it would be the wettest summer on record in England. Floods, rail disruptions, and torrential downpours were in the news most days during the last week of our journey. But, hey, we were on a canalboat (more popularly called a narrowboat in these parts) and given that it floats (hopefully), the weather shouldn’t be much Read More »
Vacation 1 (of 4) I love working in France. One of the perks to moving to a foreign country to take on a job that entails morphing into a master illusionist and fooling small people into thinking you know exactly what you are doing, (For instance, I stand in front of them and sound Read More »
