Montreal
I will be heading to Montreal next week. Flying out Tuesday morning and back Thursday evening. This morning I had the interesting experience of trying to navigate the corporate intranet and figure out how to book my flight and hotel using my brand new Travel & Expenses (T&E) credit card. I reckon we have one… Continue reading Montreal
cheddar and marmite on a toasted bagel
I got my Comic-Con confirmation today. Glad that came through since I’ve had the hotel booked for over a month now. This weekend is the big intra-office move, so everyone has to be packed up and left by 4pm tomorrow. Then our stuff is magically moved to new desks ready for Monday morning chaos. Getting… Continue reading cheddar and marmite on a toasted bagel
disappointment
2nd round then. So much for finding form.
As if I wasn't worked hard enough
The Times has started printing two Su Doku puzzles a day. One easy, one hard. Right! I'm not taking this lying down.
Summer Solstice
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my pagan friends (and anyone else that just thinks it's cool) a happy and peaceful solstice. Interestingly though, the earth is actually nearing its farthest point from the Sun this year. 5th July marks the aphelion. (Note to clueless radio announcers: the solstice is not… Continue reading Summer Solstice
Go Tim!
Henman pulls it out in a 5-set thriller. First round… the rollercoaster begins, and how! Of course the other brits are dropping like flies. Although Andrew Murray seems to be an up-and-comer. Once upon a time, we thought that about Elena Baltacha, too. Also, Justine is out 🙁
Roundup
Saw Batman Begins on Sunday at the local cinema. For free! My brother-in-law got a cineme gift card from his workplace – worth $100 – but they don't have any cinemas of the right chain near them. So they sent it to us 🙂 Just in time for the Summer blockbusters. Batman Begins was really… Continue reading Roundup
4th Round Roddick
If everything goes according to seedings. Nadal could be the QF, but I'm not sure he's proven on grass. Looks like Roger from the other half of the draw. Unless Lleyton can turn something around, but these days he's looking like a spent force.
at the risk of sounding (and feeling) old…
Gaiety. Song and dance. Here we are and there we are. Mrs. Elbeno has fixed holes in two of my favourite jumpers. Jumpers which were cruelly struck down at a young age, finding themselves on the wrong end of an argument with the in-laws' washing machine agitator (agitator? I prefer my household appliances to be… Continue reading at the risk of sounding (and feeling) old…
