Return to NYC
I'm in New York at the office. I didn't expect to be working her again after my hiatus off to Thailand. I had seriously considered the vacation I took, well worth the loss of employment (the income owed not withstanding). It's a fine line working here: Mt heart is in Ottawa, my home is in Toronto, and my income is in New York. I need to start ( Read more... ) -
Transformation
This weekend in Ottawa, Mélisa and I were visiting her friend Josée, and she said "I really like you Sean, and I love Mélisa because she's a strong independent woman who doesn't need men, but when she's with you she just wants to be cuddled and held. Goddammit, you're turning her into a big suck ( Read more... ) -
Theresa
Taking down the spice rack today I broke into tears. It was the first thing we put up together in "our" new place. It was representative of us as a couple. She had a need (too many spices), I found a solution for her (the infinitely expanding spice rack), to that became an installation in our home and part of our life ( Read more... ) -

Sick Day
6:37pm - I just woke up. My head is not pounding for the first time. I could attribute that to the taking double tylenols around 4 pm. Other symptoms include: swollen glands, dry mouth, heartburn, sweats & chills (not so much now as earlier). Im also much more lucid than at any other point today. Not feverish as far as I can tell. Will get up ( Read more... ) -
NYC Retreat 2010
So I've returned from another company retreat, with the same onus as previous occasions -- we are expected to go into the wilderness with our collective skills and return triumphantly with some innovative brand new product that will bring the company honour, respect, and wealth. I've come to understand that this is a New York myth. There was even ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
Two days ago the smartest man I know, a man I respect, a man I look up to, have worked with, and have been proud to call my friend -- did the stupidest thing a man can possibly do in his lifetime: In a fit of anger he killed another man ( Read more... ) -
Air Show
My parents came by yesterday, to watch the air show from my new place. My father who has been an plane buff since before I was born, enthusiastically photographed everything from the balcony. I went out to joined him whenever he got excited about an F16, or a spitfire flew nearby, and smiled and and strained my eyes against the sun with him. I ( Read more... ) -
DarkWave is Gay
So I downloaded a huge 10 volume torrent simply entitled 'The Dark Wave Mix' When completed, I stuffed it into WinAMP, and was immediately irritated that none of the tracks had any ID3 tags. With one of my many ID3 tagging tools, I meticulously tagged the 200 or so tracks with the correct album and artist based on the title info ( Read more... )
