Thanks to everyone who met me at Vineyard's last night!! I really enjoyed the company (and the port). It was a good birthday.

It's my birthday tomorrow, and the first quater-century of my life will be over. If anyone's around town, we (karolijn and myself and likely more) will be at Vineyards around 9:00 tomorrow night. It's a great little pub in the market, in the basement of the Fish Market restaurant ( Read more... )

I'm having a kinda down week. I think it's due to the fact that, almost unimagineably, I am not looking forward to Christmas this year. I'm going down to New Haven on the 24th and having Christmas there with my Pop, uncle, and family. I think that will be easier than being in Orangeville. Then on the 28th back to Orangeville, where karolijn will hopefully ( Read more... )

So I went in to work at 8:00 this morning only to find out there's no clinic. Therefore, a day off. I guess I'm not complaining ( Read more... )

I made it home safely but not seamlessly. They searched my bag by hand at the airport. Apparently I'm a terrorist threat. And US Airways, while offering many convenient flights, don't have a frickin' clue how many people are actually booked to fly on any of their flights ( Read more... )

My dad made is safely down to New Haven so we did the birthday thing for him here. We went to my Uncle's favourite bar (called "Bar") where they make great thin-crust pizza.

So I'm quite proud of my Halloween creation. I went as "sleeping." Pyjamas, bedsheet, pillow fastened behind my head, and a mobile of Zs dangling above me. I got some strange looks ( Read more... )

So another day of not-as-exciting-as-I-wish-it-was ENT for me. No crazy uvulas though! There is no lack of sirens screaming around the square outside the apartment here. Good ol' US of A. I hope I don't get shot. Or drafted. Or drafted then shot.

I think I'll watch a movie.

I miss karolijn. Of course, she's the only one who reads this and she already ( Read more... )

Today I saw some guy with a 3 cm long uvula (the hangy-down thing at the back of the throat). It was bothering him so we used a laser to cut it off. Very cool by med-geek standards. Don't think I've ever seen anything fried by a laser before ( Read more... )
