A life of exile in Vancouver, Canada

Oh gawd! This morning I overslept quite seriously, don’t think I have slept in on a work day for a very long time…and I mean years. I quickly took my shower and left without breakfast. To further complicate my morning the tubes were in a pickle again! However, I still got into work on time [...]

Work ungorgeouness seemed to rule today. Found a statistical error which means someone could be lying about their workload and that lie is being collaborated by someone who is entering that data. I checked and double checked, something suspicious is going on but I don’t think I can’t prove it completely. Had a difficult customer [...]

This morning I gave Don his valentine day’s card, even though there is a lot of talk of it becoming a huge commercial making operation (billions of dollars are made in the US) the day is still important enough me to tell Don how much I love him through a small card. I wouldn’t dream [...]

A day of typical London weather, raining non-stop. Luckily Don didn’t have to go out of the house today as he doesn’t work on Monday’s. A frustrating morning at work due to technology being down, that is pretty much what my job is reliant on and if it doesn’t work I may as well have [...]

This morning we intended to go to Queensway for Chinese lunch however didn’t quite get that far. When we got to Camden the tubes were in a mess again, we were expecting part of the Northern Line to be closed but didn’t plan for Kings Cross to be shut down. So we had to change [...]

NBC has announced that Passions is to be canceled [source NBC]. I watched this daytime soap when we were living in Denver. It isn’t like other soap’s, its was a parody and very funny. In the meantime one of the characters, Chad, played by Charles Divins, is having an affair. His female partner, Whitney, doesn’t [...]

There was still snow in parts of our street and I had to walk down the middle of the road to avoid it. However, when I got beyond our road it was fine. The transport seemed to be back to normal today. At Kings Cross I got my lunch, a pastrami sandwich from Marks and [...]

When we woke up this morning there was a couple of inches of snow on the ground. I couldn’t work at home due an exhibition running at work so I had to make my way in. The walk to work wasn’t too bad at all, the snow was crunchy and I could manage it without [...]

Today I received a message from Snickers concerning their potentially homophobic adverts. They have decided to withdraw them. Following is the message below: In response to your email regarding SNICKERS BRAND . As with all of our SNICKERS Brand advertising, our goal was to capture the attention of our core SNICKERS consumer. Feedback from our [...]

Yuk…another week of work. How terribly ungorgeous. Got to work, freezing cold as usual and with my hangings on from my cold at the weekend this won’t do me any good…but the office doesn’t give a toss anyways. The US is about to put into force a law on DNA sampling [source NYTimes] which is [...]

I'm Ill!

Not feeling to good today…just resting. Build your own boyfriend [source TeensRandom]…cute!

Today I wasn’t feeling to good, I think I caught another cold from being in that freezing office. We managed to go out in the morning to the supermarket. After lunch we took a nice walk across the Regent’s Park to St John’s Wood, it was a very pleasant day, we went into one of [...]

Nothing special to report today except that we signed the contract by 1 year to stay in Camden. Hopefully by the time that year is out we would have heard something regarding our immigration application to Canada and hopefully we’ll be in the process of packing our bags or close to it! After signing the [...]
