Been Gone

Been a busy bee of late and not fairly busy in other ways. I tend to be overly exhausted to a degree that some may call handicapping. It could be the long hours but i'll argue it has more to do with the amount of physical assertion i've been outputting recently. I've missed the gym for 3 days for reasons such as being so incredibly exhausted by 7pm that i had passed out and did not wake until work the next day.

I've also been fairly social of late, more so than in recent times which include brunches, outtings, and dinnertime treats. The last of which tends to be appease my need for conversation but a terrace in the summer at lunch time in montreal is hard to beat. i don't think i can compare many things to the glam of parc lafontaine or duluth and St Denis bustling drunken behaviour on a friday afternoon with all the adults cradling their wine to their forearms. It breathes like the city ceases to breath throughout the winter. The suspension of exhales and inhales and the uncontrollable throb of the sun's call and the skies deep blue of an almost idealic sea fabricate a lovely carefree existence.

I've been on some fairly entertaining adventures such as the mishap that followed the creation of a Californian Pasta Dish involving a slice off finger and being locked out of my apartment for 2 days as well as having a friend locked out by haphazardly leaving her keys in my house. The gym is an adventure on it's own. It's amazing to think of your own body as the enemy, as the competition, and as the bitterest opponent of them all. I've pushed myself to some fairly large extremes with muscles wincing and lungs gasping for breath. i've forced more out of my body than it's had to deal with for a while. it's getting tuned up, derusted, fortified, and a new paint scheme and i am fairly happy with the results so far and can't wait for the results to improve. I also tend to bike 25km when it's not raining as a commute and that leads to my overall stamina improving. i hope to run in the Underground Marathon this year as a testament to endurance.

I've also been asked to make a breakfast menu for a vegan vegetarian place on monkland and am currently devising plans and ways of cooking without a stove top, har har har.

Tomorrow i see about getting a brand new flatscreen television with a home theater for franck and i's living room as well as plan on reading more of the apparently true story entitled "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" which i believe to have some splotches of colourings that weren't necessarily happenings.

There will be no music post however i suggest people pick up and read the book, "Risk." It's a tad repetetive with statistics but certainly does a fair job of explaining and highlighting how incapable we are as people to handle risks objectively in today's society due to marketing, media, and basic psychology.
