Dammit, am I ever stir-crazy today. Not just today, in truth I’ve had this feeling for something like four days now. Whatever I’m doing, I have this constant feeling that I’d really like to be doing something else. And it’s not just at work that this happens (although it does happen at work); I’m reading a book, or screwing around on the computer, or watching a movie, and I have this nagging feeling that there’s something else I meant to be doing, something I was looking forward to all day. What could that be? Fucked if I know. This thing isn’t debilitating, I’m not sopping with sweat over it—it’s just there. In the end, I blame my compromised immune system.

There’s nothing dramatically new with Aunt Flo just yet. We’re still waiting for her to wake up, and it seems like that could happen any day now. On Monday, the family met with her neurologist who says her cognitive ability looks intact, and he also feels that she has a good chance of regaining some lost mobility through rehabilitation. Everyone in Sarah’s family is doing well and staying strong. Thanks for all of the good wishes.

In other news, despite any news you may have heard to the contrary, it isn’t actually Spring yet.

Dude...

Winter returned to kick us in the crotch, and hard.

Your nagging feeling might just be stir craziness. Unless you are getting out there and getting rid of this feeling it will haunt you.

Perhaps it is time for some Jedi Goodness?

I love stir fry! You don't have to be crazy to stir it up. And always include baby corn. Everyone smiles at baby corn.

I know exactly what you're talking about Dave. I've been having the 'grass is greener somewhere else' feeling myself.

And spring is definitely NOT here. What the fuck is up with the fucking snow? Huh? My birthday is coming up - whatever supreme being is up there should know that I want some fucking HEAT!

Okay, I'm done. Have a great day, Dave!

You are all missing the fact that you should be hanging out with me in T-Dot.

Move your heinies here PRONTO.

You find me a job, Jorge, and I'll be there.

I need to relocate.

Finance is my specialty.

I'm an accountant, not a miracle worker, people.

Come on.

Don't use that kind of language with ME, Jorge.

I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT.

COURNTEY/DAVE ===> Ok, the apartment at the end of my hall is getting renovated, which means that the couple that lived is are gone. Which is super news for you two. You two and Sarah can live there, because Toronto's better than Ottawa and better than Tornadoville (er... Bentonville) in various ways. At the very least, we don't get tornados here. Barrie, yes. Toronto, no. See? Like that. Also, y'all have an in, because I'm on good terms with the landlady. It's like it was meant to be! That way, Dave's closer for things like his 24 hour movie marathons (as well as whatever else he and Jorge get up to), and Courtney's relocated to the biggest city in Canada - where else are you most likely to find an accounting job if not the biggest city in a country? - and she can drink good beer, and everyone's happy.

Glad, as always, to be of service in solving the world's problems.

Reay, there is one little problem with your plan.... who would move away from the Ottawa Sens to be in a city full of LEAFS FANS??!!

Dave - How in the hell did we end up living together? (And how many times do you think I can comment on one blog entry?)

Reay - Good idea. BUT - I'm not sure Dave and Sarah want to live with me and Braeden, or vice versa. I don't know that I'd like living with Chuck Norris' alter ego. Although, Toronto does sound great.

Honestly, Reay is a genius.

And Beth, what better way to spread Sensy Goodness around than to move them around the country.

As Reay would say...

It's fuckin' Simple.

Jorge, I can see it now -- the Sarah & Dave Cross-Canada Sensy Goodness Tour! Next stop: Moose Jaw!

Good to know that someone’s been minding the store while I’ve been away. Gents and ladies all: thanks.

Toronto? Nice place to visit and all, but, you know, there’s all that SARS going around still. Also, my company’s Ottawa office has a trackpants-casual dress code that I’m pretty fond of. Hides the weight gain. Further, housing prices are rock bottom here, which is how we afford our nineteen bedroom, two block compound in Sandy Hill.*

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
