September 22 - the companion ditches the car for a cage

 I'm writing this currently after having driven to work.  I have been trying to bike as much as possible, and although it's not raining, it was very cool this morning, plus I'm exhausted.  I tried to celebrate the World Car Free Day...

...good thing I drove a van instead :D

I'm also writing on this computer thing, which is made possible by electricity, and there are lots of new vehicles which are also electric.

One of the fathers of electricity is Michael Faraday who did a lot of work on electromagnetism, creating dynamos, motors and transformers.  He would have been 230 years old today.

Another explorer of the sciences, well science fiction is the Doctor.  Who doesn't love a good ol' fashion quirky show like Doctor Who.  I first started watching with the 2005 relaunch with Christopher Eccleston, who quickly found a companion (Doctors always love to travel with a companion) in Billie Piper.

She turns 39 today.

Rose was always my favourite companion.

Hey, just been busy [87/119]

It's been hella busy lately.
Last week with getting the car, getting ready for Small Business Week, rehearsals for the Rodney Brown show, Mandy breaking her phone, me getting the new S3 on Bell... crazy times.

I promise I'll write something longer soon... just feeling the crunch lately - and my teeth can tell (I tend to start grinding my teeth the busier I am... which is funny as I have a dentist appointment today).

Ciao!

yup... I'm on LTE now!

That was a fast / long 2 weeks [78/109]

Oxymoronicism with the title?  Yes.
But, those who've been there, can understand what I meant.  I really have little time to myself these days.
So, where'd I leave off...

Don't know about you, but I had an awesome weekend [33/50]

So I had to drive this morning.  Specifically because the check engine light came on the dashboard, and I was bringing it in.  As I was doing that the 'ABS' sensor light came on as well.


Why am I not cursing?  It sounds like it's going to be a few hundred dollars EASILY.


Well, we had an awesome weekend.


Friday we had a staff get together at the boss'.  Dean got enjoy a trampoline:

And we had not only good food and company, but a bonfire!

We can't wait to go camping.

Saturday, besides being my birthday, means it was time for some Teeball with Dean and the team - where we caught up 2 games we missed and had a great bbq and play time on the equipment.  Mandy even made cupcakes!

It also meant some nice dinner with my folks and Dean.


Sunday was Father's Day, and I got a cool card from Dean and an Angry Birds shirt to match his.  I got my dad some BluRay movies for his player (he's only ever had Mama Mia!, and I was pretty sure he didn't want to watch that).  I got him some nature movie "Life" and Fox & the Hound 1 & 2, so he can watch with Dean.  I was going to get him 50/50 or Bucket List, but thought it might be a bit too morbid.


It was a great weekend.


And to top it off I got the HTC One X in!

This is cool, as Friday I got a call from the HTC contact that they had read my blog (this one?) about how antsy I was to get it.  So she called to let me know it wasn't coming in that day, but for sure Monday.  Talk about good customer service!


Here's to more like that over the summer!


Now, I've dropped below 2/3 of my biking %ge, but I'm sure I can get above that soon as the weather gets better.  Will probably have to drive the majority of this week (2 events planned)... ah well.
