Who did you just compare me to...?

"You're like a Sephiroth with an ailing Cloud in the vicinity. Gotta. Make. Him. Suffer." - Pauline

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is who I am. At least, that's according to the ever awesome (include your choice of adjectives here) lady who shall remain nameless. Oh wait, the name's already there as a source. NEVER MIND!

So I'm still alive. Yeah, I amaze myself too. I didn't think I'd make this long seeing how I have to dodge saw blades and flying pieces of wood launched by tablesaws. Then again, I create my fair share of chaos too. My hands? No, that's not dried blood. At least, I don't think so. If it is, then it certainly isn't mine. Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud.

So I headed back to Montreal this past Thanksgiving weekend. Saturday was spent with family of course. Sunday was monopolized largely by the Cheng family but that's to be expected. Sunday night, however, was the kicker. Poutine @ La Banquise. The one and only. THAT'S HOW A POUTINE IS SUPPOSED TO TASTE LIKE! Le Sigh... I already miss it. Okay, let's make this a rule/tradition/whatever the hell you want to call it: La Banquise at least once whenever I'm in town. I don't care if I have to drag you out of your bed at 3AM and bring you there freezing your ass off in nothing but your skivvies. You're coming with me.

There were far too many people I didn't get a chance to see/talk to when I was in town. Then again, it was a really short visit. Next one around, I promise I'll make some time for you.

Now to hit the sack and dream of the beach.

GERONIMOOOO!!

So I'm slowly recovering from the inevitable beating that was coming my way courtesy of a lady that shall remain nameless. That would be Pauline Huynh @ ... Okay. I'll refrain from giving out the address. As to why she put me in the hospital, that's because I haven't been updating this little space on the web. Brutal taskmaster and slave driver, eh? You must asking yourself how she was able to do that in the first place. Let's just say she busted out her bankai and I didn't stand a chance. I mean, one small part of it involves a freakishly tiny hippo wielding a sword so big and long, it puts Cloud and Sephiroth's respective weapons to shame.

Pauline, will you PLEASE get your mind out of the gutter? You're hopeless, you know that?

So I've been hired at M. Art. What is it? It's an architectural cabinetmaking firm based in Toronto that specializes mostly in commercial business. They dabble in residential as well but most of the business comes from restaurants and offices. Most of the commercial business they do are from scratch, meaning that there's very little renovation going on. Most projects are for new businesses or new branches of existing businesses. Most of these projects also have their own designers and architects so there will be a number of "Uhh... That's not going to work. Just ... no. And is it really supposed to look like _______?" Feel free to fill in the blank.

That's it for now, I suppose. Toodles!
