Been Awhile

So it turns out that keeping a blog is harder than I thought it would be. I thought I could just come home everyday, and spend 5 or 10 minutes writing my blog, but it's proven to be tougher than I thought. It's been about 2 weeks since I started this blog, and lots has happened that I should write about. Amanda and I have done some fun stuff.

Two Fridays ago we went to see the sound and light show on Parliament Hill with Jeff, Sabrina and Yemisi (from Amanda's lab). It was really cool! It was short movie clips, and pictures projected onto the Parliament buildings, with music and audio clips about Canada's history. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I don't know if they are still doing right now, but it was fun. After that we went to a place called Oh So Good. It's a dessert/coffee place, and is really good!! It has regular coffee and tea and hot chocolate, and specialty coffees also. Their dessert are fantastic! The pieces are large, but not large enough to be too much, and I believe they make them all in the store. It's located on Murray street in the market, so if you're in the area, look it up and go in for an amazing dessert. Amanda and I just hung out at the apartment on Saturday and watched a couple movies. On Saturday we helped our friend Allison move. She wasn't moving very far, so it wasn't a lot of work.

Nothing too much happened at work last week, other than my laptop having to be sent away to get fixed because of a broken/loose power plug. It got sent away on Tuesday, and it's not back yet, so it's been annoying at work having to use one of the spare laptops.

This past weekend, Amanda and I went to Yuk Yuks with Amanda's sister Angie, brother-in-law Robin and out friend Stephanie. Amanda and I have never been, and we loved it! There were 4 comedians performing (well, three comedians, and one hostess) and they were all good. The best one though was the headliner, Pete Zedlacher. Apparently he's been on a couple tv shows and won some Comedy awards. I was laughing so hard during his whole performance. I defiantly want to go to Yuk Yuks again sometime (hopefully for Mike Bullard who's coming in October!).

Amanda and I also went to St.Laurent mall on Saturday, and I made an awesome find! I've really been getting into the new Dr. Who series lately, and I've been wanting to watch some of the original episodes, but I haven't been able to find them online, but Music World happened to have Dr.Who: The Beginning. It's the very first 13 episodes of Dr. Who filmed back in 1963. I've just finished watching them, and they were great! They were full of cheap audio and visual effects, and the acting was a little off sometimes, but they were still fun to watch. Now I just need to find the rest of season one, and the other 25 seasons, and I'll have the whole series! I think it's going to take me a very long time before I reach that stage!!

Well, I think that's enough for now. I'm definitely going to try to write more than I have been, and I think it might be easier, because I've discovered a new feature where I can e-mail my blogs, so now I can write blogs from anywhere I an get reception on my Blackberry!
