Domaine was SUCH a blast!

I think my faith has been renewed.

:)

Two more weeks of school then: c'est fini! (so very weird...)

 
*hop* *bounce* *hop*

It's the first game of Domaine this w/e...

I am getting excited :) Yay! (I was afraid that the spark of fun might have died out)

I just hope the weather holds and the bugs are not out in force.

now to make some last minute preparations...

 
Ha...! Neil Gaiman had a link to the little green man running away on his blog...I think this is quite cute...
Click on the green box in my links column and be whisked away to a work-acceptable site. (for those of you who read blogs at work Web Fire Escape is the thing to use)

 
Some really good friends of mine have left for Africa (Burkina-Fasso to be precise)...both Gab and I are quite sad that they will be gone for three months.
Gab has been invited to go and visit them...he is seriously considering it. If I were in his position I don't know what I would do...I always think about travel and about how nice it would be to see the world, but I cannot imagine saying goodbye to my family, to Gab, to my friends, and to Montreal.
It is odd to feel the urge to just take off and live in other places for months at a time but to feel an intense sadness at the thought of leaving home even for a few weeks.
GAH!
(And that is how I could not bring myself to go to China when my parents offered to pay for it...)

I admire E and A, they have traveled their whole lives and seem to have the ability to make friends everywhere (and manage to stay in contact with them!).

If you guys are reading this: I hope your travels are safe and joyful! Say hello to your parents for me. And most of all come back to us whole.

 
The Pagan Association (well...four of its members anyway) did a maypole dance today.
We were a week late because of the rain of last Thursday but we had fun.
:)

Now I just have to figure out where to store all these ribbons...

 
Whew! I haven't posted in a while...

The concert on Saturday was quite nice. :) Gab was all aglow afterwards and the event had a pretty good attendance (about 150 people).
We went to Chinatown that night...it was SO empty! Usually even around midnight the restaurants are relatively full, but not on Saturday. This whole SARS scare thing had remained mostly unreal to me since Montreal has not had any cases but seeing our favorite chinese restaurant (Beijing) with a scarce 20 people inside was somewhat odd. On the plus side, the food was better than we had ever had and the service was top notch.

I got my new glasses on Monday, I adore the frames but I'm not sure about this whole astigmatism thing that was diagnosed...it feels as though my eyes have to strain when I look at things for too long or when they are too close. I tried my old glasses again...there is no doubt that things are more clearly defined with the new lenses but this whole eye strain thing is disturbing. *sigh* I hope it's just a transition...if not I'll have to go back and get my eyes checked again.

Domaine is coming up! I have to reserve my spot for the whole season (330$). The first game is very soon...I can't get myself psyched...I know I'll have fun but I don't feel the "can't sit still" excitement of the first years we played. I wonder if it's because I'm growing out of it...ha! I don't think that I could, not entirely anyway...
