resolution, blood, furniture, party

[metawidget]

In the year 2007 I resolve to: Stop making silly resolutions. Get your resolution here.

Elizabeth gave blood yesterday, and I went along as moral support (I miss being able to give, but maybe I'll be able to give again this year sometime)… the wait was pretty long and they offered everyone in the waiting area chocolates from the Laura Secord next door. On the downside, the Radisson Globule is filled with blood-related art and literature. I wouldn't be surprised if they were nudging donors' heart rates and blood pressure up, like here (found in montrealais' journal).

My parents gave me a new dresser for Christmas, to replace the older-than-me one I've been using for over 20 years. I assembled it last night, and put it in before going to have some beer and free peanuts with people from Ellie's work. As we were leaving, one of her co-workers, citing 'French humour' asked if “on allait dans la toilette pour faire l'amour.” Hmm.

Dude, I forgot to tell you: Ellie's CD finally made it to my grandparents'. I got it over (American) Thanksgiving. Did my loonies ever make it to you?

Also, the packaging on that thing is awesome!

I can't believe it took so long!

I can. I don't know much about the Canadian Postal Service, but the American version leaves a lot to be desired. Another friend sent me a package from Vancouver last year, and he had to unpack and repack the thing about twelve times in front of customs agents or whatever. The important thing, though, is that I finally got it and was able to listen and now, I can gush!

No loonies in the mail, alas… when you make it up here, buy me a beer, we'll call it even.
