Heard it through the grape vine

Confucious said:
The sour grapes ripen into the grapes of wrath,
...you alkie.

Zooom -> Paris

T-22 hours.

Let's cross our fingers and hope for no airport mishaps, delays, lost baggage, and quick customs and baggage returns.  But I have no reason to expect those.  Never happened to me before.

C'mon Air Canada, don't let me down!

This marks the end of my Canadian summer.  It was warm, verging on hot.  Cozy, verging on lethargic.  Delicious, verging on sinful.  And all-around terrific, save for the fact that I was far from Europe.  A friend suggested earlier today that Canada should just join Europe.  I second that motion.  We're more european than the Brits, anyways.  The French influence and all.  Plus the Italians, Portuguese, and all the rest.

Oh, and it was the summer of Starcraft 2.  I temporarily turned into a micro-managing, move-my-probe-into-your-base-ing computo-zombie.  Aaah, exercise.

Le geek, c'est chic!

or how my new favourite movie is Scott Pilgrim vs The World!

Wonderful, funny, geeky beyond belief, it hit all the right notes in my geeky past.  Video games, role-playing games, pseudo-goth, ninjas, sword-play, rock'n-roll, and it was not only filmed in Toronto, it's actually SET in Toronto!

Viva le geek!
