Game On

Hey yaars,

As I write these words, Pakistan and India have begun their 3-test series for the IndianOil Cup (pictured above). Unfortunately this year I don't have the chance to pull all-nighters watching the action, as professional duty awaits me at 40 Bay St. Nonetheless I'll still be following the matches intensely, analyzing the daily video packages on Youtube. I'll try my best to keep all my non-cricket lovers semi-interested.

Off to the randoms:

- Still loving the new job. Now I'm actually tied up with day-to-day activities and have found myself somewhat stressing at times over deadlines. Most of the stress is tied with leaving a good impression with everyone in the office, which I'm hopefully doing!

- I heard an outstanding dance remix to Seal's Amazing on a podcast last week. I definitely recommend it as a listen

- I ALSO recommend the new track from Bloc Party - Flux. Sadly enough, I only found out about it after listening to my brother on his weekly podcast.

- The Blue Jays finally dipped their feet (or beaks) into the trade market by getting....wait for it.....Marco Scutaro!?! I won't even begin to rant about how our team can't seem to trade without Billy Beane being involved in the deal.

- This evening I read that the City of Toronto may levy a tax on bottled water. The proposal is to have a 5 cent tax on bottles produced in the city, and 10 cents for non-Toronto bottles. While I agree with the city that our water is top-notch, my building's landlord seems to ensure that their bad pipes give our water a nasty taste. Right now I'm drinking from a water bottle that cost 10 cents, do you REALLY think I'll be happy to pay DOUBLE? If you think the answer is yes, you obviously don't know me!

- Going to a mens room in the Air Canada Centre when the Leafs rink is out is like taking a dump in an igloo! Nature called while I was working in our dept.'s storage space and I really, really don't ever want to have to go there again! I think my dookie almost froze before coming out.

- Naps are the key to being naturally energized. I feel old saying this, but the 45 minutes after I get home are pure bliss, and help me relax before some more busy-ness!

Alright, well it's getting late. I know I've napped but now I need my full night's sleep.

L8er y'all!
