Life on the other side

Posted by George Wright Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:19:00 GMT

Well I guess it’s been a pretty interesting three months in Canada so far.

I’ve settled down in my new home; the company I worked for was bought out by RIM; I’ve done no open source work; I hosted Troy over the weekend when he came to Toronto for the Ontario Linux Fest; I’ve played a lot of Super Mario World on my new Wii; I’ve seen Niagara Falls and finally I’ve been bloody ill for the past 11 weeks which culminated in 3 trips to the doctor, two courses of antibiotics and almost every weekend indoors sleeping.

What a great way to start life in a new country! Thankfully it looks like I’m finally on the mend and I’m feeling better than I have done ever since arriving in Toronto. I reckon it’ll be another week or two before I’m healthy again - just in time for Hallowe’en!

Maybe I’ll be able to go out on the bike at last.

    …and now you have winter to look forward to….

    On the bike front, make sure you don’t pay full price for anything. There are always end of season or pre-season sales with really good prices on previous season’s stock, so worth biding your time and keeping an eye open for a good sale. Plus, with the snow a month or so away, you can afford to be patient as biking opportunities get pretty rare once the roads are full of slush (unless your a far braver man than me, which i admit many are ;)

    George has a bike that is worth more than most of our bikes combined, and it’s already in Soviet Canuckistan. And yeah, he should get a shit bike for winter riding. I’ll be using studded tires this winter myself.

    There’s blood on the floor And you’re not even moving Don’t really know if it’s mine or yours But you aint moving Eyes are ide as you grin at me You know there’s a place that you’d rather be But if you should die and I survive How could I go on knowing that I am still alive Here breathing There’s a beast that’s living deep within me Forcing me to feed all my needs Yeah he’s in me And he brought us here to end our fears To wave goodbye to all of the tears To start a new life on the other side of the river Well my world would be over Hold on, hold on, I won’t be long Wait for me, man, I won’t ne long You were such in a rush to reach the other side Look at yourself with that look in your eye Smilimg wide and pre-occupied with that river Well my world would be over Send “Other Side

    Pandora charm gift sets will allow the wearer to make their own style of jewelry and notify their own tale applying the various beads which are on hand.tissot watches for men introduced a similar concept for one of its very unique watches.
