1st one of the year and the year's almost over

So i'm going to start blogging again. This is probably the third or fourth attempt at this, shows how dedicated i can be with things. This is an interesting thing each time because who am i really writing to? Not a whole lot of people unless i tell them about this thing so i guess i can use it as a way to vent because i'm sure i'll find a ton of things to complain about.

Maryanne and I moved to Port Coquitlam in October. Nice to be out of Surrey. We have a pool that we're allowed to use and we actually have a view, which is rare for a basement suite. The landlords are really nice, i mean, letting us use the pool? That's huge and will ensure visits from Ontario peeps for sure.

Work has been going well enough. Still not 100% on the whole teaching thing, not toally convinced i guess you can say. May have to do with the fact that i have to speak French all day, something i haven't done since....ever. My French has improved, there's no doubt about that. I'll just have to suck it up for this year and see what's available next year. I guess i'm just keeping my options open for something else that may come along, never know who you're going to meet. Hopefully i'll just win that lottery tomorrow for 39 mil and not have to worry about it.

The Phillies won the world series this week. Here are a few reasons why i am happy about that:
1) baseball is over
2) the yankees didn't win
3) baseball is over

I've tried in the past to get into that sport. It's fun to play don't get me wrong, but to watch it just drains me. I even used to watch the playoffs with some interest. But it just doesn't interest me at all. Go Jays next year i guess.

Maryanne's sister went to Hawaii today. I'm slightly jealous. We went to Korea this past summer to work for three months and travel for one week but altogether it didn't really feel like much of a vacation. Mainly because work sucked major ass. It was pretty cool to get back to Daegu, see some old people and familiar spots. It was neat (who says "neat") to be back there with Maryanne because that was where we met/hooked up/sealed the deal etc. I don't have any plans to go back there for a long time though. I've had my fill of the country. I really want to go back to Vegas but Maryanne has been there 5 times and travelling seems to be getting crazy expensive. United Airlines is actually charging people like 25 bucks per luggage item. Isn't that rediculous? Pretty soon they'll charge us for using the bathroom on the plane. Seriously, i'm calling that now. It'll be 2 bucks to take a poop and they'll charge you extra if you take too long.

Big week coming up with the election, the US election on Tuesday. Barack will win, which rules out my call of Hillary winning that i made a few years ago. I think Barack will do a better job than McCain, i feel like he can handle situations better. I used to be a fan of McCain's. He used to go on the Daily Show all the time and seemed like a pretty good guy, sort of a left wing Republican if that's possible. This election turned him into something else though, something weird. Maybe his age got to him. I'm not going to waste any time on Sarah Palin other then this sentence. And this one talking about how much of a douche she is dont-cha-know.

We watched the Office tonight on my laptop cause we missed it Thursday night. It was great, Andy is quickly becoming my favorite character. St. Bernard should have more lines on the show for sure. My buddy Anth emails me and my friend Tuna quotes every day from the show and we have to guess which character says what. I'm behind and have been doing kind of shitty lately but i wouldn't put it past Banya to say that he could be cheating at times. There were examples in the past of quotes that you would only know if you either saw the episode the night before or , well no, that's the only reason. I'm on to you Balky.
30 Rock was pretty funny as well. It isn't a show where you'll catch me laughing out loud but it keeps me entertained for sure. Alec Baldwin is funny. Ben Afleck did a Baldwin impression on SNL tonight. It was good at first but got lame after a while i though. SNL has had quite the insurgence lately and i've actually made an effort to watch it, which hasn't happend since i was like 18. Tonight was a dissapointment. What i watch for mainly is Kristin Wiig. She's hilarious.

Pretty long entry for the first one but i guess i wanted to update the last little while because updating over the last year would be just dumb and long. I have a goal of updating at least every two days. I really have no excuse. Peace.
