Busy Week Ahead!
It's been a busy week or two! I was down in Waterloo Jan 21 to help judge the engineering fourth year design projects - I even got to do a big speech! It's always tons of fun going down to see the projects...the students almost all do a fantastic job on the projects, and there are so many neat and different ideas.
Had the girls over last weekend for brunch - the one downside of our apartment is that there's fairly limited accommodation for big groups in terms of seating etc, but I think we managed pretty ok with the 9 or so folks who were here! Yay for crepes! Yay for really good maple and honey breakfast sausage!
Was at a bud's place last night and played Rockband for the first time. While I think I'd get tired of it pretty quickly, it was actually a surprisingly good time. Simon - you'd be glad to know that I haven't lost much of my Wii tennis finesse.
Tomorrow is Super Bowl. I'm heading over to Ryan & Tova's house with LT for our annual super bowl + proline festivities. This year I'm optimistic that we'll actually win on atleast one of our proline tickets - we bet "under" on almost everything... first half points UNDER 23.5, longest punt return UNDER 18.5 yards, QB sacks UNDER 5.5, etc)
I'm heading down to New York for Monday and Tuesday, then am down to Waterloo for coop interviews on Friday. Also, I thiiiink Ali starts in TO on Monday! New lunch buddy!

Pay phone calls to cost 50 cents
For those of us who are cellphone hold-outs and rely on pay phones, it looks like we're coming to the end of the 25 cents phone call era. The cost of a pay phone call is soon to double to 50 cents a call. I guess I'd prefer that than some strange amount like 40 cents.
Also, Sara sent me an Interac Email money transfer today( I loaned her $10 on the weekend at the Good Food show so she could buy a big, big sausage/pepperoni for Dave). Kinda cool, I just had to click on the link in the email and go through my bank's online banking site and poof, I had the money!
Speaking of the Good Food show, it was a blast and totally worth doing! It's like one of those homeshows, outdoor shows, clothing shows, etc. You pay to get in, and there are tons of booths almost all with free samples and discounted products. I ate/drank so much that by the end I was too full to keep sampling...seriously. The winner for best value purchase was....34 garlics for $1. (I went halfsies with Yonny).
Also, I've been glued to the tv the past few weeks watching Sens games. They're looking good!
