I got this gem off WIRED Mag' s website. I'm too lazy to look up the link to Wired, just look up Regina Lynn's latest article.
Suffice to say that the Faceless Invasion will hit Montreal on March 31. If I didn't have something more important to do, like the ORSF, I'd day-trip it to Montreal just to watch the circus.
Hilarious!

At last...
Finally, my competitions are over! All that's left to do is to finish up the paperwork: Letters to winners and losers... erm, unsuccessful applicants. What with fighting this cold, it's been a biatch...
I'm hoping to spend a week off in early April, to get out of the house and away from sources of stress and screw my head back on straight. I plan to travel to Montreal to visit my sister, then on to Waterloo to see Mark and Ena, and then to Londo to visit my Dad-in-law, then travel back. I may make a side trip to visit the Pearces at Shabomeka Lake. Depends on my mood... :-)
I'm going to try to find some geocaches along the way.
I look back over the last year and a half or so, and see how much things have changed in my life. Maybe I'll talk about it in another post.

Dazed & confused...
Lots going on in my life, I SOOOO desperately need to take a break, but I don't have time...
It all started off with the February competitions. I thought I was "on top" of everything, but with the Lindau selection process, the finish up of the Doctoral Prizes, and the selection of the AH-HAs (not to mention calls from students who needed help filling forms on the Lindau website - let's just say that the English version of the website could have used a more rigorous English edit), it pretty much filled my cup to the brim. Add to that ORSF fundraising and certain family issues means I'm pretty much emotionally exhausted at the end of the day. So I worked on some ORSF stuff this morning, and will take the dog for a walk with Cheryl later this afternoon.
Oh, and the kid's comp went on the blink, to much of their exasperation and gnashing of teeth. After intermittently trying to solve the problem, I figure that IT MUST BE the power supply going on the blink... just about everything else except the case has been replaced!
Add to that, the cherry on my sundae: because of a particularly-worded work-related e-mail, I thought that this past Sunday (today) was when we were to go on Daylight Savings. Because Marc was feeling sick, I drove him in to work. I drove him in at what I thought was 7:00 AM, but was in fact 6:00 AM... let's just say he wasn't pleased with the Old Man for getting him up an hour earlier than needed.
Boy, I hope this week gets better!
(On re-reading this, it doesn't make much sense - but you know, I really don't care at this point...)
