Housewarming —the official date

Okay, after consulting my poll, my own schedule, and my landlady, I have come up with an official date and time for my housewarming shindig:

Saturday, August 12th 2006, starting at 4:00pm. That's late enough to drink, early enough for people with babies (I hope!).

I will try to provide a decent selection of booze, but I will be officially strapped for cash until September, so if you have something in particular you really like, you may want to bring it yourself. I shall provide snack-type foods and hopefully a decent amount of meat for the barbecue. Pray for nice weather! Again, your own contributions are welcome, though if you don't bring anything it's not the end of the world.

For those of you who know where t! and ai731 live, well, I live upstairs. For the rest of you, I will be happy to provide an address and directions by email. I can be reached at brunelle_d at sympatico dot ca, or at mousme at livejournal dot com.

If you're from out of town but think you might be in Montreal then, of course you're welcome to drop by. :)

If you won't be in town, or just can't make it for some reason, we'll tell silly stories about you behind your back consider you to be there in spirit. :)

Questions? Comments? Issues?

Posty spam!

Elizabeth Peters is an evil, evil woman. The more I read, the more I want. I got my hands on a copy of "The Falcon At the Portal" and it just about broke my heart in twelve separate pieces. Wah! Nefret! Wah! Ramses! Waaaaaaah!

I can't begin to imagine how hard it must have been for her to do that to her characters. owldaughter is entirely to blame for my current heartbreak: she introduced me to the series.


In other news, work is work. I have so many things going on these days that I have no time at all to post about them, and more stuff is piling itself on top of that, and yet I still have to wedge sleep in there somewhere. Sleep-deprived!Phnee is not a fun Phnee, let me tell you.

Let's make a grocery list of stuff that's taking place in Phnee's existence these days:

( This got long... )

Anyway, that's what I'm up to these days (and in the near future). I had a lovely chat on the phone with joane and shenlo later on. I looked up their number on canada411.com, since for some reason I didn't have it. I'm not much of a phone person as a rule, but I thought it was high time we have a voice-to-voice conversation as opposed to just an online chat. Not that those aren't a great way of communicating, but sometimes it's nice to hear people's voices on the other end of the line. Also, I got to squee in person about Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic, which is all to the good. :)

Now I'm going to bed. Might post a poll about the aforementioned filter first, but then definitely bed. :)

Theoretical fitness filter

So I mentioned in my last post that I might be making a filter in which I would go into painfully boring detail about my upcoming Campaign For Physical Fitness. If I do end up making this filter (it's all highly theoretical at this point), would you like to be included? I will not at all be offended/hurt/angry if you don't want to read that kind of stuff. Weight and fitness are iffy subjects at best, and are triggery for some people. Hence, y'know, the filter. :)

So:

Oh, and GIP! Sort of...
