Une autre fête

Well, another halloween weekend has come and gone. In the things I didnt do this year were a) go to the masquerade bal at the old port and b) get to dress up as something and party. Although we had been invited to a “burlesque” themed party last saturday, we decided to head up to Ottawa and celebrate with Core and the usual suspects Core’s 25th anniversary. It was a blast! We had a great dinner chez Darryl and Al, great company and some live entertainment - I mean, really, who can stop me from banging the bongoes after a few beers? It was so much fun, and so worth the trip. There’ll be other halloween parties - or other parties for that matter- in the future. In the meantime, Ill save my idea for next year. After the dinner party we still had some energy and saw the texas chain-saw massacre (the newer one). Quite gory. We closed the great weekend with a great breakfast at zak’s diner, a 50’s themed restaurant open 24 hours in the middle of the market. Great food, great people, great times.

chers mates!

New news!

Two quick things, one is the new button you can see on the rights, its a Skype CallMe button! If you have skype, just turn it on and click on it, and if Im around, Ill answer you right away! If you dont have skype, what are you waiting for?!? Get it for free and call everyone!

Second, I have been asked to take more yogic pictures, looks like Im building a great yoga portfolio with Jenn. It would’ve been great to take pics on the couple’s workshop, or even participate in it, but we had other social engagements. This shoot will be yoga with drums, where Jason and invitee will drum through the practice.

Namaste for the invite!

Thanksgiving went well

Well, its almost a month after thanksgiving... that shows you how busy I’ve been since then! With my gf going on a business trip to the GoldenGayte city, San Francisco, and the midterms, and the Habs, its no surprise my blog hasnt been updated. Anyways, thanksgiving came and went with the most beautiful weekend of the fall this year. We have not felt the warmth of sunrays like that since. It was more like mother nature saying “Here you go, enjoy while you can!” And enjoy we did. A few beers, a couple turkeys, some brandy, and a happy Healey family. I could say I missed my family thanksgiving, but we do not have thanksgiving in Mexico, however, I did missed my family. It would be nice to see them at xmas.

Midterms almost over, just one more to go.

Go habs go!

Babe goes to Ottawa City!

This past two weekends have been really great. We visited my darling’s sister and her bf for a nice relaxing night in her place in Ottawa. Well, the first day (friday) we went out -supped at The Black Tomato, where the indie reggae music(I bought a CD!) and the jambalaya rice made my night, not to mention the bottle of red wine that evaporated so fast I had to finish dinner with beer, actually, not a bad combination with jambalaya. After the hours of great conversation, we moved a bit closer to the Market to a pub (sorry mes amis, dont remember the name). Saturday, I spent the whole day at a coffee shop doing some work, but we met again for supper, this time chez Core. Jamie got there pretty much at the same time we got back from buying groceries for dinner. We (ok ok, Shawna and Core) made a delicious chick’n parmiggiana with fresh pasta and fingers of “god”. We ended up playing a couple rounds of Trivial Pursuit-Pop Culture Edition (which for my Mexican friends, es el equivalente a Maraton, pero en lugar de correr, consigues colores de categorias, el que tenga mas gana). Who wouldv’e thought, after some frustratingly weir questions and some stupid misses not to mention great laughs, we finished the night with a cigarrette run and a poutine feast. Nothing better than clogging your veins after drinking all night.

Cant wait to go back!
