It doesn't break three legs to a duck!

<<Ça ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard>> = Nothing interesting.


When you understand it, I'll understand it :P


So it's been 4 months here in Montreal and by popular demand of one, here we are to update again!



It's finally warming up here, it feels like Montreal just skipped this spring business and got straight to summer! All the flowers and trees bloomed all at once and it's nice and warm outside. Except for that sudden snow storm on Tuesday, that disappeared without a trace on Wednesday... What was that about??


Let's see, where to start...

Well, Jordan is still working away at his freelance, which has been made much easier by the purchase of his brand new computer machine, which looks like some sort of scary space ship with blinky lights and scary noises. Also his brand new tablet, which makes for easy and fun artings :D He is due to start French lessons soon, and that should really help out.

I'm working for Maestro Studio now, doing FX for movies and learning a whole whack load. It's pretty crazy! The hours are long, but there are breaks, I've had the past 2 weeks off and it's right back to the work next week on a new movie! It's pretty much what I imagined it would be, not glamourous and hard, haha! But it's everything I love and the opportunity to learn what I'm learning is amazing. Sadly, I appear to be allergic to some of the products, but it's nothing that will kill me, hurf hurf.

2 weeks ago, Kari came to visit and that was a fun time, got to play tourist again, and go for long meandering wanders. Found some cool places here and there, maybe if you guys come and visit we can take you there too ;) In fact, the other day we came across a thrift store called Eva B, it had a big room that was filled waist high with clothes and you could just take your shoes off and dive in and dig around, and anything you found was $1, I came out with three awesome shirts :D

I also think that place was owned by Gandalf.

We also joined the gym here, which is pretty neat because it came with 2 free personal trainer classes and all these other classes for free. I took the Jukari trapeze class, which owned me pretty hard, as I'm sitting here typing and it's pretty much killing my arms!

Plans for the rest of the year:

-Caroline is coming for a month for June, Fantastic :D

-My cousin's wedding in Colorado is at the end of July, so it looks like we're headed there for that, it should be interesting, I suppose, I haven't seen my cousins in a very long time.

-Jordan's parents may visit in the fall, always a good time

-We're saving up for Vietnam for the winter. Because winter here is BALLS

And that's it for now, we certainly miss everyone back home, come and visit!

  2. Sounds like you are really doing as well as one would hope. Great to hear that..nothing like doing what you love doing as no matter how hard it is, it isn't because you love doing it.

  4. How long do you plan on staying in Vietnam? I spent 10 weeks in South East Asia this past Winter to escape the cold myself!
