So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish

G'day my peeps!

Today is October 27th, exactly 7 months until my birthday. This is a reminder for all of you to start thinking of a birthday gift for me ;). In case you're wondering, I like Harry Potter things.

So, it is now the fourth week of October, and I still have no definitive word on when I'll be moving to California. I'm now hoping it'll be about mid-November when I get get myself down there and start working. I'm -so- looking forward to working. It's been way way too long.

Ooh! Guess what I've gone and done today! I went and donated blood! I'm now 1 pint less blood mass! And to top it all off, it was (apparently) my tenth donation, so I got a cool pin and a keychain. Woohoo! Know what donating blood means? It takes less alcohol to get drunk! Okay, though that isn't my primary reason for donating, it sure is an awesome consequence and comes close.

In other news, I'm going to a concert tonight at Art Space with my friend Celia. Apparently Celia's a big fan of this lady Penny Lang and just found out she's playing here, so we're heading there at 8 tonight. That'll be good. And Saturday night we're heading to the Out Of Alba concert, also at Art Space. They're such a sweet group, and have been around the Prince George scene for a long time running. In fact, two of the members are the parents of one of my high school best friends, Claire, so I got a lot of exposure to them when I was younger. They're lively and lots and lots of fun. Good tunes. I think they're coming out with another album soon, too.

That's about all the news on my end of the rope. It was sunny yesterday and today, which was a very nice change from the weeks and weeks of gloom and rain we'd been having. Glad to see Travis update his blog (at least someone is).

So let me know how things are going for people; I know it's paper season for those in school, so good luck. I don't have to deal with that anymore! Too bad!

Take care, ya'll!
Jane

What? You like Harry Potter paraphernalia? I never would have guessed. Not in a million years. Wow. The things one can learn by reading Jane's Blog. ;-)

And yes, I indeed am painfully aware it is paper season for those of us in school. Thank you so much for reminding me.

(Hmm... apparently I can get somewhat sarcastic when I get tired. I blame the papers! Grrr! Papers!)

Hey Jane - I finally updated my blog, so thanks for reminding me to do so! It's been pretty crazygonuts (U!) here the past few days with papers and midterms and stuff.

I think Jane also likes Lord of the Rings paraphenalia (just in case y'all need more ideas...)

I have no papers to complain about, but I do have dial-up internet in my office, which I DESPISE!!!

However, I have a cool car, so all is well in my life...

I don't want to work. I just want to bang on my drum all day...

Hey, Jane! I've snooped many times on your's and Darryl's sites, so I thought I better speak up. Nice blog!

Good luck on the pursuit for that working visa. Ugh! As if moving to a new job wasn't stressful enough.

I have a friend who just moved to a new job in England and it was down to the day before she had to be there, and she still had no permit to work! So, on the way over to England, she had to make a stop in Ottawa and pay a visit to the Embassy, in person. Finally, after a morning of convincing them that she had applied months prior and was, in fact, starting a job in England within the next few days, the paper work was complete.

All of this happened over the summer, so the fact that she had to do everything via the interent and could never contact anyone by phone (I guess Ottawa shuts done for July and August??), made her experience extraordinarily difficult. Alright, I'm sure this will not happen to you.

Oh yea, Andy...you don't have a drum.

But I wish I did...

If you did have one, even less homework would get done. Just a hunch...;)
