Briefly:

The Montreal weekend was great. jubilancy and oneangrykate(s) are great. mcee was as lovely as ever, but in a completely different city than I'm used to her being lovely in. I saw my Montreal cousins, and they were great. I barely thought about my thesis at all, had a really seriously lovely time, and came home only very reluctantly. I am making plans to either kidnap or be kidnapped by the aforementioned Montreal girls permanently.

My cycling preoccupation is getting out of hand. Several Montreal cyclists think that they were being perved upon, when really I was lusting over their bikes. I cannot pass a cycling shop without sticking my nose against the window and trying to read the price tags on their display models. I am currently attempting to figure out what make and model of road bike offers the best value/cost balance, but the internet, for once, is not helping. I am very confused, but soldiering on.

Thesis continues to anti-develop. Thesis supervisor should get her requested couriered print out of it in hand tomorrow morning and perhaps something will happen shortly thereafter. Defense, I hear, should be early September some time.

I went to see Sky High with lmondegreen this after noon. The movie was cute and amusing, and the same can be said, as always, of the company. Afterwards, I gave lmondegreen a ride home and met her dog, who is absolutely adorable. He's big and affectionate and kind of floppy looking.


Tomorrow's plans include:

- bike ride
- getting passport pictures taken
- submitting passport renewal forms (w/ pictures)
- drooling over bikes at what seems to be a particularly well-favoured downtown cycling shop (all the models I'm most interested in list this particular shop as their Ottawa distributer)
- buying boxes to start packing my house up for the move to North Bay, which is coming up...quickly

We miss you, franchise!

Also, we've been walking around sighing OH, STEADS all day. We all know where the blame lies for that one.

let me know what your budget is and i'll set the W on it. well ok i'll tell him the budget is $200 less than you say it is then set him on it, since he'll get slightly over excited and push up your budget. :)

also ebay is your friend once you know what you want. we saved about £1000 on kx's bike that way. :)

but seriously W lives for tasks like this. :)
