6 Weeks Away and Everything Changes
I go away for 6 weeks and everything here changes. Its a strange feeling. When you live in a place for so long, that everything seems in stasis but its not. Maybe I am just noticing something everyone knows about. So while I was away, my best friend Dmitri and his girlfriend Sarah got engaged.…

Home Again, Home Again…
Back in sunny, and fortunately not scorching-hot Toronto. Actually, I flew in on Wednesday but I need about two days to unpack, clean up and readjust. Everything around the house is still in various levels of disorganization, disaster and chaos. So nothing much changed since I left, at least around here. Anyways, currently I am…

Chilling in Umbria
Okay. I admit it: I have been too lazy to write updates in a while. Instead I am enjoying the “high” life in Terni, Italy. Mostly just learning Italian (Mia italiano e povero, perche sono canadese e non sono italiano.) via translation from Polish (yes, its doable), travelling and chilling. Travelling certainly expands one’s perspective…

Telegramic Greetings from Poland
Just wanted to leave a note to all my readers… (the approx. 10 of you, please correct me if I am wrong). I am currently outside my birth city Szczecin in beautiful Poland. Having a wonderful time. Finally stopped raining… and I leave for Italy and Rome on Tuesday. Will write soon. Maybe.

In Reverse Chronology
Yesterday, I turned 24. Or 109 in dog years. I feel old when I think about it that way. But then again, reflecting back these past 24 years have been eventful. Thanks to everyone who helped, guided and positively influenced me over the course of those years. I just hope that the next 24 years…

At least I finished editing the Style Guide for the justCheckers project. Also played a bit of World of Padman and S.T.A.L.K.E.R., both are quite fun and…

Too Much Trip Planning
Its late, but I feel obligated to post at least a short blog post. I wanted to write the article today, but time did not permit. Hopefully, I will have more time tomorrow. Anyways, I started the day with the hope of completing a good chunk of the “landscaping” project. But I started late in…

When Things Fall (Part 1)
Consistency, journals and me are three words that I think will never join in perfect harmony. The weakest link being between me and consistency. However, I do have an excuse… I was err… busy… (what follows is a list of busy excuses). (Sunday) …going on a road trip to Niagara Falls. Now I am not…

Attack of the Lettuce Monster, and the Return of Work
After disappearing for a few months, I went back to the justCheckers website again. Much to my horror I discovered a group of spammers decided to “borrow” my forums. Now I have to engage in anti-spamming. The forums are cleaned of NSFW content, and I began the process of deleting and banning users. Joy. I…

The Compressed Life
I can finally confirm, that there is a life after university. And a compressed one at that too. I could go through the details, but I feel too tired to remember all the details. And too lazy to write them all down today. Last weekend, I went to Montreal for the Taizé event. Got to…
