Needs Improvement

"Right... and what is a quid again?"

I'm a terrible blogger. I have lots of things to write about but I can never find the time to write about them. Here's what I've been doing lately:

• Riona and I bought our first home, a nice 1,500 square foot, 3-level townhouse in downtown Toronto. We take possession in April.
• Riona and I watched seasons 1, 2, and 3 of 24, and seasons 1 and 2 (to date) of Lost. TV on DVD is crack.
• I spent a week in Leeds, UK working with a team from Accenture. The title of this post comes from a 5 minute introduction to British currency courtesy of the Travelex woman at the airport.
• I read some books. I Am a Cat by Soseki Natsume, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Bee Season by Myla Goldberg, and others.
• I finished my MCAD certification and started studying for MCSD.
• I completed 142 hours of my 341 hour training plan. I am a training machine!
• I started doing technical interviews with our recruiters. It's not something I get to do often, so it's exciting.
• I gained weight. I've got to lay off the vending machine food now that I'm back in the Toronto office.

The good news is that, barring any surprise trips to the UK, my side project will be finished and bloggable by the end of next week. Stay tuned!
