The people who lined up to get their hands on an iPhone really puzzled me. I mean, it’s really nice but is it THAT nice? Yeesh.

Also, Happy Canada Day!!! 😀

That’s right, ladies and gents, it’s over. It only took six months of me being in New York to realize that I had to make a change. So, on Sunday, I made a move.

I am now a Verizon man! What’s more is that I am also a BlackBerry man! It is as highly addictive as people say it is, and I am convinced that it will be even more addictive when I use it more and get used to it. Sah-weet!

So, needless to say, shoot me an e-mail (at my Sympatico, school, or webpage address) and you could be getting a very quick reply no matter where I am! And now that I am with a real carrier, I get unlimited nights (after 9) and weekends, so call me, too! 🙂

PS This was written from the BB. Woot!

I have been going to the gym between three and five times a week since I arrived in New York (note: not all of them were for weight training; I boulder some of those days… I’m not THAT crazy!) and I have been seeing some results. Part of this is due to a very conscious effort to watch what I’m eating and drinking. The goal is to have that ever-elusive six-pack and some good muscle definition by the end of the summer. While it may be kind of cool to really bulk up, I don’t think that my body is capable of it and, well, it is also the tiniest bit impractical.

In an effort to kick this routine into high gear, I have enlisted the help of one of the personal trainers at the gym. I knew that I did not have the best form or technique when I am doing some of the exercises (particularly with the upper body ones), and it would be inefficient to continue with that all summer long. Sure, I might get the same results, but I think that I lower the chances of getting hurt and increase the rate of development this way.

Man, I can’t wait to be a lean, mean climbing machine!!
