We shan't discuss the lady.

1) I don't kiss and tell.

2) I will get from too many sides at once...

As for the job, Google was trying to get me for work in one of their server farms. Unfortunately, I was here on a work visa at the time, and they could only hire me if I had Perminant Residnet status. They waited for me for 6 months. Canada took 6 months 2 weeks processing the paper work and all. For the space of two weeks ... I could have been in a geek mecca. 

Is it likely that the U.S. will have a female president in the near future? In your lifetime? Why?

       I think so and I certainly hope so. I think people are ready to see a major change. Added to that, the US is definatly far behind countries like England, Canada, and New Zealand all of whome have disregard sex in favor of ability for some, if not all, of their higher offices. New Zealand being one where at one time all higher offices were occupied by women alone.

If you could eat anything you wanted, and not have to worry about gaining weight/being unhealthy/inhumane, what would you totally pig out on?

I have to say, I am a sushi guy. With variety it can be healthy and tastey. I just wish I could afford to eat it all the time. Heh.

Well, I moved to Canada from Ohio in 2001, after I dropped out of Uni. Ended up getting a student visa ans staying for two years, getting an associates. I had to go back to the states avter that ... however while finishing school I got a job offer and came back in 2005. I am back in Toronto, happy and loving life in one of the best cities in the world (imho)

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I think definately a night owl.  Some mornings getting up is hella difficult. My own fault tho. If I got out of bed when I woke,no probs. Unfortunately, I am the lazy type which means I end up waiting just long enough to make my morning painful.

What's the last thing you crafted, constructed or created yourself?

Not sure if this counts, but I put a new stereo in the car. It takes mp3's, SD-Cards, USB sticks in addition to all the normal stuff. Also hooked it up to the MD player and readed it to mate with my new micro pc.

What was the highlight of this past weekend?

Keira Knightly , erm ... derr ... yeah. Finally got to watch Pirates of the Caribbean (The first one) for the first time. This means I can now go watch the new one. What can I say, it was a slow weekend.  Homeworking most of Sunday, went to visit mum-in-law on Saturday as she left her cellphone over on Friday.  Really which it's wasn't Monday. It's not a fun day.    

What's one thing that you hope to do or accomplish before the end of this year?

I'd like to finish school so I can go one and start revisting, upgrading, and adding to my certifications!   

What did you do this weekend?

Nephew's Birthday party dictates the show up at Rockwood Conservation Center for at least half a day to part take in camping activites of Wife's family. Too much homework to take full weekend (darn). Lots of sugar was consumed, Elly-hime was looked after. Generally a good time was had. Way too many gay jokes made at 8 year old nephew's expense, not that he got them. Makes you wonder tho .....

Classes dictate sunday is for homework. Pretest for Human Resources Managment went well. Homework was difficult yet fullfilling.  USB Cd Carousals were procured. Taint was procured. Much randomness was watched. Much worriedness continues over very very very very good friend acting strange.

That is all :)

What's the strongest association you have between a scent and a memory?

Pine, always reminds me of the Holidays. And that reminds me of Ami back in Kyoto. Dun know whatever happend with her, but that was a fun time .... nice apartment too.
