Oh so very busy

Good intentions don’t blog themselves. I’ve been meaning to write something in this lil’ ol’ digital journal but so much has been going on.

For starters, I wrapped up level 5 of 7 levels of French courses that I’ve been taking for the past few months. I have somewhat of a basic knowledge of French having grown up in ‘Canada’s only bilingual province’ – New Brunswick. I had taken classes at a university but it was only on a weekly basis so nothing really stuck in my head for any length of time and I never felt like I was able to get a grasp on French grammar. I must say that being back in school daily has done wonders for my one-pointed concentration and am happy to say that I received a certificate today noting my ‘diligence’ in applying myself to the course work. Yay gold star!

Secondly, we’ve got a new mutt in our house and training him has been a bit stress inducing. We’re trying to remain patient with him while we work through his separation anxiety, but I can’t help but feel like I perpetually smell like dog pee. Quite often, in my moments of frustration, I look at this wise little furry bodhisattva who is showing me that I need to chill out, not get so upset and realize that all this will pass and his fears of being left alone will disappear like the scent of dog vomit on a carpet in the early morning breeze.

And other than that, I’m a serial blogger. I started a new blog where I’ll be spending some time over the next few weeks yanging on about the annual Fantasia International Film Festival. If you’re interested in cinema, Asian films, horror, anime or anything of that sort, then do check it out.
