That John Denver was full of sh...

I am currently nested in my very own house in Winnipeg, Manitoba; it is a very snowy February night. We made it back to Winnipeg without making any wrong turns that took us halfway across the country in the wrong direction. We then went to Germany and Austria for 3 weeks to visit family.





This is what happened.





We've moved back to Winnipeg into the house we bought, are fixing it up, and I started working in downtown Winnipeg. I was REALLY close to moving back to LA (Irvine) to work for a video game company that currently makes the world's most popular MMORPG. I ended up getting flown down there for an interview and was offered a job. It would have been an absolute dream for me but I ultimately decided against it, many of the reasons why are found in what I've written in this weblog. It was the hardest decision I've had to make and I learned a lot about myself.

I have some thoughts about our trip which I will discuss on a yet to be named weblog I'll be starting in a few weeks: I will post it. The focus of the weblog will be about the role of women in Italian society between 1520 and 1525. Actually I don't think it will have a specific theme but will be about topics that require more thought and discussion in the public realm and will more than likely contain posts with slightly offensive titles such as:

March 5 - "We Love To Hate Winnipegers Who Move To Alberta And Although I Realize We Love To Hate Them I Still Do"
March 14 - "Asians Love Basketball"
March 22 - "I'd Be Fine With Stephen Harper Being The World's Supreme World Commander of the World"

... and so on and so forth. Any and all animals will be painted.
