Well, here I am in Canada!

The guys are at work so I’ve got the place to myself for a few hours. Found a cool, really early Corrosion Of Conformity album (back when they were punk) in Ethan’s CD collection which I am listening to at this present moment. And I’m feeling kinda hungry now so I think I’ll go and rustle me up some breakfast in a minute.

Yesterday was just a strange day. I thought it would be a lot longer than it was. The flight from London wasn’t as mind-numbing as I expected, I studied a bit and read a bit and saw a great Jack Lemmon film called The Apartment. Customs was a bit of a chore though - the first stage was alright, but the second guy (after baggage collection) got really defensive and loud when he asked me where I was from and I said ‘Ireland’. Maybe he was just having a bad day, or maybe he’s always a prick (and a prejudicial prick at that), but screw it, I know better than to mess with people in positions of authority.

Anywho, I got out eventually, met Ethan at arrivals and drove out here, got a movie - Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back - and a pizza when Ryan got home, and basically took it easy. I have still yet to experience the really touristy sites (CN Tower et al) but that’s all to come over the next few days.

One annoying thing though: I took care to get enough credit for my phone and confirm that I’m registered for international roaming, but wouldn’t you know it, the network is shite here so I can’t get a connection. As a result, I can’t text home or receive any messages. Not good, not good at all.
