1月30日 The Best Winter Tires are BootsAbout 12 inches of snow fell on Sherbrooke in the past 48h as the temperature rose to just below the freezing point. To most of you misguided souls, that meant a long commute back home, getting stuck in snow banks and wearing down tires on the iced-up hill of King street. For those of us lucky enough to live close enough to actually WALK to work, it was a lot more enjoyable. We actually ended up getting the cross country skis out and we went out for a stroll on the streets and around the lake. Along the way, we stopped and helped to push out two cars that had gotten stuck, hopped back on our skis and continued our journey northward, leaving behind people with puzzled looks but gratified smiles. Magic.

1月28日 Cameras and CinemasDifferent things are in gear in Sherbrooke. Shopping for a digital camcorder is now in full swing. I haven’t settled on which camera to buy yet, but one thing I’ve decided is, I WILL spend the extra couple of hundred golden coins and go all out on a High Definition one. It seems like the way to go, and you never know when the next big movie idea will come in. I feel like I need to be prepared. The big two contenders right now are Canon and Sony. As of today, I’m leaning towards the Canon one since I’ve been so impressed with all their photography equipment. It’s not a direct no brainer, but it feels right. And as they say, intuition is the mother of all action. Ok, maybe nobody says that, but it sounds like something the forward thinkers of yonder like Socrates or Aristotle might have said way back then…
I’m also very excited about Bishop’s University’s Modern Language Week Movie Festival that’s happening this week in Lennoxville.

1月26日 The Life and Times of a Great Canadian HeroSo here we are AGAIN. Some would call this version 3.0; I prefer to label this new Blog start: “The Life and Times of a Great Canadian Hero”. Some would call me narcissistic and I won’t correct them. Notice the major change in format, this blog is now in English. I will not renounce my great French-Canadian heritage, but I will suspend it for a greater purpose. See below.
So here are the BIG things going on right now: 1-I sprained my elbow AND my wrist while snowboarding this week-end. Conditions were atrocious and we were gliding on ice, getting pelted by strong northern winds that brought the already freezer burn inducing -22 Celsius down an extra 8 degrees to a bone chilling, arm breaking -30 degrees. Not a good day to be on the slopes. Why were we there then you might ask? With hindsight, I can safely say that I’m still not exactly sure… Good fun though, until I fell and mangled my arm.
2-If you have been living under a rock for the past two weeks, you might not have heard of The Best Job in the World (to be read with echo and reverb for maximum effect), the main reason why this blog is back online and I’m writing all of this instead of calling you all one by one to tell you about my life. This seems like an incredible opportunity that falls exactly in my Life’s Master Plan (more on the master plan in the next couple of days) Stay tuned as my job application subscription video gets online soon. I need to buy a camera first.
3-I might have won $43,000,000 during the weekend, but I haven’t checked yet. If I don’t mention it again, then I probably haven’t won.
