  1. Good call. We can have a boytitties contest at the same time.

    hardly fair to the others sweetie...you ALWAYS win!

    I love that ad' date=' for I can't remember what, with a shot of a chest with arms across it and the caption, "Now, I finally have the breasts I've always wanted... unfortunately, they're on my husband."

    :D

    UGGH!!! Bad visual image... bad... must go wash out brain with Javex... uggh.

  2. My belly button was out there for the world to see, with my four-month pregnancy sticking out right behind it.

    Tell me I'm not beautiful. I dare ya.

    I like the tummy. Then again, I think I may have had something to do with the tummy.

    I rub it for luck... I'm expecting it to rub back soon.

    Please.

    :)

  3. Hmmm... here all this time I was using pain as a weapon to motivate myself. Go figure... I was doing it wrong again.

    As one of my more psychotic instructors once put it: "Pain is the sensation of WEAKNESS being DRIVEN from your body!"

    I drove a lot.

    I should have walked.

  4. I just wanted to once again thank everyone who helped Arcane and I with her move from Ottawa; it was a rushed, last-minute deal that wouldn’t have been possible without the fantastic assistance of the members of the board – and most notably, BradM for getting the team together in the final hours.

    Arcane was just ecstatic to hear how many people came to her rescue – and we both owe you all a great debt of gratitude.

    She’s feeling much better now – and I know she is planning on contacting all of you to personally thank you for her assistance.

    We would like to hold some kind of “thank-you” event, and we thought we’d present options here to see what everyone thought (or to solicit alternate suggestions); the current options are:

    (1) Montreal House Party: everyone come to Casa Arcane/Mercenary in Montreal for a house-party/chilli fest. As this place is a multi-level duplex, there’s a limit as to how much noise we can make… but we do have LOTS of space, 3 bathrooms, all the amenities and (most importantly) a well stocked bar. Arcane and I can probably arrange for transportation to Montreal as required by renting a min-van if necessary; certainly transportation within Montreal could be arranged for anyone who comes here by bus. We can probably do this anytime in the next couple of weeks. Big city... lots of fun.

    (2) Cottage-Party: Arcane’s grandparents have a cottage on a lake near Duhamel (approx 2-1/2 hours from Ottawa). Big place… noise would be less of an issue… but somewhat more limited in terms of bathroom and shower space. Mercenary could bring the boat (depending on the time of year) and we can see just how well hippies float… er… then again… perhaps not. Transportation could be a real problem… but we could take Lennie and Squiggy (the resident raccoons) out dancing. We’d probably want to wait a month or two to get warmer weather and ensure the cottage isn’t snow/ice-locked, however the cottage is winterized and comes with a wood-stove. As long as we leave the cottage as we found it, we can pretty much do anything we want (hmmm... human sacrifice followed by Aztec orgy).

    (3) Camp-Out: We’d need to find an appropriate place (but it would no doubt be closer to Ottawa)… and Mercenary can put his half-dozen or so tents to good use and show off his camp-engineer skills and build us a hippy-hotel out in the bush somewhere. Advantages: depending on the location, we can probably do pretty much anything we want (dancing naked around the fire-pit anyone?)… however, we have the classic problems of water, electricity, crappers, showers (if desired), police raids and the band warning everyone about the brown-acid (er… never mind). These are all fixable problems… and while this particular event may be the most complex in terms of logistics, it certainly has the most flexibility. It would, however, probably need to wait until late spring due to the weather (and the fact that Arcane is allergic to cold).

    So… thoughts? Preferences? Let us know. ::

  5. Greetings All,

    I’m shamelessly canvassing for help with moving Arcane this upcoming weekend (Saturday 19 Feb 05).

    We still have about 1/2 of a 2-bedroom apartment to pack and load into a UHAUL, and I’m hoping that I can get assistance from the local community in exchange for food, barely-pop (beer) and other party favours.

    Arcane, as many of your know, is in the “family way” and wont be there unfortunately; there have been some complications, and its best that she stay at home in Montreal and rest as much as possible. There’s a very good risk that she could loose the baby – so she’s had to let the packing and moving go while she’s been concentrating on baby-making.

    That leaves a great deal of work to do for this upcoming weekend.

    I’m figuring that we can meet at 1PM this Saturday at Arcane’s place (at Lincoln fields – near BradM’s place) and we can get everyone organized and begin with some initial team-building exercises (sacrifice of a pizza and beverages) followed by severe grunt-work.

    I’ll be honest – there’s a lot of stuff to pack and load… so we’ll probably be working until about 7-8PM… but supper (at The Works) will be included when we’re all done.

    For those of you who, like me, need to eat on a somewhat more regular basis (or, at least, before 7 or 8) – no worries… we’ll have munchies on hand.

    Please contact me via move4arcane@small-c.com for details.

    Thanks in advance… from both Arcane and myself.

  6. Quebec plates? funny vehicle? Honest... I've been in Montreal the whole week.

    If you are driving the clown-car, you might as well have it PAINTED like the clown car.

    It stops at red lights and 20 consultants get out and run around and in all the other doors.
