- I’m making a Donatello costume.
- The Renaissance painter?
- No, the Ninja Turtle.
- That’s right, we’ve never talked about this… you have kids?
- No, it’s for my boyfriend.
- Ah, your boyfriend’s kid?
- No, my boyfriend.
- How old is he again?
12.05.09 random briefs
- I signed up to give some money monthly to the AIDS foundation and they gave me a bag of goodies. Inside, among other things, was a condom with word AIDS printed all over the wrapper. I think that would kinda kill the mood… but I guess abstinence is good prevention too.
- This week I’m finishing a game project I’ve been producing for the Ubisoft Campus for the past little while. I find I’ve been rebitten by the game production bug. I’ll definitely be looking for a game to produce as soon as I get back from…
- Rome. On Sunday I’m leaving for a short solo romp in the Italian capital. Will eat gelato and prosciutto, visit Roman stuff, draw, do yoga and take a side trip to Pompeii.
12.03.09 how are things at the campus, mj?
Well boss, it’s starting to look like a real production. I’m leaving around 7:30 PM, the creative director called me a castrator in public today, and I can’t tell you how happy I am.
04.12.08 irony
This page on how to make a good powerpoint presentation is presented in a way that makes me think I shouldn’t trust it.
I honestly thought for a second it was a clever way to make its point.
30.11.08 in the news today…
The people of Greenland pass a referendum regarding greater autonomy from Denmark.
Here’s a crappy picture I took of Greenland on the way back from Scotland last September.
There’s people there?
06.11.08 not amused
06.10.08 priorities
The only reason why I finally got off my butt and did my address change with the government yesterday… is that I couldn’t sign up at the local videostore without updated ID.
01.10.08 things that make you go hm
I’ve been thinking about whether to rent out my condo or sell it; I worry about the hassle of having to deal with a bad tenant, but real estate is probably a better investment than the stock market. At least in Montreal.
I was leaning very much towards holding on to it, and then I saw this.
26.07.08 basket case (i know, too easy)
I bought a bike a couple of weeks ago, and went straight from the bike store to the pet store to buy a backpack in which to put Comet for our rides. Unfortunately, she’s way too big for any of the models, and it was with a (slightly) heavy heart that I went on my first big ride last weekend, without her.
The next idea was a bike trailer for children, but they’re very bulky and expensive, not to mention the relative ridiculousness of putting a dog in them. But after much searching, I found this lovely item, made in the Netherlands by Basil. I had a hard time finding it in North America, but have just secured my own.

The ridiculousness isn’t completely out of the picture though, especially considering that I’ve been looking at dog helmets and goggles…

I just dreamt that my computer had an attitude. After a crash, the error message said, “Your work? Pfft! Gone!”
