From now on

And this time with a high speed and wireless connexion ! (thanks to my airport express)

I'll take the time on this Saturday morning to give you some updates on what kept me occupied in the last week and most likely will in the upcoming week too.

First, my move:

Overall, it went well. After throwing away more things that I have threw away last year after my move from my house to my previous apartment, I thought it would be a very small move but when you start to pack every items that are spread across the entire apartment, you soon realize that what seemed to be a single full car packed trip quickly turn into 3 round trips (+ 1 trailer to carry my loveseat.) Bringing all these boxes up to the third level where my condo is located provide me my daily training and amused greatly the second floor woman who kept on saying:

“you will be in shape”.

The same night I went to my friend's house at his annual “bring your tent” party. I didn't brought my tent because I wanted to be already in my new apartment when I would wake up the day after so I could start unpacking immediately and that is what I did.
Today most of the work is done. A few boxes still lie around the place but I should be able to take care of them before the end of the weekend.

Secondly, the job:

Since my boss is on vacation for 3 weeks, I have a lot of things to take care of. Like this filming crew who takes a lot of my time with their pre-filming visits and negotiations. They come directly from Hollywood to shoot a short fishing scene of this movie in the park. Why our park? Because it's close to Montreal where a part of the filming will be done. The rest of the movie will be shoot in China where all the action in the movie suppose to take place.
If Barney and Amélie decide to leave Vancouver and come back to the park soon (and with a little synchronization) they might appear on the big screen as figurants! Me, I'll be in Iceland during this time...


And that brings me to my third subject: My trip:


If you take a look at the countdown in my sidebar
you can see that it's coming quickly.
I'm quite prepared but everyday I find new things I had to do or buy or arrange. Yesterday, I received the group meeting time and place for when I will arrive in Reykjavik. I don't have to say that my excitement really start to build up.
Today I will go buy the last missing items.

And for the rest of the days until my departure, They are already schedule. And Next Thursday, after my day at work, I will go to Montreal at my mother's place to sleep there because the next morning, I have to be at the bus station at 7:00 a.m. to take my bus to Boston and then my plane to... "A lot of fun"

I'll write another post before my departure and since I will bring my MacBook with me on the trip, I'll be able to give you some news while I'll be away. (Not during my trek, of course but before or after from a airport or a guesthouse.)

Good weekend to all of you
