Whee - going to NAB in Las Vegas tonight!
|
|
| Happy Easter! |
[08 Apr 2007|05:32pm] |
Joyeux Paques! In Amerika (CA) there is no statutory Good Friday holiday. Boo. In Lima there's a whole week off for Semana Santa. But I got off at 3 pm - yay! If I had the Friday - Monday MTL holiday plan I'd be working all weekend anyway to get ready for NAB so no matter.
Let's go photo post to help catch up on recent events!
I hear it snowed - twice - in Montreal this week. At least it was cloudy here all week(end), so I can post this pic of last weekend's laundry rollerblading extravaganza:
And lo!
Serendipitously, we ran into Michel K and his wife Karen Saturday while vegging out at Real Food Daily in Santa Monica.
And then again on Easter Sunday! Small town.
( Show me more! )

Day Two at new job life. Good dear, good. So little time for FaceBook and LJ. Le sigh. At least I have my very own office now!
We saw Blades of Glory on the weekend and Meet the Robinsons. 3D movie good, Blades, not so much. And there was a secret meeting of secretness that I cannot reveal at this time. Let it be known, however, that I have been called "a bright button" by someone famous. I hope that doesn't give it away to the one person I am trying to hide it from!

| SNN Makes Me CRAZY |
[30 Mar 2007|11:06am] |
Getting into USA is one thing. Getting legal is another.
My lovely American friends tell me that since illegal immigration is so outta hand here, LEGAL immigration is controlled to a T.
I applied for my Social Security Number early Monday morning. No number will be issued until USA checks with Canadia to ensure I am really Shannon Maureen McPhee. No SSN = no Cali driving permit. No permit = no insurance on Vince's car, so no wheels for me. No SSN = no bank account, which means no USA credit card. No credit card and no SSN = no new cell phone. ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
No cell phone, no car, no bank account = crazy Shannie. The best part of not getting the phone was this:
S: But yesterday I talked to your service rep. She said I could get a phone with a Canadian credit card and passport number.
Rep: I'm sorry ma'am, but I need your SSN number.
S: I just moved on Monday. I've applied for a number but it will take two weeks. I can't get an SSN before then.
Rep: Well then, do you have state ID?
S (incredulous): I DON'T HAVE STATE ID CAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN SSN NUMBER BECAUSE I JUST MOVED HERE FROM CANADA.
Rep: Then how about a US passport?
At least I know it will get better. Today we are going to Griffith's Park and maybe to see David Lynch and will watch Blades of Glory or Meet the Robinsons or both. AND I am currently addicted to Jerhico.

I MADE IT IN!
WOO HOO!!! Happy times. Today is social insurance, bank account, driver's licence day. It seems odd that I will do my test in a Mercedes. This place is crazy. Good home for a bunny!
So now I have succumbed to the million facebook requests and gotten on there too. I wonder about the sustainability of two sites.

| Two Days to Departure |
[22 Mar 2007|05:48pm] |

I went to the land border for trial one of the TN visa. Of course the application didn't meet their needs. So it's fix-up crunch time before Saturday's departure. Good times!

| Moving, Round One |
[21 Mar 2007|10:07am] |
Last week we moved from the 10 Duke building back to 90 Queen. It was round one in moving for me! This Saturday is the big show. So things have been busy lately.
Today is Laurent's B-day! We're having a birthday/sayonara party at Caro's place tonight.

Cruising on quizgalazy.com, I checked what Shannon would be defined as in a dictonary: "Similar in likeness to a Kangaroo." Hopping around a lot, a menace to farmers, carrying around a kid named "Joey" in a pouch? Why not?
Shannon McPhee: "One who falls into an outhouse and dies." Gah. Good thing I got away from the east coast of Canadia.
Which in turn prompted me to check "Shannon Brisebois" reconsidering if I should change my name once married after all. Lady B = "One who is good at making ravioli".
Since I haven't quite got the knack for pasta, I'd better avoid those crecent-mooned doors in the backyard. City life it is for me!

| To Lurk or Not to Lurk |
[03 Mar 2007|10:05pm] |
Hey LJ buddies, I'm just wondering if political lurkers ever post anonymously in yer blog, cowering behind anonymity instead of engaging in dialogue?
(Note - scattered worldwide friend lurkers - I LOVE YOU!)]
Hope things don't get wierd, I would hate to have to disable anonymous posting for all my non-LJ friends. :(

I need to update but really need some time away from a computer. I was in Toronto yesterday for some meetings and saw Morgan, Mia and Kelly! Good times. Pics to come. In the meantime, I reccomend Porter Airlines if you need to fly between the Toronto-Ottawa-MTL triangle. They make it glam to travel again!
Back in MTL today and crazy crazy crazy getting ready for the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) in San Francisco next week. Wheee! And a blizzard on the way!

| Fun party! |

Leo and I are loving the good times. Me more than Leo I think.
I didn't take enough pictures. ( But I did take some. )

| Busy Week |
[11 Feb 2007|04:20pm] |
I haven't been posting while out here but that doesn't mean things haven't been busy. In fact, that usually means the opposite.
#1. I GOT ENGAGED! Holy crapola!
I've had some big smile photos in my life but that one might just be the smiliest. And I love that flash diamond glitter on our sunglasses
He asked while we were walking around the Venice canals. I had no idea.
( And some other stuff happened too. )
I am posting in a gala gown, waiting to go to the Visual Effects Society awards over in H'wood. Love the blogging diva! More champagne, please. Vueve Cliquot! Vueve Cliquot!

| Fly Away Again |
[05 Feb 2007|11:58am] |
No surprise, as I was getting ready to fly back to LA on Saturday morning, we got another snowstorm. Laurent and I went for a walk in the snow.
( More pics )

It's after 4pm on Friday so I'm drinking wine at work. There was no Stella beer today so wine it is. And I'm drinking it out of an Alias glass! Vince hates Monkeys and Maya wine.
I am so going to this:
If you're in Montreal, feel free to join!
Off to La La Land tomorrow.

Wheeeeeeeeeeee! My Ubisoft pal Cedric kept his promise and sent me the bunnies! I am in rabbid heaven!

| Sunday Brunch |
[28 Jan 2007|05:21pm] |
Today we were all going to Cafe Republique for brunch to celebrate Angela's birthday... and then Angela cancelled! So sad. Caro, Luc, Laurent and I still made a date of it though. Out of the house in the -20 C weather by 10 am Sunday morning means that someone is going to serve me coffee!
Les filles
Les gars
And this one just cause it's cute. It's so blue that it looks like a Montreal winter shot, but this was taken under the San Fran bridge on the way from San Fran to LA with Vince.
