Connecting (blog entry) Well, the undersea cables are repaired, and I found a VPN that wasn't blocked here, so I'm back :)

Lebanese Flower restaurant
( local favorites » restaurants ) "Great food at amazing prices" The Lebanese flower is something of an institution in Abu Dhabi, with 3 locations. Incredibly cheap, amazing food, and shisha if you are so inclined. They're affiliated with a bakery that makes the most amazing cheese bread on the planet.

Catch up (blog entry) Sorry...still seem to be an off-again, on-again tribester.

about me
I was born in Canada and lived most of my life there before moving to Florida for work. I currently live in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I used to think I was going to have a performing arts career but I ended up being a librarian instead! Doesn't stop me from being involved in the arts in my extracurricular life though.

This weekend had a change of pace as I went with a friend to Al Ain's annual Aerobatic Show.  It was pretty fun and well organized most likely because it was not run by local outfits.  It was really hot out and I got a bit of a sunburned neck despite wearing my sunhat.  I should have brought sunscreen.   Darcy stayed home and baked yummy biscotti.  It's warmed up the last few days which hopefully

The winter break continues at my work but I've made some progress with getting projects done.  The weather has been beautiful (for me at least).  Day time highs are in the low to mid 20s celcius or about 75 farenheit.  Nights are a bit chilly and I had to wear a windbreaker once.  But it's so nice to be able to open the windows and not!  I just finished reading a book and have moved onto

The Israeli/Gaza conflict has obviously dominated headlines here and it really made its presence known here this weekend.  Shopping malls had large donation drop offs for goods, a 7 hour television telethon raised 86 million U.S. dollars and large, peaceful demonstrations took place in four emirates.  We watched the 4,000 person rally that started close to our apartment on Saturday.

Darcy and I had an enjoyable New Year's Eve by going to two parties that night.  They were withing walking distance so it was very convenient.  It was nice to visit some people that we hadn't seen in a while.  Darcy cooked a wonderful dinner on New Year's Day as we had company that night.  We've been spoiled with having many days off over the last month so it will be tough to get back into the

I am spending a lot of time at work right now on web development--who knew I would become a librarian for this?--but I'm having a really good time with it. I love hand-coding, and I get a rush when things validate and work out exactly how they are supposed to. Geeky, I know, but what can you do but accept it? I am learning a LOT of funky CSS tricks and I'm in the process of redoing my per... read more

Sorry...still seem to be an off-again, on-again tribester.

We had a pretty good Christmas. Kind of strange celebrating it in a country where the majority of people don't, but then my family's traditions have always been of the hole-up-at-home-and-spend-time-together variety so in some ways this year was not so different after all. Apart from friends' parties and get-togethers we holed up at home, ate turkey, mandarins and other Christmas goodies, opened presents, relaxed, and listened to... read more

Well, we are finally hosting our housewarming party this weekend, which has touched off a flurry of shopping and errands to try to get the place ready! I have been completely burnt out on home shopping...partly because we had to do it all at once, and partly because I could NEVER find ANYTHING that wasn't COMPLETELY ugly. Fortunately, after a 2 or 3 month haitus, there are FINALLY some nicer things in the stores. So we actually have things like cushions on our couches. I can hardly stand ... read more

...to all my tribe cohorts.

Not many Hallowe'en related activities here, of course, which is strange...though hey, I am seeing Christmas decorations in all the stores as of a few days ago. Weird.

Hope the coming year is healthy and happy for you all!
