Been enjoying the short BBC tv adaptation of "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency."
Sad stuff spoilered.

There's been a bunch of bad news in my family lately, my grandfather's dementia has been increasing steadily, he's losing bigger and bigger blocks of time to hallucination and memory loss. Other times he's ok.
My stepfather was also recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.. they're not sure if he has one of the kinds that's treatable or not yet at this point.
It's all very difficult on my mother, who's also sick, to have the load of taking care of so many other sick people (sister, stepfather, both grandparents). So it's been a fairly emotional time regarding that.
In personal news, I'm really enjoying being back at Telus, which I wasn't totally sure I would be. The money's decent and will be improving, the work itself has been fairly enjoyable. Since I have a tech background I hope to post good numbers / attitudes move up the payscale for the time being.
As usually I've been immersing myself in my usual bevy of books, I returned two yesterday to the library and left with 8, not to mention the books I've bought recently as well. I do enjoy reading, it definitely does soothe me.
I'm tired of dating, but much like food in the past, I just can't seem to help myself. Shouldn't too be too hard to find a beautiful punky women who likes tango and adventure, with the personality of a pirate and the reading proclivities of Borges should it? Anyways..
On the food front things have been well, the paleo regimen has been going along excellently, it's time to put the exercise into high gear soon. Esp. considering how many health problems there have been in my family lately, I'm more concerned than ever about getting into excellent shape. I've lost 7 kgs so far, but it hasn't been going down further lately, so I need to cut down on the eating out and exercise more often.
I've purchased a badass pair of roller skates. Soon you'll be seeing me on the streets of Montreal terrorizing the night with a disco ball helmet.
That is all for now.
