The holidays are over and so is my vacation. It’s been one amazing stretch of laziness, sleeping, reading, cooking, more sleeping and movie watching. Tomorrow I start my new job (working from home) in « d�veloppement », which means that I’ll be working as a writer for a Montreal television and film producer, to develop new tv show ideas. This is a short term contract (6 weeks) which might be extended, depending on how things go and how much work there is to do. For those of you getting too envious of my new job, I do have to specify that the tv show ideas I’ll be working on won’t be mine, at least not in the first part of the contract. I’m a hired writer, which means I get to take other people’s ideas and try to make them sound really good in writing (in French) in order to get broadcasters interested. Eventually, I might get to work on my own ideas. My boss is very open and does welcome other people’s projects.
Tomorrow, Monday, is also the day when I get back into my place, or should I say the green place, after spending the holidays at B’s while my friend and landlady, a San Franciscan who left her heart and her mortgage in Montreal, was staying at my rented condo with her boyfriend for the last ten days. She showed up with a beautiful Powerbook which made me green with envy. Believe me, my face matched the walls of my apartment perfectly.
As if this wasn’t enough, Carl-Fr�d�ric is leaving tomorrow for San Francisco, where he will be attending the Macworld conference, and hanging out in some of the cool spots in town. Hell, he’s so excited, he’s showing off his underwear online! Yes, I am jealous (no, not about the underwear thing), but at least he promised to blog from the conference. And I hear they are getting really bad storms in the Bay Area this winter…
