Puppy love is no joke
Admittedly, I've always been a cat person. That's why, even though it's been years I've been itching for a pup, I relinquished knowing my lifestyle was not cut out for such a commitment. It's been a year now that I've been working from a home office; Not only would it be fun to have a pal there, but what better opportunity will I have to train a puppy?
Besides, I could use an offline walk once or twice a day too.
The decision wasn't taken lightly, and even though it's only been a week, and he snores, I'm totally in love.
So here he is, 3 months, 10 lbs and uncountable cuddles, my little schnauzer, Russell.
Fun with little people

My 15 Minutes of Twitter Fame
It's no secret I'm a big Habs fan and yesterday I tweeted something about the NHL's decision not to suspend or fine Chara. I'm no way shape or form taking a whole lot of credit here. I saw a picture, I read an article, and believed them to be completely contradictory... I never could have guessed what would happen next.
The push notification on my iphone is a simple and smooth "ding"... within moments of my tweet, it sounded more like a broken ringer on a rotary phone, and it went on for hours. In fact it wasn't long before the battery was completely drained.
Turns out, it was such a popular tweet, it made it to Twitter's homepage as a "Top Tweet", it was also the Top Tweet for Habs, Bruins, NHL and Chara which were all trending topics. At one point, my Twitter handle @ggiiaa was even trending at #2 in Canada!
For the next 6 hours, retweets continued en masse, even into the night and still I'm getting retweeted today, 24 hrs later (so much for realtime). Totally ridiculous. It just goes to show just how much people believe that Twitter can give them a voice (there is now an official investigation into the matter) oh and of course, how much Habs fans love their Montreal Canadiens.
Anyway, here's me on Twitter's homepage. Sorry, just couldn't resist!
