This Time I Have A Good Excuse For Not Updating
Collectively, May and June have been pretty much the most intense, busy, nerve-wracking, confusing, and all around crazy period of my life. These are the sorts of things that other people “blog” about these sorts of situations, where my response is mostly to cut off contact with the outside world until everything settles down.
Well, things have mostly settled down.
The big news (that isn’t really news to most anyone reading this but you never know,) is that I’m now a married man. Many of you know that my relationship has been, well, a unique one, and I don’t care to discuss that further here. The important thing is that Mononita Roy is now Mrs. Mononita Roy, married to this goofball right here. The ceremony was held in Mississauga at the Toronto Kalibari, a Hindu temple devoted to the goddess Kali. Arranging everything was pretty stressful, but the ceremony itself was relaxed, involved fancy colorful getups, fire, and you didn’t even have to wear shoes. All in all the coolest wedding I’ve ever been to, if I do say so myself.
On top of that, we are now living in Ottawa, Ontario. Mononita, this very day, has just started work as a resident in the Internal Medicine program at the hospital here. I will be starting a Ph.D. at the University of Ottawa in the fall (doing some RA work in advance this summer.) We are in a nice condo that is virtually next door to the Hospital and a short bus ride to campus. The few weeks have been mostly a mess of moving, obtaining furniture, assembling furniture, trying to straighten out addresses with everything, and trying to get the phone and internet hooked up, which, after several inexplicable delays has finally gotten through as of the other day.
If anyone wants to see photos of the wedding, know our new contact information, or anything like that, send me an email and I’ll decide whether or not to lie to you. I’m not quite so bold as to put that stuff online.
