A summary of the last week in Me-town
I'm tired and there's the chance that I might still be hung over. I had an open bottle of red wine and I felt that I should do my best to try to finish it off last night. Today I woke up with feelings for drinking water that can not be expressed in words. I drove to work because the act of walking for half an hour was so distressing that I had rather upset Al Gore and pump chemicals into the air.
Drinking at home alone while writing an article for eVent! might be one of the signs of a problem. It might be one of the signs that I shouldn't have woken up at 7:30 the next morning for work
Last week Lydia and I went to Kelowna for our days off. We had fun with my family, both my parents and my extended dance re-mix family as well. I convinced Lydia to go on a jet-ski and we had a general all-round good time. The chance to catch up with Chad and Delme, even if just for a round of mini-golf at Scandia, was enjoyable. Sadly I missed Chris whose going to be in Kelowna this week while I'm in Vancouver. He's also in Vancouver, right as I blog this apparently, but his old college friends are holding most of his attention so it's doubtful I'll hear from him.
When we got back we saw both The Phantom of the Opera at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and the HSBC Celebration of Lights on the last night of the fireworks. I blogged about the fireworks here [mbv] and then here [mbv]. The long and the short of it was though that over 3,000,000 people streamed into the English
Bay area and the cops had to deal with it. There's video that I recorded with my Nokia 6682 phone of the cops plowing through the crowd on bikes trying to get to the scene of a stabbing that had happened about two blocks up from us on the corner of Robson and Denman.
What else has happened since then? I don't know actually. Well okay, I've got a few ideas of what may have gone down based on the black box recorder that I carry strapped to my chest at all times.
Nathan was over one night. We were supposed to go the the B.C. Lions' game but neither of rated our interest in the sport above a 3 out of 10 so instead we went to the HMV and I picked up the first season of The Brak Show on DVD and went back to my apartment to watch that. We realized that it was the first time we'd gotten together in over a month, when he had come over with Krista for my Canada Day gathering.
Lastly I suppose it's worth noting that Lydia and I cooked the other night. Or she cooked while I had to listen to her list off the different cooking tools that I lacked. This ended up as fodder form my next article in eVent! which brings us back to drinking the red wine left over from our cooked dinner late at night while trying to write an article.
Actually where we began was with me hung over blogging about the past week or so. Which is where I am, hung over blogging about the last week in Me-town. Where have you been my tiny little flight simulators?
