If I was still in the UK, I’d still be in bed right now - they have a LONG long weekend: Friday off because it’s Good Friday, then Monday off because it’s a Bank Holiday, created because Easter Sunday is.. well.. a Sunday.. and most people wouldn’t be working anyway? And while some places in Canada recognise the Monday as holiday too, in lieu of Easter Sunday, sadly my work doesn’t.. so hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go.. but not before I blog a quick update of my long weekend..

It was long. It flew by. It’s over now.

Oh? Not quite that quick I hear you say? More details? Oh, go on then! :-p

Thursday: Let the long weekend start! Fuck, it seems like so long ago now.. I’m trying to remember if I did anything after work before coming home.. Did I go to the gym? Or was that Wednesday? *shrugs* clueless! Think it was just a total chill night.. caught up on TV from earlier in the week, chatted online a bit, watched more TV, then stayed up late chatting it up some more..

Friday: Got up late.. like noonish.. and had a total veg/chill day.. 5pm and I was still there in boxers and a t-shirt, pissing around online, reading stuff, chatting, trying to decide which LCD monitor I want to get (still none the wiser!). Brian phoned and I decided it was time to get presentable. Jumped in the shower, went out and about but everywhere I wanted to go was shut cos it’s a holiday. Ended up in the Keg, opting for chicken fajitas instead of steak.. we sat in the bar/lounge area and it was all good until the obnoxious family from hell came and sat at the table 2 along from us. Honestly, BZZZZT, some people have no idea how to behave or how to control their kids when they’re out in a public place. Some people should also not be allowed to have children, period. These were those people - clearly unaware of the social pecking order and their place. Sure, I’m sounding like a snobby cunt right now but it really did put a damper on what would otherwise have been a really nice meal. If I said “lower class”, would I be harsh? Hmm.. debateable :-s

Back to mine, watched an episode of The Sopranos, Brian went home, I watched a bit more TV, vegged’n'chilled, and stayed up late chatting away on MSN. Again.

Saturday: Got up late.. like around noon.. noticing a pattern here yet? Pottered around and did bits and pieces.. had a shower, scrubbed up, went over to Daniel’s. Wow - nice place much? Out in New West, near the SkyTrain, brand new building (so new it still smells new when you walk in the lobby!). Really nice place too - split level 1 bedroom unit, double high in the lounge area, big contrete wall “feature”, gas fireplace, wooden trim all over the place, oh yeah - my kinda place! Totally cool time hanging out too, we had a laugh :-)

Came back downtown, hit Chapters, bought a magazine, came home via the IGA and chucked a pizza in the oven - STARVING! Brian came over for the second taped episode of The Sopranos, so we’re all up to date now. Gotta say, neither episode was particularly fantastic.. Entertaining, sure, but also kinda sporadic and random. He went home, I vegged and chilled, chatted it up some more, and had - yes, you guessed it - another late night!

Sunday: Got up at a semi-reasonable hour, having woken up earlier than maybe I’d have liked.. phoned home, chatted about nice new apartments in New West which whipped my parents in to a frenzy of “Oh yes, you should do that, yes, definitely, it’s about time you bought somewhere, yes, why not do that then” etc etc.. LOL it’s all right and valid etc.. just not something I’m quite ready to do right now this instant (or this side of the summer.. probably..)

The weather was shite and it was a total stay at home day. I didn’t leave the house. I didn’t shave. I didn’t shower. I DID have a bath, around 10:30 last night, then hit the sack around 11, feeling really wiped. Nothing better than having a bath then climbing in to a freshly made clean sheets bed - BLISS! That didn’t stop me waking up at the arse crack of dawn though and tossing and turning restlessly for a few hours before getting up around 7ish.. grrrr..

And here we are - Monday morning - bright and breezy! I’m gonna go have a much needed shave then shower and get my ass in to work for another fun packed day of “entertainment” :-)
