Bit of a jam-packed weekend! Here’s how it played out:
Friday: Dejan from work called at 4:30. He was already in the pub with Allan, did I want to come, and could I bring the soldering iron that I’m lending Allan that forgotten and left on his desk? Sure - I guess so! Hit the Loose Moose, had a drink, which turned in to 4 by the time people had come and gone and stuff.. Came home ever so slightly buzzed, John came over, we hung out, watched the new Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, easy going laid back chilling - nice, just what I needed!
Saturday: Met Aunty Marj and Paul down at Granville Island for lunch and caught the sun a bit. Bussed it back downtown together, they went off to Gastown, I came home to chill for a bit. Brian swung by and we hung out for a bit. He went off and I went out with Alyson and her friend Nicole. Original plan was Pirates Of The Carribean 2 but it was sold out, so we ended up hitting Sammy J Peppers on Granville Island for a bite to eat then calling it quits. Complete gong show down there, different people hosting and seating inside versus outside on the patio, if you have drinks at the bar while you’re waiting you can’t transfer those to your table bill, all sorts of stupid shit that makes for bad customer service. Meh, whatever..
Sunday: Lazy leisurely start to the day.. made plans to hit Lonsdale Quay for lunch with Shawn and Nolene who’d never been there before (HELLO?!).. Met John on the SkyTrain with timing that couldn’t have been better if we tried. Decent lunch at Lonsdale then back downtown, Shawn went off shopping with Nolene and I hung out with John. Cue bizarre funny conversation about seeing other people which was mostly quite amusing.. especially as this other guy he’s recently met is someone that I’ve chatted to online.. sing along now: “It’s a smalllll world afterrrr alllllll” :-)
Out for dinner with Aunty Marj and Paul at Cactus Club on Broadway, then met up with Brian and went for a walk’n'talk, ended up at mine talking till 1am.. Interesting conversations.. nothing too deep’n'heavy, not one of “those” conversations, just two friends shooting the shit.. mostly.. (sitting here writing this with a wry grin on and the stereo cranked playing a CHOOOOOON at way above recommended decent neighbourly volume levels, laughing to myself with the craziness of life and certain situations, it’s “entertaining” right?)
About time I went to work I reckon.. back for more blogging antics tonight and the much awaited return of the podcast! I know you all missed it big time last week by all the emails and MSNs I got about it.. Laters people - have a good one!
