Up and down weekend that went something like this:

Friday: Went to the gym after work, came home, scrubbed up, and went to the Loose Moose. Antoine and Bertrand turned up shortly after and everyone had a much needed beer. Food followed, along with more company - Antoine’s current + ex room mates, plus a few of their friends. Dancing was debated then the time ticked on and we decided we were best off just staying there and drinking more. Sauntered home in the wee hours (notice I said sauntered not staggered - I was buzzed but not wasted), and that was that - pretty good night out. Antoine’s ex room mate Janet is a cool chick - dead funny.. we talent spotted together and discussed who was hottest on Grey’s Anatomy (cos she works in a hospital) (clearly George is the hottest!).

Saturday: Woke up early and felt ever so slightly rough.. no major hangover, more tired than anything else.. mooched around for a bit, chatted for a bit, did a ton of laundry. Went to Lonsdale Quay for lunch (”it was very nice”) then came back downtown. Bit more chilling then I went to the movies with Kira to see Inside Man. Pretty good film, I’d give it 8 out of 10. Good performances from Clive Owen and Jodie Foster, Denzel Washington played a character similar to the one he’s played in so many films before.. Good entertainment though, a few clever twists in there, definitely worth a look :-)

Sunday: Woke up early again and wasn’t too impressed by it. Dozed and snoozed for a bit.. got up.. tuned in to Radio 1 expecting to hear the chart show but found Dance Anthems on instead. Apparently the UK put their clocks forward this weekend. I guess ours do it soon then? Hmm.. It was also Mother’s Day in the UK.. oops - clearly I’ve been out of the UK loop for a few weeks.. oh well.. my brother sorted Mum out with a vase, I’ll do something in May when we celebrate it in North America.. she wins! Not every mum has 2 Mother’s Days right? (yeah right Paul, keep telling yourself that!)

Went to Granville Island for lunch.. mostly managed to dodge the rain showers.. came back downtown and went to BC Place to see Shanelle who was working. Wow, that place is huge.. and I just realised I forgot to mention it in my podcast.. or did I? hmm.. not sure now.. DOH! Came home and did my taxes.. result! All done and I’m a few thousand dollars poorer.. that’s the price of being self-employed last year I guess.. still, it’s fine - I had enough saved to cover it. Was going to hang out with Brian and watch Sopranos and Prison Break but he was sick, had skipped work, so we rescheduled for Monday. Tim came round and we watched Big Trouble In Little China. Total 80’s cheesy porn movie but kinda good for entertainment. And that’s that, my weekend in a nutshell!
