James and I are cool now. And by ‘cool’ I mean ‘alright’ because this weather does not qualify as ‘cool’ by any stretch of the imagination, unless your idea of a normal temperature is inside a shipping container in Qatar. To make temperature matters worse, I am making split pea soup because I just felt [...]
I spent the day walking around in the sun at the Commercial Drive festival. Called an ambulance for a Brazilian guy who was lying on the ground throwing up, had a lump on his head, and didn’t know what had happened to him. Tried to find a place to get dinner and every restaurant in [...]
Spent the evening at James’ coworker’s house. If you’ve read any of the James Herriot books and you remember the Granville Bennett episodes, you’ll know how I feel about hanging out at R (the coworker’s) house. Regardless of my intentions, I always end up hammered. First we went to Fet’s which ended up terribly. R’s [...]
My pockets are now lined with another $932.68. w00t!

James and I rode our bikes to work today and for the first part we go the same way. At Quebec & 1st I said goodbye to him since he goes straight and I turn left into the old parking lot between 1st and Terminal so I can take the path around Science World. He [...]
I’m not sure what to think about the word ‘hump’. It’s oddly onomatopaeic. Anyway it’s Wednesday and I haven’t updated for a few days. Friday I am attending a funeral in Langley On Saturday I will be riding my bike around Vancouver Watched Contact last night (well 3/4 of it) and I thought it full [...]
I forgot that since James is in Edmonton and his car is chillin’ at the airport, I had to fend for myself getting home from Langley. I’d brought my bike and my laundry, then bought a bunch of yarn and 8 pounds of jeans. Can’t ride back with all that. I found out that I [...]
I’m almost done my Alien Illusion scarf. I got a big big ball of cotton to make dishcloths/facecloths from. And I’ve decided to knit a bag out of jeans. Obviously the bigger the jeans are, the more strips you can cut them into. So I went to Value Village, headed straight for the Fat Guy [...]
Tuesday after work James and I went mountain biking at Burnaby Mountain. We started out on Lower Snake, which is labelled “intermediate” and I was doing okay till I got to a big fat drop. And by “big fat” I mean… ohh… 8 inches? Maybe 10? And it was just after a curve and there [...]
