I was at Pharaoh's (as usual) on Friday for my friend Craig's 23rd birthday. It was a great evening with great music, well except for that moment when they played remixes of Sexy Back and Maneater (I knew you wouldn't like that Sami and Mike). Our party had a little over 30 people. I bought Craig a couple of Kokanee's. They did manage to play ( Read more... )

Well, Karly and I have a hotel booked for August 22nd in Moorhead, Minnesota. We're leaving Tuesday morning August 22 and leaving Friday evening August 25. We got the best deal at a Travelodge that we stayed at before. It was the cheapest of the hotels we were considering at $58.50 US a night. With taxes, we're paying about $192. This hotel ( Read more... )

Today I stopped at BJ Super Toys and I picked up a 6 inch Winnipeg Jets collectable figure (goalie Nikolai Khabibulin to be exact). I'm a big hockey fan! These figures are part of the McFarlane's Sports Picks collection. The founder Todd McFarlane is also the creator of Spawn. This is the only place that I found the Khabibulin figure in the ( Read more... )

I went to the Millenium Library with two other staff and 18 children for their field trip. Boy those kids are sure rowdy little buggers! I constantly hear whining and crying and running around the library like chickens with their heads cut off. Needless to say, I had to lay down the law and told them to sit quietly and that nobody will be ( Read more... )

Friday night at Pharaoh's was not just I.V.F. night (International Vinyl Friday). It was also the night when they were hyping up the premiere of Madonna's new CD entitled Confessions On A Dance Floor. The CD will be released Tuesday November 15th. Oh, and here's a pic of the CD

I went to the new 24 hour Shopper's Drug Mart at the corner of McPhillips and Redwood to do some early Christmas shopping. About a half hour later I ended up buying all this ( Read more... )

I got to Pharaoh's on Friday night around 12:15 a.m. The manager saw me and said, "It's okay, you're a good man. No cover charge for you, bud!" Sweet. I meet up with my friends at one section of the club and low and behold, they were playing NHL 06 for XBOX on one of the big screens. I managed to sneak a game in beating my friend 6-2. He ( Read more... )

Well, I stopped by W.K. Chan and my friend Quincy that works there helped me find something for Karly for Christmas. Coming out of the jewelry store, this meant that this was the BIG, Main Event, Coup de Gras present. I bought a 14 karat white gold necklace with a small diamond and an amethyst (her birthstone). It cost me $249. But I didn't ( Read more... )

I was shopping at St. Vital Centre with my girlfriend on Thursday and we passed by W.K. Chan Jewelers. All of a sudden I hear one of the jewelers say, "Hey, Cliff!" It was the girl that I saw week after week at Pharaoh's on Friday nights. All of a sudden it clicked in. It was my friend Quincy from high school. She's three years younger than me ( Read more... )
