Yeah, I should be sleeping, but whatever, why acclimatize myself to a lifestyle I'll never be able to maintain. No point in living beyond your means. Anyways, good last couple of days. Went with Sund to Caitlin's potluck, went downtown, saw Chris McKay, lost Sund, watched the fireworks with Adria. Went home on the bike, took only 15 minutes. Today ( Read more... )

Lazy day so far. We'll not speak of the soccer game. I'm heading out to a potluck with Sund and Caitlin Croteau, and from there onto the celebrations downtown. I've been reading, at the behest of my beloved girlfriend, J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan and Wendy" It's fantastic. Here's an excerpt ( Read more... )

Yeah, so a long day today. I got up at 6, and went down to Shoreline to work the polls as a scrutineer. Basically I have 6 lists of declared supporters, each with a number on the voter's list. The District Returning Officers will keep track of who has voted, and we cross-reference our partial lists with theirs. In theory, we're supposed to listen ( Read more... )

Whee, they're going to win! A handy 3-0 drubbing of Denmark, and then off to the semi-finals. I hope Portugal beats the Dutch, I don't know if they can, but I'd prefer the Czechs to play the Portuguese - that group stage game against Holland was a little too close for my liking! I'm a give Heather a call, see what she's up to, then head over to ( Read more... )

Just got home from babysitting, Slumber will be following shortly, so I'll make this quick before she gets here. Day was good, got up, puttered domestically with watering plants and whatnot, laundry. Watched soccer game, talked to sister on phone for a while. She's doing okay, she's alive and she'll make it through by the sounds of things, although ( Read more... )

Gah! My oh-so-perfect course schedule hit an unforseen snag today, as one of my courses, Aboriginal Politics, was cancelled. Alas, the second best course was already full, so after a bit of rearaanging, I now have to be at school at 8:30 am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Ugh. That sucks. Well, whatever, I can sleep when I die of exhaustion, ( Read more... )

Well, I had a mediocre day today. It started off so very well, too. I chatted with Jen until the small hours of the morning, which was definately the high point. Indeed, Jennifer MacNeil is Victoria-bound, rejoice! She'll be back on the 5th or 6th of July. I'm, as I've mentioned before, I'm understandably pleased. And yeah, okay, double-post, but ( Read more... )

Well, a busy day. I went to the Pender Island Ferry, only to receive a delightfully unexpected call from my beloved girlfriend. We chatted for a bit. It turns out she is in fact coming to live in Victoria, arriving arounf the 5th or 6th. Brave thing to do. I'm understandably pleased, and look forward to a summer of... well, bliss, I guess. Other ( Read more... )

Long and toilsome day. Went to work at nine, got home at nine. The high point of the day was stopping at the gas station. I bought washer fluid, put air in my tires, cleaned the windshield and sighed up for petropoints. I splurged on a lottery ticket, and won $2, which I guess is a sign. I should go and win the lottery; as I deserve it less than ( Read more... )

Well, I had a lazy day today. Slept in until 9:30, watched some soccer games, and waited to hear from either Loren or Jen. Neither one phoned. A don't know what Loren's up to, but I imagine that Jen is waiting until Wednesday to come into town so that she can register for courses. That's right, it's course registration this week. After an ( Read more... )
