wise or not, i think this was the right move. perhaps it's a bit premature to be saying that. you know, before i see the doctorbs and find a job and all the rest of that. either way though, i've been happier and more comfortable in the last week than i had been for a while in vancouver. not that there was anything in particular making me unhappy in ( Read more... )

so it's my last night in town. the truck is packed. the couch is my bed tonight. it's funny though.. this ugly yellow sectional is the same ugly yellow sectional i couchsurfed on when i first moved out to vancouver. this couch has seen more owners than most of us will own couches. now its being passed on to the three aussies taking over this suite ( Read more... )

T-minus 77 hours 53 minutes. I'm getting nervous. Been smoking like a chimney. Packing is coming along, though more slowly than I'm comfortable with. Spending one last day out tomorrow. Driving with the roommate out to chilliwack and back. Partly to see how the truck will do with the highway but mostly to show adrian the area. He leaves for toronto ( Read more... )

this whole bp oil spill in the gulf has got me thinking about something that the tories have talking about for the last few years: developing the arctic. at first it was just about getting our navy up there to "protect our sovereignty" from russians, danes and americans who sent vessels into our waters without permission. then the harper gov't ( Read more... )

well.. it's sort of officially official. i'm moving back to winnipeg at the end of may. a number of reasons floated through my brain as i considered the idea but really it comes down to 'just because'. it feels like time. it's going to be hard to leave but i'm excited for the move. i'm hoping to have some sort of gathering before the move. probably ( Read more... )

this month has certainly been an experience. surgery on the 11th left me more or less immobile for a couple of weeks. the pain and sensitivity are just now getting to “i can leave the house” levels. apologies to anyone who called or text messaged or whatever and never got a response. i got a bit sucked into my little world of painkillers and ( Read more... )

i'm a terrible livejournaler. i busted up my kneecap nicely on the 3rd. was turning too wide, too fast. clipped a curb and my knee connected with a concrete driveway. it was relatively painless to be perfectly honest. i hardly touched the T3s they gave me. apparently the fracture ran vertically and so the muscles surrounding my knee kept it ( Read more... )

Most of you already know this but I'm just throwin this out there in case. Amber's moving out for April 1st and I need someone to take her place. I just spent way to long typing out a wall of text for Craigslist so if you're interested or know someone who might be, check this out:

If you're ever in NYC and looking for a bite and a brew in the day or a rowdy party at night, check out Point Break. It's a funky little surf-themed bar with Das Boot, The Wheel of Shots, Beer Pong and a booking station slash wall of shame for people who get a bit too fucked up. Music is a pretty chill rock/pop mix. The Stones just played; Time ( Read more... )

So I'm going to save the year in review for later, mostly so I don't have to type it all out on my phones keyboard ( Read more... )
