Let’s waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.
I say goddamn!
What a couple of weeks.
Canada Day was spent with Chris, Murf and Ryan. Defining moment was watching the fireworks from Ocean Towers, and suddenly everyone on the balconies bursts out with O Canada and Happy Birthday. Very surreal.
Oh and Chris won a golf bag. Like what the fuck?
Last week was taken up almost exclusively by the Dragonboat Festival. Too much work, not enough fun. I did watch the Shuttle launch, live on my computer, which was pretty sweet. What struck me is how precise everything is. Obviously it has to be, because they’re going into space and all that jazz, but the timing and precision is so impressive. And yet there’s such a human aspect to the whole thing too. I watched the live NASA cam for almost 4 hours and you could feel the tension as everyone hoped the shuttle wouldn’t become a tragic July 4th firework.
Dragonboat was on Saturday and our team did well and the whole thing raised more cash than last year.
Afterwards, I was pretty useless. Chris and I went out for beers and I was a dehydrated cheap drunk. Went back to Chris and Ryan’s and almost passed out. But wait! It’s 1am and we’re on the road to Prospect to watch a movie with some girl. Craziness. Got home at like 3:30am.
Then last night, went to see The Pirates of the Carribean movie. The showing we wanted to see was sold out, so we got tickets for one an hour later, than we killed some time and ended up at the back of a huge line to get seats.
The movie was decent, the ending an obvious ploy for the next one. I think the whole thing was just that much better because we had literally the best seats in the house. While everyone else is fighting and figuring to grab seats or save seats, we got the couch.
If you haven’t been to some Empire Theatres lately, there’s this red and white leather Coca-Cola couch dead centre in selected theatres. It’s the VIP couch and you can dish some cash out and rent it for a movie.
Unhappy with the seating arrangement, we did just that. For an extra 5$, we out-smarted about 200 people.
All in a days work.
Don’t forget the BBQ action at Kimmay and Vincey’s!
Oh and the Sunday night when we went to Peel Pub/Palace?
Not a good time once I reached home.
I forgot about the Liquid Cocaine shot that we all did thanks to Vince’s stoopid friend. Beer+wine+ice cream+ super strong palace drinks+shot= ugh!
But they played return of the Mack!
