My weekend was interesting. On Friday, a friend and I went out for dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant for some pho. We later met up with Stantheclone and a new friend of his for drinks at Acme, a neat little place in Nanaimo. It was good to unwind and hang out with some friends after the preceding week. I went out for coffee with...

!!!!Not sure if it's good or bad, but it's news. My string of travel to Vancouver, Port Alberni and Anacla are all postponed for at least a week. It's good in that I don't have to stress about the travel, but it's bad in that I have to fill that time on my own. I think I'll move some of my work-plan up a bit,...

Dresden Files? what is this? i have not heard of it....
hopefully the massaging goes well, and i'll most likely hunt you down until i get a chance to watch / borrow a certain movie from you, and thusly take the opportunity to interrogate further
PS- i unofficially love Little Britain. hilarious.

And so the long string of travel begins. I'll be headed to Victoria tonight after dinner with friends at an Indian restaurant. On Monday, I'm off to Vancouver, then Port Alberni the next day, and finally Anacla, the main village of my native band on Wednesday. I suspect I'll be a bit haggard by the end of it.

holy crap you're travelling alot! sleep in this weekend! for gods sake man!
best advice? make sure you have something to do. That ferry takes longer than you think. Every single time, it takes longer than you think. and don't eat the food.
PS- so should we start "friending" island people? or should we just make an SG group - "Islanders" so everyone on an island can join?

So there I was about to give my two weeks' notice at The Winery, and right before, my boss approaches apprehensively and starts talking about how sales are down and that they're looking to reduce their labour costs. He mentions something about laying me off if I don't want to move to part-time, and I smile in response. "Well, you know, this works out strangely...

Heading to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria later today to take a gander at the stuff there. Ever since I heard that they have works by Rembrandt, I figured it'd be worth the drive to check out.
The Mongolian bronzework looks like it might be cool, too.
As always, I'll be checking out any IMAX movies that the museum might have too. It's a...

So, my doctor told me that there's nothing wrong with my back in terms of the spine and all its minutiae. Which means it was (and kinda still is) a problem of either muscles and nerves. I figure it's a pinched nerve, and it seems to be getting better. This is good.
I ended up seeing a couple of movies in the intervening time. Children...

So, I went for X-Rays Wednesday night after the snow hit the ground (and stayed there, damn it!). I hope I don't have a herniated disc or anything, though it's doubtful. It doesn't strike me down with intense pain to merely sit up, or walk; let alone go to work and grimace through the tough(er) parts, so I think it's less severe than that.

So, Xmas came early and I headed to the local markets to purchase a few things that I had my eye on. I ended up getting a jacket to replace the Nike one I've been wearing since Secondary School, and two new pairs of pants since most of my old ones are too big for me now ( 
). I also bought a french press...

So, if you haven't heard (and it's likely you haven't), there was a bit of a Wind Storm on the West Coast of British Columbia. The power went out where I work at about 9:30, then the wind pulled a bedroom skylight off of my boss' house at about Noon. It was something, to see thirty meter tall trees bowing and cracking so violently. Gusts...

ROME is mine, at last. It's a truly marvelous series, and I can't wait to get some friends over to watch a few episodes.
Gunslinger Girl is a strange, strange anime series. It's well done, but still somewhat disturbing in places.
Did I mention that I got food poisoning for the first time? They must have had a new person making sushi that day... I...
