Well, another Grey Cup weekend has come and gone...
Was supposed to go out with Allie the night before Chris and I left, but she cancelled because she had a midterm Friday morning. So instead, I stayed at work until 9pm (just like every other night it seems), until Corrente swung by the office on her way home, and kidnapped me. We grabbed some Wendy's before I dropped her off at her bf's house, and hurried home to make sure that I got there before Chris did. Allie and I rescheduled for this Thursday (last night), but she cancelled yet again
Seriously, as if having dislocated your shoulder at work the night before is an excuse...
In any event, we had a good chat on the phone, so there's definitely still some chemistry there, and she's decided to make it up to me by taking me to a Flames game next week
She also mentioned wanting to invite me over to her place to play drunken Cranium with her and her friends...I dunno...meeting her friends on a 2nd date? I'm far too antisocial for that kind of thing...oh well, we'll play it by ear I guess...
So Chris came over last Thursday, and we had a few beers and watched Allie G. Woke up at 330am, and left of rthe 'Peg. God I hate that drive. TO make it worse, Gord decided to come with us since his sister lives in Winnipeg, and we were to be staying with her...he insisted on driving at 90-100km/h the whole way. Got into Winnipeg (LATE), grabbed a few local ales and took it easy at my Aunt's house. The next day, I went for a 10km jog to get the lay of the land, then we went out for lunch. We caught the Grey Cup parade later that night, and then walked over to Jeff's place. We ended up sitting around drinking until midnight, and caught up. Lindsay even made a cameo, despite the fact that she's domesticated now (Her and Art officially set a date; February 14 2007 in Vegas...Congrats Lindsay). After I mentioned seeing a strange aura in the bathroom at Jeff's place, Lindsay explained to me how it was "haunted"...house was over 100 years old, and some people had died there in a fire ages ago...after that I made Lindsay go ahead of me and turn on the lights when I needed to go to the bathroom
Whatevs...call it payback for years of me killing spiders for her. We ended up going to some biker bar (the Zoo) where some metal band was playing, and stayed there until 3am. Chris proceeded to get destroyed, which he hadn't been in months (or longer...he is afterall, fully domesticated too now). Got screwed by the cabbie on the way home...he looked surprised when the drunk Calgarian called him on it at 4 in the morning...knew I had him when he offered us "a deal". We then apparently woke everyone up with our drunken antics upon arriving back at my aunt's house (it was ok, they were amused). Nursed our hangovers on Sunday until gametime, and bundled up for an evening outside in Winnipeg in late November. Sat in the temporary endzone bleacher, and were packed in like sardines...there wasn't room to sit with your arms by your side...I was in "seat 8", and there were 11 people packed in to seats 1-7...
Game kinda sucked, and the bastard BC Lions broke the damn cup as soon as they got it (shakes head)...Went out for dinner after and called her a night. Monday was mostly spent recuperating, and trying to get a hold of this super cute girl I met on the internet the week before we left (keep your eyes peeled, she just submitted a set to SG)...we had discussed getting together for some casual fun (discussed rather seriously actually), but I didn't manage to get past her voicemail...she has since appologized, and explained that a whole bunch of factors ended up conspiring against our actually meeting...oh well, we'll keep in touch...I'll be back out in the 'Peg in May for a conference. Guess I should probably cart my ass off to work here...it's allmost 9am and I'm still wearing sweats
