In terms of apartment hunting, yesterday was kind of a wash. We saw two places, the first of which we sort of knew we wouldn't take unless it really impressed us, and it didn't. The second place was perfect, but someone else had already looked at it, so even though we said we would take it, the other person decided to take it instead. End...

Tonight we ran out and got some sushi, once again from Mikimoto. We got hold of Matt, who agreed to meet us since he couldn't get his laundry done anyway, and we got hold of Robin, who I haven't seen in way too long. After dinner, we went back to her place and hung out for a bit, which was nice. While talking, I got...

This morning, i finally got the wireless network set up (don't look at me like that, the laptops just came in yesterday, and my mother needed a username and password which she couldn't remember to make use of the internet connection), so I'm now on my allegedly portable laptop, getting everything set up the way i like it. I have Trillian functional again, except for...

We got to my parents' house yesterday, so we are now as close to home as we're going to get before actually moving back into New Orleans. I've got a new cell phone, but I'll post the number later. I still don't have our computers, but I emailed the movers about that, and I'll see what they say.
enough for now, bye bye.

I just decided to make a quick update from Tara's uncle's house in San Francisco. We're doing ok, except for some car trouble which kept us for an unplanned night in Seattle (which isn't far from our point of origin, if you recall). Otherwise, we're glad to have some good Thai food instead of burgers, and I'm probably going to sleep early. Until next time,...

Tomorrow night I'm taking down the computers to get them ready to be packed on Wednesday. We've been pretty busy cleaning and packing, so I don't think I'll make another entry before we leave. At this point, we plan to leave Vancouver on Friday, and we'll travel to my parent's house in Louisiana, not far from New Orleans, making a few stops along the way...

I got up fairly early in order to bring the car in for an inspection. It sounds like the Petro-Canada has to order new tires, but if I let them do that, they won't charge me for labor, which I like. I haven't used to the car too much over this last two years because the bus system here generally makes things easier rather than...

Tara reminded me today that we only have about two weeks until we leave. There's nothing especially left undone that can't be done between now and then. We're right on track, but I didn't realize how close it was.

In other news, Ed gave us his old Gamestation, so I guess our slack goes up by 5. I downloaded and burned Castlevania: Symphony of the...

All of my grades are finally in, and I did well in my Nietzsche seminar. Now, I just have to wait for my diploma as far as UBC is concerned.

Tara is making me cupcakes for my birthday. I look forward to them because her cupcakes rox0r. Tomorrow, we'll go to a Thai place in Gastown for dinner, and we'll likely head out to New...

Not much has been going on for the last few days. We finished getting the apartment clean, and someone from the moving company will do a walk-through tomorrow to give us a more accurate estimate of our stuff. The preliminary estimate wasn't too high, and I'm hoping it doesn't climb too much.

In other news, my Viking group got approved, so anyone interested in Vikings...

Well, 4/20 has come and gone. I got a good bit of rest and ending up going to sleep kinda early, likely because I just needed some rest. I slept very soundly, and now feel pretty good. I got an estimate for our moving expenses and it wasn't as high as I was afraid it would be, so that's good. I'm looking forward to the...
