merely talk

It's been while eh? I'd be surprised if anyone is still reading this. I used to have a routine about updating. I'd get up early in the morning, and check my email and favourite websites and then I'd post here. But somewhere along the way that routine was dirupted. Partly because I started to work earlier, but also because I stopped having much to say. This week I've had lots to say. And I've kept meaning to write about it, but since I was writing an essay for my work placement I'd feel guilty if I was typing at the computer, but not typing my essay. So I just stopped.

Anyway.

My favourite aunt was in town during the latter part of the week and I had a super good time with her and my mom and my cousin. We went to this yarn shop on Broadway (the W10th part) that had recently opened and I bought lots of fun yarn and this book. Then I taught myself how to purl. Very exciting. I'm making a funky scarf of my own design to match the new pretty jacket I just bought. So that's fun and a very good way to not write an essay on ethics.

On Saturday night Anna and I headed to the Hollywood for the Napolean Dynamite/Garden State double feature. Please remind me to never go to the Hollywood on a Saturday night. Usually I don't. Monday's the cheap night, but this Monday Anna was working so we decided Saturday was a better choice. But it was so crowded and there were so many stupid, inconsiderate teenagers and children. It was awful. One kid in the front kept flicking his lighter, the entire balcony was comprised of stupid kids who wouldn't shut up (they broke out into a course of Happy Brithday at one point) and some guy sitting near me had brutal bad BO. Fortunately the movies were both so good I forgot about all the stupid people. And most of the teens left after Napolean Dynamite (their loss, Garden State is the better movie).

As Janice posted on her blog, Sunday I took a day trip down to Seattle. I had never been there and I really needed to get out of Vancouver for the day. We had no problem getting over the border and we first headed to Northgate Mall. And they had a Victoria's Secret. Which was awesome. I didn't buy anything though. After the mall we went downtown to this huge Marketplace. It was sort of like Granville Island. There we saw these huge lobster tails, were talking almost a foot here and really think. And these things called Elephant garlic, which is about the size of a baby's head.

We walked around downtown a little, Janice and her brother both bought some cool/pretty things. I saw a few things I liked, but nothing to tempt me to even try on. I was just happy to be there and to see a place which is very much like Vancouver, but at the same time very different. The difference are subtle but they are there.

We got home around six thirty and I got to work on my essay. And I just finished it a few minutes ago and emailed it to the internship coordinator. So that's awesome. I'm so glad it's done and that it's only a few more weeks until my absolutely favourite holiday.


One last thing before I end this post. I've debated all day about putting this up here, but I'm already sick of telling people one by one and it only happened last night. And since I have so many close friends I'd have a lot of people to tell. And This just seems easier this way. So Miah and I broke up last night. It was completely mutual and friendly and un-messy. I'm actually shocked at how smoothly it happened. So yeah. That's that.
