epic weekend #1

so, a week ago we had a long weekend.
and i had a rad long weekend.
first rad weekend in a long time and im still super stoked about it!

but first, i was made RFT last week!
well, technically, it started this week, but now im permanent!
this means that i dont have to stress about contracts running out and needing to find a new job before i have enough money to do certain things.
like move.
talk about a stress relief!
we went for lunch to celebrate, and manu ordered me a double hendricks and tonic.
for lunch!
yikes..

manu and i

friday was our last beer and cake at the downtown location for our office.
beer and cheer happens every friday. we have free beer and cheesecake.
until it all runs out.
so it was a big party, being the last one and all.

adam and i

miss amie!
pterodactyls!!

janna and i and a tribble!

afterwards, i went out for some kareoke with some of the audio peeps.
no need to explain there. kareoke always rules.


saturday was just pure epic.
8 hours in a theatre watching star trek related things.
i heart star trek. hard.
more than star wars. there, i said it.
we watched animated episodes, rap battles and poetry.
then wrath of khan (second trek movie) and THEN the new one.
it was so great.
awesome day!
and i spent it with my good friend nicole.
we even decided on our friendship tattoos, which i will post about later cause i need some thoughts.
saturday night janine came over and we went for pizza.
sunday i woke up and went for a walk to safeway for some groceries.
after that i called my friend terry, and we went for a bike ride.
i sold my bmx cruiser last year, so i got to ride terrys small bmx.
we went down to kits beach and sat in the grass and watched the wierdos.
then went for some food and home.

kits beach

terry!

back at his house, i borrowed his laptop and found this beauty almost right away.


got ahold of my friend simon to come look at it, and after a quick check, it was mine!
joy of joys!!
that night was pretty chill, but that was okay because monday was a holiday!

monday i slept in some, and then simon called and said that he had picked up my bike from the girl that was selling it.
he's been so great!
i went and met him at the shop, which is close to my house, and we got to work.
he would tell me what to do, and let me do it, so i get to work on my bike as well as have it fixed properly!
we tore apart the carburetor and cleaned it out, and took off the chain.
couldnt put it back together as i needed to order a part, so that was it for the day.

and all of this with the fact that i was cat sitting, so i didnt have to be at home! so rad!
well, monday i had to go back to my house, but whatever.
it was a nice quiet week with two kitties to boot!
