now i have to name my posts?

got the ol date working.  no idea why it never did before but whatever!

yesterday i slept til 4 pm as i was awake til 7 am.  not nice.
but we got outside yesterday, walked to the shop, and then i went for a bit of shopping.
i think the walk did me good.  i was able to sleep last night around 2 am, and now im awake at 930 am!
and the sun is out!

time to get up, get moving, figure out my fancy new camera a bit and maybe take it out on a walk today!

dave was here

well, dave just gave me another one of his visits, and i actually got to hang out with him alot this time!

i met up with dave and nicole thursday night for some drinks and food.
deandra and melissa met us there as well.
after that dave and i came back to my house where we proceeded to drink gin and watch highlander. (dont even get me started on that one..)

friday was a mega long day at work, and i definately dont need to talk about that.

saturday i got up and met dave downtown.
and here is our day!

we were taken in by the call for all you can eat
possibly one of the worse sushi meals ive had
nice looking place though..

dave ate hardboiled eggs, covered with sausage meat,
and then deep fried
it was actually pretty tasty.

vancouver

Decided to take some pictures walking home yesterday. I do this walk alot, but have never taken pics. I'll miss my walk. I should get my butt out of bed in the morning and do it more often.

I walk over the Cambie bridge there and back. This is the view east off of it.









A closer view of the science centre. So much fun!









I love these little ferries that take you across False Creek to wherever you need to go. My Mom loves them too.









And who doesnt love watching the dog park?












View West.









Looking South from the middle












And back North again.












Once I cross the bridge I go up this side street to avoid the noise of the traffic.












Some graffiti along the way.









Loads of beautiful tree lined streets as I make my way up the hills through the residential parts.












I love this bike decoration. There are little white christmas lights all over it. This street is actually quite amazing at night.









More gorgeous tree lined streets.












Finally, my street. And my building on the very right hand side of the shot.









There's my house! top floor. And yes, my christmas lights are up year round. I even turn them on randomly. Like, maybe tomorrow night. (I'll get a shot if you ask nicely)
