At Rachie's Part Deux

Hey, been at Rachel's house in Dundas since Friday morning, staying til Tuesday night when we'll be takin' the greyhound home together. Here is the lowdown:

On Friday we mostly stuck around at the house then went to a sweet bubble tea cafe called QQ that everyone should go to if they are in Dundas. It's really that good. On Saturday we also mostly stayed at the house and hung out with some of Rachel's quite good friends. Sunday was the family day at Rachel's grandparents' place in Oakville. Well, let me just say that the way to my heart is ribs and imported beer, and guess what we had for dinner! LOL! Very good ribs and some obscure (at least in Canada) British beer. And wine, lots of wine. Nothing says family gathering like a bottle of wine for every 3 people! Today we went out shopping for some electronic joyfulness. Rach got a couple movies, I pulled some stuff I've been looking for... all at the right price too! Here is my list:

CDs:

Counting Crows- Hard Candy
Depeche Mode- The Singles 86>98
Galactic Cowboys- The Horse That Bud Bought
Galactic Cowboys- Let It Go (been looking for this one for about 6 years now!)

DVDs

Beavis and Butt-head: The Mike Judge Collection Volume 1 (Now I have all the box sets, you know what that means! B&B Marathon party!!!)
Napoleon Dynamite (Had to pick it up eventually!)

Tonight and tomorrow will be spent with Misty as she'll be going back to Germany soon. Right now Rach is watching a movie and I'm typing this and listening to some tunes, but we have to go do the dishes soon, so I'll be off. See you all later!

the summer

I AM NOW DONE ALL SESSAYS!!!!!!!

Therefore, time to make a summer reading and etc. list:

to read:

Dennis Lee, yesno

That's all!

General updatezing

Argh. Hey everyone... One last essay and then freedom for a while... planning on going to Rachel's for Easter but they scheduled me at work for 3-11 on Saturday even though I requested it off over 5 weeks ago so I need to sort that out so that I can go.

Rachel's birthday surprise went quite well, Misty and Andy showed up a bit lated but that's to be expected when someone's on a plane! They came to church with us and after to Rachel's choir performance which was great! On Sunday I also picked up Beavis and Butt-head: The Mike Judge Collection Volume 2 so now I only need volume 1 and I'll have all the B&B available on dvd. (Thanks Steve for the special edition of the movie!)

Dennis Lee is coming to Peterborough on Wednesday! He'll be reading at Cervantes Restaurant (across from The Only Cafe) at 7:00pm. You should come because he's great!

Well, nothing substantial really, have a good day!
