1500...

the queen smoking out in the deck.

had a dream the other night that i was out somewhere, i dunno where, but i was with someone, don't know who, but we ran into donald judd...yup, right there, he was there and we, well i, was talking to him...and then shortly after that - at least it seemed like a short time later in the dream (and i'm not a guy who remembers anything - gemerally - from dreams) i was in a store on hastings street across from propellor and my phone rang and it was pam, from propellor....and i told her i was gonna be right over - and i remember looking out the door of the store i was in and looking across the street towards propellor, and that was it. pam and donald judd. same dream. i remember nothing else.
i do rememeber the queen coming over the other night to watch the canucks lose, yet, another game...so great. and in overtime. and not only that, overtime, short-handed after a suspect penalty call. even better. we ate hot dogs and the when the time came, the queen made her way out to the deck and hacked a butt...not a lot of smoking going on here anymore, except when the queen comes over. the garbs also made his way over once he found out we were having dogs and scrafed down a couple his own self. nice to see both those kids...speaking of kids, i'm going to attempt a roast of some sort next week and i think shauna and ang are gonna come over and try some of my home cookin'.
oh..and speakin' of home cookin'...the other day my pal aimee and i went for lunch to nick's spagetti house on commercial drive...i believe i went there for my 16th birthday, and it was wicked...i have only been there a handful of times in my lifetime but i love it (sure, it's not fancy or anything but i still love it...)...eric and i went there a while ago for lunch and wondered why, afterwards, why we didn't go more often...i had been craving lasagna lately and made my way through a plate of it there and had a huge smile afterwards like i had just eaten at in-n-out...really. aimee was craving steak and had the steak and spagetti. while we were walking there she casually mentioned, which seems to be her way, that she was pregnant, so her craving steak didn't seem that odd after that info...we ate like champs...
oh, and speaking of eating like champs...last night as we were dining at topanga, i ran into bubbles (al) and his all-around fabulous babe and loyal blog reader, erin, as they were about to sit down with some friends there for a fine burrito or two...very nice to see them. i mentioned to erin that she was part of ...well, a story, that i can't repeat here, and she liked that she had been a part of it...erin and al recently bought a fixer-upper and i just wanna say to them, good luck and if you need help give me a call...i know a few things and i also know a few good handymen...even better.
ok...i'm off to pick-up my new imac as fed/ex had trouble delivering here and it's now at their depot in burnaby...wicked.

i love you.
