post game post

well...we're almost done at the salt mine and will all be going our separate ways until the next dig. it's been a long show so i think a break will be nice.
i'll be off to wyoming to see zach and julie, then further on to toronto to see bill and then...well, at some point i'll be boarding a plane and then....in the end, lambchop. pretty cool.
in the meantime, after friday, i think i'll be mr. handyman at garvie's and my place. maybe a trip to trader joe's. possibly some daytime hockey. bomber and cowboy hockey. maybe some late night tv and hanging out at my gym down the hall.
some visits to issy's to take more stuff out of her basement. more getting shit done outside of work.
nice.
tonight was hockey night with corie, the garbs and 'he who can not be named on the blog'...canucks vs. oilers. and for once it was a game that was pretty good. fun to watch. sadly ending in a shootout. (the shootout and four on four overtime has singlehandedly ruined professional hockey for me...oh, and guys making millions and not giv'ner anymore....) it was good to hang out with them guys. tacos beforehand, the garbs and corie keeping pace with the brew, me and 'he who can not...' watching in amazement...ice cream bars between the second and third period. good stuff.


the other day i saw this. and i felt, for once, slightly ahead of thew curve...only slightly. back when i lived up on west 5th ave - with brent and dave, i made a couple car models. but i decided, mainly because i was a bad painter, that i would make my models look like beaters. now they sell them in kits, beater car kits. i love it. i gave mine cracked windows, shitty paint, etc. now they do a lot of it for you. good times.
have fun tomorrow.
