There are few very exciting events coming up for me! In just two weeks I'm going into Calgary with Melissa for Jesse's birthday. It happens to fall on St Patrick's Day, which allows me to justify massive amounts of green alcohol consumption. Hey, I'm part Irish.
Then, at the end of March/beginning of April, I am getting a bunch of dental work done. Which is exciting, but also stressful. Especially with the attached bill. Seriously, should have been a dentist...
Immediately followed by a trip to Echo Lake to visit Jason and Calee... *Hopefully* the dental surgery won't leave me in rough shape. Whether it does or not, I *will* be having a good time in Montana. There's just simply no way I'll waste a trip to paradise.
Can you believe I've actually planned that far ahead? That's like... two months!
I finally broke down today and submitted for a new phone for work. I've had this one since I started this job in 2006. In the meantime, all of my colleagues have upgraded multiple times.
I think I'm due.
The phone thinks it is, too. It has started dying recently. Just... shutting off for no reason. And, randomly freezing up.
I'll miss you, old friend.
My mom is coming over tonight to watch a movie on my huge home theatre screen. I just recently upgraded to a high-def projector, and am using my PS3 to watch Blu-ray. It's freakin sweet.
And, Transformers is her favorite movie. Just happens to be the first high def movie I bought. :)
The difference is noticeable - enough to make it worth it. Especially for video games. I just rented Resistance 2, which is one of the highest rated video games ever created (one of only 4 games to ever receive a 10/10 rating on gamespot). I am PUMPED to play. Get ready for some serious digital carnage.
I totally lost my keys in an acre of snow. I dive bombed a picnic table with snow on it two feet tall. Halfway back up the hill, I realized my keys were gone. And thinking back, I couldn't remember when I did have them. So... we started looking.
I was optomistic about the whole thing. Even though I realized the chances of me finding my keys were slim to none. Melissa and Dad both told me there was no way I'd ever find them, and we started thinking about a Plan B.
But, I ninja'd those keys back into my pocket.
Essentially: I rock.
Have you ever been driving through the mountains on your way to your parents' cabin in Montana, when your back wheels hydroplane on slush and your car swings around and you get buried in a 3 foot snow bank, while saying aloud, "We're okay, we're okay", and simultaneously thinking, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit"?
I have.
On a related note: snow removal services in Medicine Hat suck. I could probably get the streets clean faster with a toothbrush and some salty toothpaste. Also, all aforementioned service employees apparently took 3 weeks off for Christmas. Gary AND Jack off.
