What Don REALLY Did Last Night

Last Night

Joined some volunteers from the Halberstadt Campaign in delivering the last of our BBQ flyers. Once that was finished I made a trip to Wal-Mart to pick up some BBQ supplies, then home to do some laundry. Janet came over and we watched 40-Year Old Virgin.

Last Night

After work I headed home, had some dinner and watched some television while working on the website. At some point in the evening I was going to start watching a movie but never got around to it. Eventually I went to sleep.

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate. Went with Mar to go get her nose ring changed. I tried helping her with it the night before, but the new ring was a little too curved to get through and i didn't think my pliers were sterile enough to straighten it a bit. When we got home, i mowed the lawn, then folded all my laundry and put it away. Did a little maintenance on my computer, watched some tv (Season primier of Weeds, great show. Also watched, It's always sunny in philidelphia..pretty funny) and went to bed.

Last Night

After work I headed to subway to grab a quick bite to eat before the game. Following dinner it was off to baseball. Our schedule for the games changed slightly upon arrival and we wound up playing one game then breaking for drinks before playing the second. It appeared as though drinking was a key element in our performance as we managed to squeeze out a tie in the last game of the season. After a celebratory round of drinks at Stanely's I headed to Cramdon's for the remainder of the evening.

Last Night...

Went home, bbq'd up some supper. Did a little bit of car maintanence. Made a quick trip to homedepot, worked on a few things around the house. Mar came home and we went to check on her friend's cats. We watched a bit of tv and went to bed.

Last Night

Stopped at Zehrs on the way home, picked up a little sushi for dinner. Went home and ate quickly before heading over to Alan's for some flyer delivering (campaign launch BBQ is Thursday). After a couple hours of that and a short meeting I returned home and read and watched TV before going to sleep.

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate. Went with Mar to the east end walmart, then to staples. Came back home, some adt guy was trying to sell us a home security package for free, he just wanted to look around our home. I told him we'd call instead if we were interested, he kept peering around me into the house, all a little too strange for me to actually let him in the house. Then Mar's friend stopped by for a few minutes to drop off some keys so we could cat sit. I worked out, watched a bit of tv, then went to bed.

Last Night

After work I headed to my sisters house to supervise while some forms were put in. By 6:00 they still hadn't shown up so I decided to take some friends up on their offer to join them for dinner in LaSalle (@ the Mich). After dinner I returned to my sisters place to watch Prison Break. Once that wrapped up I headed home for the evening.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Thursday: Went out to Bell Island for the day. Took a tour of the mine and had Newfie chicken wings (a great option for any of you considering suicide, your heart is liable to quit at any moment).

Friday: Went into St. John's for the day. Wandered and did some shopping in the morning. Had lunch with a friend at the Battery Hotel overlooking St. John's Harbour. Took a tour of the Confederation Building and then went back to a couple shops downtown. Returned to the house for a dinner of cod tongues and mussells. Watched Silent Hill after dinner.

Saturday: Got up early to go fishing. Returned to the house for lunch, then went out to Cape Spear. After dinner we went down to George Street for a few drinks in celebration of Janet's B-Day.

Sunday: Got up bright and early for our flight home. Ended up behind a couple hockey teams in the check in and made it through security with about 10 mins to spare. A friend of mine picked us up at the airport and we had Chinese food for lunch with him before heading back to Windsor. Had dinner with Janet's family before heading home.

The Weekend

Friday night started out with a brief party at Craig's condo (consisting of drinking and trying to get his new MCE 2005 OS running properly). After relaxing a bit we grabbed some McDonalds and headed downtown. We continued the evening roaming from bar to bar getting as many cheap drinks in us as we could. Eventually we all headed back to Craig's to continue the party. We lounged around there and played PS2 for the rest of the night.

Saturday got started later than expected as a result of Friday night... Eventually it brought us all together at Gino's place for a going away party for his sister/birthday party for myself. We discussed heading downtown later in the night but opted to just kind of chill out and relax there for the remainder of the night instead.

Sunday started out with lunch at my Grandma's place and more family birthday fun. Following lunch we all hung around there and watched some golf. We eventually left there to head to the movies (making a brief stop in at Mega Warps for some dinner). We saw Invincible, which as a movie is quite good, but not necessarily my preferred type of movie. After the movie I lounged around my sisters place until heading to Spicoli's for the remainder of the evening.

The Weekend...

Friday: Went home, read, ate. Can't really remember what we did friday night. I think i installed some software on a palm pilot that a friend of my dad game me.

Saturday: Got up early, well a bit before noon, then headed out to the travel agency. We talked with them about a wedding down south. They were very helpfull and gave us a bunch of info to take home and look into. We headed out to essex to billy bostons for derek's suprise bday party. After Derek arrived we passed along our best wishes, and left so all the young people could party. Then we headed to my parents' place to sell them on the southern wedding. Thinking we were aiming for march got blown away when we got home, when we found out Mar's parent's wouldn't be able to get the time off.

Sunday: Got up, got groceries. Went to Mar's sister's place to pick up her nephew. We toted him around while we ran some errands, amused him for a while and brought him back to his mom. We made dinner, had a short visit from some friends, then watched some tv and went to bed.

Last Night

After work I headed to Tutto's restaurant for dinner with friends. Following dinner we ll returned to Brian's to relax. After a few drinks there I headed to the Brick House for the remainder of the evening until eventually heading home.

Last Night...

Went home, ate dinner. Drove over to Mar's parent's place to meet up with her sister's lot and go over to their grandparents at the same time. Visited with her grandparents, showed them the pictures of our vegas trip. Then headed back to her parents place, Mar wanted to spend a bit of time with her aged cat. When we got home i watched the daily show and went to bed. Too bad about Rob Cordrey leaving the show, i wonder what he's going to do now.

Last Night

After work I stuck around and worked for a couple more hours. I then made a trip to the mall and wandered around there for a while. Eventually I headed to Bres & Cues for some dinner and drinks. I eventually returned home, watched a little bit of tv and quickly fell asleep.

Last Night...

Went home, bbq'd up some riblets. Mar and I went for a bike ride. Came home, worked out, watched a bit of How William Shatner Changed the World. Then chatted with Mar watched mythbuster, some daily show and colbert and went to bed.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

Monday: Took a walk around downtown St. John's and had some great sushi for lunch. After that we stopped by a fishing boat belonging to Herb's friend and took a walk up to Fort Amherst. Took a walk along the beach while Herb did some fishing. For dinner we had some halibut provided by Herb's friend. Afterwards we watched Jaws.

Tuesday: Took a drive around the Argentia Loop. Stopped by the Atlantic Treaty spot (which was extremely hard to get to). Tried to pick some mussels, but with no luck. Bought some mussels and cod for dinner.

Wednesday: Got started a little earlier. Took a walk down and then back up Signal Hill and bought some postcards and the requisite tourist tshirt. Returned to the house for a lunch of cod au grautin and scrunchins. After lunch I bought a trout license and joined Herb fishing while Janet and Michelle did some beachcombing. I caught a very small fish that was definitely not a trout. A good-sized salmon mocked us the entire time, as did the osprey who are apparently much better than us at catching fish. Had jig's dinner with Michelle's parents in Carbonear before returning to CBS.

Last Night

After work I headed to Jay's place to pick up my sisters hockey stick. From there I left for the Wrap Shack for dinner and to drop of said hockey stick. Following dinner I killed some time at my sisters place while I waited for the evening plans to come to light. Eventually I headed to the mall for coffee at Moxies followed by drinks at Cramdon's.

Last Night...

Trying to slowly get back into the good old routine. Went home, was out of propane for the bbq, so we got that filled. Then i bbq'd up some shishkibobs. Mar and i talked more about some wedding issues being stressed over. Mar's sister and nephew came over. By the time they left i was exhausted, but stayed up to watch the daily show and fell asleep through a bit of the colbert report, then headed off to bed.

Last Night

After work I made a brief stop off at the mall to catch up with my cousin. From there I headed home, had some dinner, watched some television and did a minimal amount of work on a website I'm putting together.

Last Night...

Went home, ate some supper. Went to zehrs to get some more pictures developped. Then we headed to the mall to get the ring sized as it was a bit too big and Mar was afraid it might fall off her finger sometime. Then we went over to her sister's to drop off her dad's camera and went home. Mar watered her flowers, and after we watched the movie poseidon, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

The Weekend

Friday night from work Derek and I headed to Papa Cheney's to start drinking and grab some dinner. Following that we made our way down to Honest lawyer to meet up with everyone else. We then caught the tunnel bus and headed to the Fox to see Dave Chapelle. The show wrapped up around 1:00 so we missed our shot at grabbing the bus back to Canada. On our quest to find a cab back Derek and I came across a dead racoon on the sidewalk. It appeared he died of either natural causes or a cocaine overdose (results pending). We eventually caught a cab back to Windsor (don't ever cab across the border, it's ridiculously expenseive). Upon returning we wandered the street until eventually settling on Schwarma Palace for a quick bite to eat before heading home for the night.

Saturday started with the softball tournament (bright and early). Eventually it came to light that our last game had been cancelled because the other team didn't show up so I got a jump start on my trip to Hamilton. Upon arrival I checked into the hotel and cleaned up from baseball. Shortly thereafter I headed to Ancaster for the bbque. From there we all headed back to downtown Hamilton to start the party. The party eventually wrapped up and the girls all headed home. Given the days events I was quite tired at that point and I quickly fell asleep.

Sunday was spent roaming around TO with Gino (who had come into town to pick his sister up at the airport later that day). I spent the afternoon driving home to Harrow, having dinner, and going to bed.

Vegas Trip correction..

Ok, we did go to vegas. Had an awesome time. Got engaged to Marlene on the first night there. We went up the half scale replica of the eiffel tower, overlooking the bellagio fountain show, i got down on one knee and proposed. Suprisingly she said yes.

The trip was great, the weather was perfect the entire time. We saw everything we wanted too and a bit more. Although i didn't get around to shooting the machine guns, as i was wiped out by thursday and opted to sit by the pool instead. We took in a cirque de solie show, Mystere, it was impressive, as the theatre was much smaller and we were much closer to the performers then i thought. Also saw the hoover dam and alot of other things. Lost 5lbs from all the walking.

On the weekend back we told all the family about the engagement.

Vegas Trip

At the last minute, we decided not to go to vegas. So i ate a ham sandwich instead.

My Weekend

Friday: Made a frantic attempt to get everything done before leaving for Newfoundland. Results were mixed.

Saturday: Finished off the remaining tasks on my to-do list and went to pick up Janet. Arrived in TO around 4:00, parked the car at her aunt's place and headed to the airport. Took a look at said aunt's pet snakes. That's right, motherfucking snakes in motherfucking acquariums. Janet denied my polite request to bring one on the plane. Began our flight to St. John's, we began our decent...

Sunday: No, no there were no snakes on the plane, it's just as moments before we landed it became Sunday. Herb picked us up at the aiport and brought us to their place in Seal Cove, aka Conception Bay South. We chatted with Herb and his wife Michelle (Janet's friends) then went to bed.

On Sunday morning I managed to sleep in until 9:30 (8:00 EST) while their young kid made lots of noise (we were warned). Got up and had some pancakes, then took a drive into St. John's. Had some fish and chips with gravy and dressing (a stuffing like mixture that's mixed in with the chips).

Following lunch we took a trip around the Irish Loop, stopping at scenic points along the way. We saw a few caribou and Herb reckoned he could have caught us a cod if he'd had his rod with him. We returned here about 6:00 (4:30 EST) and BBQ'd some burgers for dinner. After dinner we watched War of the Worlds and then I decided to take their dial up internet for a test drive (so far, not too bad).

I'll let Janet email her family now and head to bed to read some of the Great American Novel.

Last Night (Don)

Only a few hours left in this stressful vacation. I can't wait to board the plane for a relaxing, uneventful flight back home. If there's one thing I love, it's relaxing, uneventful flights. I'm really glad of the increased security at the airports, because I wouldn't want any kind of creatures being deposited on my mode of transporation. If there's one thing I hate it's motherfuckin' (insert animals) on my motherfuckin' (insert mode of transportation).

*eery, foreshadowing music*

Last Night

After a quick trip to Staples I met up with Janet at Cramdon's for dinner. We took a walk down to Baskin Robbin's for some ice cream, then stopped in at a friend's place to pick up some stuff. After that we went back to my place where I made phone calls and did some campaign stuff while Janet read.

Last Night

After work I headed home to grab a quick bite to eat and then headed to my meeting for 7:00. Following the meeting I headed to Brian's to hang out for a while. From there it was off to the Brick House for the show, some drinks, and a couple apps (I highly recommend the Spinach Dip). Later in the evening I headed home to bed.

Don's Wednesday Night

The Hoff and I went out for a nice little drive today in my Fiero. We happened across a serene little patch of ashphalt in the middle of the desert. I stopped the car looked over at The Hoff. I made a serious face and said, "Yo Hoff, get out." The Hoff looked all surprised and shocked, and he's all like, "What's the deal Don? You just gonna leave out there in the desert all alone with my video camera?" I smile at The Hoff and say, "Hoff, my brother, I've got a little red light running to do." The Hoff, scrunched up his face as if to say "Huh?". I pointed to the side of the road. "Dude, you just go get your leather-jacketed ass out there and get ready to document the most fierawsomest burnout this world has ever known. You just point that video camera at me and when I see that red light come on, ol' D. Armstrong is gonna go." The Hoff went outside and, well, the rest is, as I say, history. The Hoff captured arguably my most triumphant red-light-running Fiero burnout of all time (while in Vegas). I invented the red light on video cameras.

Last Night

Went to my parents for dinner, then met up with Janet at my place. We watched the second half of Total Recall and called it a night.

Last Night

After work I headed home for dinner and to hear all about my parents vacation. They took some amazing pictures of Europe and had a ton of stories to tell. We later had dinner and were presented with our souveniers. Once all of that wrapped up I headed in to meet up with people at Brews & Cues. After a couple of rounds there we moved the party to Spicoli's for a couple hours before calling it a night.

Last Night

After work I headed to my sisters place for dinner (she was picking up steaks). I fired up the grill and returned to the house while it heated up. As I went back out I noticed the knobs were completly engulfed in flames so I returned to the house for some water to extinguish the flames. by the time I made it outside the hose the pumps the propane from the tank into the bbque had detached and converted itself into a flame throwed shooting out a stream of fire. I manuevered my way around the flame and shut off the propane. Shortly thereafter I doused the hose with some water to put out the remaining fire. Needless to say, the steak was not cooked and we wound up at Subway for dinner. After that I headed to baseball. Following baseball I hung around with the team for a bit before eventually returning home to clean up in preparation for my parents return.

Last Night (Don)

While Mar took some more of our spending money to go shopping I stayed behind to figure out a way to pay off our mini-bar tab. Then it dawned on me, Vegas is full of trash, and trash includes cans, which can be sold to a recycling company for cold, hard $!

So, putting on my brown coat for warmth, I went outside and began to pick up empty cans. Surprisingly, Vegas is not covered in trash like I expected, but I did manage to earn almost 67 cents. That's enough to buy me lunch for 3 days, or feed Mar's habit for 3.2 seconds.

At night we hung around the hotel room, Mar had bought a stuffed racoon, a ping pong set, and a SoaP poster so naturally - sexy results.

Last Night

On the way home I stopped by Zehrs and picked up some food, then met Janet and my place for dinner. From there we headed down to Essex for an Ontario PC meeting. After the meeting I raced into Windsor to join the team for baseball. After two humiliating losses I enjoyed a couple beers and a quesedilla before heading home.

Last Night

I got home, took a short nap, made dinner, and then braced myself for making phone calls to strangers. Got through half of the 2003 volunteer list and decided that was enough for one night. Janet came over and we went to Murphy's for a drink.

Last Night (Don)

Well, it's my first night in Vegas (turns out all that other non-sense I wrote about was just a dream). We checked into the hotel, and you know who immediately went for the minibar. You can get surprisingly drunk if you drink a dozen or so of those miniature bottles in rapid succession. I'll probably spend the rest of the week trying to find a way out of paying for them.

Last Night

After work I headed home, lounged around watching tv and trying to find acceptable clipart/graphics for a website I'm working on and thought about what to have for dinner. I eventually settled on Chineese food. After dinner I continued my television watching and went to bed.

Don's Weekend

While we don't actually know what Don did over the weekend, I think it might have gone a little something like this...

Friday: Skipped new employee night due to my immense hatred of most of my co-workers. Instead spent the night at home packing for Vegas and making lunches for the trip. Mar wanted to just eat out, but I laughed, do you know they charge up to $5.95 for a buffet there - and that's just one meal!

Saturday: After arriving at the airport we found out the new security standards are pretty strict. Mar was made to throw out her vodka bottles, I told her she didn't need to bring them in her carry-on, but she insisted. After arriving in Vegas it turned out Mar had the last laugh - 14 cans of Coke do not do well in an unpressurized luggage compartment. After we checked into the hotel we splurged on some fancy grocery store sandwiches for dinner, then hit the casino. I had 3 beers and got pretty wasted, turns out I blew 35 cents on the nickel slots - I could just kill myself.

Sunday: Got up around 5pm after my hangover subsided. I wanted to go shoot a machine gun, but Mar told me that I don't like shooting machine guns, so it would seem kinda silly for me to go do that. Instead we went to the mall, apparently I LOVE shopping... not quite sure how I forgot about that. I ate one of my sandwiches with four cookies and some tap water. I'm done drinking for the week, but Mar is still going strong. Around 4am I carried her up to our hotel room and we called it a night.

Sunday:

Weekend Update

Friday: Went to new employee night at Lily Kazillee's where we somehow managed to lose at volleyball to the accounting team. Hung around for a while after and had another drink before heading home for the night.

Saturday: Went over to Janet's, took a walk down to Zehrs to pick up some BBQ food, came back and ate. Watched an episode of Scrubs before Janet went to work and I headed home. At home I had some dinner and watched Night of the Living Dead, then Janet came over after she fnished work.

Sunday: Did very little all day, did some campaign work, watched TV, went grocery shopping, did some laundry.

The Weekend

Friday night consisted mainly of the trip over to Ford Field to catch the Lion's first preseason game. They managed to pull off a win, but you must bear in mind it's preseason so both teams pretty much let everyone have a shot at their turn on the field. After the game we hung around downtown for a bit and eventually wound up at Jay's for a few drinks.

Saturday was spent lounging around the house not doing a whole lot. The evening was spent at Jay's again for a bbque he decided to throw last minute.

Sunday was spent watching television, doing laundry and working on a bit of website stuff I need to finish up. Later in the evening I headed to Spicoli's for the usual band and weekend-ending get together.

Last Night

I went to the mall to look at watches, but didn't find any I liked on sale, so I'll keep looking. I then picked up a couple of Alan's signs to give to the guy who's doing the campaign website and paid my M/C bill before heading down Murphy's for dinner with some friends. Around 9 Janet and I left Murphy's and returned to my place where I worked on a fundraising letter and Janet watched some kind of CSI rip-off.

Last Night

After work I headed to my sisters house to discuss some website updates for Blackstone. We picked up some dinner and watched some tv before I eventually headed out. After a quick stop at Rock Bottom we continued on to the Brick House for the remainder of the evening. I late headed home, watched some more television and went to sleep.

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate. Decided to skip shoe shopping altogether as i was way too tired and i really do hate shopping. Mar went out with some of her friends, so i stayed home and worked on cleaning up my computer. She came home, we watched a bit of tv and went to bed.

Last Night...

Went home, left with my Mar and my sister to go to costco. Grabbed a bite to eat at mega wraps before we went shopping. Got some pants at costco, then called the parents and headed out to their place. Borrowed some luggage from them and visited for a bit, then headed back home. Worked out, watched some tv and then went to bed.

Last Night

After work I headed home for a dinner meeting to discuss a website I have been requested to piece together. Following the meeting I returned home, cut the grass and lounged around the house until eventually heading to Brews & Cues for a couple of hours. I later returned home and headed to bed.

Last Night

I got a quick haircut after work, then went over to Gateway Park because there was an article in the paper about it last week and Janet and I were thinking about volunteering. As it turns out the claim that the Friends of Gateway Park meet every Wed at 6pm in the parking lot turned out to be a ruse - although there was a nice man there offering us candy and a ride in his van.

After a quick tour of the park we went back to my place for dinner, and then took a walk down to Tim's for coffee. Afte we got back I spent some working on muicipal campaigning while Janet fell asleep on my couch.

Last Night

I headed home after work to change and eat some food before heading to baseball. We put together a good effort and managed a 22-22 tie for the second game. After baseball I had some drinks with the team (not just one courtesy drink, but several, because I genuinely like my team mates) before heading home to meet up with Janet.

Last Night

After work I headed straight to baseball. Following the games I stuck around for a round of drinks with the team and then eventually headed off to Cramdon's. Later in the evening I returned home to watch a little television while I drifted off to sleep.

Last Night...

Went home, read, bbq'd. Mar went for a walk with one of her friends. I stayed home, entered some movies into a movie database program. Mar got back and visited with the girl for a while, giving her a tour of our place, then i walked them back after dark. We watched a bit of tv and went to bed.

The Long Weekend

Friday night I had people over to my place (my parents are out of town so I saw it as a good opportunity to throw an impromptu party). We just lounged around outside on the deck drinking and swapping stories about ramdon events.

Saturday was spent lounging around the house until I eventually got the call to head in to the city to begin the nights festivities. We started out by meeting at Cramdon's and then quickly heading downtown. Our destination for the evening was the Whiskey. Following our night out I made a quick stop at Taco Bell to recharge before the drive back to Harrow.

Sunday I watched the F1 race in the morning. Later in the day I watched the second half of the race that I missed due to falling asleep half way through. Sunday evening was spent at Spicoli's as usual. The turnout was good and fun was had by all.

Monday night was spent hanging around at Cramdon's (which is in the middle of renovating so it has the pleasent aroma of fresh paint).

Long Weekend

Friday: Went over to my parent's place for dinner, BBQ'd some salmon-on-a-plank and scallops. Around 10 Janet and I went downtown to meet up with some friends for a birthday outing. Spend the rest of the night at the Beach (note to self: some 18 year old girls called and they want their hangout back). Finished up with a Falafel at La Shwarma.

Saturday: Cleaned up a bit at home. Did laundry. Went over to Janet's. Watched several episodes of Scrubs.

Sunday: Did some grocery shopping. Bought some socks. Went over to a friend's bbq/keg party.

Monday: Went shopping in the states. Picked up a couple pairs of shorts and a shirt. Got pulled over for a case of beer at customs (fist shaking). Had dinner at Wendy's and went to see Clerks 2.

The Long Weekend...

Friday: Went home, read, ate. We went with Mar's sister, brother-in-law and nephew to amherstburg to get ice cream and walk along the river. After that, we came home, watched a bit of tv and went to bed.

Saturday: Slept in, when i finally did get up, i mowed lawn and weed whacked. Then i put up a shelf in the little shed for our patio cushions, that took a lot longer than i thought it would. Then i bbq'd up some supper. We had Mar's sister's group over again in the evening.

Sunday: Slept in. Got a haircut, then groceries. We went over to Mar's parent's place for a swim and supper.

Monday: Slept in. Put together a dvd rack i bought on sunday. Once again, Mar's sister and nephew came over. We watched a bit of tv, started planning out our itinerary for our trip to vegas.

Last Night

After leaving work I dropped by Memorial Park to scout out an event location. Amazingly I managed to get stuck waiting for a train on Walker on the way there and the way back.

After that I went over to Janet's. We bough some ribs and corn for BBQing. After dinner we watched several episodes of Scrubs.

Last Night...

Went home, read, ate. We headed out shopping again, i haven't bought new clothes in years, now i think i'm almost set again for another 6-7 yrs. Went home, worked out, watched some tv and went to bed.

Last NIght

Had a campaign meeting at Bubbi's with Alan Halberstadt and a couple others. From there I went on to Janet's place because her sister and brother in law were down from Calgary. Hung out with them and had a few beers before calling it a night and heading home.

Last Night...

Went home, read, bbq'd up some supper. Went shopping with Mar. Got home, watched a bit of tv and went to bed.

Last Night

Went home took, took a little nap, then got up and made some dinner. Worked on a Conservative fundraiser and then on some stuff for Alan Halberstadt's campaign*. Was expecting Janet to be done work and to go over there, but she had to stay late. Eventually (after the Daily Show and Colbert Report) I called it a night.

*These two events are merely a coincidence and should not be taken as any indication of Alan's support for the Conservative Party of Canada.

Last Night

After work I headed back to the hotel for an hour or so before eventually meeting up with Jackie and heading out to Mississauga. Upon arriving we watched some tv and ordered some pizza for dinner. Before the pizza arrived Jackie received a phone call of a death in the family so we wound up driving her to Kitchener/Waterloo to meet up with more family on route back to Chatham. I then returned to TO for a short nights sleep.

Last Night...

Went home, got the mail, ate supper. Mar watered her flowers and i kept her company. Then we went through our pictures for the year and picked the ones we wanted, then took out all the red eye. My parents stopped by and dropped off two old school vcrs that we bought from a friend of my dad. Then we watched a bit of tv and headed off to bed.

The Philosophy of Bolging

The bolg has inspired many reactions during it's short time in existence. Chiefly a yawn or a dumbfounded "don't you guys have anything better to do?" But many are fascinated by the fact that somewhere between 2 to 6 people have been motivated to give, with dubious regularlity, detailed accounts of their evenings for almost no reason that are then read by an astoundingly small audience.The amount of effort (as time is the scarcest resource of all) that is put into bolging implies that there is something greater than the bolg itself which is contained within the activity of bolging.

This begs the question what motivates the bolger?It is my proposition that bolging is representive of minimalism (the movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features and core self expression. ) or deconstructionism (which finds concrete experience more valid than abstract ideas and, therefore, refutes any attempts to produce a history, or a truth. In other words, the multiplicities and contingencies of human experience necessarily bring knowledge down to the local and specific level, and challenge the tendency to centralize power through the claims of an ultimate truth which must be accepted or obeyed by all).

In conclusion I would like to point out that his post is an extreme violation of the bolging spirit.

Last Night

After work a few of us went out for drinks at the bar down the street. From there it was off to Mississauga again for dinner with friends. Following dinner we all headed back to Alaina's apartment to watch some television. Eventually I headed back downtown to the hotel and went to sleep while watching a small bit of the Daily Show.

Last Night...

Went home, read. My parents came over, Mar and I went with them to arby's for supper. Then we headed off to costco, figured i'd get some socks since i was down to my last pair without holes. We then came back home, visited for a bit. My parents left, we worked out a bit, watched some tv and went to bed.
