A dichotomy of good and bad
The past week has been very interesting. Both good and bad things have happened, but luckily not in equal amounts!
First of all, last Thursday was my birthday. Spent the whole day with Esther. Since it was raining, her initial plan didn't work out, so she scrambled to get something else up. With me in the dark about any plans, we set off towards Vancouver. Going up Granville Street, we got stuck in this little jam on Granville and 33rd, with lots of cops on bikes blocking off the road. After waiting for 5 minutes, this huge motorcade drove by with lots of unmarked cars and important looking vehicles. Turns out it was the President of Mexico! Probably the closest I will ever get to fame!
We had a quick dinner at Cafe Crepe at 12th, and then made our way to downtown to Yuk Yuk's for an AWESOME night of stand up comedy. It was crude, raw and very politically incorrect... but maybe that's why it was sooooo good! Definitely a visit-again place... I suppose the quality may vary according to the comics present that night, but I wouldn't mind just going to check it out again.
On Saturday we had a dinner thingy at Red Robin with the usual suspects. Had to wait over an hour for a table, apparently none of the places we tried (Feenies and Rugby Club too) was willing to take a reservation for so many people. I got a peppercorn burger and freckled lemonade (delicious!)... with towering onion rings to start with.
After dinner I was pleasantly surprised with a huge ice cream cake! Too bad they didn't have candles, but it was awesome! Also got 2 birthday drinks... a shot of tequila and a Blow Job. Drinking that was pretty insane, got my face all covered in whipped cream while trying to down the shot!
With dinner out of the way, all of us came over to my place to continue the drinking. Some of us were feeling kinda uneasy (our theory is the ice cream cake) in the tummy so we didn't really drink all that much. I took like 5-6 more shots and walked Esther home later. The rest of the guys played poker/PS2 and stuff until 3 or so.
The next morning was crazy, headaches, fever, chills the whole day. Downed some tylenol and it's kinda better but still hanging around as of now... must be the bug going around!
On a shittier note, I lost my car keys! I don't know when I dropped them exactly, but it must have been sometime last night. I can't find my spare key too, so I'll have to visit the dealer tomorrow to get a new key cut and buy a new remote. What a waste of money!
That kind of sums up the week. Found a whole bunch of job listings so applying to those is a priority... Birthday pictures are up already, but I can't find the links yet so it'll have to wait... sorry!
