Give Me Back My Five Bucks

So, originally BF was going to drive me and my friend to Bellingham to catch our plane to Las Vegas in November. As it turns out, he’s going kayaking for the weekend instead. This little snag is going to be kind of a costly one. It will cost $70 to bring a car across each way (because I don’t have a car, my friend will have to bring hers), so $140 round trip. Plus gas and parking at the airport. This option will probably cost $115 for each of us. The other option is to take a bus down to … Continue reading →

Well, I leave for Ontario tomorrow night. I’ll be seeing my best friend from high school (although I just saw her 2 weeks ago), and my very best friend from when I went to college. I haven’t seen him in 4 years, since my last visit out east. And it’s at times like this, where I’m revisiting people from my past, that I take the time to reflect. Time is just flying by. This whole year has gone by so quickly, but the past few months especially. It’s weird seeing my friends grow up, get married, have babies, and settle … Continue reading →

Well, this weekend I was supposed to be moving into my new apartment, but the landlord called me Saturday evening to say that the woman who had already moved out didn’t meet him as planned to do the final inspection and hand over her keys. And when he tried to call her number, it was disconnected. So, unfortunately I probably won’t get to move until the end of this month, since legally she has paid until the end of the month. It’s a bit annoying because all of my stuff is in boxes, BF had borrowed the van, and I … Continue reading →

I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had a chance to update this blog as regularly as I have been. This weekend I’m going to spend the majority of my time packing. BF has to work on Saturday, so I’ll spend all day putting my stuff into boxes, and he said he’d try to borrow a truck so that we can start to move my stuff over on Sunday. I’ve moved my internet/cable over as of Sept 27th. Also, I should mention that I purchased Bob Dylan tickets for Oct 24th at GM Place. I’m a huge Dylan fan. When … Continue reading →

I just booked my hotel accommodation while in Toronto. After an internet discount, it was $109. I tried the normal places like the Days Inn ($129 through Expedia) and even the Hostel ($90 for a private room), but I thought I might as well stay at a nicer hotel for the same price – that is within walking distance of everything I’ll need.
