Catching up

Christmas was pretty interesting this year. I went to stay with my family in Vancouver for a few days and I kind of got put in the middle of a bunch of drama that I really didn't want to get involved in. It was the first time I've ever experienced any sort of weird shit around the holidays, and now I know why some people are apprehensive about spending Christmas with family. the major up side was that I got to spend a little time with Teej and co. on the night of the 25th and morning of the 26th. Went for breakfast and record shopping and it was awesome. I love living in Victoria but sometimes I really miss seeing those guys on a more regular basis.

My boss called me yesterday afternoon and told me that not a single piece of freight came over from Vancouver so I could have the rest of the week off. I'm going a little stir crazy from not exercising, but it's nice to be able to chill at home or with friends. Went over to Jesse and Linde's place last night for dinner and then Jess and I came back here, started the second season of Eastbound & Down, watched hip hop videos on youtube and had tat talk and tea. So far so good.

Today I kind of slept in and puttered around the apartment for a bit before heading downtown to hang out with Ken at Street level. Cam and Josh showed up and we ended up going for delicious sandwiches at the Italian Deli and then to the W.I.N. store where I found this cute little fella.

It's an (empty) Avon perfume container from the 70's. It still smells like a lady inside, and not totally rotten like I expected when I opened it up. Not sure what I'll stash inside, but it sure looks cool.
