Update
September 26, 2002
It’s weird. I had written probably five updates since my last update but right before I press publish in blogger, I decide the update is too stupid to be used and delete it. I even wrote the sentence you just read in my last unused update.
Dennis:
keep us updated onto the story of this Leigh Morrow. Sounds mysterious… maybe we’ll get a scoop on some breaking news regarding someone from Hamber. And congrats on your dnab eman.
Justin:
if you’re gonna just lock out topics that don’t agree with you, your forum is going to suck. And you sure get sensitive about that picture.
Michelle:
Hello! Sorry if my hello is 19.5 hours late… I know how it feels to be awake in the wee hours and there’s no one online to talk to.
As Dennis mentioned, the Victoria trip was quite fun. Eri, having slept only two hours the night before, was dragging herself everywhere. Every ten minutes I would ask her, “Are you ok?” and she would say, “Yes, I’m just sleepy”. Even so, we took some pretty cool pictures. The digital ones are in a disk somewhere but there are some ‘real’ pictures on my real camera that need to be developed. I’ll probably use them up in the coming week.
Eri is leaving for Japan tomorrow which marks the last few days I’ll be here in Vancouver. I know I have a million things to do but I just don’t want to do it. I’ll really miss everything here but I look forward to a place that bears no resemblance to anything I’ve accustomed to. I made backups of backups of my contact lists so that I’ll have some email buddies to ground me to my life. I’m bringing a small library of books and mega-collages of photos to remind me of things. And of course I’m bringing my favourite games and my kickass laptop. Forgive me if I don’t update when I get there. I’ll be scrambling around looking for wide bandwidth. So far the most appealing is a wireless connection for 30 bucks a month flat… only thing is it’s a 64kps connection. Doh. ADSL will be way too expensive after factoring in the skyrocket phone bills and the line installation (FUCKING 700 DOLLARS TO CONNECT THE FUCKING LINE + FORTY FOR THE PHONE EACH MONTH + THE ADSL FEE).
I didn’t know it at the time, but Tuesday was my last day of work. I thought I would go to the meeting tomorrow but since I’ll be driving Eri to the airport, I’ll miss it. I’m still going in because I just can’t get myself to sever ties with that damn place.
