Bang

What was that sound? Ok, so the first time I heard it, it was a big branch falling onto the Germen's van, but what was it the other times?...the times when the others heard it too. We really don't know. I'm sure the snow caused it. I love snow, and we (Rob, Q, Shea and I) had a small snowball fight which lasted about as long as our hands could stay warm.

There wasn't nice snow until after it was dark.

Tonight many things happe...wtf? There's the sound again! I think that the trees in the front yard are evil and drop large clumps of snow/branches on everything.

Anyways, yeah...many things. For one, Rob and I had troubles watching a movie, as someone locked the last half of the show. Right at the climax, the .avi just ends. We're like..."WHAT?!" Then we see there is another file...a rar...a rar which is password protected...and a large list of things you must do to obtain it. Luckily some other person did these things and then revealed the password on a forum.

We also played Risk tonight and it was a very heated game. I have determined Risk is evil.

Sweet Ammunition

So yesterday was a nice relaxing fun day. I got my passport photo taken at Costco and it seems I am following the strategy of looking too much like a schmuck to be a terrorist.

We had a nice big meal for dinner to actually spawn leftovers (including setting the table and all sitting down around it even though it was just us!).

We played some Bomberman action in the middle of the night. That game is very addicting.

Then it was decided we needed to have some nachos so we had to remove our large stash of candy (brought to us by Nate and Erin) from the pan. Rob decided the best way to do this was to dump the candy on Q's lap. Unfortunately he didn't realize that the candy could act as ammunition, and was forced to use the pan as a shield against flying candy on his way back to the kitchen. While Rob was distracted and trying to pick up a candy with his foot, Q managed to hit him right in the head. Rob stood dazed for a second, apparently tasting blood in his mouth. He then sported a large bump on his forehead.

War zone. Now perhaps I must clean up.

Take flight

So you may notice, if you leave a comment, that I decided to add a word verification thingy to my comments because I've been getting annoying spam. It complements my blog but it is still annoying.

I'm going to FLORIDA! Hehe...as lame as it is, I've never been that far from here. I've never been outside of North America and that's one of the farthest place I can go without leaving. Anyways, it's through work and it's free as I'm going to a conference. The Society for Technology in Anesthesiology annual meeting. Myself and 5 coworkers are going to stay in a vacaction home with a games room and everything. EVERYTHING. Anyways, should be a break in January from the usual drizzle of Vancouver. I just have to get my passport together.

Before that, for New Years, a large group of us are going to Whistler like we did last year. That will also kick ass. Besides being sick, last years trip was a lot of fun and included a meal at the spaghetti factory, a snow fight, and long sauna episodes. Nate and Erin enjoyed it at least as you can see.

Urrghh

...or whatever cavemen say.

So, on Sunday we moved a couple couches from Brad's garage and basement to Rob's room. It was quite the journey for the couches....to the point where it pissed off the Germen downstairs.

Had some problems with physics and sold objects but we eventually got it all sorted out.

Halloween was pretty cool. We handed out some candy to the very few trick or treaters that came by and then managed to eat most of the rest. We headed out to the school around 8:15 and I was surprised to see quite a few people in costume there. Greg went as his default ghostbuster, the costume he made when he was 13.

Wow...so now this post has been sitting open for most of the day as I went to school and then we were attempting to regain the internet (access to it I mean, not rulership of it).

Anyway, I was a caveman and didn't shave for a week in order to pull it off. I looked pretty scruffy for the part and reused my costume from the caveman party I once went to. Alex was some anime character and Brad was Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama in an awesome homemade costume that left him mostly blind. Brad's Tanya was MC Hammer with the shiny pants.

Neither of my roommates came with us to the school, as Rob and Gordo headed off to a bonfire and fireworks (Rob burnt his hand) and Q went downtown to some party dressed as Alice Cooper.

At the party there was a horrible DJ who played crap music that most people hadn't even heard before. Some people told him to play certain songs and he played some of them but then went right back to his crap...not really noticing how everyone stopped dancing when it started.

We only really danced for 4 songs or so but it was fun.

Meanwhile Alex and Greg had disappeared with a couple girls and when Brad talked to them on his cell they said they were off "carving pumpkins".

When we found them up the escalator it turned out there were ACTUALLY really carving pumpkins.
