Wow, 6pm and it’s been a full day. I was actually up at a half decent hour. Well, 10ish. Heck, even made it out of the house by 11:58! Long long day of shopping. And I hate shopping. At least it wasn’t Christmas shopping, which is what I hate most. Maybe one of these years I will actually get my presents in say, November, instead of December 24th 🙂
Friday was yet another (mostly) failed day of company activity. We have had people bitching for a long time now that the weather was too nice to play volleyball inside, and the day we decide to go and play Ultimate or Soccer only 7 people showed up! We played a little, but it really sucked with so few people 🙁 At one point I was trying to do great moves! around Bear and ended up rolling over my ankle, which went pop. Not a good thing I figured, and continued playing. It’s swollen a bit, and wrapped up, but I don’t think I’ll be up for hiking or climbing this awsome weekend 🙁 Walking around shopping kinda sucked too. It feels almost ok, but not quite good enough to run the Sun Run just yet.
I decided to do a bit of shopping around, as I was planning on buying some CDs, and found some interesting things out. The CDs were ones that I had on tape, or should have, but haven’t picked up yet. A few U2, some CCR, and some girl named Nelly F-something-or-other (she sings that “I’m like a Bird” song). Also the movie Dinosaur, which I’ve given up trying to download the DIVX rip with WinMX [archive.org link].
Hopefully this will help some of my fellow abbotsfordians in their
buying decisions*.

This didn’t stop me from completely forgetting to put Zooropa into the pile though 🙁 Bah.
In addition to this shopping and food shopping, I also finally took my bike in for a tune up for the summer and picked up a pair of nice columbia hiking shoes, which will be used for walking/hiking, as using my Running (as in “made for running”) shoes for day to day walking isn’t the best thing for them.
