Grindin' away.

Working from home today. Except for my birds, its pretty quiet and i seem to get a lot more done. In other news, in what seems to have become a Canada Day tradition for the past two years, i made my annual pilgrimage up Grouse Mountain on July 1st. I finished it in a record 1hr 56min, my slowest time ever. But that's OK, i had a good excuse :P I redeemed myself and did it again last night in 49 mins thanks to some guy who made a race out of it as we kept passing each other a couple times. I bought a Summit Seeker card this year so i can get my Grind times tracked. I officially reached Kosciuszko status having climbed the equivalent of Mt. Kosciuszko, the highest peak in Australia, which probably doesn't say that much since Australia is considered the flattest continent on Earth.

Today i experienced the worst hangover EVER. I woke up feeling as if someone had chained an anchor to my brain and chucked it over the side of a ship. I was not a happy camper. I got out of bed (actually it was a mattress on a floor in someone elses house), and tried to find a washroom. As I tried to maintain my balance standing at the toilet, i had this feeling of dejavu...as if i had seen this very same toilet the night before, but from a slightly lower vantage point. The tile floor seemed strangely familiar..then it dawned on me that it was one of the last things i saw before i passed out. Hmmpphh...

damn frickin' thieves

So my car got broken into AGAIN a couple nights ago, this time while parked in Surrey. It happened to be the one night where i didn't turn on the alarm. This time around, the bad guy (or girl) took my deck. Ironically, I had been thinking of replacing it, since it doesn't work very well any more. But they took my new jacket too....argghhh. The bad guys could have at least coordinated their efforts.....cuz now i have to make two separate claims for insurance, which means two deductibles. At least this thief was smarter, since they didn't leave behind any fingerprints. Nor they didn't leave as big a mess as the first one. Sigh....
