quick update
loving http://www.viidoo.com - thanks to larrylee69 for that. it's a program that allows you to view tv (NBC, ABC, ESPN, NHL, etc...) on your computer for free. even though the quality's not THAT great, it's not bad. been catching a bunch of hockey games on it =)
i went out to provost last wednesday and thursday which lies pretty much right on the border between AB and SK. it was a 5 hour drive and i stayed in this pretty cheap motel (i refrained from taking a shower that night). i found out some guys from the office in calgary actually made the trip out too so i ended up meeting up with them for a drink after work. i guess i consider myself somewhat sheltered from a lot of what goes on in bars, but man, these guys were DIRTY!! (and not because they were in my hotel!). filthy filthy mouths - i think 3 of the 5 of them were married and still all they talked about was how big the tits on the waiter was and how one of the unmarried guys should drive down to med hat to screw his new girlfriend. not just a 5-10 minute talk but the WHOLE night... not many people know, but i've expressed the desire to my boss to be moved out to the field as soon as possible to get my field experience done and over with (husky wants their engineers to work out in the field for ~2 years before they move back to calgary). i've never really thought it was a big deal as i've already done the 4 month operating in lubicon (up by slave lake) after 1st year, but after my recent trip i'm really starting to reconsider. i realize this is my be an isolated case and i'd probably move to a bigger town (possibly lloydminister) which can offer a lot more diversity, but if it means having to put up with that kind of garbage cuz drinkings the only thing to do out there, i'd seriously have to reconsider
anyways, aside from that, not much else happening:
- went to edmonton last weekend. dez got off call the day of the huge shootings disaster. scary stuff. went to west edmonton mall for the first time in probably 15 years - from a fresh perspective, it's really nice! =)
- hi peggy! alberta's alright. it's taken some readjusting to, but i guess it's home. miss you guys out in TO a lot tho (i'll continue repeating this phrase forever... or until i go back)
- hiding away in my den with the lights off to avoid trick-or-treaters. lol! we've never really given candy out although i don't know why we don't
- completing version 2 of chris and steph's wedding video (i'm making progress!!!). should be done by either tonight or the next few days
- flames suck. i have very little doubt they'll get better as the year progresses, but i'd almost rather watch another team on TV (ie: BUF)
i'm missing photos. that's what i need. i'll see what i can for the next few posts. ciao!
