so I had a dream where I was laughing at some silly thing - a camera taking photos of three old ladies as it is dropped on the ground (don't ask) - and as i was laughing in the dream, I could actually feel myself physically chuckling, and i couldn't stop myself! it was very bizarre... i've never done that before. anyone else have weird dream experiences like that?
maybe i shouldn't have had a peice of toast before bed...










went home last week for 5 days to catch the tail end of my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary celebration, which was lots of fun. saw family I haven't seen in a couple of years, it was especially nice to hang out with my cousins. one night we played pool at Mike's Place, and took over all three (yes 3, that's all of them) pool tables. (and man do I suck!) I even got to go to a belly dancing class with my momma (not so much dancing on my part more like awkward wiggling) ;) went out in the Dad's boat (which used to be my grandpa's) and cruised along the lake (well river acutally) tried to catch chips in our mouths. it was fun.
played alot of this cool game called Blokus, and played frisbee with the brothers . then I got to fly back on thursday, and head to work. Oona picked me up at the airport, and so I had a couple of hours before I had to leave. When I got into my car and went to start it, nothing happened. the brake wouldn't press down, and when I turned the key nothing happened! So basically, i was going to be late for work. I phoned to let them know I'd be late, over and hour because of the stupid bus schedule. So I was sitting there waiting, staring blankly at the clock and cursing myself, when I heard the downstairs neighbours come home. eureka! I thought, I could get a boost. So I go downstairs to ask. (and I might add that they've managed to make it look quite nice down there, way better than me and crystal had it) Rena said no problem, but once we got outside we realized that neither of us had jumper cables... argh! So i was resigning myself back to the bus, but she offered to let me take her car! i just had to put gas in it. and I barely even know her! It was very sweet. I was only 45 minutes late, and the other supervisor didn't have to do overtime. whew!
on sunday, the last night of Folkfest, me and crystal and violet and allen went down to see Ladysmith Black Mombazo, and they were terrific! the ole back was aching with all the standing and neck craning, but they were fun, and the sound was amazing. a good end to folkfest.
Last night, me and Crystal and Tara, made mini pizzas (sooo good!) and watched Bride and Predjudice... my mom asked whether it was and epic. an epic in cheesiness! I think we laughed more from how cheesy it was than the actual intentional funny parts in the movie. But that's not to say it was a bad film. but it was definately no Monsoon Wedding that's for sure. but during the film, someone knocked on the door, and it was our next door neighbour (not the old couple, the others) and he was like "I think our cat is locked in your shed." WHAT??? apparently the cat had snuck in there when crystal was mowing the lawn and hid in the back so she didn't notice when she closed it. the poor thing was in there for almost 2 days! I felt so cruel! but he was very nice about it. just happy to have his cat back.
spent all day downtown today (yuck) went shopping, got the hair cut, wandered for way too long. But I did get a cute black tank top from Jacob. Then I went to Tara's for supper (mmm. burritos!) and we went to the Vic Theater to watch Ladies in Lavender, a very sweet movie. (although Tara was so tired that she fell asleep a couple of times, poor dear)
Now it's bed time. Here's hoping that tomorrow is actually hot and sunny so I can go swimming for the first time this summer!
