5 days until freedom!

my apartment is on the left side of the house

that's the place

living space. small, eh?

killer counter space... eh?

hockey history

thousands of fans left before the 4th overtime, but one lanky american stayed the whole time to witness henrik sedin score with less than 2 minutes left in the 7th period, which just happened to be the longest game in nucks history... classic!

where were you sun!?

with the re-emergence of the sun i can start enjoying vancouver again. the big news: i signed a lease on a really nice basement suite. it's a little more expensive, but a good deal compared to my current situation. it is really small, which is great since i don't have/want much furniture. it's located on the east side (my old stomping grounds... by "old" i mean 6 months ago). i have my own little patio and even a place to plant some herbs (my dad would be proud). once i have a couch or a futon i'll be able to host visitors... hint hint. i might even cook you something with fresh herbs. my move in date is april 21st, so i have over a week to move all my stuff, which will make the whole process much more relaxing. i'll post some photos when blogspot stops being lame.

so, i've been cruising around town on my puch magnum. it is definitely the way to go. even though it tops out at 25 mph i'm usually faster than cars since i can use bike lanes and weave around traffic cones. yesterday i started volunteering again at the vancity theatre and i somehow managed to accidently (don't ask) cross all three bridges over false creek on my moped. anyway, the people i volunteer with seem really cool and now i can see lots of free movies.

i've met a few new friends, so now i have someone to go to concerts with and another that i can practice spanish with, excelente! the best news is i'm going to game one against dallas tonight! it is hard not to have the avs in the playoffs, but since they finished strong and the team is young and they resign joey they should do well next year. plus, we can't embarass dallas every year. this year it's the canucks turn.

we miss you forsberg

"It's great to be back [in Colorado]," Forsberg said. "Sometimes you don't know what you have until you leave. We'll see what happens if I continue to play in the future. I've got nothing but good words about this place."

worth a blog entry? probably not

this local news blog "beyond robson" has a little contest to identify an intersection based on a google map. using my intimate knowledge of vancouver geography i won todays contest and the prize was super sweet:



happy easter!
