that ring of confidence

No postage

I know I haven't blogged for a bit. I'm going to try to get back in the saddle soon.

Merry Christmas

It's cold and snowy, but then again it's meant to be that way for Christmas. I mean if there wasn't going to be snow we might as well have gone to San Diego.

Have a happy and safe day.

Having a sushi craving

The last few days I've really been craving some sushi. There's always Toshi's at 16th and Main Street, but I need to find some superior sushi downtown Vancouver. Any suggestions?

How to start a game of RISK

I've been playing a knock-off of RISK on my iPhone. The trouble is it doesn't allow you to pick your own countries so any sort of starting planning is right out the window. Then again when Lydia and I played it at her co-worker Micah's place that's how they did it.

Granted it shaves like an hour off the game, but it seriously cramped my style (I won anyway).

When you play RISK how do you start?

Tiny Tony Stark says, "Work harder."

At least that's what he seems to be saying to me. The thing is he just keeps showing up in my microwave and demanding I fix the economy.

If I don't he says he'll hit me with his chest mounted uni-beam. So I'm either going to have to avoid using the kitchen, or bail-out Wall Street.

Wendy's for lunch it is.

Oh yeah, by the way That One won

By the time I was done work on Tuesday the American Presidential Election had already been called, and Obama had won. Nathan came over, and Lydia roasted some chestnuts and we watched the coverage of the victory.

Though as a Canadian I didn't get a vote, and really did not have a horse in the race, as it where, but I was certainly pulling for Obama.

Locals

It's official, nobody who lives in Vancouver is actually from Vancouver. I'm currently in my technical editing course and half the class is from Ontario and more students are from South Africa than Vancouver.

Ask around, you'll see I'm right. Does everyone born in Vancouver move to the US or Ontario?
