Today I went to the Canucks Superskills competition at GM Place with my best friend. It was a lot of fun! I'd always heard about this, but had never gone before. The tickets were a great price, and we had fabulous seats close to the ice. It was a fun, laid back afternoon watching some of my favourite hockey players demonstrate their skills.

Well, nobody won the cash yesterday. Starting at 8am Pacific time this morning, the DJ's are gonna take call after call until someone wins the $100,000.

For those that would be interested, they do stream the station live, and you can hear it at www.z95.com. I have my morning meeting until 8:30, so I'm really hoping that nobody will have figured it out by then. Wish me luck!

By the way, this is the MySpace site of the DJ I mentioned - he'll probably...

So there's this radio station in my city that's playing a contest right now, and it's driving me and many other people nuts. They do this contest once a year where they play a sound effect, and you have to call in and guess what the sound is. If you get it right, you win the money, you no guessy right, $500 gets added to the pot.

Now, normally it takes a couple days at most for someone to guess what the sound effect is, and then the DJ's bring on a new sound. However - this certain...

Today has been crazy so far.

I had an interview this morning for a new position at my company. I think it went well. I'm really a bad judge of how well or how poorly those go, but I'm fairly confident. I was myself, and tried to answer all the questions intelligently and whatever. So I'm definitely very hopeful about that. This is a position I really want, and am so excited about. It sounds so amazing, and like something I'd be fabulous at. I'm not going to write much more...

Today I was cleaning up some papers at work, and finally found the list of U2 music / videos, etc. that I thought I had lost. This list was of files I had on my old computer, but didn't manage to convert to my new computer before the old laptop kicked the bucket.

I know I could post this in the appropriate forum, but I feel a little weird asking for SO many things. So that's why it's here. If you have any of these items, and would be willing to send them my way, I'd be very...

Last weekend I went to Seattle to visit my old roomie. Driving down was such a bitch. It was so obviously Friday the 13th, it made me laugh. There were accidents and cops everywhere! Total gong show. It took me about 3 ½ hours, when normally it is just over 2 hours. Ah well. I guess that’s to be expected on a Friday night. Thankfully E had a couple of beers ready and waiting. Mmm. We ended up talking for several hours, then watched a movie while getting drunk and eating cookies....

Well, this weekend royally sucked.

The only good part was a wedding I went to on Saturday morning. Yes - Saturday morning. At 11:30am. Weird time, but it was a beautiful wedding. Very creative and touching. These were two of my friends from university, and it was great to see them get married.

I got stood up for every single other fucking plan I had with friends this weekend, so I was pretty pissed off. Nobody returned my call, sent me a text, or even an email...

Scoliosis (according to Wikipedia): A condition that involves complex lateral and rotational curvature and deformity of the spine. It is typically classified as congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth), idiopathic (sub-classified as infantile, juvenile, adolescent or adult according to when onset occurred) or as having developed as a secondary symptom of another condition, such as cerebral palsy or spinal muscular atrophy.

I've been diagnosed with scoliosis. I've...

Last night was a fun Mexican party at a friend's house. We had margaritas and tacos to eat! We dressed up in tacky clothes and played several very amusing games. There were about 20 of us there, and it was a lot of fun.

Talked with my parents this afternoon, and found out that there's going to be MORE people in Hawaii with us over Christmas! This is going to be so awesome! It was going to be the four of us along with my grandma at first. Now one of my aunts...

Last weekend my family and I celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving. My parents are going on a vacation, and will be gone that day, so we had our big celebration last weekend. It was wonderful. The weather was gorgeous!

My mom and I went on a hike to a place called Salmon Rock. It's one of the most beautiful spots on the island. These are a few of the pics I took there.

This week I've been sick. Every year around the end of September or beginning of October, I get really sick. I've been at home all week so far, and it's driving me crazy! I get really restless when there's nothing to do. The house is clean, all my laundry is done, and there's literally nothing to do. I'm bored of all my DVD's, and daytime TV sucks ass.

I picked up my copy of U2 by U2 yesterday, so that should relieve my boredom for a while! I've enjoyed reading a little bit...

I'm making a reading list for my vacation, and am trying to find some good books to read. I'd be interested in hearing what you're reading, or what you think is fabulous.

I'll read pretty much anything, but I am very partial to history. I'm not looking for incredibly long or thick books, since I have to fit them all in one relatively small suitcase along with my clothes, etc.

This is really early to start thinking about this, since my vacation isn't until December,...

A few friends and I had dinner and watched this last night.



Too funny!

Yesterday was my friend Susie's birthday, so we took her out for a night on the town. For some reason all my pictures turned out a bit blurry, but it makes them look kinda cool.

At the Cactus Club for dinner. We got free dessert because the service had been so slow.

Even though I hit the snooze button several times this morning, and was running around like a crazed person because I was running late, today has been awesome so far! I'm not a morning person at all, and am normally bitchy and moody for several hours, but today is much different.

The sunrise this morning was so beautiful. The sun was this beautiful, bright orange colour. Wow!

The first thing I do in the mornings is check my email, and there was an email about hockey...
