War of the Worlds disappointment and more Europe Pictures up

ok, so, I went to Wasaga for Canada Day with English and co. and well, they had a very different view than I do about what to do at the beach. I thought we'd swim, and just chill out on the beach, maybe play some ball too. but they did not want to go swimming, nor did they want to even step onto the beach. Instead, we spent the day walking along the strip checking out girls and what not. Which is fine and all, but you can do that anywhere. Hell, we can go to Wild Water Kingdom and do that. Anyways, we didn't really do a whole lot or even get anything accomplished. Oh well...we still had some fun and some laughs, which is always good.

Saturday, I went out with some other Maltoners. Namely Martin, Aura, and Chris. we went to check out War of the Worlds, which by the previews looked amazing. I can only say, that the first 15 minutes of the film wasn't that bad. But every minute from there on was like someone stabbing me in the brain with a fork...a dull fork. The movie is just so terrible. The characters are annoying, the plot doesn't make sense, the ending is anticlimatic, the story isn't believeable....and just a whole slew of things that make this one of the worst movies (if not the worst) that I've seen in 2005. I'm not one to ruin movies, so I won't get into too much detail, but I'll see about creating a little spolier link to express my extreme dislike for this film. I even asked the manager if I could get my money back, but they explained that I couldn't.

After the movie, we headed over to Moxie's and had a late night snack. I got a salmon sandwich and a spinich salad that were damn good. The funniest thing is when Chris tried to order his meal. He has a pretty strict diet and so it was hard to find a meal that could cater to him. The staff was extremely nie and understanding about it though. They did the best they could to accomodate him, and in the end he got some spicey chicken wings, which did him just fine.

Today, Sunday (well, today's technically Monday, but I'm treating it still as Sunday), I went to work out in the morning, came home, and did jackshit. I watched In Good Company again to get rid of any reminince of WOW that was still lodged in my brain. it wasn't good enough. So, I watched Sideways, which is always worth watching, and that did the trick.

I also uploaded some new pictures of my Europe trip that Kishen sent to me. I went through them and just laughed myself silly. I sure do miss it. Can't wait for the next big adventure. The link to all 10 albums can be found at: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=vpy2o97.b0pzf0b&x=1&y=-ms0v25. If you want to see them without having to login, just give me a shout, and I'll send you the other link. I'm just weary of total strangers checking me out w/o me knowing.

Lately I've been eating a lot more salad and fruit. I've usually stayed away from this type of herbivorous behaviour, but recently I'm finding the change enjoyable. I still eat quite a bit of meat, but I compliment the meal with a little side salad which makes me feel good...mentally that is. I don't know if I'm benifitting physically, but mentally, I think I'm healthier.

Canada Day Long weekend

Happy Canada folks!

hit up Lucid for Luca's birthday yesterday. Took a damn long time for me to get in the club with all the confusion. I got there around 10:45, cause I was told it was free before 11 if I printed out the flyer, but you had to have the ACTUAL flyer, so that was a bust. Luckily I got on the guestlist for 50% cover before 11:30. But then I had to wait for Umu and his bro else they'd have to pay the full price. So, I while I wait for them, I give Luca a shout and let him know the deal. He then says that the VIP guestlist he's on get's us in for free before 12. So, I figure I'll just wait for him to get down and get in for free with him. While I wait, I walk around and found some promoters giving away passes to get in for $5 (1/3 cover) before 12. I figure that's a pretty safe backup plan. Umu finally comes at 11:30, and we wait for Luca.

Now, I didn't know, but apparently it was some sort of asian jam last night. haha. Isn't it always? I don't know why I never expect it, but anyways, Umu and his brother weren't sure if they still wanted to go and debated all the way till Luca's arrival. By the time Luca came, it was 10 to 12, so we had just enough time to make it in with his guestlist. BUT.....when he the guy checks the guestlist, he tells us that someone already used his tickets! Cold!!! He wound up getting a ticket, but the rest of us had to pay regluar price, except for me cause I got those passes from the street.

Anyways, we get in around 12, and find out that the ticket only got Luca $5 off! Don't know how that works. I'm thinking it's cause we got in after 12. Cause the guy wanted to charge me $10 (the price after 12 with the pass), but he wound up letting me in for $5 after I talked to him a bit.

Now...Umu. He and his brother finally decide that they'll come in and chill with us for the night. When they decided this, I was at the front of the guestlist line, and they decided to go to the regular line cause it was shorter. I don't know why they didn't just come in with us, but that's besides the point. I waited inside for 10 minutes, and then came back out to see where they were at. I look around, and see that they weren't in the line anymore! So, I decide to just go on in and look for everyone else. It turns out, that after I got in, they closed the regular line, and made everyone go to the guestlist line. Umu said he waited for 30 mins in that line, before getting bored and splitting. I think he wound up meeting up with Jigger and Swastik downtown anyways (for all those who don't know, that's their REAL names....NOT nicknames).

Inside the club, it took me a few mins before I could find anyone. The place was packed! And since i was looking for asians in a sea of asians, it was like a needle in a haystack. Too bad alot of people I know couldn't go. Val's in Africa, Thanuja's still in Europe, Farooq's in Calgary, Keshin left for Cali, and English had to sleep so he can drive us to Wasaga beach today. I don't know how'd they feel about it being an asian night, but I don't care. They wouldn't have known until it was too late! haha.

After wadering around this huge club a bit, I was able to find Fiona, Dave, Hillary and Gerland on the stage, so it was all good. After knowing where they were, I decided to head to the bar to get a drink where I found Luca and his friends getting some shots. I got Luca a birthday Whiskey Sour, got one for myself as well, and went back to the dancefloor where I spent the rest of my night. I actually saw a whole lot of Waterloo students in the place. Saw the Act Sci's in there, as well as some random faces that I recognize. It's interesting cause who knows when and if I'll ever see them again now that we're graduated.

Today, I hit up Wasaga with English, Daz, and a couple of other guys they know. I don't envy English having to drive all that way, but it beats me having to do it! :D I only got 3 hours of sleep though, so I'm really looking forward to sleeping in the car and on the beach! Might play some ball there as well, but hopefully not till much later so that I'm well rested. It's supposed to rain a bit today, so we'll have to cross our fingers that the weather network is wrong.
