well glad to be here...and i hope to be here until mid june baby!

you might dig von's as they have a good selection of wines, a good menu and although not a ton of atmosphere it's very chill and you don't get rushed at all and you can sit by the window.

thre's a place like this in vancouver called the red onion, there's one on 41st in kerrisdale.

congrats as well

haha that's funny. triple OT during breakfast it was a sleepy late one but that goal was worth it all

i know some yummy cream soups but they involve chicken...are you a veggie? asparagus soup does not sound like something i would like.

just had dinner at von's and it was so good! moules et frites and seared ahi nicoise salad. yummmmmmmmm. nice sized plates (i've never gotten so many mussels, we shared) service was also fantastic. btw, my mom told me she went to the urban pear last week with her ladies group. get this: they arranged for this luncheon for all the ladies. so it was $25 flat rate, for which you got a sandwich, small salad and small dessert. that's expensive. anyway she said the food was good. BUT! they had also arranged some sort of deal on the wine so they could each have a glass of wine for $6 instead of whatever it usually is. btw $6 seems normal for a glass to me anyway. but when it came time to serve the wine, the waitress brought it over and USING A SHOTGLASS, precisely measured a few shots (i'm not sure how many, 2 she thinks) into each glass. my mom said that the glass was only 1/4 full of wine. when they asked what was up with that, the waitress said, well since you're getting a special price on the wine, we're only giving you this smaller amount. WTF??! also, then my mother asked for white wine. she then got charged 9.50 for her glass of wine. oh sorry lady but only the red wine was $6 (but we didn't tell you that before). this is about the most anal retentive and cheap maneuver i can think of! esp after charging you 25 for a sandwich. pouring a dozen people's glasses of wine using a shotglass to make sure they only get a 1/4 of a glass? fuck that shit. i'm definitley never going to that place. anyway....hehehe where'd you end up going bradm?

Happy 30th Birthday Sunshine!

mmmm chicken wings.

YAYYYYYYYY!!!

great, only 5 months till rush

i'm surprised no one liked the movie! i laughed throughout and thought it was really good, for what it was (ie. a synopsis of the show)

i liked the movie, but last night was meh, i agree. it's weird how the cameras are normal now.

CJ/DEM did you do a lot of biking there? do you think indonesia would be tough to bike across? in terms of condition of roads, mountains, parts, etc.? i know a dutch dude that did it but he is crazy and biked from holland to australia so his opinions don't really mesh with someone like me! i thought indonesia might be an interesting bike trip for me and V to do sometime, before we get too old

i still don't 'get' wilco and the guy seems like a jerk to me...based on the DVD i watched recently. i did like the wheelchair comment at bluesfest though glad somebody up on stage gave em what for.

neat! borobudur is on my list of places to see, one of the great temple complexes in asia. sounds like a great vacation!
