Regina
So I have been in Regina for a couple weeks now.
It has been great. Hanging out with my dad a lot cause he is home doing his contract stuff and looking for work and I am home doing my research stuff. So that has been pretty awesome. I love hanging out with my dad. We drove up to Estevan to see my grams on tuesday. When my dad had left the dairy queen in weyburn, and with two dq dipped cones (mark of a true gentleman), he said to me "the decorations in there are the best I have seen in a restaurant." This puts them far ahead of java express in the south end of Regina. My dad told the owner/manager type woman that he liked the flower arrangement, but neglected to mention that all the pink didn't match. He didn't see the point in bringing that up. What a guy.
Tuesdays trip to Estevan was supposed to take place on Mon. The trip was postponed because both lara and the harv finished university on monday. Pretty fucking sweet. Though they were not as stoked on being done as I was. I don't really understand this, as they both worked a lot harder than I did. The day I finished my undergrad was the happiest I have ever been in my life. I went to the owl, the campus bar, had a pint at 11:00am, my friend Evan walked in and said "you look really happy" and I replied "that is because I am" - true story. Lara and the Harv were stoked to be done but they weren't as overjoyed as I was.
We celebrated their completion of degrees by going to the Ol Bodizzle. Imagine that. I kept it pretty low key but the pair of them got lit up like a christmas tree. Though not enough to want to go to Sparky's for a post last call pizza pie, which though I can't remember for certain I guaranfuckingtee is what I did after I went out and got immaculate after I finished my degree. Their friend Dusitn bought a bunch of the tables drinks, which was really nice. He was a lovely fellow. I am sure I will see him around.
Well I have been here many of my budgees have been out of commision. Leie and Laine have both been fucking sick as hell, which is rough as all get out. hamers is going through his worst school crisis yet, and trust me, that is saying a lot. Brette the Pistol is sidelined by school stuff, as is pretty much everyone else I know, including the delios. We have been able to hang out, but much of this time has been devoted to digital camera flashes, and I like new myspace pictures as much as the next individual but good lord. You know things have gone to far when they are shaking the camera, for effect, after the picture, apparently shaking the polaroid was so 2004, now its camera shakin or bust. Everyone I know pretty much is done with this school shit tommorow, and even derek is finished on monday, so things should pick up.
The first night i got into town I ran into christian by shear fluke and that was awesome. I also hung out with lil corby gurskey and lee boyes, both of whom i actually get to see as they are not in school. Christian and amber get here tommorow, I think tara got back today, adrian is here. Tons of people are coming back and as such the next three weeks are going to be deadly.
So obviously I am super stoked to be back. This is probably the last time I will get to come back for a month cause after I am done my m.a. I am going to have to get a proper job, or at least string together a bunch of disparate part time research contracts, and that won't allow for extended trips home. Apparently you can go home again, if you have a flexible schedule, and you refuse to leave.
