I lost 5 pounds this past week. I think it's from biking to work, work itself, and drinking close to 4 litres of water everyday. Having spent half the week at the civic centre, once i finally went back to work, I am definitely relieved and content with the placement I now have. Civic centre is just like centennial - trimming, weeding, the occasional garbage collection. Plus, I've met some very interesting/amusing characters in and around the building. Ken the gambling janitor is the best so far.
Friday night, our baseball league started, and of course, we were the first team with a double header. I am happy to report that not only did we win both games, but we mercied the other team in the second game. We were eaten alive by mosquitos once the sun went down.. that was annoying. Tegan's dad brought a new bat that we can use for the season.. it's 34", 28oz which is slightly heavier than my bat, but my bat is dead so it's useless anyway. As soon as I took a couple practice swings, i fell in love with the bat. The handle is thinner than the barrel bats and it's top heavy so it picks up quite a bit on the last third of the swing, which is GREAT because the ball just flies off the bat. I immediately started hitting like I used to, instead of the crap I've been putting out there recently. So that felt good and I've committed myself to that bat for the rest of the summer. It's my newest love affair. After the game we went to the goose.. business as usual, except that we discovered that their martinis are GOOD.
Yesterday derek put a dvd player on my computer for $15 but i gave him $20 b/c he said next week he'll put a cd burner in too for free. I am quite happy about this whole turn of events. Although, it means i have to do a bit of rearranging so that I can see my computer AND tv from my bed. I have no couch in my room. I also decided to put up shelves so that I can put my stereo higher up and get the speakers away from my monitor, because that's bad news, and I dont want to have to buy a third monitor. Shelving and rearranging was the plan for yesterday, except that after I made dinner for graham and his friend from brock - nice kid - i ate dinner and then fell asleep at 6 until 11pm..woke up, realized it was 11, and went back to sleep until 9 this morning. What a way to spend a saturday night. I had pulled an allnighter with amanda for fun after the goose on friday, and then i was doing things all day saturday, So, i guess I was tired. But now that I'm all rested, I'm going to bike to blockbuster and return some movies.
