I forgot about this game! Been playing it non stop for hours lately! i took a screen shot ha!

okay. don't know whats going on, but my computer isn't letting me post pictures right now. i'm going to wait it out and try later. !

Let's start with the bad news. The Vancouver Canucks are out of the semi-playoffs. I think everyone agrees with me when I say ... "&^%@&!!!!" :) It's a let down, but they did their best. I think so anyway. The final game was intense to say the least. The final score being Black Hawks 7, Canucks 5. Boo-urns Vancouver! At least there's next year right?

The good news, I spent my entire day roaming around downtown Vancouver today. The weather over the past couple of days has been rainy and cold, as was this morning. But by noon, the skies were sunshiny and warm. My friend Kelsey and I drove down, parked the car, and took to the streets. Vancouver's a busy place! People everywhere! People with their DOGS everywhere. We went to a few shops, got some starbucks, sat on a small cafe's patio for some lunch, chilled on the beach, and walked the seawall a bit. Let's just say, there was a lot of walking. We met up with some more friends for a greek dinner, where I got a delicious seafood pasta made with a rose sause. I had some left over, and just finished it now. It was mm mm goood! Then we got some more starbucks and sat outside on their patio on English Bay watching the sun retreat behind the mountains. I picked up a sweet Jack Skellington nightlight. I don't need one, but it was sweet none the less. It's plugged in in the hallway. :P

Sorry it's been a few days since my last blog. My weekends are nasty right now. Like I've previously stated, I'm closing the place down Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night. It's pretty tedius and exhausting, but alright money so I'm sucking it up. I still can't get onto my desktop computer and I'm afraid of the ammount of money I'm going to need to spend to fix the thing. Still looking for someone who wants to buy/give me a mac though. So if you're reading this, and are feeling generous ;) :P I'm only kidding.. but seriously. E-mail me. :)

Here are some iPhone pictures I snapped today.

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm exhausted and not very happy right now! I just spent the past 8 hours trying to fix my desktop computer. I guess it got a pretty vicious spyware virus and it just started really messing up on me. It will only run for about 2 minutes before everything locks up and freezes. I can move the mouse around, but I can't do ANYTHING, not even Ctrl Alt Delete. NOTHING! I was finally able to download a new Norton, free for 30 days, and it didn't really do anything. People were giving me suggestions for spyware programs to get, but the virus had gotten so deep I couldn't install anything new. I probably restarted the computer over 30 times. And by that, I mean holding down the power button for 6 seconds on the tower. In and out of safemode, unplugging and plugging in the LAN cable. I was able to delete a few things and finally get a good spyware program downloaded. It was able to scan and found 10 viruses and over 480 (!!!) INFECTED FILES! I'm guessing most of these viruses were downloaded over the months, but holy crap! The best part, I had to pay $50 for this program! ARGH!!!!!! I know, there are other free ones that work just as good out there, but like I said, NOTHING WOULD INSTALL! So I was finally able to scan the computer and rid myself of ALL these bad spyware, viruses, etc. Theres this one minor one that can't be deleted, but it shouldn't be the reason for what it's doing now. Basically the computer is clean, but it still will FREEZE up after 2 minutes. I thought it was maybe the Norton, so I closed that completely, and it still froze up. That's when I gave up and turned the FUCKING thing off. I'm pissed, and tired, and had soo many things I wanted to do tonight, and got around to NOTHING. What the hell is it?!?! Do I REALLY have to backup my files and format AGAIN!? That takes a good day. Maybe I should buy an external hard-drive and back up the files that way? Burning 10 DVDs takes FOREVER!!! I am NOT looking forward to figuring this thing out. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a macbook or imac! I think it's time I make this switch. I can't stand PCs anymore. I really can't. Can you tell how annoyed I am right now?!

Okay seriously, Im laying in bed right now on my laptop and I thought I saw something out the corner of my eye, and low and behold, there's a spider running over my pillows. I'm not a sissy or anything, but I am fucking arachnophobic! I can't stand the things, and it's running over my pillows?! The only thing I could think to do was slam my hand down on it. Smushed it. @^#%*!

Anyway, to top it off, a dead pixel popped up in the center of my iphone the other day. GREAT. I've tried many things to get rid of it, or fix it (I thought it might be stuck), but nothings working. Dead pixels bug the shit out of me! And today, I don't know whats going on, but I charged it over night, went to work, took it out without using it after my shift, and only 4 hours after unplugging it, the battery was drained to 10%. Ive had to charge it twice today! I haven't even used it! WHAT IS GOING ON!?

This is just a really bad day I guess. I need to sleep so I can wake up and do the things that I wanted to do tonight. I don't know what I'm going to do about my computer. I don't want to deal with it, but it has EVERYTHING I need on it! Everything. Like my life! @^&%#!!!!!!!!

im going to bed. SOMEBODY BUY ME A MAC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

m-fucking-ichael.

I'M A PC. AND I SUCK !!!
@#&^$%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend Kerry somehow got the address to the film set of Bella's house in NEW MOON. It's actually quite close to where I live, so we took a drive down. She had went a couple of days ago and there were the vehicles and the motorbikes from the movie, on the lawn next door. Unfortunately when we went today, they were gone. Supposedly the security watching the house would never let anyone get within 50 feet of the thing, afraid that crazy fans might try to steal something or break something off the house as a piece of memorabilia. Luckily for us, the dude let us actually go on the steps of the house and take pictures! My friends took some great shots on their cameras, and they haven't uploaded them yet, but I'll make sure to post them once I get them. I was able to snag one with my iphone and get a little video with my flipcam at the same time! So here's the picture and the video for your viewing pleasure.

I got some new rollerblades yesterday. I'm pretty excited about them. I went with my friend Desiree who also wanted some. As soon as we got them we went blading around our neighborhood for a good hour. It was awesome! We hadn't bladed in 10 years. But we picked it up right away. Our plan is to go downtown to Vancouver one of these days and blade the seawall around Stanley Park. Summers clearly coming as the days are warming up. Yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far, at 26°c. Nice eh? That being said, everyone loves the hot and sunny days right? I included. But I love rain. Is that weird? I love waking up and it's raining! Not really on the days I want to go outside to say, oh, rollerblade, but I don't mind rain at all. I think rain is calming and refreshing, and it's supposed to rain today, that's my point why I'm talking about rain right now. :P I'm looking forward to the rain. Maybe it will be a slower night at my work then, because you won't be able to sit outside on the patio. Am I evil? I worked last night and got out of the place at 2am, when we close at midnight. It was just a crazy night. Very busy! And while it's nice to be busy, because you can make good money, it can also be very stressful, and VERY tiring. I worked for 8 1/2 hours, and had one fifteen minute break. So working that hard after rollerblading an hour, my feet were hurting pretty bad, and I was so exhausted! So exhausted that I came home, watched an episode of LOST, and passed out. And then today, I got out of bed at 3pm! The best part, I'm closing tonight again too, so I have to start getting ready for work pretty soon. Work sleep work sleep. And Im closing tomorrow night too! I know, it's good money, but I don't get a weekend at all, and I'm already exhausted.

So, I hope it rains soon. Maybe it will calm me down a bit.
