bonus section:
after work, I did my old walk down to the atimi office. aaah what a walk! where else can you see stuff like autumn in the park or an old lady smacking her butt while walking through said park. then I heard comeone calling my name, and looked pu to see
an old high school friend waving. and of course, there was the
bench guy I always used to see when passsing by science world and skaters doing kickflips to board slides. and of course, a man eating a watermelon. and the end of the walk signified by the steam clock. once I got there, we came back out to get drinks. and I commented to Mike that we should tel the crowd that it's just a clock, so Mike yelled at them. "IT'S JUST A CLOCK!!!" awesome. while having drinks, pierre showed off the first iphone I've seen in action. and the night ended with beers on zoltan's roof. fun. so, if you're wondering why the linked pics on the blogs just aren't what they used to be... well... I just don't walk as far anymore.

livin' it up when I'm goin' down!!

total bonus post. not lunch. just awesome. mad mad mad props to meighan for bringing my joke to life. wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

I know this was just a boulevard destroyed here, but I'm sure they got bigger plans. aren't there enough condos in vancouver already?? then there's that zlotnic guy who has somehow decided to give the park to our local first nations band, so he can save the precious golf course? ... uh..

comments: the donair was ok. I know it looks like crap in this pic, but it wasn't bad. shoulda got the chicken, though. when will I learn. always get the chicken. carving beef off those rotating thingys always puts me off a bit.. but for some reason the chicken always looks more like real meat. and tastes so. click to see the place I got it.

comments: a rather interesting day today. it started with me seeing rain and thinking that my feet would be soaked walking to work cuz me shoes are kinda past their expiry date. So at work I thought I should go find some new shoes at lunch. Erin said she'd help me with this, cuz I'm a special needs shopper and need a worker with me to explain why or why not to buy things. But that's just the beginning of the story. in the linked pic is erin after the shopping extravaganza.

and here's a:

random pic of magnum in my old window.
comments: so I spent too long shopping and there's no guess lunch. but anyway... on with the story, I went to the washroom before leaving for lunch, and before leaving there, the fly on my shorts was kinda stuck, so I tried to get it unstuck. which resulted in it breaking. so now I had to walk around, and go buy shoes with my fly wide open. arg. easily solved, though, I just wore my jacket zipped up a bit, and went and bought new shorts whilst buying my new shoes. oh, and I found I could get a 2nd pair of shoes for very cheaply. and I did. and if you click the pic, you will see the new headphones I got from London Drugs. they were needed for my desk. overall, a $150 lunch.
