So... our cable and internet got cut off, but the cable still has channels up to 100, just doesn't work with the box anymore, so I was out of internet for over a week. I also lost my phone during that time, which really sucks. I had no life outside of work and home. Made me realize how much we depend on technology. Hassy fish came!
We got evicted two days ago and have to move out as soon as possible. Roommate put hot sauce on the neighbours truck, and the neighbour put paint thinner all over Clayton's car and called our landlord (he used to live in our place then moved next door). The landlord has had a few calls from him before so he wasn't happy and came over and told us we had to leave. It's been stressful the past few days, but things always work out, so I'm not worrying.

I'm back in Vancouver now (since the 1st) and it's nice to be back. The flight from London to Toronto was only 20 minutes long, then I was supposed to wait 3 hours in Toronto for my flight to Vancouver, but my first flight was a little slow getting off the runway, so that 3 hours turned into 1 hour. My second flight sucked, my seat wouldn't recline for some reason, it was broken. I even tried asking if they could put me in first class, no dice. I have the worst sloutch so sitting upright for 5 hours sucked a lot. When food came around I was so jealous because I wasn't supposed to get any, but they said I was entitled to a sandwich and snack (courtesy of my cancelled flight, I'm sure). I got a roast beef Quizno's sandwich, I've always wanted to get one on flights... but it ended up being disgusting, way too much lettuce, hardly any meat, and the sauce was whack.
Went to cash a pay check yesterday but the bank was closed, so I have to wait until monday. I bought a new sweater and two polos from the Gap, need to keep it fresh. I was on eBay two days ago and saw a Hasselblad 30mm CF T* fisheye with a "Buy It Now" price of $2200 but it also had a "Best Offer" option, so I lowball offered him $1500, but it automatically got denied by his preset minimum, so I then put $1800, but it got denied, so I then put $1850, and it went through. I just needed to see if the guy would accept the offer. I wake up yesterday and I see in my email that the guy accepted the offer. This lens usually goes for around $2600 in the condition that it is, and I got it for $1850. I'm stoked. Should be here on Friday! Now I just need to sell my Bronica kit with fisheye, Dylan Davies has dibs.
I sold two Vivitar 285hvs last night, thanks to Craigslist. I sold my Sekonic L-508 light meter to Mitchell DeYoung, might downgrade or upgrade... not too sure yet. I also sold my Hasseblad 80mm CF T* to Curtis Rothney to possibly fund a 60mm (haven't decided yet).
Going snowboarding tomorrow morning with old roommate TJ at Seymour, stoked to go riding because I never took my snowboard home for the holidays, it would have cost me 100 bucks each way for the extra bag, so 200 bucks to ride on a hill that is 300 feet long or wait for 2 weeks to ride a real mountain, I waited.
Once again I was too lazy to upload cell phone pics, soon enough though.
