better lake than never

-so it is official that the parental folks are moving up to williams lake. it is a range of emotions like on a selfish level i am sad that i will not have my mom and dad at arms length any more so if i needed that safe haven to go visit them i could but now if i want to do something like that it would require a flight or 5 hours of driving or who will i call if i am drunk and fall asleep on the skytrain and stranded in new west at 2am but on the flip side of things i am super stoked and really happy for them because a future of retirement and happiness is more foreseeable up there than what it is in surrey and as dad said 'i would rather spend the last of my years up there than here' so when he said that it hit home and made total and complete sense but anyway so they are planning for the move at the end of september and then last week was a bit rough because when they heard they can get the jobs they were wanting up there they put the house up for sale on monday and by monday at 10pm it was sold and i was sad because that is the house that i grew up in all my life and i never thought i would ever see my parents move from there so that was that and tears were shed but i am okay it is natural i am thinking and then on wednesday they had to put chica the family dog down because it was her time she should have been dead in december last year but with the wonders of doggie steroids she stayed around alot longer than what she was supposed to so more tears were shed on wednesday it was rough but again i am okay because i would rather chica pass on now here and be put down by a vet who loved her as much as my parents rather than some stranger up in YWL that is the airport code for williams lake which i guess i need to know for future reference and then this weekend i went in to help with the packing duties and HOLY SHIT nostalgic road or what going through a bunch of stuff that i had left there when i moved out over 8 years ago craziness and i think kael has a new view on me especially looking at my grad photo with the HAIR i would post a picture but that is okay i will pass so the next little bit is going to be a stressful to ensure their move goes well and i hope they get the house they are eyeing up there and next week is my birthday. 29 if you are wondering. i know.

-kael already gave me my birthday gifts which included tickets to a dan mangan concert on the 28th and also wii sport resort and super mario galaxy for the wii so awesome which is also another reason i have not typed in a bit because i have been golfing and frisbeeing and archering and power cruising and no that is not super fast checking out and hitting on guys that has something to do with jet skis or something but i am super excited for dan mangan ... mind you i was wanting his new cd when it came out on the 11th but hmv did not have it and added me to a list so if it came in they would call me but no phone call yet and how am i supposed to be that crazy fan singing all his new songs at the concert if i do not have his cd so i am going on a hunt starting tomorrow to get that shit.

-i have started taking advantage of the company costco card and i have fallen in love with mini bagels because they are the most amazing snack/meal/breakfast/lunch/dinner whatever and the best friend for mini bagels is bacon bit cream cheese omg i will be a not so mini bagel at any rate but i am okay with that.

-due to popularity of fat angels i have drawn a few sketches of possible future paintings ...
