   I suck at pool . . . like, a lot . . .
Met up with the OOT at noon yesterday. She picked up a digi-cam from Future Shop (she says they're about $100 cheaper here than in The States); neat thing about it is that although she bought it at Future Shop (a Canadian chain), she can get the warranty reimbursed at Best Buy since they're both run by the same parent company. Keep that in mind, friends to my south.

Went to Metrotown (the main big mall) again to eat and shop for a bit before "Faramir" got off from work at 4pm. Heh . . . OOT loves "T&T Supermarket" (the "asian" supermarket)! She stocked up big time on Japanese cookies, instant noodles, Pocky (hehe), and stuff like that. While there, I also managed to pick up a Japanese tea set for my mom (she'll probably never use it, but it's neat and pretty and comes in a wooden box). Then after 4pm it was time to get "Faramir".

"Faramir", the OOT and I drove back to downtown Vancouver to meet up with some of "Faramir's" work people for dinner at this pretty expensive "new age" Japanese restaurant. We still had an hour or so to kill before dinner, though, so the three of us walked along the beach at English Bay (a very pretty area of Vancouver, should any of you come by), taking pictures and enjoying the semi-rainy weather (we got some good rainfall today too, though).

Dinner was really fun with the nine of us (three of "Faramir's" work people plus a couple of their girlfriends and a friend of a girlfriend . . . in any case, there were three Japanese girls with us at dinner which rocked). We got a bunch of little dishes to share around, and "our half" of the table got some bottles of sake (clearly we had to). I gotta say, it's fun to drink sake, especially with the little cups and stuff . . . . . so yes, something fun for everyone to consider trying IF you're of age, a'ight?

Afterwards we hung out for a bit at "Faramir's" friend's apartment downtown (very cushy place) and played pool while drinking some more (only a little more for me though, I was driving) and eating ice cream and pound cake. Oh yeah, and we watched the Simpsons episode on a TV in that room where Marge makes the pretzels . . . needless to say, when the end part came around with the Yakuza guys fighting the Springfield mafia guys, we were all quite amused. Heehee.

After I got home, I also sent an e-mail to DES' girlfriend. Here's hopin' it gets to her in time for Christmas . . .

. . . and now it's about 12:30am, and I gotta not sleep in . . . gonna call up "Legolas" and see if he wants to go to Richmond (the city where I work) and look around with the OOT. Gotta say, this has definitely been one of the more eventful Christmas breaks I've had in my time . . . . . but first, gift-wrapping! Have a good Friday, everyone!

(And remember, don't drink and drive. It's bad.)


Random SomeGuy Trivia: I have a quirky gift-giving policy when it comes to getting gifts for in-home family: no DVDs, no games, no books. I consider it cheating. Why? Consider this: when you say you buy a movie for someone, then they watch it, then they're done watching it, where does it end up? On the shelf with all the other movies in the family library! So sure, you got them something, but did you really get it for them? Not personal enough, in my opinion . . . which is why I'm always sad because I'm constantly breaking said-policy regarding my younger brother (he's hard to shop for) . . . by that same token, it's part of why I love that my older brother's moved out.
