Big 'Gratz going out.

I attended the wedding of Matt Kelly and Wendy Kelly on the weekend.

I just wanted to say, you guys rock! The wedding was beautiful, the reception was fun, and I had an all around great time!

I love you guys!

The End of an Era

Some of you might have heard through the grapevine. The lucky ones, I told in person.

I got a job at JA Smith and Associates, an accounting firm here in town.

Which means...

MY DAYS AT BLOCKBUSTER HAVE MERCIFULLY COME TO AN END! (As of the end of the month...)

Thanks in advance for the congratulations, when do we party?

Monsters on the Carpet

I was almost devoured in a single gulp tonight.


Innocent, I was, as I watched a movie on my couch, one foot dangling over the side, when I saw it. A spider so large it thumped as it moved was mere inches from my toe.

I pretty much shat myself.

Then, motivated by fear, I GOT IT!

I took some pics before I hurled the thing outside humanely.

CHECK OUT THE SIZE OF THIS BEASTIE:


OMG I'm lucky to be alive.

STAT RETREAT '07

Ahhhhh...... <------ That is a sigh of satisfaction.

Nads, Mattie and I returned to the old ways this week and had us a stat retreat. For those of you not in the know, that means pretty much doing horrendously geeky things like playing D&D, Settlers, DS games, and reading fantasy novels uninterrupted, etc, while camping and enjoying nature. It's an odd combo, we'd be the first to admit, but the results have been proven to be excellent.

Once again we made our pilgrimage to Miracle Beach, listening to the traditional STATMIX. Once at the site, we basically spent the next few days doing the above, as well as hanging out at the beach, playing with fire, being totally crude, and of course, stuffing our faces.

I took some photos and put them on Flickr.

Can't wait for the stat retreat '08! WOOO!

The return of "The Sleeper".

Had a visit from an old buddy on Friday.

Mike Klemak. Climax. Clitsmack. Whatever you call him. Actor, model, blowjob.

Anyway, Mattie took the three of us out to dinner at the Cactus Club to ogle waitresses, and Mike told us about life in Hollywood North. The guy's been pretty successful so far, and I fear the OLD BET may turn against me soon.

Anyway, later we drank a bunch, and I took some pics.

He couldn't leave Facebook alone...Mr 300+ friends. La-di-da.

Ummyeah.

Because Devon is seriously gay, this picture actually makes me kind of shudder...

...but not as much as this one.

Oh yeah, we played Settlers. Yours truly DOMINATED again...drunk! Seriously, are there any who can challenge me at that game anymore?

The Winter of Mattie's Discontent

Just HAD to post this.

Nads, Mattie and I had gathered, as we are wont to do, for some Settlers. We were playing one of the Seafarers scenarios where you are encouraged to take to the sea and in doing so, randomly generate the horizon and colonize it.

Poor luck for Mattie. His little sailors apparently all died of scurvy, as you can "sea".

I went on to win...naturally. :P

Chris Bard B.A., Acct.

Yep, so it was my graduation convocation today. Neat.

Mom, Dad, and Burton were on hand so photos were taken:


Thanks to everyone who congratulated me, and thanks to everyone who supported me over the years!

Sun = good.

Took Nads and a visiting Cam up to Parksville for some good times minigolfing. (Yeah that's right Michelle, minigolfing! :P) The weather was awesome, the resort chicks were flirty, and we ate ice cream...AWESOME. I took pics.

It should be noted that I dominated, coming it at -1 after 36 holes. Heh.

Naturally, we cooled down at Mattie's place after.

That's my happy face.

The Curse of Guitar Hero

So, I did some loose end-tying in GH2 today, and it went far better than I'd ever imagined. I now have ONE song left incomplete on expert difficulty...JORDAN. *shudder* Here's an idea of what I'm trying to get done here...

Just because you asked.

Yeah yeah yeah.

Anyways, here's the quick and dirty list of neat things going on in my life right now:

1. Randy had a surprise birthday party. Fun was had. Pics are somewhere in my facebook stuff. We all ganged up and got him a DS and stuff for his upcoming time in surgery recovery.

2. Um... D20 Modern is actually pretty neat.

3. Uhhh...I saw "The Secret", and while I thought most of it was ludicrous and retarded, it HAS inspired me to have a better attitude about life in general, and to appreciate everything around me. So far the payoff has been terrific.

4. Hmmm...Britt got engaged. She's happy. I'm happy she's happy. I'm NOT engaged. I'm happy about that too.

5. I've started saving for the kayak fund. I WILL NOT REST until Nads and I go kayaking in the Yukon, as planned.

6. I bought a new car. Saturn LS2. It's luxurious and fast.

7. Uncle Ted (Fraser)'s recovery has been swift, and he and Lynne even got to come home for the weekend. It was nice seeing them again (especially seeing Ted walking around without tubes and oxygen canisters) and it was also great to eat home-cooked food -- which I've seriously been lacking.

Yeah that's about it. Stop badgering me to update this thing for a little while, eh?
