Computer Woes Over



I have been having difficulty getting on a computer because they did not like my BC government issued ID. Have no idea why. So I came in one day with my birth certificate and the genius behind the desk said you have to be a Canadian to get a computer. What? Just where the heck do you think Saskatchewan is? Oh and just so you know the genius behind the desk clearly did not grow up in Quebec. I just want to make that clear in case anyone started thinking it was a Quebec thing not to know Saskatchewan is in fact in Canada and not say Azkaban. Anyhow, my new updated ID finally came in the mail after I had already left and my house and cat sitters xpressmailed it to me. So take that Mr. Computer man. It`s pretty funny because my picture is really blurry. Really blurry. But oh well as long as it gets me past the front desk.

Wayward Son sent me directions on what might work for the posting of pictures so I`m going to give it a try.

Right now The Comedy Fest is on and it is centered on St. Denis. Every night they block the road to vehicular traffic and a firetruck parks itself right in front of my apartment.

The weekends are the best although because I live right on the street I see that it is so far very repetitive. I`m kind of hoping next weekend will be different. What was fun and exciting the first night had really started to lose its appeal by the third night in a row especially the five song loop that blare from the loud speakers all along the street. It`s not so much that they have music blaring but do they really need to play the theme song for the comedy fest, which sounds suspiciously like the bunny hop song, four times every hour?

My favorite thing so far has been the stilt walkers. Allison, I wish you were here because they had gargoyles on stilts! They were pretty cool and their costumes were something else and they were the only stilt walkers that completely incorporated their stilts into the costume design as well. The crazed Mozart Barbershop is quite fun too but that was certainly something that I thought brilliant on the Friday night, pretty cool on the Saturday night and ok, I`ve had enough of this by the Sunday night.

There has just been so much going on that I don`t know where to start or stop so I think I will say good-bye for now. Now that my acceptable ID is here I should be able to hang around here a lot more. Wayward Son sent me directions on a possible solution to being able to download my pictures and I`m going to try it later. Hopefully that will work otherwise this is going to be one visually boring blog this summer.

Take care all and I hope to be stopping by your place soon. But for now I absolutely must write my parents. Cheers!
