False Alarm....and Possible Bad News

The Province stated today the eagle hatching was a false alarm. People are becoming worried over the incubation time for the eggs according to the forum at the site. They are starting to think that the eggs aren't viable as it is going past the due date. That would be quite disappointing after such a great live feed set-up. At least I can tell the male and female apart now. The female has a bushier "hair-do". Last night was definitely strange. I think everyone was out to get drunk. I had two weirdos stick their heads in the pass window while I was cooking, looking completely obliterated. Also a woman at the local watering hole (where the Last Call Fairy resides) was completely hitting on me and Peter, in search of a threesome. She was quite forward about everything she talked about and was clearly disappointed about missing out on her booty call with some guy who had called her on her cell phone. Everyone seemed weird. I made some delicious soup with left over roaste...

Rainy Day....An Eagle Has Hatched

It was supposed to be sunny today but I woke up to see this on my window. Not surprising, living in Vancouver, but disappointing, considering I woke up before noon. No one here complains about the rain very much. We all know that without it the trees would not be green and lush. We wouldn't have such beautiful lawns and wildlife. If you aren't from here, rain is a major complaint. Remember David Duchovny? The rain drove him away and then X-Files sucked. My head is fuzzy again. The Last Call Fairy was hard to chase since I was working until close. I got to the bar at 1: 30am so I had to have 2 quick beers and finish off my night with my favourite shot, Mr. Meister. It is the only shot I will do now, unless of course, it's someones birthday. I will not do Tequilla ever because of the automatic rejection-mode I go into once it touches my lips. Anyways, when I came home, I had to have more beer (rarely in my house--hate drinking at home). Thus, my head is fuzzy, and I would nev...

Good Morning....or rather Afternoon!

I have a new job and have been working there for 2.5 weeks. It's definitely been a bit of a change since I worked at my other job for 6.5 years. The biggest change is the time I work. I used to be a day person. I worked in the morning and was used to going to bed before the sun started to creep over the horizon. Now I am working nights. I have shifted my whole lifestyle forward by 8 hours. Peter, my boyfriend, would drive me crazy with his lack of housework, all stemming from working late nights. "I don't want to wake you up when you are sleeping!" This was his excuse when explaining why he doesn't clean up at night. Now we both work nights and I find it inappropriate to vacuum at 4 in the morning, especially for my n eighbours. I never understood my employees that used to stay awake until 8am when they worked at 4pm. Well, now I wake up at noon and have to force myself to get anything done. This time change has opened my eyes to the whole hospitality alcoholi...

Lazy Day...

After the big day trip yesterday, I feel extremely lazy. Slept til 12:30pm and I work at 6pm to 1am. Yawn. I am currently surfing my bookmarked pages. Watching the eaglecam, which isn't working well today (is it me?). We have the messiest apartment in the world and we are too lazy to clean it up. Seems like the cats have taken it over. Oh well, I'm sure I'll have more to say tomorrow.

Day Trip!!!!

Well, after a night of drinking, I must say, I am surprised that I survived the day at all. Tuesday night I was supposed to met some friends for some beer, some hockey and hopefully some Jager. Well, after some shopping I m et up with my buddies. The night was okay but unfortunately, the o ne friend, whom I have a bit of a crush on, had to leave after only two beers. At least I got the money he owed me and he looke d pretty good in shorts and flip flops... The other one had to leave too and was replaced with another buddy. I drank with him until the end of the game, after which I disco vere d my possib le drunkenness....I wandered down to meet my boyfriend and continued drinking. We decided that we should go on a day trip to Sechelt the next day, meaning an early start. I made a promise to do this, and somehow I also remember us talking about throwing out our only form of birth control and try to get pregnant. Interesting what people say when they are drunk. Woke up the next morning...

I Wanna Soak Up The Sun......

It certainly is a great day to start a new blog spot. It is a beautiful day in Vancouver, my boyfriend and I finally were intimate after months of staleness, and I am getting more and more comfortable at my new job. The best part is, I don't have a hangover. Working night shifts, after being a day person for the past 10 years, is definitely an eye-opening, and beer guzzling event. I now understand the need to drink faster so as not to get caught by the "Last Call Monster" before you've had your fill. No wonder so many people in the hospitality industry are alcoholics. Unfortunately, the problem with this beautiful day is that I have to work tonight. Don't get me wrong, I like my new place of employment. Although, it is much slower than the previous restaurant I worked at, the people are nice and it's nice to work with a mix of people as opposed to just women out front and men in the kitchen. I am now working on Davie Street, so the mix of staff ranges from gay...
