Of kings, both grilling & returning

Today was pretty darn good. Foo continues to irk me slightly, but whatever... won't have to worry about it much longer. We had breakfast at the Granary today, I stuffed myself with:

• 2 pieces of bacon
  
• 2 sausages
  
• 1 piece of ham
  
• 4 pieces of toast
  
• many hash browns (diced)
  

It was, all in all, quite awesome. We went home afterwards & played video games for a while, then I had a shower. At about 3:45 we started driving to Lantzville for the BBQ at my uncle's. I wore a white shirt with light blue crosshatching under the burgundy sweater-vest.

We socialized for a while, had an awesome dinner (including very excellent steak) and then I ate a ridiculous piece of ice cream cake for dessert. I took a picture or two off of the deck, to show my host family. I hope you like landscapes, check out the Georgia Strait & Coast Mountains: [You can kind of see how it's cloudy and rainish out]

Went to the mall to get CHEAP POP when I got home: 12L for $4.60 after all fees & taxes, oh yeah. Then, I went to Brad's... called Foo, and he came up. David, Foo, Brad & Amay and Laura & I all watched "Return of the King." It was funnier than usual, but some of the usually epic and dramatic parts didn't get to me. We got irked by the excessive ending though... there's a good 30-45 min of extraneous crap after the numerous places to end it. Especially the randomness of Sam coming home at the very end.

Anyway, now it's 3:00 so I should go to bed. I hopefully have drums tomorrow @ 1:00 PM (Gregg says "works just fine, my fine feathered friend"), then a little time to spend with Laura. In the evening, we plan to take a ferry to Vancouver Harbour and watch fireworks. That's about it.
