the slack(er) is back

Hello blogfans & welcome to a long overdue post!

Things are back in indolent half-swing as I have returned to a Nanaimo summer. People think it's hot some days but I think I got used to the weather because I have been finding the weather quite fine, though decidedly cold at night.

I got to see a lot of people lately, thanks to everyone who has made the effort to tag up & hang out. It was great to see those who had the opportunity to come at the social gathering @ Brad's: Foo & Katelynne, Brad, David, Ted, Scott, Chris (Hershell), E-sag & Chris Ruiz, Ama' & Brian, Sean, and I think that was it (sorry if I forgot someone). Some jamming was done, foosball was played, burgers were cooked/burnt/eaten, and passive sentences were written. All in all not too bad.

The next day I grabbed Olives & Lawrie from the ferry, had dinner at the old folks home, and then hung out with them. Olives now sports a massive piece of facial hair under his chin, but "the Olives hair" on the top of the head has been uniformly shortened. He is a mean shot at pool as well.

Lately, most of my escapades have been confined to watching feline antics, playing pool, furniture-moving hijinks, and the occasional spontaneous hacky-sack session participation. Feel free to drop by (calling ahead is good, that number again is 758-9378) for a game of pool, or just hanging out. I promise to feed you if you are just one person, or you + your significant other, but I lack the skills to sustain your retainers, court, and private army. :p

I hope to catch the Arts Alive musical on the weekend, sometime. I have been reading Harry Potter. My little second-cousins are coming over tomorrow, so woohoo.
