It has been a pretty low key weekend. Friday featured making what probably works out to be $20 for playing hangman at work for awhile as no one wanted to do any real work. My team won, as we were bastards using f'd up words and phrases. Kelly had a gathering at her place Friday night, I was rather over tired so I did not participate in the drinking portion of things. There were a number of funny comments made during the night that I was going to mention, however I can't recall them.
Saturday I went to Kelly's for some supper featuring tities, chicken tities that is. It was good. We then came to my place and watched Big Brother.
Today I woke up for the F1 event, but then fell asleep during it for a few moments.
Anyone remember/ever hear the story about Mr. Bryan making it to the last round of Jeopardy contestant testing? Someone mentioned that at work the other day, it sparked back the memory of him telling us and someone telling him he was bullshitting, I think it was Bmorris.

On the weekend Kelly and I went to Halifax. We left here Saturday at 6:55am. We made very good time, arriving in Halifax shortly after 10. Along the 4 lane section of NS highway, I tried cruise control for the first time in my life. That lasted about a minute until I had to turn it off. It was a weird out of control feeling that didn't sit well with me. I prefer using the gas myself as I feel more at one with the car I guess. I decided to use yahoo maps to see what the distance is from here to Halifax, and put that together with the time it took to get there to figure out the average speed of the trip. It turns out to have been roughly 126km/h which is pretty decent, considering I don't drive carelessly at 150 the whole way and that a third of the way was two lane highway with a bit of traffic that needed to be slowed down for.
Once in Halifax, we went to the MicMac mall. Kelly bought numerous things, while I struggled to find anything decent to buy. We then went to the Halifax Shopping Centre. I believe on the way there we saw the remains of a car hitting some propane tanks and causing an explosion. While tied up in traffic around it, I noticed James F Lahey auto something. I took a photo of it with Kelly's phone, as I'm sure there is a good chance that is where the Jim Lahey character originated from. After that we saw a run down strip club. Kelly turned down the idea of visiting it. Then there were some tense moments of trying to navigate across the city. Along the way, some broad from Quebec decided to make a sudden lane change from a dead stop, into the lane we were heading down near 30km/h, without looking to see what was coming. It was a close call, and her male passenger gave me a wave or I'm sure they call it a "salute in apology of my girlfriends terrible driving, I will hit her later for you tabernac!" Some how we ended up behind the same vehicle and there was another near accident. She put the car into reverse while shifting through gears after being stopped on a small incline, thankfully she stopped short of backing into us.
The Halifax Shopping Center saw Kelly make a few more purchases, while I looked for a suitable hat I can wear backwards. It is hard for me to find one though, as I explained to Kelly, I don't want anything "bling bling" "redneck" "circus on my head" or "ska8er" or a shitty sports team. I think the only thing I ended up buying was some Absolut at the Liquor Store there.
We visited some other stores, including Winners, where a kid was acting like a special needs kid stuck in a cart. An employee caught onto him and he ran away yelling.
It was then off for a walk around Dal.
Upon arrival to the hotel the one at check in decided to randomly give us a harbor view room upgrade for free, this was foreshadowing of the luck to come later at the casino.
We went to supper around 7:30 to TGI Fridays. The food was good and filling. We also had some drinks, which were very good. The one I had was filled with rum, vodka, gin, and something else, and the second one I had was even more potent, but not as enjoyable due to being so full from the meal. We then left and returned to the hotel to watch Big Brother, then went to Pacifico. It is very much like Voodoo in Moncton, maybe a bit smaller though and less hollywood like. We stayed there for a bit and then wandered around downtown, eventually making our way to the casino around 1am. Once there, we figured out how to play things and get coins. We sat down at some slot machines. After about 2 minutes I matched two things, and noticed it said I won a jackpot. I thought it was only a little jackpot, because I didn't match all 3 items. The attended came over and did her thing securing the machine and asked if I knew how much I won. I thought it would be maybe a hundred dollars. It turned out to be the second highest slot machine jackpot that a person could possibly get at the place, $540. Not bad for only putting a $20 in a few moments earlier. While waiting for the security guard and pay attended to come give me the money, I noticed Mr. Bryan playing some slots. Also 3 or 4 people walking by stopped to ask how much I had won and give congradulations. Kelly and I continued to play on some other machines until our initial $20 was gone.
We went back to our room, ordered a pizza, almost fell asleep waiting for it, it arrived, was partially eaten, then we went to bed.
At breakfast we overheard what we thought to be a guy saying something like "I watched porn last night and he wasn't on it." however they were talking about max from Conan, and some how Conan sounded exactly like porn. After a stop at the candy store for Kelly to obtain some items, it was then a quick and humid drive to Moncton. We went in the mall for a short bit, then made our way home.

Dildo Dawn
Not much has occurred this weekend, it was rather quiet, with no going out.
Strangely I have gotten to enjoy the childish games we play for training at work. They are what keep me awake. The highlight of them is always when my team decides its time to get dirty, and we ask one of the other teams a question that is so fucking complicated our instructors have a hard time thinking about it. We put up a fuss the other day because one team left out one step of a process, one very tiny step. While they were all trying to guess it, one of my teammates said, "pretty sure they are going to hate us for this" the other said, "pretty sure I don't care" We are currently leading the childish game standings by 2pts.

Coffee & Hot Wings at 3am
As usual, the weekend recap;
Friday was what I like to refer to as an "opera house lite" night, as we only went for an hour to show one of Kelly's friends from away the place, and no liquor was consumed by myself. The highlight was Snaggle and others performing air instruments in the cage to some AcDc.
Saturday was the main event of the weekend. After a short bit of drinking here, Kelly, her friend Maryann and myself did the usual walk to the OH. It was fairly full, a lot of people I have never seen before though. There weren't any notable occurrences from there, although it was a good time filled with normal conversation and drinking. I got to watch the finish of the nascar race as Kelly and her friend consumed a grog and I had my usual drink of choice. While sitting there a conversation was had with Evan C. and there was a near fight between some guy and some other guy over some girl, however the situation was diffused. A little later I recall meeting up with Jamie H. who was having some trouble with a flashing guitar pin he got at the rock and roll weekend concert. It appeared he wanted it to stop flashing, but it wouldn't. Eventually he put it in the pocket of his shirt, however you could still see it flashing.
Some more people were noted in the fire truck on the 3rd floor again this weekend, so I guess it must be an allowed thing these days.
We went outside shortly after 2, and observed and mingled with the masses of people gathered on the sidewalk. There was one near fight, however it was put off until Doran's later in the night, and I guess didn't occur. Also there was a female noted slapping some guys face pretty hard, then a bit later another girl did it to him again for what appeared to be just for fun. We then walked to PizzaTwice. On the walk some guys, who looked pretty young, were going on about going to their place for "nothing sexual" to Kelly and her friend. Kelly made a few references asking him how old he was, making fun of his age. He claimed to be 20, so I checked his drivers license as we walked up the street, he indeed was 20, but looked about 16. The last we saw of him I believe he was quoted as saying to Kelly who was still harassing him, "your bitter!"
We then went into the pizza store, there was a line up for both pizza and the bathroom, so I left and went to subway to use the bathroom. I then returned to the pizza store. There was conversation amongst some people in the line up, and the highlight of the night occurred. An older man appeared and was not drinking, it appeared he was just out for a drive and ended up in the middle of about 30 intoxicated pizza customers. He wanted a coffee and wings. They don't serve coffee unless its breakfast. This appeared to irate him a bit and he promptly asked, "what do you have for wings then" He ordered the hottest they had and when the worker asked for his name to put on the order, he wouln't give it at first. Then gave the name, "Tom Jones" and made the comment, "so what your not going to let me order if I don't give you my social insurance number?" He then went and stood in the corner and waited for his order.
We sat with Mike U. and his gf, who is from saint john, and was room mates with Kelly's friends, friend. It appears something like that always occurs at pizza twice. Most of the rest of Kelly's friends appeared, there was conversation and eating. There was also the guy who is referred to as bubbles, he was going to sleep at some large girls house and people kept making fun of him for it and he kept saying, "fuck I'm just going to sleep on the couch" I believe they made comments like, "She's big but you shouldn't call her a couch." Then we had to leave as it was nearing 4. Outside while waiting for our taxi, there was a woman sitting on the step who was a bit loud inside earlier. The police pulled in to speak with her. She was spoken to and they remained in the parking lot talking amongst themselves waiting for her to get into a taxi.
Taxi appears, Kelly darts for the taxi, her and her friend get in, the woman then tries to get in and Kelly refused to let her in, I could notice in the background the police were watching and the woman said, "fuck let me in or they will take me to jail" Kelly still refused. So I noticed a taxi by subway and sent her on her way to it. Once in the taxi, the driver said to me, "I thought that was going to be a fight for sure"
Sunday was pretty relaxed, as was today.
