Wish you were here?

It seems every time I call home people are never shy in letting me know that the UK is rubbish and I should think myself lucky I'm not there. I try to tell them that it's not that amazing over here, I mean it's pretty good but it's not like they have Match Of The Day. Or Top Gear. Maybe I just miss UK TV programmes and that's it. In fact I think that is it. I honestly think several of those people would appreciate the motherland more should they ever live in another country. Says the guy who would sell his game collection to stay in Canada. Well most of it. Not the Neo Geo Pocket Color stuff, that shit is bananas.

I'd love to say I have some highlights to put here but I really don't, the Slurm was the highlight of the week. Work is still dead, although the ridiculous decision to extend the mall hours means I'll have more late shifts starting next week. Seriously, who buys games at 8pm? I also walked over to North Vancouver and back to hit up the Wal-Mart in Capilano Mall. It was raining for the entire duration and reminded me of that day several months ago when I was doing much the same thing. Except I was jobhunting with no success, no waterproof coat, in uncomfortable shoes and feeling thoroughly depressed. I've come a long way.

I also discovered my parents have booked a cruise and will be away for 3 weeks shortly after I get back, allowing me to watch the World Cup in peace. And put all my stuff back in exactly the same place it was when I left, I don't care how long it takes. If I want to trip over boxes of DVDs and have to move my bed every time I want an item of clothing from my wardrobe, that's my choice.
