Well, Grey Cup is over for another year, and another decade in Regina. It's amazing how something that was such a big part of Regina for the last week and the last year didn't really have to much of an impact on my daily life, which was good. Everything was too expensive for me to participate in, so I was able to avoid most of it, which was just fine with me. The stuff that I did partake in was fun, so all in all a great thing.

Friday morning I dropped off my car at the dealership and then came home. Marco was kind enough to give me a ride to the Door Store to pick up some custom shelves that I ordered, and I spent most of the rest of the day putting them up. Blair came over with his computer that night and we hung out, drank beer, fixed his machine, and listened to some classic Adam Sandler!

I slept in on Saturday and then decided that my original idea for the day, painting, was just too much work so I decided to unpack all the stuff in my room. I hadn't done it since I moved in but now that I had the shelf space it made things a lot easier. My room is now virtually bare and it is huge. The only thing missing from it now is baseboards, so hopefully I can convince Jerrod to come over and take care of that situation for me. After I finished a delicious supper of mule deer that I murdered myself, Brad came and picked me up and we went to his garage to join up with Jerrod and Blair for an evening of poker. We got a late start but it was all good. I lost my shirt - okay, only ten bucks - but it was a blast. Tyler showed up later with some more beer in the nick of time so it was a good night all in all. I sure hope we do it again real soon!

I had crashed at Brad's Saturday night, so he gave me a ride home in the morning so I could shower and change. Soon it was time for Blair to pick me up again, and we went back to Brad's to watch the big game. In attendance were Darcy, Blair, myself, Brad, Steff, Jerrod, Holly, Ryan, and a surprise visitor, Azure-Dee. We didn't really pay attention to the game that much, but the right team won so that's all that mattered. Highlights included watching that asshole Don Matthews lose, the idiot Canadian Idol guy who couldn't even lip-sync, and the huge bombs both teams were throwing in the first half. After the game me, Darcy, Brad, Steff, and Jerrod met up at Bart's on Broad for a bit to socialize a bit more before Darcy heads up to the Great White North for a few months to earn some quick cash. I was home before 11pm so it was a good night and a good way to cap off a great weekend and a great vacation.

Today Marco was kind enough to drive me to work in the morning since my car was still in the shop, and guess what? - it still is! It won't be ready until tomorrow morning, so I'm car-less for another night. It's not that bad except I am running super low on groceries so I guess that's the plan after I get my car tomorrow.

No big plans for the week except a union meeting on Wednesday night this week. Anybody up for poker again this weekend? Give me a call!
