What a Friday. How much fun did I have? Well, probably more than I will allow myself to write here, so I'll just have you know that the whole day, entirely, was enjoyable. I'll fast forward to the events of the evening...
I had briefly returned home in the early afternoon after running chores when Geoff declared that he had a present for me: a ticket to the London Knights home game against Toronto-St. Mikes. Excellent, I thought, I don't have to make any other plans! My night was set. Without much hassle I was able to convince my friend Vanessa to come along as well. We popped down to get her a ticket to the game, and in early evening we parted ways to get some solo chores done, eat food, and prepare.
Fast forward a little to the game, where we had managed to sneak in some alcohol that we had all picked up moments before. I just have to say that I have not had a proper night out in a while, so this was a bit of a treat for me. Anyway, the game was great, the Knights won 7-3, and we retired to one of Geoff's friends' house to reconvene the group and decide where we were off to next. While we were inside deciding (well, the others did most of the deciding) the heavens opened up and it started to rain.
Vanessa had a couple friends going to a local institute called Joe Kool's, so I offered her my hat and we trudged through the deluge to find them. They weren't there. We got a drink each and people watched for a bit until the others from the group got there. During this time I had an epiphany, which was very funny to me at the time. Oh the wonders of alcohol...
As time passed it (obviously!) got later, and what with Vanessa teaching a 0930 violin class, she had to away. We put her in a cab and Geoff and I attempted to go to another bar. However, not wanting to wait in line for a bar that didn't give me an interview, we caught a taxi home and crashed out after a well fought game of Mario Party 7 on the Gamecube.
I'd have to say that it was a great night, a perfect ending to a perfect day. Thanks to all those involved, especially those extra special people that know who they are!

Sounds like a good time Adam... as far as the job goes, it's with a company called Pronk & Associates. They basically design textbooks for the education market. I've been hired as "Photo Researcher". It's an assistant job to start but they have Art Directors, Editors, Designers, Pre-Press staff, etc. so there's room to grow. Anyway, that's the gig. Hope something comes your way soon.
bigtime...
