poutine

alright, so i've heard alot about this stuff and never tried it before. its called poutine, an authentic canadian dish. it consists of french fries, cheese, and gravy. yes, sounds very gross, but its actually fantastic! i definently think you need to go with the beef gravy for this, not chicken. the food fair in the mall served it with mozzarella cheese curds, which was really good too. i'll definently be eating this at home!

hApPy BiRtHdAy!

today was gareth's birthday! when he woke up and left for work he totally forgot it was his day, so i said..."hey guess what? its your birthday!!!" and he said..."hey, it is!" so hopefully that put a smile on his face as he goes to work. the rest of the day i planned on surprising him with something nice. in the afternoon i made him a big cookie and put 27 candles on it. i involved his friends colin and barry in my scheme. we went to walmart and i got gareth some more gifts to open (since i let him open my original presents already because i didn't think i was going to be here) so i got him a set of martini glasses, and barry suggested getting him some Legos. so i ended up getting him 2 of these really cool lego sets that are like knights with swords and shields, they looked sweet. i also made a sign out of posterboard and pasta that said happy birthday, and we blew up about 50 balloons and scattered them everywhere. barry and colin bought him a children's size bat and ball that talks when you swing. i felt bad when i asked gareth if they did anything for him at work..he said they forgot, and the phone didn't ring either wishing him happy birthday from his family after he got home. his grandmother did send him a card, and his aunt gave him a gift card at the wedding along with his other grandparents. i'm glad i did something for him, it makes me sad to think if i wasn't here he'd be alone for his birthday :( thanks to colin and barry, we pulled off something really fun. i hope gareth liked his day :) More pics.

goodbye gomboo..hopefully

well, starting to actually be able to swallow now, the barfing is under control, and i'm feeling *much* better today! we went to the grocery store this morning and spent a buttload of money, but we were stocking up on groceries for my extra week here. today we've been loafing around, watching constantine, and i've made bacon roll-ups, garlic mozzarella bites, and banana muffins. we're gonna have the guys over again tonight to hang out. we have alot of fun, and we all get along great, so its fun to have other nerdy gamers like myself to hang out with.

you're on my mind

gomboo day #3

well, i'm still sick as hell. last night we went out with g's friends mark & cathy, and barry & colin to a nice restaurant called Moxie's, and I spend 1/2 of the dinner in the bathroom throwing up. i felt better after i got sick, so we ended up going to diegos for drinks and dancing. Here's the pics from Diego's


poor barry, being the nice guy he is, he was our designated driver for the evening (and the only one with a car) and on the way home he got pulled over for speeding and got a ticket :(



today me and gareth took a bus into victoria and went to his work for about 2 hours, then we went into the mall to get something to eat. I went to New York Fries, the best damn place in the world, all they serve is french fries covered in stuff. I got Poutine, which is french fries, cheese curds, and a beef-like gravy. I ended up puking that up about 1/2 hour later though :( I was miserable on the busride back, G's taking good care of me, he's been pampering me while I've been sick, and even brought me flowers :)

got the gomboo

well, during my visit to canada, i have got a bad case of strep throat, an ear infection, and a sinus infection...:( Gareth's mom took me to a clinic yesterday morning (thanks Deb) and i've been laying on the couch for 2 days now, hopefully i'll start being able to swallow soon! Gareth and I decided that it would be good if I stayed here longer, so I have extended my trip until Aug. 29th. I'll have to have phone consultations with my doctors, and my parents have agreed to keep Mikey for me while I'm here. I feel like total ass but I think its getting better after taking the penicillan for the last 2 days.

lighthouse

Gareth, Barry, Colin and me went to Fort Rodd Hill today in Victoria, BC to see the lighthouse, it was so pretty, and we got some cute pics! See the rest
