Does anyone out there need to know what I do at work all day?

Well, let me tell you!
I e-mail my friends!

And I blog like a woman gone mad.
And then there's the 'researching' of new restaurants I want to eat at....

Here. Here's a fine example of the kind of elevated conversation that goes on here on a daily basis.


ME: I've just spent over $600 dollars on my car in less than a week.

W: Cars are expensive pieces of property...
Expensive to buy, maintain, insure, drive, ... Did I miss anything?

ME: No, I think you covered everything there!

W: Our problem is that we live in a city where it is either very difficult or impossible to be with out a car….

ME: Yeah...but you know, if all my friends and family lived in my area (say, at least all in Vancouver) then I wouldn't REALLY need a vehicle.
I lived for one whole year without a car while I was in Courtenay, and it wasn't so bad.

W: Still ... getting from your place to work cannot be all that easy - unless you can bum a ride from someone...

ME: Oh, yeah, for sure.
But along with that little day dream was me having a job close to my gorgeous house overlooking English bay.
Of course.

W: I actually had a job in Yaletown and lived downtown for a while... It was pretty nice - walked to work & to/from the bar.
I only used my car for weekend get aways and for grocery shopping...

ME: That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

W: But then my job changed... And moved out to Richmond... And I do like owning a car...

ME: Well, I like the FREEDOM a car provides me.
Heck, if I REALLY felt like it, I could drive to New York from here.

W: Dat be true...

ME: Or Memphis.

W: I suppose.

ME: OR, a small town in South Dakota.
I'm just sayin', is all.

W: Or Spuzzum?

ME: Yeah, Spuzzum.
But no. Not Spuzzum.

W: ;-(

ME: Don't be sad.

W: Spuzzum? :-0

ME: Um. No.

W: I guess I will just have to go by myself - but don't expect a t-shirt with "My friend went to Spuzzum and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"

ME: It should read "My friend went to lousy Spuzzum. And I didn't."

W: ic

ME: You laughed, I could HEAR you all the way over here!

W: Maybe I did ... Maybe I didn't...

ME: HUMPH!

W: ic

ME: I need a new blog...can I use this one (I'll change your name to protect your 'so-called innocence' if you like...)

W: And how would this discussion be of any interest to anyone but us?? And even then I think it is touch and go...

ME: You'll see.
I'll spice it up.
Now. Yea or nay?
I can call you Douglas. No one will ever know it was you.

W: I am not a Douglas...

ME: Raymondo? (you'll have to rrrrrroll the 'r')

W: Haha ... Ok now that is funny!!! But No... Not Raymondo...


and on and on and on and on
