starbucks i love you

ok so im sat in starbucks in china town looking out at the pearl of victoria ( a giant metal globe with all the victorias in the world marked on it ) and the gates of harmonious intrest
its the oldest chinatown in bc and the second oldest in north america ( only san frans is older )
sooo oooh what have i been up to
lots is the easy answer lots of working in sportschek which im loving
selling blades hockey skates bikes footballs and other sorts of random crap to the unsuspecting public yay :)
and pedicabbing is as fun as ever i loooove this job big time even just hanging out after a shift with elisha and mike the mechanic just chillaxing out in the yard in the camping chairs with the stereo blaring rock fm or something like that and a coooool beer in your hand oh man you cannot repeat cannot beat this
so yeh funny story timmy one of the aussies working for us had a tour up to craigdarroch castle and he forgot the way so took these poor japanese tourists to the governer general's house ( they hadnt even seen a picture of the castle so they didnt know any better ) and told them that was the castle they of course beleived him
but on the way back they passed some of the vpc guys and they have a picture of the castle on it so the tourists were all wtf did we see
and timmy thinking on his feet was oh yeh guys thats what it looked like before it burned down and the totally beleived it so major props for tim for A getting a great tip and B totally pulling it off

oh yeh and me and tim were waiting for a pre arranged trip and this couple come up to us being all whats the scam then guys
cue us what do we loolk like were scammers then to each other oh yeh just coz were foreign think were up to no good
the couple laughed and the guy was like well ive never trusted gingers or aussie s

our reply was fair dinkum

they loved it scored a cheeky tour for a rookie

anyway wer having a costume party next monday night so me elishhhh nate colin and rob headed out to value village =to get something
we ended up with several kids size costumes (ive got a monkey with a tail ears and a banana in hand tooo :) )
nate nearly got us kicked outa the store too after we found a dinosaur godzillaesk costume he squeezed into most of it imagine the feet at his knees and the hands by his elbows
he then proceeded to stomp around the store roaring at everyone
this included a couple of little kids who pretty much bricked it ran to their mum and started crying

then there was some lady going down another isle so nate runs down our isle and like peers round roaring at her she starts arguing and so nate just roars at her some more

then we see some staff heading our way so we headed to the tills
good times


and i got a tape player so james lent me a couple of tapes they include spindoctors pocket full of kryptonite ( the one with two princes on !!!) and the beach boys and the beach boys entire tape is about blummin cars i mean i like cars but a whole tape of 'lil poop scoop you dont know what i got ' is a lil much but im kinda loving it for the chill vibes on my balcony lol

on the whole balcony subject i dont think i could manage without one now
its perfect for post / pre work chilling in my comfy chair with the beach boys soothing tones playing and a blue buck beer in hand
or kokanee (its cheap and beery)
blue buck is a local brew to get to mine it goes up 1 block and accross 2 so thats pretty much from purple moose to the spoon in comparison
i do miss non fizzy beer though
