Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness  

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Thanks for all the fish.

See, that's my main motivation for going out on Mondays.... ... .. ..

Yeah, I hate it when the crazy person tries to act like they're not crazy.

With my sister, she really thinks she's the only sane person in a world of madmen. It's bizarre when you realize that's her world view.

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?

Dinner on Monday... That should certainly be possible. I'll have to check with The Sleeping One when she wakes up to confirm, but it sounds good to me.

As for places to go, the two of us usually eat at one of the Bayers Lake resturants (Jack Astor's, East Side Mario's, etc) since they're so close by. But I'm always up for a new place, just so long as there's enough parking for my Beast to find a spot.

For easier contact, you folks can catch me on both Yahoo Messenger and AIM under the name of HippieGriff.

Hope to nosh with ya Monday.

Elena, B and I might be available this afternoon for games, weather permitting. I'd like to keep an eye on the snow situation before committing to driving anywhere.

Let me know when you are up - probably phoneing is better.

Monday dinner out sounds good. Will Trudy still be here?

Griffin, do you watch Buffy or are you a Firefly fan?

Both. Been a Buffy fan since ever since the movie (anyone else ever wanted Pike to make an appearance on the show?) and have just gotten hooked on Firefly in time for it to be cancelled *grumble*. But I'm not into Angel and havn't followed that show for quite some time.

Is it still snowing in Halifax? It started about 1 AM here, and it's still coming down. I'd say there's about 25-30 cms on the ground. They haven't bothered to begin plowing either so we're kind of trapped. (And I'm the only able-bodied shoveller -- Yikes!!!)

My dad will have to break out the snowshoes to make it to the Jr. Hockey game he has tickets for tonight.

Megan, how was your Christmas?

The snow seems to have stopped here. Doesn't look like more than 15 cm or so on the ground, but I havn't been outside yet to determine an accurate measure. Overall, not nearly as bad as we'd feared.

Looks like moving will be happening tomorrow and Saturday. See what I get for not paying attention? But dinner on Monday is definately a possible, just need to determine where. And even the new roomie (also a Buffy fan) was interested in meeting other Haligonian Buffy fans, so maybe we can get a ride in her ultimately more parkable vehicle if the place of dining is toward downtownish.

Thanks for all the fish.

Trudy leaves very early on January 4th. Griff, the place we will go, at least for drinks, is the Fireside, which is on Brenton street, just above Spring Garden. Street parking is possible, but you can also park in the lot behind Shoppers. I work until 7pm, so meeting at the Fireside at 7 works great. We can at least have drinks, there will be a bunch of us, so we might have to eat a little spread out.

I slept until 1:30; Brian woke me when everybody else was up. I had no problem getting home. Called a cab and it only took 5 minutes to get to the store, even though they said it could be as long as an hour wait. The driving was slow, but not horrible.

We are TTT bound tomorrow. Does anyone want to get together this weekend?

I'm glad to hear you made it home okay, Elena.

I'm also very glad that my parent's neighbor is a superior human being and cleared our driveway with his snowblower. Before he cleared his own even. So I only had to shovel the walk and a little around the car.

I would be into doing something this weekend. I'll probably get home Saturday afternoon.

Still haven't seen TTT. My sister wants to go, but she's a talker, and I'd probably have to kill her.
