blue_lotus13The apartment therapy book and the constraints of my very small apartment inspired me to do some major purging this weekend. I took a bunch of stuff to the Salvation Army, donated books to the library, threw out a few things and recycled some more! I'm still not completely done, but my space is lighter!! I realized that I hadn't even gone through some of the boxes since I'd left Vancouver, and it was time to get rid of things.
I don't have much to say lately- work is fine, the weather here is rainy like Vancouver, I'm reading and watching a lot of movies and I haven't been having any particularly deep thoughts or weird revelations lately.
One thing I've noticed about people in Grande Prairie is they haven't figured out how to pick up their cans or bottles. A lot of people even throw them in the trash or dumpsters, which drives me nuts. Today I walked the equivalent of about 5 blocks downtown and picked up about 13 cans and bottles. Unfortunately, one of them had beer in the bottom, which I didn't dump out properly, which means I was walking around smelling like beer while doing my daily errands.
I don't drink beer, but one of the beer cans that I picked up was for Dude beer. If I was a beer drinker, I would totally drink Dude. You could make such jokes as "Dude, where's my beer, Dude?", "Pass me a Dude, dude, and answer "What are you drinking?" by saying "Dude!"
Tonight I have to attend an event called "The Chair affair", which will be organized and put on by a group of non-profit social organizations called "The Community Village." The event will raise money for social programs in GP. At risk indivuals in the community built Adionrack (sp) chairs, which were then decorated by artists in the community. The chairs will be auctioned off tonight to raise funds. I'm going to be taking pictures. I'm looking forward to the event, but am not really looking forward to being outside in the rain. I'll just dress warmly, and hope they will be serving hot chocolate.
