I'm Back!
Yes, I'm back home and kicking, for all the ten or so of you who care. I just got back from a road trip with three good friends of mine. It was quite a trip. We traveled up along the west coast with stops at various camp grounds and towns (One of the highlights was our stay in the Hoh Rainforest. That was gorgeous), stopped by the San Juan Islands in Washington, then spent a few days in Vancouver. The resort we stayed in at Orcas Island, called Doe Bay, was really fantastic. The elk there were the most domesticated I've ever seen, and they had a spa with a sauna and dipping baths that took a few years of stress off my shoulders. Good times.
Much to the dismay of my associates upon arriving in Vancouver, the drinking age in British Columbia is 19, rather than 18 like most elsewhere in Canada. Since I don't drink, I didn't care all that much, though I did manage to get by a bouncer just for kicks. Since I don't drink, though, it didn't really matter all that much. We then took I 5 back home, with a few detours when traffic got bad (4th of July weekend and all). Saw some really bizarre towns along the way. Well, bizarre from our perspective. We also stopped by Crater Lake in Washington, which was amazing beyond words.
So yeah, that's the trip in a nutshell. I'll post some photographs I took once I get around to uploading them, and if you'd like to hear more, give me a buzz. Besides a few arguments and an allergic reaction I received to a few (21!) spider bites on my arm, the whole thing was a blast. Not any European epic or anything, but fulfilling nonetheless.
Now I have all of July before I embark to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Trying not to think about that right now...
So, that's enough about me. I'll get back to my movie reviews as well as a few other things I want to throw up, and hopefully try and get some more readership for this deal. If you have any suggestions, do let me know. Need to feed my ego, dontcha know.
I'll try and put up my thoughts on Paths of Glory tonight after I watch Alphaville.
