11/19/2002 Archived Entry: "Rain rain rain...I don't mind...."

It's been a few days since I wrote here, it's been insanely busy. In my usual when-I-get-incredibly-lacking-in-time style I will point-form it today:

• The wedding went really well :) Pics are here. I'm a happily married man, Jen is wonderful and sweet and I can't imagine living without her.
  
• I hate Continental Airlines. The seats are about 3 inches smaller than the ones at American Airlines, the food is crappier, the planes are kept too hot, and they make basically no effort to please anyone except the first class passengers. When we were getting on the plane and trying to get past the many people standing in the aisle and putting their bags in the overhead compartment, the flight attendants were already serving drinks to the first class and getting in the way. I swear, I am never flying Continental again.
  
• Canadian Immigration went very smoothly, Jen now has a 6 month visitors visa, which can be extended if she doesn't get her landed immigrant status within that time.
  
• The weather in Vancouver is awful. I mean it was Addams Family Gloomy yesterday and today, I am really looking forward to a little sun. I got completely soaked in the 2 minutes walk between home and the skytrain.
  
• Yesterday we went shopping...bought pillows, mattress pad, various home stuff. We looked at furniture and lighting and are planning what we want in here. Also are thinking about the colours and styles we want in the bathroom. I think Jen and I will get along great in this department. We are looking at these cable lighting systems that use clamp-on 12-volt halogen lights.
  
• Today was my first day back to work...pretty busy in the morning and easing off in the afternoon. Typical Tuesday.
  
• Jen came down and met me for lunch and afterwards I gave her the big tour of the offices and introduced her to the people I like there. After that she went to the mall underneath my building and shopped for hours. Her poor feet got tired and sore and blistered :( She stayed there and met me after work for the trip home.
  
• Before we got home though we met with Rich and our mutual friend Bill for dinner at TGIFridays. Lots of good laughs and talk about our various sordid histories. Also a chance for Jen to meet my friends and them to meet her.
  
• Got home, sorted my crap in the closet. It's truly amazing how much clothes even someone like me who basically doesn't care about clothing can accumulate. I am throwing away (giving away, I hope) a garbage bag full of clothing.
