Being Weird Isn't Enough

Busy Day

I felt like getting out of Kamloops for the day, so I drove to Kelowna for some fun and shopping. I thought my trip was going to be ruined as I drove there b/c 18 km outside of Kelowna airport, traffic came to an absolute standstill. I had no idea what was going on till I listened to the radio. There was some rock scaling going on, so in total I was only stuck for about 20 min. My parents also decided to go to Kelowna today so I met up with them for lunch at the Whitespot which was nice.

When I go to Kelowna I usually have a check list for things that I have to do there that I can't do in Kamloops. The one thing that I usually do is play indoor mini golf at Scandia, but since I went by myself this time I skipped out on it. The next thing I have to do is get in some games of 10 pin. This time around I didn't do as well. My high game was only 147 which really pissed me off. I got robbed of strikes so many times. Of course I rationalize my shity playing with not playing in like 8 months and the fact that I have bowled a lot of 5 pin in that time. Last summer all my games were between 180 and 220. That takes care of the fun stuff. Although when summer hits I will either do some more seadooing or parasailing.

Next I had to visit Spencer's Gift, HMV, A and B sound, and Bang On. I had a $10 off at Spencers I had to use up before the end of the month so I ended up buying my brother Kill Bill Vol. 2 figures. I wanted to buy a goblet and 'The Who' belt buckle but the cup didn't hold enough and they didn't have my buckle. Maybe next time. I was hoping that they would have Neca Cult classic Series 3 figures b/c one of then is a Dawn of the Dead figure that I really want. So now I'm going to have to wait a month for that. Then I have to visit my dvd stores and as per usual I ended up with more than I thought I would. On DVD I bought:

Crocodile Dundee 2
Uncommon Valor
Near Dark
Life is Beautiful
South Park Season 7
Psycho 3
Quick Change
Derailed
Return of the Living Dead 2

Then I wanted to visit Bang On for a new belt buckle but there wasn't any that really sparked my interest. I sorta liked the Superman symbol but I thought I really didn't need it. Then when I went to Chapters I was hoping to find a copy of Ethan Hawke's The Hottest State and The Walking Dead, but they didn't have either. Kamloops also no longer has a Burger King so I had to get some BK for dinner. Not having a BK sucks. I really loved their Bacon Double cheese burgers, and it was so close to where I live. I gave myself I laugh as I drove home and just had to wave my bag of BK in front of some cows as I drove by. Hehe.

Then tonight I met with my friend and booked our plane tickets to London. I now officially leave April 30th and come back May 5th. I was a little bit tempted not to even go and just keep all the money that I worked so hard to get over the past year. But as I said I was only a little tempted.

The driving also gave me the time to just think and listen to some tunes. Now its time to just sit in my bed, chill and watch some movies. Oh ya, one last thing "Kelowna Drivers and Traffic Lights Suck!"
