Caution: Meandering blog entry!

In point form, here’s a few thoughts from my life recently:

• Hitchhiker’s Guide wasn’t the movie I was hoping it would be — Although it had some entertaining parts, it could have been much funnier. I’m sticking to the books if I need some HHG laughs. Wait for the rental is my suggestion to those who haven’t seen it yet.
• The new theatre, Paramount Vancouver, is quite nice inside — Has everything you’d expect of a newer theatre including the high-priced food. It’s great to have another comfortable theatre within walking distance, and it’s about time Vancouver upgraded some of their theatres.
• I went to my very first opera ever — The Masked Ball — And Jeremy’s seats were really quite fantastic. I enjoyed the infusion of society and culture for the evening, and the show itself was well done. One of the singers was truly outstanding compared to the rest — The lead female. My only complaint was that some of the scenes seemed to drag on a bit. What do I know — I’m “Instant Gratification Girl”.
• I finally took my neice out for her birthday dinner last night, a month late — Jeremy came along as well, which was appreciated (I’m really not very good with kids, but I try) and afterwards we all went to Queen’s Park to wear off some of the pasta we consumed earlier at La Spagetteria.
• I’m rowing regularily now, and have finally found a rowing buddy that is well-matched. Although A and I have rowed together in the past, it’s been quite a while since, and we’ve now found a great shell that works well for us both. It’s *so* nice to be rowing with someone regularily again (changing up the crew every time and not knowing what I’ll be rowing is never fun), and A and I get along quite well off the water as well.
• I’ve turned into Supplement-Chick lately!! I’m now taking 8 different supplements a day (including grape seed extract, multivitamins, iron, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, 5-HTP, and omega 3 & 6 fatty acids.) It reminds me of the days I took Herbalife regularily… So many damned capsules. I feel better for it, though. Except today… Today I feel like I’m coming down with a cold, but so far, it’s only a sore throat so I hope it goes away.

Okay, back to work I go. I have a lot of work to finish before I leave for rowing in an hour…
