Home for a....rest?
I arrived back in Waterloo last Tuesday and it's been a crazy couple days so far. The first night back I checked out the new Bomber setup - quite nice, mostly how I had imagined it would be. This was followed by a trip to Barber's place for a BBQ he was throwing. He wanted some help finishing a keg of beer so Moose, Thudds and Riley and I graciously offered our services.
The next night was a Bomber Wednesday where we rocked up at midnight and it took me 15 minutes just to get past the front door cause there were so many people to see and talk to. Things change, staff change and the patrons change but Bomber will always have its Wednesday nights...and they're back to Rock'n'roll!
Thursday was the day I discovered my car is broken. And was supposed to be a quiet night at McMullen's with some pitchers and pizza but Moose and I ran into Radey and Kate Lattik which eventually led to some sampling of rye and gingey's at Caesar Martini's...only $2.50! I miss having at least one place in town on any given night that had cheap drinks.
Friday was the Joel Plaskett concert up at Fed Hall. F'ing brilliant! Another thing I miss - the up and coming rock scene. Fresh music and free concerts...
Saturday was homecoming - a football game vs Laurier that we almost won (things haven't changed that much), hanging out with Brent, SKurt, Kyle and a whole other gang that I haven't seen in at least a year if not longer. Homecoming at Bomber was a great sight - people lined up for miles trying to get in, bartenders scrambling around to keep up to an older crowd with a youthful exuberance to recapture their glory days at their favourite campus pub.
And Sunday was a day of rest. Lieing (sp?) on a couch all day watching shows that I haven't watched in a while...or just enjoying so many channels that you can create your own Simpsons-athon.
Choice!
And now I've got the wonderful task of fixing a car that hasn't been started in a year. Working on getting another visa, planning a flight through Vancouver to see friends, two weddings in two weekends, seeing my family, cleaning up all my crap that I accumulated throughout uni and approximately one metric buttload of other little things I haven't even thought of yet....
Home for a rest, my ass. This is the moste stress I've seen in months. Missin Australia's laid back, cruisy attitude/atmosphere already.
