The Chinook Arch
It's a wondrous thing... the sky is clear... blue... the sun is beaming down and to the west one can see a hazy arch of clouds over the mountains. It's like a halo... and it brings a fantastic jetstream of warm air from over the mountains. It feels like Spring, but it's February. It's +10C today and I love it.
I'm finally working in the city (my first actual paid gig here since moving). What's the big new job? You can find me behind the bar at the Big Secret Theatre. One Yellow Rabbit has procured the services of yours truly to sling beer, coffee, and assorted bevvies to thirsty theatre goers in the lobby at the Epcor Centre. The current show "Bigger Than Jesus" is a decent hit, and the Rabbits (as they are known) love to party, so it's been a good week.
Even though this isn't a "real job", it's seems real enough right now. I'm meeting all the cool kids in town, and it's an honour to be considered "one of the Rabbits". Besides, I've always fancied myself behind the bar. I'm having a ball... hopefully the novelty won't rub off right away.
The gang of Bunnies has been nothing but welcoming. On Saturday good friend Daiva, brother Jordan and girlfriend? Lindsay led the way to Broken City. It's a live music club, not unlike Silver Dollar in TO. On stage was Leeroy Stagger. He and his band kept the audience crammed right up to the stage. I liked this club. The crowd was an excellent mix of the best looking and hippest alterna-boys and alterna-girls.
Now I just have to go back next week in hopes of again meeting the cute boy who I was chatting with about tall ships (of all things). WHY! didn't I get his number the first time... ack.
Now if someone could tell me how to post pictures on this damn site, I'd share some shots of me and good friend Tim, and new friend Jenn hiking in the hills past Lake Louise last week. Damn, those mountains are good for the soul. Who needs the sea when one has mountain lakes, streams and pine trees. Seriously.
Ok, everyone get ready to send good Karma my way in the form of about a dozen call backs that I'm waiting for from potential employers. I mean I love sending resumes and all, but how 'bout an INTERVIEW people!
