Weekly Bits of Awesome April 15-21

Hello Lovely People!

This week's little bits of awesome :)


- Went out for breakfast a lot, including at a horrible hotel restaurant near my friends house (it was only good because it was so horrible) and The Reef, a cool jerk chicken place! Highly recommend it (get the pineapple shake)!
- Went to the Bird Sanctuary out in Langley! It was AMAZING! For an extra dollar you could buy bird seed and feed the Sandhill Cranes from your hand! There were plenty of rare ducks, some truly annoying Canadian geese, lots of little blackbirds and a couple of young (and adult) bald eagles! It's definitely somewhere you can go during nay season as the bird selection changes through the seasons.
- Discovered how to access the roof on my school (couldn't actually access it, but now I know how!) Also, in the process, discovered a random sunny alcove way up where no one ever goes that is perfect for reading!
- Went to a Game of Thrones get together, complete with BBQ! Episode three of season three was fantastically awkward, it was great!
- Saw Jurassic Park in 3D! I'm not a big 3D fan, but this one actually made it work (if only for the beautiful dinosaur shots). Also discovered this hilarious Hey! Jurassic Park video  afterwards!
- Bought a Bodhran drum! I have progressed to being able to hold it and the stick correctly, though I can still only play the most minimal of beats. Still, it's something!
- Had a bit of a birthday celebration shared with room-mates birthday. We tried to go out on the town but then realized it was a Friday and everything was packed, so the party ended up being at our house involving copious amounts of balloon throwing and Cards against Humanity!
- Walked by the Vancouver Art Gallery on 4/20. Translation: 5,000 pot smokers were crowded outside it, selling paraphernalia, listening to eclectic music and, of course, smoking up. The set up was even completed with a giant, smoking joint. It was certainly interesting to see.
- Went to a Wine and Cheese event involving a large amount of the people whom I'm going to Sasquatch Music Festival with! Consequentially  the wine made us want to do ALL THE THINGS AT SASQUATCH!! And now we all want to go. Right now. Also Jenga was played as well as turned into a domino structure, twas great!
- Walked by the Vancouver Sun Run as they were starting, GOD a lot of people do that! I vow to do it next year. YES! It can happen!
- Made a fort in Brother-From-Another-Mother's living room! Nothing feels better than sleeping in a fort.
- Went "bird" (cosplay) watching at the Fan Expo to see if there were any epic costumes! We couldn't actually afford to go to the convention, but we made it far enough into the centre to see some pretty good costumes, including: A Calvin and Hobbes, a hot Aragorn holding an adorable baby in a cloak, a HellGirl, a couple dozen Doctors, a Red and Blue, a Loki, LOTS of Batman characters, bundles of people in Adventure Time hats, Amon and his minions from The Legend of Korra, Axel and other Organization members from Kingdom Hearts, A Mal Reynolds, a few Ghostbusters and Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo Jumbo! Cosplayers are fantastic!

That's all for this week! Till the next post, keep on smiling!
