Been very busy l8tly. Haven't gotten to update daily.
Tuesday afternoon I went rollerblading as usual down at the Riverpark, taking advantage of the beautiful day. I started off where I normally do, down near the boat ramp..and immediately noticed the barge pushing steadily up-river.
It got into my head that I was going to catch up to the barge, which had a good, solid head start on me.. and was moving steadily and quickly towards the lock at the dam. I had the distance of about a mile and a quarter to catch up. At this, I started to push.
It was only about 4/6 of the way up that I tagged the back end of the tug boat. Up ahead I saw the railroad bridge looming in the distance. Judging the speed of the barge and its massive length..(the tugboat was pushing 3 very long barges ahead of it) I set another goal for myself.
I was going to beat the tip of that barge before it crossed to the other side of the railroad bridge.
At one point I felt my lungs were about to come out my mouth, but I kept pushing.
I'll be damned if I didn't make it there a whole minute and six seconds before the tip of that barge passed the other side of the bridge.
God that felt good.
These are the three ducks, that I've named Polly Wolly and Doodle, that live down at RiverPark. They always make such a racket if anyone is in their territoire!
Saw The Last Samurai.
Damn good movie. It really leaves an impression on you. Even a few days later you'll find yourself reflecting on different parts of it.
Its definately worth seeing..and not something you'll soon forget.
Started at Hot Topic Wednesday. Was a lot more fun than I expected. Northgate is not near as crazy as Hamilton Place, and it makes the job much less stressful.
At one point I was up straightening the racks near the store front and all of a sudden I hear this huge *WHAM* against the glass. I FREAKED and yelled out OH SHIT!!!!!!! :x turning to see some guy had thrown himself at the window to scare the shit outta me..
Loreena was across the store and yelled out "WHAT happENED?" she came over and after I explained she laughed and was like, next time be like "AHHH! DEAD BiRD!!!"
