Disappointment

well, i have to say that this canada day didn't go quite as planned.

originally, i was going to go back to yellowknife with fancy to attend her 10 year highschool reunion. unfortunately, i had to give up camping with jette and company as they were going for the same time. the plan was set. then I got a job (and took my sweet time about it, which is probably the more important part).

so, due to lack of funding, our plans changed so that it was only fancy going to yellowknife for the weekend. i sent her off on thursday morning and proceeded to continue working for the rest of the week. i consoled myself with knowing that at least i was going to be able to see a nice fireworks display - cause vancouver has to have a good fireworks show, right? wrong. around 7pm on saturday i did a web search to see when and where fireworks were going to take place. i found the events schedule for the big canada place shindig, but alas, no mention fo fireworks. finally, searching some other sites to see what was up, i found a forum entry where someone said that due to some idiots vancouver no longer holds fireworks shows. NO FIREWORKS! damnit. then I fould a site that said burnaby would be having fireworks at 10:30 at deer lake. well, i have a very good view of deer lake, and there were NO fireworks going off at any time between 10 and 11.

very disappointing. no yellowknife, no girlfirend, no camping, no fireworks. just wow and a cat scratching post.

maybe next long weekend will be better. sigh
