Tonight, lacking anything particularly interesting to do, I ventured yet again into the wilds of North Vancouver. This was originally supposed to be an attempt to play pool. Now, having made the decision to play some pool, one has to find a pool hall. Couldn’t find one for a long time, a reason for this was probably the fact that I refused to look one up in the phone book, assuming that I would find one – just around the corner. Well, I quickly got bored of playing pool anyway, and ended up just driving up around Lynn Valley, and then up in the hills way above West Vancouver – all the time looking for Christmas lights. At least they were a little easier to find than the damn pool hall. I also attempted to go to a movie in North van, but it was sold out. Guess that what I get for going on a Saturday night. Usually, going to a movie, I go on a weekday afternoon, because the theatres are empty and I can sit wherever I want.
Going from Coquitlam to West Van, and back again, I ran into no less than three “Have you been drinking tonight sir”? road checks. At least this time they didn’t even pull me off the side to investigate the blind that shields the back of my car from curious onlookers. Of course, I hadn’t been drinking, and in fact, haven’t since New Years Eve. This is probably why I get so bored sitting at home. Perhaps I should stand.
