Have a nice day
Spent a peaceful morning with Dragon watching new episodes of Galactica (which continues with as high standard as ever) and Stargate Atlantis (which I think had the first really good episode so far with Before I sleep, but I'm sucker for this kind of stuff).
Weather was clear and sunny, altough a bit nippy, but we headed out to strech our legs. Not looking to buy anything particular, but just walking around town, looking at windows and enjoying the athmosphere. Went to the bookshop and the comic store, of course, but left empty handed from both. Had a look at some stereos at Futureshop and decided that no matter how cool the $70 system was, the sound was crap, and further decided that decent systems would cost around $250. Not bad.
On our way home we bought some decadent donuts and wraps - it seems that because at weekends we leave out so late, by the time we get hungry it's around four, and that's too late for most places that serve lunch. I was also reminded that despite the mild weather here, it's really winter as when we were walking home the sun was already setting. When weather is this nice the view from our living room window is especially spectacular - in the morning I could actually see Mt. Baker (a big mountain across the border), but when the dusk is setting and the sky is getting dark, at the same time the city is slowly lighting up... absolutely beautiful.
