Saturday party

I'd like to say that for our first Saturday morning alone since I don't remember when we slept late - truth is we woke up ridiculously early for some reason... at least we didn't get up before nine. Everything was peaceful - we ate breakfast while watching Smackdown (no, honestly, it was peaceful), and just took it easy - I spent several hours chatting to Henri on Yahoo and we left to do some shopping around noon.

I've been thinking about spending some money I should come to any day now, and we agreed in January that once that happened we should buy one of those recordable DVD players with a hard drive. Currently my favourite is Sony's RDRHX900 - despite promising myself earlier that I wouldn't get their DVD players anymore. However, this player has a big hard drive, eats any format DVDs, seems to be getting decent reviews - and the model I was previously considering (a Panasonic) has gotten horrific usability complaints from may of it's users, one of my pet hates. So we went to local Sony Store to have a look at it, and it seems indeed sweet. One of these days...

On our way back we stumbled across a Marihuana Party demonstration on Denman (so if you see any photos of us with it, it was only because we were walking the same way!). The demonstration was mostly full of hippies of all ages, and was of course followed by a thick could of smoke. Vancouverites have a very relaxed attitude towards pot, and most shopkeepers and customers stood outside smiling (if not cheering). Call me a stiff - but personally I don't see any reason for legalising a substance that does harm to individuals and possibly to the community. I recon large part of Vancouverites likes to puff now and again - but less would like to legalize it, and even less people would actually vote for a single issue party like BC Marihuana Party. We'll see what happens on May 17th when they hold the provincial elections here.
