Who ya gonna call?

Last night was pretty impressive.

I can't be bothered to go into full details. I picked up on a lot and did a couple of pictures; one of a man we called Billy who had drowned in a car crash on the way to work and a black lady named Anna who had been involved with a senior member of the government in the early 50s.

I saw a lot, too. Full-body shadow beings, primarily.

There was a fucking hilarious moment when my team walked into the Operations floor, expecting to be alone, me in the lead, and ahead of me I suddenly see a black figure walk out of the gents.

I gave a tiny, "Wuh!" of surprise, but immediately realised it was a member of another group.

The women behind me went, "WAAAH!" because I went "Wuh!"

For some entirely unknown reason, we all then went, "WaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaRGH!!!" in terror.

Shortly thereafter, we all fell over laughing.

We also all went out and watched the lunar eclipse, in the middle of the Essex countryside, which was nice.

I got home at 6.30am, got up just after noon, and resultantly, I'm exhausted now. I have work tomorrow. WAH. (WaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaagh!)

Less than three weeks to Vancouver, though. WOO!

omg. if you love gay guys... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to Odyssey on Thursday night, cause you get to see gay guys completely friggen naked in the showers! no kidding! it was one of the best clubs i went to! they play great music, the drink prices were pretty reasonable (as of 2 years ago) and the men they had dancing were HOTT as hell. they might do the shower thing on other nights now too, but i know for sure they do it on thursdays. http://www.gayvancouver.bc.ca/cgi-bin/frame/webframe.pl?http://www.theodysseynightclub.com that should give you lots of info. i also went here, and they were pretty cool. http://www.clubvibes.com/listings/listingsdetail.asp?id=61 if you want to check out any other clubs, go here. http://www.clubvibes.com/index.asp?city=1 they have a decent list, but i can't stress enough going to a book store before hand and checking out a visitor's guide for some of the cool places to go. i would REALLY suggest going to their Chinatown, cause it's pretty decent, along with looking for a building with the address 666 (i don't remember which street, but it's one of the main ones). i love the fact that it's addy is 666 and it has all red glass windows. that made me laugh :-)

i'm rambling... and i don't know if you are much of a club goer... but the nightlife there is really good. and DEFINITELY go to Odyssey, if for nothing else than to see gay men dancing naked in showers. it's totally worth it!

I really hate nightclubs, have no interest in people dancing in showers and really, I generally prefer to keep my gay guys fictional, but thanks for the tip! :D

lol thats fine. i didn't think you were too much of one to go to nightclubs anyways, but it never hurts to tell ya just in case you decide you do want somewhere to go!!

if you get a chance to go to the University of British Columbia, their museum of Anthropology is pretty cool. it's about an hour's drive out of the city (if i remember correctly), but worth it. also....The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, [43]. The first full-sized classical Chinese garden outside China. It is located in China town on the edge of downtown Vancouver. sorry.. had to copy and paste. it's really quite beautiful and relaxing, though kinda small. if you go there, and you like Asian food, i would suggest checking out some of the restaurants and shops in Chinatown. they have quite a few good restaurants there.

Gastown is also very cool, they have some really nice old buildings and such. and i think it's called the Pacific Center (?) is like a big underground shopping mall type of thing. i won't lie... stuff is kinda expensive, but still not a horrible way to spend the day.

last thing... i would suggest walking everywhere. taxis aren't too expensive if you aren't going far, but the city is soo insanely beautiful and clean, it's worth it to walk (as long as it's not too cold!). when i was there, we had a hotel at one end of the downtown area and walked all the way to the ocean roads on the way to Chinatown. it was a long walk... but very enjoyable.

i can't remember if you said exactly why you were going there... but how long are you staying? i REALLY want to go back, it's been a few years since i've been.

btw... their airport is soo cool! lol, i'm a dork, i know. but it's really nice inside, and they have big sculptures and stuff, and it feels like you are in a museum in certain parts of it.

We're going for about a week and a half and staying downtown, as well, so thanks for that! I adore Asian food (not so cool on the Indian side, mind) and it sounds great.

We're going on holiday for now, but are planning on moving out there next May. Hopefully.

i remember you saying you wanted to move out there. so that is exciting! i definitely wouldn't mind living out there.

there is a huge Asian population there, so LOTS of Asian restaurants. that was one of my favorite parts. good food everywhere!

i hope you take some pictures and post them. that would be fabulous!

I think Julie and I will set up a collecting LJ just for that, so I can show my colleagues without showing them this LJ.

[icyaurora8.livejournal.com]

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Hehe - definitely.
