Answer: I'd shake it...or how I ended up walking 30 blocks for mediocre chai

Question: What would you do with a bigger ass?

Vacations are gold, I walked all over Vancouver for 6 hours. My feet don't hurt so much as they tingle. There are so many places I need to check out tomorrow, but first I need to find a Fido store. My phone, which I dropped within hours of opening the package, has started making this weird high-pitched buzzing noise. Not cool.

Technology and I are currently not on speaking terms after my camera dispalyed a fatal error message within 8 hours of purchase. Also not cool. I decided to buy a camera yesterday out of necessity. I didn't want to come to Vancouver, and not take any pictures. I told myself that I would just buy the camera I was craving in Tuxedo Black instead of Vivacious Violet. Except when I went to turn it on at 2am this morning, I got this angry little error message in the corner of my LCD display, boo!

My first mission in Van was to find a Future Shop, so that I could exchange the camera, I also ended up forking out an additional $70 for the warranty; if my current luck is any indication of what is to come, I'll probably get good use out of it. We passed a store called 'Speaker City' and it reminded me of Waffle, then we walked to the Granville Farmer's Market and I saw a sign for Anderson St. and it reminded me of Pancake.

I'm staying in Kitsilano (with an old friend from rez), literally across the street from the building that stands in for the CAC in the L Word (it's where Bette works). I'm a two-second walk from the Granville Island Farmer's Market and this Marina.

We walked everywhere, through Gastown, up and down Commercial St., went to three different coffee shops, and even to W. Hastings, although I really didn't know where I was going at the time.

Tomorrow is the big day, the concert of a lifetime. Nada Surf is playing at Richard's on Richards - should be pretty sweet as Inara George and Rogue Wave are opening up for them. I'm going to attempt to find Zulu Records, this record shop that has a lot of free concert posters (my latest obsession for those of you keeping track). Also, I'd like to find the cupcake shop, but I honestly don't see myself being able to walk very far tomorrow.

I'll post some picture from my trip so far after my new camera is finished charging.

(p.s. my goal is to take like 1700 pics this weekend, just because I can, with my new 1GB memory card. Quantity over quality is the theme of the trip.)
