Met Liang for dinner & drinks at Steamworks after work. I got there about quarter past four and they hadn't yet put on the hockey game (which started at four) in the lounge area. When I asked the server if he could put it on, he came back and told me apparently it was a bet the bartenders were having to see how long it would take someone to ask. While I was waiting on my own I got to enjoy this view of the fog creeping in across the inlet; it was so beautiful I wanted to scream.

For some reason even though I was still really sick I went out and did things after work? I don't know what my deal is.

Went to Maple Ridge to have dinner with Alice & my parents. We went to the Billy Miner, a pub down by the wharf & railway which was built around 1910, but as long as I could remember it was a seedy dive frequented by sad old men and train commuters.
In the past couple years, though, they've revamped their menu while keeping the old-town ambience about the place and now have a focus on gourmet burgers & craft beer. The food is so great that everyone puts up with the crummy service — our waitress, for instance, while sweet, took three tries to open a bottle of wine because she wasn't putting the corkscrew in all the way, brought two of us the wrong side dish, and forgot to bring us our leftovers.

I framed my print for This Is East Van finally, and dropped it off at the gallery. Then I went to meet Jeff for dinner in Gastown, but the place we wanted to try (The Judas Goat) is closed Mondays. We ended up just going to Steamworks, which has good beer and acceptable food.

After work Liang and I met up for drinks at the Alibi Room, and once we'd gotten a couple of beers in we walked up to Goldie's for a delicious mushroom pizza and another beer. Then we, uh, went to her place for awhile.

After work, I met up with Kaylie for a few drinks at the Alibi Room and Jeff joined us later on. We had a good long chat and then Kaylie had to leave, and Jeff also had a housewarming to go to. I didn't feel like a party so I just went home and ate leftover pizza.

Jeff and I celebrated our anniversary with dinner at a newish place at Waterfront Station called Rogue. It was a lovely restaurant with pretty great (nothing creatively mindblowing, but thoroughly delicious) food and amazing sangria. Felisha works as a hostess there; I was surprised to see her when we walked in, and even more surprised when she gave us a free dessert because we were celebrating! Mmm, free pie...

It's difficult to resist taking standard tourist photos from viewpoints; I don't know how many times I've stood in this spot near Canada Place and still felt inspired to pull out my camera.

Day 4: Epcot again. We walked around the World Showcase and had an absolutely incredible dinner at a Moroccan restaurant called Makkaresh.

Waiting for the Subway at 125th and Broadway, near our friend's apartment. Apparently this is the only above-ground station in Manhattan. Everywhere else is underground and sauna-like.

Just for kicks, I rode the Canada Line with Steph and Tams and Danielle. They hadn't gotten around to putting up ads in the stations and on the trains yet, which is kind of nice.

Creepy empty skytrain car on the way back from Suz's in New West.

I feel like I took this photo before

I walked over 4km today around my neighbourhood. The damned Port of Vancouver kept getting in the way.
