I hope that this is the start of something epic

Last time we left our heroine, she had just gotten back from spending a few days with family in Olympia. She was amping up for Xmas cheer or something.. lets see how that went!

On Thursday I hung out with my bio mom, brother, god kids and my mom's current project child. My bio mom is a freelance social worker.

We went downtown, had lunch ( annoying video below), did some shopping, then went on the carousel! This was the 2nd time the this month ( there is another annoying video, it is sideways. YAY!) I was calling my little brother a terrorist all day because he has A REALLY BIG BEARD!

One of the godkids, the other one was making a bratty face :D

Then later that day I went to a friends house to drink and play board games. It was really fun.

The next day, I woke up, went and ate sushi with some friends, then I went over to Matt's house where he made, me, Jenny and Kate dinner. Then we went to Ben Dela Creme's Homo For The Holidays! It was magical I had a GAY OL' TIME!

I picked up Peter after that then went home and watched an episode of Desert Punk and then.. PASSED OUT!

Matt and Jenny came over the next morning and help me eat all the food I made too much on Xmas morning and we also did presents. Peter got me these mittens! Jenny got me this picture and then also matted this picture of us. Matt got me these.

Then we went about the rest of our days until later on when it was movie time.
Peter and I watched Return of the Living Dead 3 while we digested lunch and then kinda napped. Then we decided to observe the time honored Jewish tradition of eating Chinese food on Xmas.

We then went and saw RARE EXPORTS! I am about to do some spoiler action. But really.. I can't contain how much I fucking love this movie.

I blogged about this movie earlier in the month, I was/am epically excited about how rad it is. So, I was under the impression that it was Santa is a serial killer.. but really it was much more amazing than that. In the movie, the main character and hero is a little boy who is really clever and amazing. I know that because he is Finnish it way cooler than his American counter part would be. The kid figures out that the Russian/American/British scientists that are doing some drilling up in the volcano near his house excavated Santa! However, after that happen weird shit started to go down. Eventually, there is a creepy old man that likes to bite people creeping about the kids house. The dad is a total badass and accidentally traps the creepy man in a bear/wolf pit. They try to ransom him to the scientist because they think that they caught Santa.. but they didn't! That creepy man was an elf. A tall, white haired, white beard, running around naked in the snow with his dongle flopping about elf. Not only that.. but the elf.. isn't the only elf there is an ARMY! Of Dongly Old Man Elves! Then.. the kicker! Santa.. isn't really Santa.. He is SATAN! They kill Satan and then capture the elves and train them to be Santa's and then export them for a lot of damn monies. It was super fucking amazing epic. If it is ever available on DVD in the US/CAN I am buying that shit because it is going to be what I watch at night while I drink the milk my future spawn set out with the cookies.

Then we went home and snuggled all night until we had to get up this morning. We had breakfast with more friends then.. went on the carousel again! This is now the 3rd time! Probably the last time I will ever be on a Holiday Carousel since it is looking like it is not something that they do up north.

Then I sadly put Peter on a bus and went to work. TADA! The End!

I need you to buy this for me.. It is AMAZING!

The last days of Birthmakah, AKA Burnaby is a Magical Land.

So I have had a good Birthmakah. I got to go up to Canada and see my husband. Being away from him for so long is shitty. However, I got to tour around the new neighborhood that I will be living in and BOY WOW! it is magical.

Let me show you some things!

Creepy Big Carrot from the grocery store near the new apartment. It is crazy the types of vegetables there.. and that was the "Anglo" grocery store in the area. The veggie stalls at Crystal Mall.

These are the super cute candied apples at the Rocky Mountain Candy Company at Metrotown. SUPER CUTE! There was also a Hello Kitty one, but the glare was too bad. 

Peter and I trying not to be sad on Friday morning while we got ready for work/travelling back to the U.S.

This is my Fancy Breakfast from the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. 

So that was just the pictures I took from my trip up north. I went up on Wednesday as part of my Birthmakah  Celebrations. I was scared that I would be rejected from coming up there because.. well, my mom and I tried to smuggle housewares up into Canada. However, I got to the border, got off the bus and had this conversation.

Canadian Border Guard: Hello, Welcome to Canada, May I have your passport and declaration form. 

Me: * hands form and passport to them*

Canadian Border Guard: Do you have anything to declare? Why are you visiting Canada? * runs passport, clicks something*

Me: No, I do not. I am visiting my husband, he is a citizen, I am in the process of immigrating.

Canadian Border Guard: Oh, ok. Do you come up using any other method other than Greyhound?

Me: I come up by car sometimes...

Canadian Border Guard: Ok, have a safe trip.

!!!! REALLY!!!!! The last time I tried to come up it was at Peace Arch versus Blaine Truck Crossing.. but the fact that it was SOOOOOOOO easy and non threatening.. is amazing to me. 

I then got up to BC, only an hour and a half late, WOOT TRAFFIC!! Peter meets me and then we take the SkyTrain to Burnaby. THIS PLACE IS MAGICAL!

Seriously, our apartment.. is pretty decent. It is within 2 blocks of the SkyTrain. It is within 3-4 blocks of a 3 large shopping areas including Metrotown and The Crystal Mall. There are restaurants everywhere, there are things to do everywhere, there are activities and nice people who say, "Sorry!" when they bump into you EVERYWHERE!  Magical!

So, after hanging out and seeing the sights we stayed home on Thursday night and watched Xmas television. Then I went home on Friday morning. My bus was at 10:20 AM however Peter had to leave for work at 8 AM so I took the SkyTrain with him to his transfer point and then took it again Downtown to the Fairmont Pac Rim and had a super fancy birthday breakfast. Then took the bus back down. The border guards totally didn't care that I had a 12 ft. section of rope ( jump rope) and 2 bottles of Codeine by the time that they had to process 15 visas.

Look what Kitty is reading!

The Angry Jesus Bible or A Starwars Book? You be the judge. 

I was in the locker room today and another girl was asking what Kitty was reading because.. well.. yea that is a glowing cross. Apparently, many people at work thought that Kitty was reading the bible. That is one fucking epic bible if there is a glowing light saber cross and an angry Jesus ( Obi Wan Kenobi)

WHO THE HELL IS THIS!?

This is the display outside of Barney's New York. It is supposed to be.. I think Bobby Flay?? However, it could also be Conan? I don't know. It is ugly.

LAME!? what does Lame lace ribbon look like?

Apparently it looks like this!
