1) Bought a can of this stuff, and the tent doesn’t leak anymore. Hooray for cheap tent!

2) I really, really, really enjoyed the Dark Knight. I would definitely recommend it. My secret? Not building it up in my mind beforehand, not being all “Heath Ledger is a God because he died” or whatever… I haven’t read the comics, although Rob tells me that the movie sticks pretty much to the story in the books. So people dying and such is what is supposed to happen.

3) Rob’s eye is better! So all the rubbing and whatever with rings and watches must’ve worked. Or he got better on his own.

4) Before the movie, we went to Signal Hill. Hiking around up and down that hill was better than any treadmill workout I might have been wishing for (I had – it was very rainy, and I wasn’t going outside to exercise, which was leaving me feeling bleh). Also we saw a whale! Oh wait! That seems kind of important!

5) We saw a whale! It was swimming around down in the (harbour?) Down in the water in front of us. Rob said “the Narrows”. Anyway. It was swimming and blowholing and doing its little whale things. Of course it was miles away from where we were and I was all excited and watching it instead of trying to get pictures so whenever I managed to get my viewfinder around it I mainly got pictures of where it had been rather than of the whale itself.

6) Then we went to the mall to watch the movie. First we went to the food court and had a bite because by that time it was 6 pm and neither of us had eaten yet that day. I had a falafel pita and Rob had fries with gravy and dressing. Very healthy, yes I know.

7) When we got into the theatre I sent Rob to get seats while I went and stood in line at the concession stand. Movie started at 6:30. I got in line at 6:17. I got to the front of the line and asked for my concessions at 6:27. It was 7:05 when the dude finally gave me my drinks… so I missed the first 35 minutes of the film. But the rest was really good.
The drive home was me white-knuckling it because there are moose warnings all over the place and there have been over 350 accidents involving moose and cars and absolute anarchy in the streets (don’t click that link… or click it, whatever, it’s sad)… so yeah, I was afeard. BUT, we did not hit a moose and so we’re good.

Then we came home and went to sleep and I woke up and since there is only a 30% Internet signal I am posting this now (meanwhile trying valiantly to upload photos to Flickr). Also I am trying to check out all your blogs but it takes 20 minutes to comment so we may not have that type of interaction.
