inside the wonderful world of vee

i apologize. mostly to myself, however, as not all THAT many people read this. but that sucks falling behind. tis not fun.

so if you thought yesterday’s “so you think you can dance” story was bad, guess what? it gets worse.

i shipped out the 2 tickets (out of 6) that sold yesterday via ups overnight mail.

because i have GREAT luck, guess what? MECHANICAL PLANE FAILURE.

THE TICKETS WON’T GET THERE TODAY… meaning instead of earning $60 / $365, i now earn $0.

ups will refund the shipping price of $24.99 but i doubt they will refund the shipping price (some guy is “checking on it” however).

i have the worst luck, seriously. this was like when i went to canada last week and i kept trying to get winnie the pooh toys out of the vending machine and every time i would say, “ANYTHING BUT PIGLET!” i would get a piglet-related item. or i’d be like, “we don’t need to check the ferry times; what’s the worse that could happen?!” and the worse that could happen is we missed the ferry and instead of coming all the way back to seattle from victoria, we actually had to ferry from seattle to vancouver and drive back down to seattle.

NUBCAKENESS. THE STORY OF MY LIFE.

oh yeah and last night i was watching a documentary and it was called “dragons made real” and they made it sound like dragons were real, with scientists finding dragons in ice caves and stuff. i had my glasses off so i couldn’t see that well to begin with, but the shit was blowing my mind. i kept saying, “what the fuck? dragons are real?” and lenny would say, “yeah, you nub, didn’t you know?”

this morning he told me he was joking and they are actually fake. that motherfucker. that entire show was a “what if dragons were real.” why the hell would you make that! CONFUSING ME LIKE THAT.

but as far as REAL stuff i saw on discovery channel that is cool, here is some stuff that i saw the last month which blew my mind and were REAL, unlike dragons :[

* CORAL REEFS ATTACK EACH OTHER.
i kiddeth you not. they get all gelatinous and poke weird whiskers at each other and the animals in coral-a will attack coral-b and vice versa. they attack each other because when they are growing they’ll like, bump into each other and end up going into other coral’s territories… fucking shit is crazy. i can’t find a pic but here’s a link from a site i kind of hate that contains more information!

* UNDERWATER LAKES.
lakes of super high salinity water below the oceans. life scurries to live along its borders, much like we scurry to live along the water line. prepare to have your mind be fucking blown!!! watch the video, yo.

xinlei came today so i picked her up and we headed straight to canada cause we’re fucking hardcore, biatch.

the border crossing going INTO canada. when you’re going into canada it’s all fucking nice and pretty — coming into the united states, however, it looks like a piece of shit.

RICHMOND NIGHT MARKET

richmond night market. this is funny, but only if you think about it. a little. just read the text and laugh. they did get “ray ban” right, though, i guess, so i suppose i should be impressed?

hahahaha. so photoshopped are their tattoos.

feed… my… tummy!?

some terrible dog show / karaoke contest / badness abound.

nothing like a sea of bras to make you feel right at home. richmond night market, you think of everything.

HOOKAH, OR AS THEY CALLED IT, SHEE-SHA


hookah with random hostel people. say hello to random german man with camera. i like german english accents, for some reason. this korean chick named molly met us at the hostel and she was drunk and we were drunk and she was like, “YAY! THERE ARE NO ASIANS HERE BUT YOU GUYS!” so she invited us along but we didn’t talk to her the whole time rofls. her friends were cool, though — they were also people staying at the hostel long-term.

SAMESUN BACKPACKER LODGE


the hostel we stay at every time we go to vancouver, pretty much. we usually always get brazil on our door, but unfortunately, this time we got a fucking hockey flag. not even a real country flag. a hockey flag. i took a photo of brazil’s flag before, but hockey flag was just so lame i didn’t even take a pic.

vancouver has a lot of homelessness. like… a lot. this entire street was like, homeless people. at least, it seemed that way.

CHINATOWN



gotta love chinatown. it’s my gecko on a stick!

this is honestly, like the funniest thing ever.

ALL HAIL THE SHABUSEN!

STANLEY PARK

so ever since going to japan and biking around tokyo i’ve been obsessed with biking in foreign cities, so… i made lenny and xinlei rent bikes with me to bike around stanley park. we didn’t have much time to do it but it was pretty much the best time of their lives, they said. well not really but close to it!!!!!!!!!!! BIKE IN FOREIGN CITIES. YOU WON’T LOOK FLATTERING BUT THAT’S OKAY.

this guy, like the guy in fremont, stacks rocks. he’s awesome. unlike the guy in fremont, though, he’s not very talkative. i tried to make conversation and got one line out of him, but that’s about it.

THE VICTORIAN HOTEL

new place to stay for night #2! the victorian hotel. we had originally opted for a cheaper room but the guy gave us a free upgrade so we got a giant king-sized bed!! i’ve never been in a king-sized bed. anyway, lenny and i checked in and xinlei snuck in. we’re ghetto.

more chinese marketness. how lame.

so i’m like, obsessed with these winnie the pooh toys. i think i satisfied my lust for it for life on this trip though. i kept saying, “ANYTHING BUT PIGLET” and i would get piglet every time. godamnit. like, i started saying it jokingly thinking it didn’t matter — certainly i am not cursed — but quite the contrary. i am cursed.

FERRY TO VICTORIA


it was fucking expensive. do *not* take your car on the fucking ferry. seriously.

VICTORIA

darth vader of the violins. he even played the like, march song. i dunno what it’s called.

i should mention that in addition to spending made loads of money buying a ferry / car ticket to victoria from vancouver, uhhhhhhhhhh we were just going to take the ferry all the way back to seattle from victoria but we just missed it. by like, five minutes. all because i said, “what’s the worse that could happen?” sooooo. we had to rush to take the last ferry from victoria back to vancouver (might i add that whereas the way from vancouver to victoria was a normal ferry, the one from victoria to vancouver was a fucking luxury ferry. it was literally like an airport. two arcade rooms and one GIFT STORE. i shit you not. ridiculous!!!!). anyway, once we got to vancouver i had to drive the two hours back down whereas everyone else got to sleep… woohoo! awesome! *_*
