Went to the Second Cup at Bentall Centre. It was a sugar bomb and gave me a really bad caffeine headache in the evening. Only $4.99 for a large though. I’d probably get this again next time I go downtown to hangout at Chapters (i.e. read their books because I’m too cheap to buy it and they never kick anybody out). I sat there for a good 2 hours, reading The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. You know that feeling when you’re near the end of a good book and you wish it didn’t have to end? When am I going to find another book that keeps me captivated like this one did? It was like a super hero movie, I could imagine the explosions and psychosoteric laser beams being shot from everybody’s chakra eyes. Good distraction from certain things in life.

4 more shifts till a 5 day weekend, 5 more days till Freak Night… THERE ISN’T ENOUGH TIME!!!!!!!!

Went to try their regular coffee with pumpkin syrup… Still tasted like cardboard. Don’t get it. Not even worth a photo. Tim Hortons, WHY SO FAIL WITH PUMPKIN?

On another note, wind storm in Vancouver was dreadful - trees and branches falling over, it was like the end of the world. Today, the sun came out and I went for a run because boredom and sad from BEBHWBAKAM hasn’t spoken to me in a few days. Above & Beyond also keeping me company. We’re all we need.

Visited the Thomas Haas in North Vancouver. It would’ve been pretty easy for someone who isn’t directionally challenged to find, but it took me a good 15 minutes of circling around to give up and look it up again on my phone… The café was packed when I got there, full of high school girls who had just finished an exam at the school next door and office peeps from the surrounding areas.

Don’t bother with the PSL from here, doesn’t taste like pumpkin. Just get the pumpkin pie – it’s got an inch of whipped cream & adorable little chocolates.
Getting used to the pace at work. Went to a psychic with E following recommendation by G. Was told I’m too sensitive for this line of work, but I think she’s wrong. I love it. Also said that I’d marry a tall Asian man and have 1 child, but I’m going to fight against that too. I already know what I’ll name the child if female – Starla Marie. You better not steal it.

Not sweet enough, or maybe I was just craving more sugar after only 2 hours of sleep following a graveyard shift. Lots of spices and foam near the top, but it wasn’t very strong. Again… maybe because of the graveyard shift. Cost $4.50, and didn’t make me feel sick. Waffles were good too. I like it.
