So it turns out panhandling on the internet was a good idea because I had not one but two offers from people who were willing to buy that loom for me. It is basically amazing and super sweet and honestly I am not even being rude about it, my faith in humanity has been restored just through this generosity.
So today Tremaine and I hoofed it up to look at the loom. We had to take a weird community shuttle bus and then we had to climb a fairly impressive hill, but the view was pretty fantastic. Oh, and the lady’s street address was the same as the first four numbers of my student number at UBC. Do you think maybe the universe wants me to have this loom?
We also walked past Gamma Ave and I said I wanted to live there but Maine said it would take up too much energy to live there (har har he made a science joke) but also it is true because there were one million per cent hills. Also there were no real sidewalks because I don’t think people walk much in that area.
But yeah the loom was pretty sweet actually. I thought it would be in worse condition because the pictures were fuzzy. But she said it’s been in the family for like 80 years but no one is interested in it now, and that makes me kinda sad. It was handmade! By Finnish people! And you know how I feel about Finland! (Well, if you don’t know, I sort of have a crush on Finland, especially on Jarkko Ruutu and Teemu Selanne oh and also one time I tried to learn Finnish. I actually have “Teach Yourself Finnish” on my mp3 player. Yeah.)
After checking out the loom, we headed over to Sean’s place to hang out with him and Val, and I got to play Super Mario Galaxy 2, and I did this one level where you are supposed to jump and spin but I don’t like jumping so I did it in a perilous way where I walked into an empty square and then spun. (Wow what a run on sentence that was…) Well. I beat it! No jumping except at the end when I had no choice.
Then we went to the dog park with Zoey and at first there were no other dogs so I was sad but then other dogs showed up! Yesssss!
Zoey was like “Ok fine I’ll play with these dogs.” but you could tell her heart was not in it that much.
She is pretty cute though, right?
But then her dog friend who is more her same size showed up and she totally hogged his toy! But I think he liked it.
They both chased after it until they were the most tired ever and even then Zoey didn’t want to give it up.
They both laid there making their tired dog short face noise for a while and it was the most adorable ever. I want a dog so hard. Except I want a Boston Terrier and they are the most hyper in the universe and I think Bert would hate me.
This guy does not like to share attention. Ever.
