No Brunch This Weekend :(

I did not have time to pop by any pub this weekend for brunch ... but I have the names and addresses for two new ones, that appear to have a nice breakfast menu. Both seem to be within a short bike ride ... maybe a bit long of a walk from my place. I will report back on this next weekend.

Yay for *nix

Not to me outdone by Carly's geekness I now also have Ubuntu installed on my comp. Here is how it looks after spending a couple of minutes to get E running and looking pretty:

So yeah, I think I got this for doing work from home ... just in case I feel to lazy to walk outside to the bus. Now that I am done blogging let me boot back into into the 3v1l empire to game.

Breakfast at The Monkey Tree.

Last weekend I head breakfast at The Monkey Tree after playing racquetball for the first time ever. That is a fun sport. We also played some Tennis on a table as well as on a court ... after three hours of that I did not feel like going all to far, so I chose the closest pub of interest which turned out to be a 10 minute walk from my place.

Sadly I the only breakfast food they serve is the old combo of bacon, sausage, hash browns and eggs. There was one small and one large entree thus I had the large entree.

Lastly the cutest girl in there was busing the tables, and seemed to be scared about talking to me. I can understand this since I had not taken the time to get a shower or slip into some more socially acceptable clothes, so I must have looked like some horrible, smelly slob ... I should give her credit for delivering coffee to me whenever I ran out actually ^_^

A Bit of Gaming

Xfire seems to have lost track of how much gaming I did today. It was one of the more gaming oriented days in my life, so here is what I did:

1. PB&Jam + coffee for breakfast
2. Started Halflife and made it though Ravenholm
3. Intermission for lunch and soccer:
1. Installed Lost Coast and Codename Gordon
2. Made Coldcut Sub
3. Watched Argentina pwn the Ivory Coast
4. Beat Lost Coast
5. Beat Codename Gordon
6. Played Dawn of War to the last mission, and too a break to make some burgers for supper

Made possible my the letters B, A, W, L and S.

The Number Of The Beast

To celebrate the day, I got above album. I've been meaning to get some Iron Maiden since listening to it at Jan's place during our Dungeons & Dragons sessions. Yummy metal goodness.

The Smugglers Cove

While I had intended to make another breakfast post out of this, the Smugglers Cove pub is not a breakfast pub. It still gets a honorable mention for it's nice pub atmosphere, excellent fish and chips, and close location to UVic. A beautiful pub for lunch or just a few beers.


In other news, I dropped by the bank again to chat up the totally tantalizing teller but was thwarted by her absence. I guess it's time to move on to the cutie at the dive shop ;)
