It was another beautiful weekend in Southwest, British Columbia, Canada.  As usual, the radiant sunshine brought a cheery mood in me.  I hope these warmer days become a lot more common this summer season.

Even though I live in the warmest part of Canada, it’s far from a tropical paradise through most of the year.  Imaginary Diva and I would like to move south for the winter, where chilly weather is a mere dream.  Since we both work from home, this mobility allows us to assume operations wherever we decide to reside.  Plus, the U.S. housing market is taking such a dive lately; we can probably find a good deal on a Vacation condo, like in Miami.  The only thing stopping us right now is…Gulp….kids.  We would like to have a daughter or son in the near future.

Who knows what the future may hold?  But I do know, a vacation home is a goal we’ve already planned.  Perhaps it’s time to accelerate those plans while were still relatively young.  Freedom 65 is simply too far away.

For inquiring minds who want to know, I do most of my shopping online.  Unless there’s a super sale going on, you’ll hardly find me at a crowded shopping center to find a deal.

A couple days ago I discovered a neat looking Space Invaders Hoodie from an online seller.  Since my wardrobe is already lavished with video game fandom, this hoodie would make a decent addition to my collection.  Unfortunately, a cost of 150 dollars; the price tag doesn’t amuse me at all.

Such a lame attempt at price gouging is a pathetic sight to behold.  I’m not going to reveal the seller of this item nor do they warrant any free advertising from me.  Who do they think they are?  The Loui$ Voo-ton of Video Game Fashion?  This is Space Invaders for crying out loud!

Don’t take me wrong.  The design has an appealing look, even the neon highlights is a definite attention grabber.  Too bad a high price point will turn off many fans.  Plus, similar clothing can be found at a way cheaper price by simply going to established merchants such as CaféPress or eBay.  Heck, I could get my two year old nephew to design a better looking hoodie with his crayons. 

In the end, I’ll take my online shopping somewhere else; far away from this pseudo-urban style of fashion that smells like cow manure on a hot Summer day.

Spring has finally arrived!  It was a sunny day in Southwest, British Columbia; a nice reprieve from the rain we receive through most of the year.  Imaginary Diva and I took the opportunity to enjoy the weather and lavish in the sunshine.  In addition to the yummy Ice Cream we consumed, a nice walk along Crescent Beach was a great way to top off our day.  We also did a little house shopping in the area.  A place near the beach would be a great lifestyle change for us.

I hope this summer season will bring a lot more sunnier days than usual.  Perhaps I will cancel my trip to California after all.

The “Love Boat” was never one of my favourite shows.  It was cheesy, extremely stupid, and Isaac’s moustache irritated the heck out of me.  Even the opening tune made me cringe in absolute disgust, especially when Isaac points to the screen during the opening credits.  A special thanks to my Sister for forcing me to watch such crap. 

To add injury to insult, Imaginary Diva is trying to convince me to go on a cruise ship vacation later this year.  As you already know, I am not a big fan of these glorified smorgasbords on water.  In fact, I’d rather visit Antarctica naked on high heels than be stuck on an over-bloated tin can in the middle of the Ocean.

I Need Ear Plugs

A nice stay at a tropical resort would be my preference.  Sipping on ice cold drinks while enjoying myself on solid land is a lot more pleasant than cruising on water.  Maybe I can convince her to visit Cuba instead.  Even Mexico sounds like a good idea too.

Our little getaway will most likely happen during the Fall or early Winter.  I can’t wait!
