The end of the week was much better than the start of it. Two reasons why:
01. I got to shoot tonight.
02. Peggy and I had ourselves some midnight sushi.
After dinner, I went to my archery club. What was different about tonight’s shoot at the 18m line, besides trying out new arrows, was that I got 2 bullseye tonight! Must be the arrows.
Another notable “never had that happened before” moment was shooting my arrow right into the thicket of another archer’s grouping. I’ll get a Robin Hood yet. (even if I have to take out someone’s arrow to do it. It’d be a bit pricey to pay them for the broken arrow, but it would be so worth it)
Because tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, Rina plastered little square papers with hearts on it beside the regular targets. Our mission should we choose to accept it? Write the name of a person in the heart that we would like to stick it to. (and not of the warm and fuzzy sentiments either)
Some of those named? From the (not surprising) ex-partners/spouses to annoying co-workers, to BMW drivers on the road, the prime minister and Martha Stewart. Issues, people, issues. Well, not only that. Chocolate cupcakes with pink frosted icing were on the line and therefore a tempting incentive to aim for those hearts.
Shooting for a couple of hours whetted my appetite. Peggy and I went to The Eatery in Kitsilano. One of my favourite places not only for sushi, but for the scene. Marketed as “the funkiest place for Japanese food”, it sure is no word of a lie.
There was a DJ spinning house music, accompanied by laser lights. Flashback to our raver days. When the DJ finished his set, music by Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, Depeche Mode came flooding through the speakers.
Music and ambience are key for me, but the funky eatery creations menu is what’ll keep me coming back. They also sell the Miso Horny line of t-shirts and underthings.
Not being able to spend quality time the past month with your best friend just licks. But work, travel and trades hows for her and work, theatre and school for me does not make for a window of time to hang out. So while noshing on rainbow rolls, exotica rolls, veggie gyozas, agedashi tofu, goma ae and chicken skewers, we practically closed down the restaurant at 130 in the morning catching up on the latest goss.
Peggy is the closest thing to a sister to me. Fellow Aquarian (so you can just imagine double the trouble here), we have been best friends for over 12 years. It’s only your best friend who can talk you down from the ledge and who will tell you that you’re being a dork for getting all neurotic about birthdays, getting older and other related mini-meltdowns. However, it’s also only your best friend who will promise to advise my future husband exactly how to handle my future birthdays in just the right way too.
So I got to spend the first couple of hours of Valentines Day with my best friend, who’s been my rock and my cheerleader all these years. I’d say I definitely got lucky tonight.
