Mr. Kilomantra, this is no desert

I do not like humidity. I should be doing something physical or should be immersed in water for my skin to be wet. This region is considered arid mountainous desert. But I am wet. And I ask for explanation from the pantsless expert.

So tomorrow morning I shall pack up my sleeping yoshirolla and head to Vancouver for the weekend. Where it is supposed to be sticky because it always is.

Al, Josh, Scott, we should do our own mini T/P/L (or whatever it’s called) on Monday. Everyone take a photo or two on Canada day, and we can bundle ‘em here.

Not near as cool as the big one but whatdya do?

You become an pantsless expert, like our friend Mr. Kilomantra, maker of fine down-filled yoshirolla’s, perfect to keep you wet even when you should be dry.

Oh, and i think it may be time for some new header images? Who’s up to the task? I hope someone is or I might have to start swapping out those image with really inappropriate photos. Or I might even go so far as to add “Icecubes” to the ORG.

upgrade…’d!

let me know if you notice any problems when loading pages, or anything acting strange when you do… stuff.

Yoshirolla and his Satchel Search for a New Game

“Yoshirolla peered around the corner cautiously, afraid of only one thing: that he would recognize all the games on the shelf. He didn’t need to see one more ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ plinko game, another ‘Farmyard Spin the Bottle’, or that latest disappointment ‘Ticket to Ride’. Why hadn’t he just be able to pull a few more shiny rainbow locomotives? Two or three more of those engines and he might have been able to snatch that victory away from his competitors.”

Read the ever-expanding award-winning story!

Well, we have found some lovely folks out here in the Okanagan to play games with. Last night we told them all about the Magic Satchel games nights that take place in Calgary and they were pretty eager to get one started here in Kelowna.

And the crazy games people own these days! Whether it is a game like Survive! from their childhood or the railway-building stategy game Ticket to Ride, people sure bring out some crazy games when they know you are open-minded! Thanks Jay & Amy, it was fun!

So there may soon be a Kelowna chapter of the Magic Satchel Games Night! We probably won’t call it “Yoshirolla’s Magic Satchel” because Condoleezza would undoubtedly give us the smack-down for disrespecting her satchel.

Hopefully we can take a road trip up to Vernon soon to check out the big toy/games store there. But Canada Day may involve some Vancouver nonsense. I hope My Jedi Friend is prepared.

Soon, a dance.

11th Annual Happy Shipday!

It’s that time of year again: my mother’s 28th anniversary of birthing me (breach, jaundiced, 23.5 hr labour, no pain killers, I’m regularly reminded) is on June 13th. Huzzah, 2 points for mom! To celebrate her stubborness (and inhuman pain threshold) we’ll be gathering at the Ship & Anchor for big bottles of Newcastle, apple pie shooters, and Ship burgers this Saturday, June 16th. Show up anytime after 2pm if you’re up for a laugh, as I tend to break out my best impression of an overly-friendly leg-humping fiend who will do just about anything to make for a good photo opportunity. Photos to follow, I’m sure :)

Edit: only one photo was taken that night – thanks Steve! And yes, that’s a hot pink giftbag hat…
