On the road again

Life on the run.

I'm out in the Calgary office of GD right now. fun stuff. It's good to get out and see a new city.. Calgary seems pretty great. Who knows, might move out here someday. You can never really complain about canadian cities, theyre all pretty nice in their own way, none of them are particularly dirty or dangerous. and theyre all usually no more than 20 minutes to a decent park for outdoor adventures.

Banff in particular is quite amazing, one of the highlights of my trip out here. went up on the gondola and dunked in the hot springs. I'll definitely be back to explore this summer at some point, and I'm bringing my hiking legs with me.

So I'm staying at the quality inn here in calgary, which really is a misnomer. It's not very quality at all. but it is cheap. and all i really need is somewhere to rest my head.

Another good point for calgary is that Alberta has no PST, and it made it saved me a few bucks when I did all my shopping out here :) The problem now becomes how do i get all this stuff back? I was considering abusing the interoffice overnight freight, but i guess i should stay above board.

Calgary has a pretty enormous game store, the sentry box. I picked up a few games that i havent been able to find in ottawa's fandom II. considering this was following a previous game buying binge, ill have new games to play well into the new year.

After all this running about to calgary and whatnot I'm more than ready for vacation, which starts this friday. taking the train home which should prove relaxing, maybe ill get to crack a book for a change.
