What? Another Entry?  Already?  Is this guy ok?
The answer to all these questions and more is banana.
However to be slightly more clear, i wrote two emails today and yesterday and have decided that they should get shared with you.  They were both sent to my friend Shar
 

Sent yesterday...

Subject: be on the lookout

For that man who stole my bag.
Or something.

Anyways. Today I tweaked the business card so that it looks a bit better. Then I went and bought some actual business card stock and printed them out on that.  So now I have some nice enough ones.
And course being the guy that I am, I want to have a case for them.  This isn’t just pretension either, but I swear it is a small but important part of it. Because of the nature of printers and the new business card stock they are more flimsy than traditional cards, so I want a case that I can throw a bunch in and then throw it in my bag and not worry about them still being in good shape when I need them.

Also, I got the great (maybe) idea of something I want to do. I want to get a very plane metal box card case, cheap and then I want to paint it. It would be painted with a pattern similar but different to the squiggle that is on the cards.  In the image in my mind it looks totally boss.  Anyways when I was downtown at a movie this afternoon I went to cheap thrills and looked to see if they had one similar to the cigarette case I bought you.  They did not.  Then I went to staples for the card stock and looked to see if they had a plain one, (as I was walking from cheap thrills to staples I began to fall in love with the idea of my painted one).  They did not have any.  Then I went to a pawn shop. They had some cig cases but no card cases.  Then I remember that long ago I had one of my own.  It was a little bid weird and brass but painted it would still look totally hugo (ooops, I mean boss, I was playing Eldon cool there for a second).

So I came home and hunted. But did not find. Suck a duck. 
So now I am wondering where the hell I can buy such.

I might go to the market of fleas tomorrow but such things are not the most fun alone so I may not. We shall have to see bout that.

But your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out where I would go to buy such and not pay a fortune.

Sending today...

Subject: don't stop just yet

Ok today was interesting.

Remember the story from last weekend?

The one in which I was lying on my bed trying to decide to leave and get lunch and etc and then you called finally two hours later to drag me from my bed?

Well so today I had one plan, the quest for the card holder. This plan got totally annihilated when I saw how hard it was raining at 11 a.m. there’s no way I am walking to the flea market in the rain. Cause not only do you arrive there wet but so do all the other people who normally go to the flea market. Please tell me you are not now attempting to imagine what wet skids and their ilk smell like. It’s far worse than dog, lemmee tell you.

   Next I thought about supper. I wanted tacos, so I took the ground beef out of the freezer and then took account.  The only other thing I am missing for perfect tacos is lettuce and tomatoes.  Things that can easily be purchased at the market on Granville island.  That’s close, I can get there and back without drenching and horrid wet people smell. (is it wrong to say that the people shopping on the island are a much higher class and therefore less smelly wet?).  AND I can go up and check at the store just up here on Granville as well.  You know, the store where I got the most beautiful flask ever seen?  The only problem with that place is that while they likely have some beautiful card holders if they have them, they will be a bit more expensive.  But, in addition I can get some more velvet sacks for my necklaces that I am producing.  Although I am thinking that at the cut rate that only the more expensive ones get the velvet sacks.

   So there you go, I have a plan. At noon I hop in the shower.  At this point I am rarin’ to get out of the house and don’t even want to watch TV anymore.

   I come out of the shower and the cat is meowing at me.  He knows what a shower means; I’m getting ready to leave. So as I do every time that I want him to get confused as to whether I am going to leave or not, I lie down on the bed and play with him a little.  As I am lying there, I start thinking about my new book.  I currently have the main character set and have the vaguest of notions about the story and am just trying to work out some more detail in my head before I start.   All of a sudden my working through things in my head becomes dreaming up story ideas which slowly becomes just dreaming.  Before too long the story has gone bye-bye and I am just dreaming.  But what do I care I am on vacation.  I can go later, after all it is only 1 o’clock.  Or do I mean 3:24?

  It’s so good to be on vacation. Then I realize that there is something on TV that I quite want to watch at 5 pm.  I’d best get my tail in gear.  But not before I first consider the ramifications of not going anywhere at all.  10 minutes later I realize that since my dad has begged me to come out there and help him tomorrow and Tuesday (and I said yes…what is it about him actually sending an email begging for help and mentioning that he is going to the emergency room because he is coughing up yellow stuff that gets me to agree to go and help him?) that the ground beef I am now defrosting will be bad by the time I get back to eat it if I don’t eat it tonight.  So up I bound with all the energy of a man with a pound of ground round to use before dawn.

  Outside it is still raining a bit but I am undaunted, out I go.  I am not going to the Granville place because I don’t think I have the time and it is raining but I will stop at Dagoli’s because they might have a card holder there as well.  I get to dagoli and indeed they do not have card holders.  However what they do have is cigarette holders of a micro nature.  So for 12.95 I got one that has aluminum sides and black faux leather/vinyl sides.  For now it will remain as it is and I shall keep my eyes open for a better one and soon I will likely get annoyed/bored with this one and do the painting thing on it anyways.  Then I went and bought some more supplies for jewelry and veggies.  I actually bought oranges and apples so my food can be healthier on this, my week off.

  So what the hell was the point of this email anyways? Oh right, so I have a card holder.  But I still want one that is actually made for cards, this one has a sort of bevel that isn’t the best.  And I am still going to do the boss thing.

 Oh, and this has just become a journal entry.
