whirlwind weekend

i'm so tired i might just go climb into bed right now. we were homeward bound this weekend and went out to the semi-coast: terrace. it's about a 6-7 hour drive from PG (depending on the stops you make) and we made good time both ways. i drove something like 1200km this weekend. my car deserves a rest.

one of our stops on the way back to PG today was in kitwanga at the petrocan on the highway. this was one of those times when you are so thankful you found EVERYTHING you were looking for at the convenience store, and more. my finds included these super dark dg fake glasses ($15), old dutch mexican chilli ripple chips (they've been recently resurrected from the vintage junk food realm and are fresh on chip stands everywhere!!!), BANNOCK, orangina, and a salmon sandwich made with LOCALLY CANNED salmon. albeit to say i was dully impressed.

this morning on our way to get the car packed with furniture from my mom's (she's moving!! and she unearthed books of my old journals and zines !! i thought i got rid of them i'm so happy they're only musty but still in our possession!!) we stopped at the ex-artful cup and i took a zillion picture's of j-mac's art in the bathroom. it's been coloured over the last three years, and was mainly done in sharpy.

j-mac is definitely the #1 reason i try to always make it back to terrace. we cuddled, cooked, bombed around town, and had an art party with wonderful foods. it's hard having people you love scattered everywhere. i need to get geographically closer to this one.

alas, mountains. i have no idea which ones these are. but i loved loved loved all the fresh fresh fresh air and snowy peaks.
