I also don’t like giving my phone number out at a cash register. Not only is it a security issue, you also make the cashier type in your 10 digits. I printed up my card from the London Drugs Extras website so I can hand it to them to scan. It’s worth it for the 5 dollar bonus for every 10 visits.
After hearing Ian wish his high school had an improv group, I got nostalgic for the early days of improv in Vancouver. There were some pretty dysfunctional group dynamics, but it was exciting to see a new comedy art form emerge. Plus it was fun to work the box office and have thousands of dollars in cash passing through my hands every night.
The best thing about Christ’s Olive Garden of Gethsemane bachelor party? The bar tab is gonna be low; everyone can just order water. That Chris Cross song would have made a good jingle for Bausch and Lomb. “Saline…takes pain away from my sore eyes so I can see.”
Oh man! You guys were just about to read my answer from last weeks question and you went off in another direction! Do I need to re-post it here???
I don’t mind giving out my phone number at the grocery store because I NEVER answer the phone anyway.
> Question of the Week: Do you want your favourite TV show to have an ending or just stop?
I think I’d rather have an ending. It doesn’t need to address all the plot threads or resolve the conflicts, but it should be an end for the story. Buffy could’ve ended after season three or season five instead of season seven, and any of them would’ve been satisfying. I’d want some sort of conclusion, especially if it’s my favourite show.
> What’s something you’re nostalgic for?
Road trips! When I was a kid, we used to sometimes drive from BC to Nova Scotia to visit family during the summer. I’d love to do something like that as an adult. Maybe I should rent a car and go up to the Okanagan sometime.
