BAD NEWS

Aji Taro Late Night menu item 767…

…is NO MORE!

A shocking series of events occurred this past week, but the final and most devastating blow was delivered by an Aji Taro waitress. The Creamy Corn Croquette will no longer be served due to issues with their supplier.

In memory of the tasty treats that we traveled a great distance to obtain regardless of treacherous road conditions, here are the Creamy Corn Croquettes in a number of different arrangements and angles.








…and in case you’re wondering: Yes, we stole that menu.

TRAFFIC!!!1

if you’re stuck in traffic over the next month and are wondering why, have a gander —  

then look at these pics:













That’s the Pattullo bridge and it caught on fire, if for whatever reason you haven’t already heard.

To give you an idea of how bad the traffic is getting, 152nd Street leading up to the Port Mann bridge is backed up to 90th Ave (KFC / Save-On Foods) and Nordel way leading up to the Alex Fraser bridge is backed up to the King George Hwy!

It’s currently listed as “month-to-month” but it’s return to the lineup is very much anticipated!

 

1st Day of School

Just finished my first day of school about half an hour ago. Pretty brutal finishing at 8:30pm on Tuesdays but I’m thankful to be taking these classes at all.

The reason I started classes a week later than everybody else is the result of an unfavorable series of events that went down between December and the start of January:

  • registered for the Business Admin faculty early December
  • finally received a letter 2 weeks later from the BA faculty
  • letter said my admission was denied due to me not taking a certain course (BUS207)
  • talked to the BA advisor about my situation
  • had BUS207 waived, was told that my problem was solved and to wait for an acceptance letter
  • received a letter beginning of January
  • letter said my admission was denied due to me not taking BUS207!
  • talked to the BA advisor, who couldn’t really help me at this point
  • got mad
  • sent an email to the Dean of the BA faculty explaining my situation (on the last possible day to enroll for classes)
  • received an email within 2 hours
  • email said I was admitted to the faculty AND she had enrolled me into the 2 FULL classes that I needed to graduate
  • became happy :)

SO, thankfully, there was a happy ending. Now barring I don’t fail either of these 2 courses, I’m graduating this April! :):)

Real world, start breathing less air because you’re about to share some of it with ROD!

And guys, start getting ready for Vegas cuz it’s gonna be SWEET

And LUONGO, come back soon – we need you!
