Seemed pretty nice late last night getting off the ferry. Found the house my girlfriend and I are supposed to be living in. It's definitely not the way it seemed in pictures. Got inside and the place stank, there were spiders everywhere, and the bathroom is a pit. We left and are now in a hotel for the next couple hours. I'm not really sure what to do now. I'm really fucking homesick and miss my parents. Any suggestions? - Thu, 3 Jul 2008 7:24am

Call a maid service to come clean the place out.

Open all the doors/windows to air it out.

Accept the fact you're now in Vic and it is the best place in the world to be.

Head to the closest pub while the maid cleans your house (unless she's hot then send the g/f to the grocery store and stay home to "supervise").

Call your parents and get that out of the way so you can focus on staying put.

Or go back home... - Thu, 3 Jul 2008 9:55am

+1 to the maid service. We had this stinking hot maid for a couple months. Unfortunately she quit and we have since replaced her with just a maid!

Anyways, Vic is the best place to be. Go downtown during and do some people watching check some shows, espcially tomorrow night @ lucky.. I hear there is some incredible bands playing July 4th.

Welcome to Vic bro! I moved here from Ontario in 1990 and never looked back. The feeling of homesickness never really goes away as long as you have friends and family back where you grew up, but it does get a little easier as time goes on and you make new friends and get settled in with work and stuff. The first two years were the toughest for me, change of climate, making new friends, etc. There were many times I thought about packin my bags and movin back but Im so glad I stayed, it truly is the best Canada has to offer. I just got back from a 20 year High School reunion and it was great to see friends after all this time but my hometown is nothing like I remember growing up, so industrialized, dirty, a true shithole!! I would never go back to live and visiting I cant stand much more than about 4 days after seeing everyone I need to see, I couldnt wait to get back to the coast, my true home. Hang in there man it does get easier. Keep busy by enjoying things you like to do, sports, music, school etc. You'll start to meet new people and before you know it making new friends. Good luck and keep your chin up :) - Fri, 4 Jul 2008 4:28am Edited: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 12:36pm

I think it's about time Bertuzzi gets to come out of exile.
If he plays on Iginla's line, and he will, because Keenan and Iginla love him, he will easily be a point per gamer. Actually makes me more nervous than any other Northwest Division signing so far.
I really like what Gillis has done so far. Now all we need is Demitra and Sundin and the Canucks will be a contender again.

Reasons for Mats Sundin to sign in Vancouver-




1. Hates shoveling snow
2. Loves 100 continuous days of rain
3. Abundant and inexpensive pot appeals to thrifty Scandinavian heritage
4. Subconscious message "MATS IS CANNON" incorporated into redesigned Canucks whale
5. Asian girls well known for having fetish for hulking, tall, bald Swedes
6. Secret arrangement with Battlestar Galactica set, can sit in Viper whenever he wants
7. Huge fan of Mason Raymond since mention on "How I Met Your Mother"
8. TWO IKEAs
9. Swedish Touch in downtown Vancouver actually named after him
10. Always wanted to "center" identical twins, if you know what I mean - Wed, 9 Jul 2008 3:50pm

It's about time Bertuzzi went to jail. I won't watch a Flames game with him on the ice. - Thu, 10 Jul 2008 2:51pm

Is Bertuzzi a dick? I thought he was really upset that he ruined the guy's career. I thought it was a heat of the moment sort of thing that existed because Hockey Playaz iz so fucking tough. If it wasn't Bertuzzi, wasn't it going to be someone else? Didn't the coach egg him on?

I don't know. Let me know if I'm way off base. I don't watch hockey. - Thu, 10 Jul 2008 3:16pm
