August

10th More weekend updates! Thursday everyone left work half an hour early to attend a going away party for John at Peake's down on the waterfront. Most of the Sculpin crew was there and a few from Other Ocean (including Beep and Andrew). We ate a serious amount of appetizers and drank a LOT of beer. I didn't plan on drinking but due to a misunderstanding I ended up having quite a bit. After a few hours at Peake's it got dark so a few of us went to Dooley's for more drinks and some pool. After about an hour there we shifted to Baba's for the rest of the night. John bought two pitchers of Sweet-O for everyone and we all hung out on the back deck. I had a pretty good time and it turned out to be a great farewell party for John.

Friday night Joey and Kalon came down to Charlottetown because Merina's flight was coming in. There was a lot of thunder that night so Andrew, Kalon and I climbed up on the roof to watch it for a while. After we came down Joey, Noel, Kalon and I walked to the Ultramar to get some slushes and then hung out in the living room in the dark with everyone else and watched some very intense rain and thunder. Around midnight we went to the airport to get Merina, went back to my house for a bit, and then Joey, Merina and Kalon went back to Summerside.

Saturday I went to Summerside so we could all go out to the beach. We ended up at McCaulin's Point but it really wasn't much of a beach day so we just explored a bit. I spent most of the evening on the couch playing PS2 and finally finished Shadow of the Colossus. Now I'm playing through Silent Hill 2 and Okami. Seems I very rarely play "new" video games these days.

Noel and Andrew came down Saturday night so we could go to the beach on Sunday. Tyler also drove down Sunday morning so the whole lot of us went to Thunder Cove. Ryan Barrett is on PEI with his girlfriend Christy so they met us there with Ryan's family. It was a great day for the beach. Nice and hot and the water was warm, and not nearly as packed as last Sunday. After Thunder Cove Joey, Merina and I went to the China Star with Ryan and Christy for supper, and then I went back home to Charlottetown.
