Carry The Flame!x"Old in 2 weeks?"xIn The Hole

While I eat my pizza with donair sauce, I shall prattle a bit about my day ;P

I went down to Annapolis Royal right early this morning so that I could see the 3 torch-bearers do their little run & witness the burning passion of The Olympic Flame~! Here are the pictures I took today! I love Fort Anne, by the way. I used to go there a lot when I was in elementary school. I have always wanted to go9 sledding there ;)

I also took a few videos, though my 'cell crapped just when the runner was 10 feet infront of me, and my batteries for my camera died too :(



After this my mom took me to Greenwood to see about getting a new cellular-telephone from Bell-Aliant. I have 8 months left on my Telus contract, and it would cost $180 to pay myself out of that. Recently my battery cannot hold much of a charge, and my warrenty on it expired in October :( $60 for a new battery vs. $180 is looking more than tempting, 'specially since Motorola no longer even has RAZR batteries for sale from them directly anymore. Basically the only way I can get a new battery is on the lucky chance a Telus retailer has one in old stock. On-the-other-hand, my mom is planning on getting a basic phone for emergencies. She has decided my Christmas gift will be getting me out of my contract and going together and getting 2 new phones. My RAZR was bought in 2007, but I got it for $0 because it was old stock. I have dropped it in a bathtub, had it fail after repairs, traveled acrossed Canada & down to the United States of America with it [over 20,000KM!], glued 2 buttons back on it with Krazy Glue, and replaced the battery yearly. It is on it's last legs basically [though most phones do not have legs...]. I fell in love at first sight/holding of the LG [Lucky Goldstar~] Reveal**. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, 2.0mega-pixel camera, flips closed, comes in mofo' metalic purple, has expandable SD memory, is shapped like my RAZR [not very curvy...more blocky, which I dig the feel of], and has the same sceen size as my RAZR :3 I want it SOOO bad~♥ When we were in looking at the begining of the month, this phone was a 'brand-new Bell-Aliant exclusive'. Today I was told that it, and my 2nd choice were 'discontinued'. I did get the manager to call the other stores to get one for me though, so I hope that works out. I was right bummed though. I will also be able to keep my current number, so that is extra sexy. The only thing I hate about Bell-Aliant's plans are the rediculas North American minute prices. I pay $15 a month from Telus for 120 long-distance, to anywhere in North America. I am not paying $40 for the same deal. I guess I am going back to phone-cards again.

It is 2:32am though D: so I finish by mentioning that I went to the local Home Hardware's Ladies' Night. Wherein women get atleast 5% off their purchase determined by scratch-cards, and they also have free gifts & drawings for prizes. I got a free tin cookie-tray & a glass candle holder-thing with my purchase. I bought $0.85 cuphooks for June, a key-wind alarmclock for Kenny for Christmas, and a $1.49 sink plug to replace the one in our bathroom. I was a big shopper XD I did get to say hullo to Jeremy's sister-Kim-who works there though. She told me I should tell him that the free girly gifts I got were his present :P To which he responded something about wanting chocolate pudding. I really wish he was closer so we could have a "Doctor Who" marathon in the same room. Currently we talk by phone/txts while satching episodes. It is fun though. I don't think I mentioned that Bridgetown's Home Hardware moved to where NSLC used to be. I still find it right odd to go there instead of the building they were in since before I was born.

Now it is 1/4 3am though, so Sarah is off to crash into her blanket latibule D: I am planning-on going to see the Torch run through Middleton tomorrow at 3:10pm~ I find this so exciting! I am too patriotic to protest them, but I am right pissed about no women's ski jumping, when they are having men's. Not Canada's fault though, the courts could do nothing to change the Olympic Comittee's planning. I still love every Canadian team though!

Ciao,
---Sarah

I might aswell also add that the Olympic crew guy that presented reminded me of Vince with Sham-Wow! XD

I really do like the look of men's Colonial clothing, although I'd imagine it's not the most comfortable thing to wear. It also looks like there are some very nice hills around there.

And yay bagpipes!

Do you know what this building (http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss138/lady_noremon/Annapolis%20Royal%20Olympic%20Torch/P1110247.jpg) is? The architecture is very interesting.

Fort Anne is very hilly :3

Yep, yep :D

North America's only tidal power plant? Neat. Have you ever toured/been in it?
