aaditya | Wish I could make it to Portland. | 20:55 |
pleia2 | aaditya: go anywhere exciting? :) | 20:55 |
aaditya | pleia2: yep, Canada! | 20:56 |
pleia2 | well at least it's not hot up there | 20:56 |
aaditya | Visited my family, enjoyed hot and humid summer. | 20:56 |
pleia2 | oh :) | 20:56 |
aaditya | It's way hotter than cali, lol. | 20:57 |
pleia2 | east canada? | 20:57 |
pleia2 | I was in philly over the weekend, it was brutal | 20:57 |
aaditya | Yes, Toronto. | 20:57 |
* pleia2 nods | 20:57 | |
aaditya | Philly ain't far from there. Same weather, approx. | 20:57 |
pleia2 | heat index was 120F when I got off the plane friday afternoon | 20:58 |
pleia2 | it was awesome | 20:58 |
pleia2 | (not really) | 20:58 |
aaditya | haha yeah, a bit too hot. | 20:58 |
pleia2 | my sister lives up in Maine and it was pretty hot there too, she was complaining all weekend :) | 20:59 |
aaditya | Toronto was in 90-100 range most of the time. Didn't rain once, though they say it rains there all the time during summers. | 20:59 |
pleia2 | hah | 20:59 |
pleia2 | it's raining in philly now, brought the temps down into the 80s (of course, now that I'm back home) | 20:59 |
aaditya | haha, same! | 20:59 |
aaditya | It rained there right before I got there, and right after I left. | 21:00 |
pleia2 | hehe | 21:00 |
aaditya | The stay was alright. The actual fun was in driving there. | 21:01 |
pleia2 | you can pretend you're going really fast because it's KM! | 21:01 |
aaditya | haha, yeah. 140kmph on the highway was pretty normal there. | 21:02 |
aaditya | Felt like driving a sports car. | 21:02 |
pleia2 | I was up in edmonton a couple months ago, first time I'd driven in a rental up there (last time I was in canada I had my own car) | 21:02 |
aaditya | But I was referring to driving *to* Toronto | 21:02 |
pleia2 | wait, from where? | 21:03 |
aaditya | from here. | 21:03 |
pleia2 | ! | 21:03 |
pleia2 | that's a long drive :) | 21:03 |
aaditya | yep, took a while. :P | 21:03 |
* pleia2 likes airplanes | 21:03 | |
pleia2 | :) | 21:03 |
aaditya | lol. I can't wait to drive there again, though I'm never doing this kind of thing alone again. | 21:04 |
pleia2 | the longest road trip I've done was philadelphia to new orleans | 21:04 |
aaditya | that's a couple hundred miles, right? | 21:05 |
* aaditya googles. | 21:05 | |
pleia2 | haha | 21:05 |
pleia2 | it took 24 hours, we drove straight through and were hauling a uhaul trailer | 21:05 |
aaditya | whoa, ~1220 | 21:05 |
aaditya | That's a pretty long one! | 21:05 |
pleia2 | yeah, and it was fun | 21:05 |
aaditya | nice. | 21:06 |
pleia2 | was a guy from my loco in pennsylvania who was moving and wanted a road trip buddy :) | 21:06 |
pleia2 | I was like "I'm up for an adventure!" | 21:06 |
aaditya | ah, fun | 21:06 |
pleia2 | so we drove down sat-sun, I got to explore the french quarter for a couple hours, then I flew home sunday afternoon | 21:06 |
aaditya | Where's the french quarter? | 21:07 |
aaditya | a place worth exploring, nice. | 21:09 |
aaditya | pleia2: so you've lived in Canada? | 21:09 |
pleia2 | it's the tourist district in new orleans | 21:09 |
pleia2 | nah, I was just driving up from philly | 21:10 |
pleia2 | my sister lives in edmonton though | 21:10 |
pleia2 | er, in alberta, a million miles from edmonton and civilization | 21:10 |
aaditya | AB is a beautiful place I've heard. | 21:11 |
pleia2 | yeah, the family members who have visited her all tell me she lives in a beautiful, wild place | 21:12 |
aaditya | So close to nature. Can't get any better. | 21:12 |
pleia2 | 50 miles outside of the nearest town, 7 of which is unpaved | 21:12 |
pleia2 | I don't know, I quite like cities :) | 21:12 |
aaditya | haha, that's taking it far. I hope it's worth it. | 21:12 |
pleia2 | he husband works up on the oil sands, so they need to live somewhere relatively close to them | 21:13 |
pleia2 | s/he/her | 21:13 |
aaditya | Ah I see. It sort of makes me envious. | 21:14 |
aaditya | If I could, I'd put my cottage in the woods somewhere. On the other hand, my parents prefer cities, hence Toronto. | 21:14 |
* pleia2 nods | 21:16 | |
pleia2 | my mother lives pretty far in the middle of nowhere in maine, but nothing like my sister | 21:16 |
pleia2 | I am a bit of an odd duck in my immediate family | 21:16 |
pleia2 | I flew my mother down to philly last year before I moved out here, she was a bit overwhelmed from the moment she landed - we were immediately plunged into philly rush hour traffic leaving the airport, ouch. | 21:17 |
pleia2 | I didn't mind a whole lot, but she was all kinds of "this is why I live in the middle of nowhere! I hate traffic!" | 21:18 |
aaditya | That's no fun, lol. | 21:18 |
aaditya | But there's pros and cons of each. | 21:18 |
pleia2 | yeah | 21:18 |
pleia2 | I like vacationing in the middle of nowhere :) | 21:18 |
aaditya | That sounds relaxing, esp. when you're in such a happening city like SF. | 21:20 |
jyo | Wow, it's actually <70 in Fremont today. | 21:39 |
philipballew | hey pleia2, hows your labor day lookin? | 22:52 |
pleia2 | philipballew: unfortunately lookin like I don't actually have money to travel more right now | 22:53 |
philipballew | understandable, you need to save your money so you can have a really great wedding! | 22:53 |
philipballew | thats gonna be a big day for you | 22:54 |
* philipballew says statements he has no experience with | 22:54 | |
pleia2 | hehe | 22:54 |
pleia2 | but yeah, that's a big part of my budget now | 22:55 |
pleia2 | doesn't look like my master plan to elope will work ;) | 22:55 |
philipballew | reno is like what 3 hours? | 22:55 |
philipballew | you could be there this evening! haha | 22:55 |
pleia2 | well, except that MJ is in north carolina right now | 22:56 |
pleia2 | I've never been the "omg wedding!" type, so planning this fills me with an unfortunate amount of dread | 22:56 |
pleia2 | fortunately I have friends to help :) | 22:56 |
philipballew | just try to make it as geeky and possible and it will work out well | 22:57 |
pleia2 | lol | 22:57 |
DarkwingDuck | I eloped to Vegas. | 22:57 |
pleia2 | it's really for families I think, so it'll be on the traditional side | 22:58 |
pleia2 | and jewish (I'm not jewish or converting, but that's ok) | 22:58 |
DarkwingDuck | ahhhhh... | 22:58 |
DarkwingDuck | Yeah... We don't really have religious ties... Well, my mother but, she was willing to overlook that. | 22:59 |
philipballew | it seems all weddings are either for the bride or her family. haha. well, in America at least | 23:00 |
DarkwingDuck | At the time, my wife wasn't on speaking terms with her family. | 23:00 |
DarkwingDuck | So, we drove to Vegas and get married. | 23:01 |
pleia2 | MJ is the eldest grandson, which is kinda a big deal, so they all want a wedding | 23:01 |
DarkwingDuck | ahhh. | 23:01 |
pleia2 | my family has weddings (and divorces) all the time, we only meet up for funerals | 23:01 |
DarkwingDuck | Congrats. | 23:01 |
pleia2 | ah, my family :) | 23:01 |
philipballew | where would we be with out them :) | 23:02 |
pleia2 | not in therapy? :D | 23:04 |
DarkwingDuck | LOL | 23:04 |
DarkwingDuck | Family keeps life interesting. | 23:04 |
pleia2 | hehe | 23:05 |
philipballew | haha, i have to go to the bay for a family reunion this weekend, all 65 cousins or something like that | 23:05 |
* philipballew needs a faq card for this | 23:05 | |
pleia2 | I had a step-cousin hit on me at a family reunion once, who tries to pick up chicks at family reunions? ugh :P | 23:06 |
DarkwingDuck | LOL | 23:06 |
philipballew | is redneck inappropriate for the channel? haha | 23:07 |
pleia2 | haha | 23:07 |
pleia2 | not nearly as bad as the blind date with a guy who became my step brother (thanks mom) | 23:08 |
philipballew | i see them in auburn a lot. with there south confederate flags. All in the family right? | 23:08 |
pleia2 | hahah, nooo | 23:08 |
philipballew | i try to avoid the families myself. seems easier | 23:09 |
pleia2 | I did for much of my 20s, trying to re-establish ties now | 23:10 |
philipballew | Leeds to more facebook friends | 23:13 |
