Utterly Depressed ... kind of

So today I finally finished watching all the episodes of "Firefly".  I freaking LOVE that show. I can't believe it took me this long to sit down and watch it. I have been told for years that I should watch this show and for whatever reason I didn't.  I've always kind of felt that I couldn't truly call myself a geek without having watching this show, but now I am proud to say that I have.

Once I finished the last episode I was struck with a feeling of depression. How could such an awesome show have been canceled? I don't blame myself for not watching it during its original run 9 years ago because I've never participated in the Nielsen ratings system, so my non-viewing didn't affect its cancellation. But yeah .. knowing that I will not be able to watch a new episode of Firefly and know how it was supposed to end made me really sad. To make matters worse, my brother canceled his Netflix account which means I can't even watch Serenity. I am all kinds of bummed right now.

Anywho ... today I went to Walmart to buy some things I need for the apartment and some food.  It's about a 30 minute journey by foot and train.  When I get there I notice that the air outside the parking lot smells like maple syrup. It made me laugh pretty hard. It also made me hungry.

Once I got inside, that maple syrup smell faded. I bought the things I needed and was happy that I finally bought more food! I bought me some chicken and ground beef, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, bananas and toritllas. So I didn't have to eat spaghetti tonight! I ate chicken tacos.

And speaking of Mexican food, I was pretty upset at the tortilla selection at Walmart/every other store I've been in.  The tortillas come in these really small packets of like 10 or 12.  And they mostly sell flour tortillas. Took me a while to find the corn tortillas (which are the ones that I like best).  And I didn't even want to buy them because it only had 12 tortillas. That's like 3 meals ... 4 if I am not a fatty.  With the same amount of money I could buy like 30 tortillas in the US.  Next time I go to Costco I will see if they have bigger packages but I doubt it because the last two times I checked and they had small ones only.

Also, there are not very many Mexican food restaurants here, I have only seen two. And was told that one of them sucks.  I will have to find a good place I can eat some real Mexican food. Although I doubt there are very many Mexicans in Vancouver. I've been here like 2 weeks and I have seen any. I assume the tortilla situation keeps them away.
