Mmmm… noticed I haven’t written an entry in a while. Mostly just laziness. But I don’t want to sleep or can’t sleep right now. I’m sure I can if I try. Maybe I will when I’m done writing this.
Update since the last entry:
Attended a wedding on the 6th at the Terminal City Club. It was a great test of my social skills as I didn’t know 99.8% of the people there. I had lots of fun and chatted with lots of different people. I don’t think my social skills are that bad but it was a good test. I love weddings; what can I say? I’m a sappy person and a romantic at heart. Dancing to 70’s, 80’s, early 90’s music, awesome. Seriously. I love listening to wedding speeches… always make me teary eyed. Quit your smirking.
Yes I’m still single. Heck, I’m not even divorced yet. That will happen sometime this April. Am I looking forward to it? Yes and no. Yes, because I want to get this over with. No, because it will be difficult.
Do I want to be in a relationship? If the right girl came along. What qualifies as the “right girl?” I don’t know… hence I’m not in a relationship. My mom worries about me being single… hell, the average age for marriages in Canada is 31. And mom, how did the last one work out, eh? 
I like this bachelor lifestyle… albeit, not that financially prudent.
Watched two movies over the last couple weekends: Casino Royale and Children of Men. Casino Royale was “ok.” I thought secret agents are supposed to be more sauve and discreet. Not sure if I’m use to this “shoot first and ask questions later” Bond. That said, Daniel Craig was hawt. I wonder if I can get the number for his personal trainer… Children of Men was much better than Casino Royale in my opinion. Really loved how they film was shot using the photo-journalism style (i.e. hand held camera following the action and characters). Clive Owen was my choice for the new Bond but Craig ain’t shabby.
I miss the rain.
Work still sucks most of the time. Can’t wait till I’m done.
Canucks… WOW. Luongo…. we’re not worthy, we’re not worthy.
Superbowl prediction: New England over New Orleans. Say what you want about Brady but the MAN is CLUTCH. Yes, Patriots as the champs again.
Everyone excited about Dine Out Vancouver? I used to be, but not anymore. I’m not sure why. I guess because I can make great dishes at home. I’m kidding. Okay, fine… how about wilted spinach salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar and pancetta crisps? Yes, I made that tonight for dinner. Sounds kinda fancy but honestly, it took about 5 minutes to make and anyone who knows how to turn on the stove can make this. I wish I took a picture of it… maybe next time. I can really cook… how come no one believes me?
Until the next time I can’t sleep.
I can turn on the stove, but I can’t make anything half as fancy!
Good attitude you have with girls: “Too many people are looking for the right person, instead of being the right person.”

Okay Bryan, I guarantee you can do this:
Here’s my version of the wilted spinach salad…
You can use the whole slice of pancetta or cut it into smaller pieces (pancetta is just Italian bacon so you can easily use bacon for this recipe). Pan fry it in a non-stick skillet. Set aside. Take a second skillet (or clean the first and use that if you only have), use medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Let the oil heat up and add the spinach leaves (I used the prepackaged baby spinach packs in the salad aisle). Turn OFF the heat and quickly mix the spinach in the olive oil; do this very quickly and immediately transfer to the serving dish/bowl. Sprinkle the pancetta bits on top and drizzle some good quality balsamic vinegar over the salad. Bon appetito!
