a formal thank you (to Vancouverites!)

Today I woke up and walked to Union Square. There were about a hundred people blowing bubbles. I sat down in the sunshine and started reading a great screenwriting book that talks about protagonists making deep spiritual transformations. I got pleasantly distracted by dogs and kids playing in the sun. I realized that New York had become my home, and that I was really happy. I was reminded of a ...

Sonja Keiko-Yamaguchi sighted in Norwegian Fjord

... huge. You can't see the other side of the lake while standing at one end. Wikipedia Norway tells me it is 14 km square which I converted to 3,460 acres or roughly 3.5 x Stanley Park for the Vancouverites reading this. How can a lake this huge be frozen and safe for skating? I actually woke up this morning at 3am to take a pee and thought, "Oh my God, what if I fall through the ice and giant ...

VPL Book Sale Goodness

.... I got a book of Tommy Douglas' speeches, Hey Nostradamus and Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland, Confessions of an Economic Hitman and Galveston by Paul Quarrington all for $10. ^_^ Sure they're used, but there's something wholesome and friendly about used books. Anyways, the book sale is on until Saturday evening if any Vancouverites are interested in cheap pre-loved paper-based goodness.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

... home next Saturday for a week instead which I am really excited about. I get to see my cat! Also, it snowed last yesterday and it is October. Crazyness. Picture under the cut. Apparently all the Vancouverites where freaking out which hey, we get rain from September to about mid March. Rarely does it snow and when it does, all hell breaks loose. The snow also made me decide to clean my room for ...

Vancouver seems quite different from Toronto

... Vancouver to be like so much of the rest of Canada I'd heard about: Not Toronto and therefore infinitely more friendly. Given the homeless and pan handling problem in Vancouver, I actually found Vancouverites to be LESS approachable and friendly than Torontonians. And fuck, here's another West Coast thing for you: Valley girls! A lot of chicks from Surrey remind me of the steriotypical valley ...

The sky is falling!

...TO. Have we come this far into junk food, that the little critters are actually MADE OF SUGAR and will MELT? Not to mention the whine-about-the-weather programming- is this why we have so many native Vancouverites who can't cope with rain? "Ick," indeed. Harrumph. A thousand families through Grandview park on any clear day, but in the rain it's our private wasteland, me in my oilcloth duster and ...
