squirrels, friend or foe

my brain is still pretty mushy from all the busy-ness so i’m not sure what i really have to comment on … or talk about or give insight…meh. i got free popcorn yesterday from the Nutman and um had a lovely skytrain ride.

it turns out that feb 6th we will have a new government/prime minister (oficially). we’ll have to see what this means for canada. people in the office were talking about Holt Renfrew (aka Snobby McSnobs) is taking over the atrium at pacific centre because it got bought by some american company. i also heard on the radio this morning that the Bay is going to be taken over by an american company. it’s amazing to think about how our country was pretty much built around the Hudson’s Bay Company and now it’ll become another conquest for the likes of Wal-mart and whoever else.

I need to go for a nice long walk with John. we still walk but it’s more for transportational purposes ie. getting to food or voting or work etc. we used to talk long walks in parks and around vancouver – for the fun of it. i think we’ve just been too busy lately. i wish i could run with him in the mornings around stanley park – especailly those mornings when you wake up and the mountains are covered in snow, the north shore is decorated an orange glow from the sunrise and the water is clear and emerald coloured. i like the rain, it keeps things green, lush, fresh and growing. but there’s nothing like a clear vancouver morning when someone who’s lived here their entire life — or someone whose only been here for a few months — can realize that this really is the best city in the world.

it looks as though i could just sit here and blog about something after all….
