Cool Dinner and a Movie in Vancouver
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on July 27th, 2003
Last night Dave the Photographer took me out for dinner, to pay me back for the beers I shouted on Friday. The Templeton is a 60’s (or 70’s?) style diner with burgers and shakes on Granville Street. I had a lime cola. [Ed’s Note: Don’t have the lime cola.] The burgers were great, as usual Read the full article…

Seeing how much crap I have to move down into storage from my apartment, I caved and decided to get a “hand truck” from Canadian Tire. I called ahead first to see if they had any in stock; the girl on the phone didn’t know what a hand truck was, and before I could tell Read the full article…
Time to Move On

Going through all my crap today. Packing up everything that I can’t throw away, and throwing away everything that I haven’t used or looked for in the five years I’ve been here. Found an old watch given to me by Kim, an ex from long-ago Toronto. It was a Kenneth Cole, and the only piece Read the full article…
Missing What’s Not Yet Gone

I’m compiling a list of things I’m going to miss about Vancouver. Only now am I realizing what a horrible observer I’ve been of this city. It seems like there’s something raw and unique and beautiful around every corner, above every storefront, down every alley. Or maybe my digital camera is just making me more Read the full article…

Tried to book a locker at the storage place in the next block, only to find out that it’s closed down. Two phone calls and one trip there didn’t clue me in to this fact. It doesn’t look closed down: there are cars in the parking lot and by the loading bays, and there’s no Read the full article…
The Wholesome Undie: Another Reason to Love Vancouver
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on July 20th, 2003
Small protest against the Molson Indy today. Dubbed the “Wholesome Undie” race, dozens of Vancouver’s cyclists took to the pavement in their underwear to protest the Indy, claiming it to be too fast, loud, and bad for the environment. “Remember,” said Alison ‘Unserwear,’ one of the organizers, “we’re not blocking traffic…” to which the crowd Read the full article…
Pointless Photograph Number 1

This is the cat that lives on my floor. His parents leave their apartment door open so that he can roam the halls. He is half tabby, half traffic light. Hm… there’s either something wrong with my flash, or he’s in the process of damning me to hell.
I am such a gear slut.

I caved. Yep, took my film gear down to Leo’s and traded it in for a Canon PowerShot S400 digital camera. [Ed’s Note: That’s not completely accurate. Even after trading in all his gear, he still had to pony up a couple hundred bucks to make up the difference.] Now that I have this camera, Read the full article…
The Best News Since… well, Ever

Guess what? Jerking off is good for you! Today’s Globe and Mail reported the following: “…men who ejaculated more than five times a week in their 20s were a third less likely to develop an aggressive form of [prostate cancer].” Luckily, safeguarding my prostate will require no changes to my current regimen of menage-a-moi.
…And Everything in its Place

Today is Ankle Freedom day. I wake up late, and crutch the 12 blocks to my doctor’s office . I arrive sweating, 15 minutes late, but the office is locked. Another 15 minutes later two women come by and open it up, but tell me that my doctor isn’t there. Why not? After all, a Read the full article…
