YOUR HOT
It honestly took me several minutes of being stuck in traffic to parse that sign.
A nun’s outfit would be more understated
Seriously, WTF?
I signed the lease!
This has been an interesting week and a half.
So for a while now, I’ve I’ve been thinking about moving downtown from the wilds of Port Coquitlam. I bought this condo almost six years ago; friends were buying into the building, they took me along one time and I totally fell in love with the show suite. I had money saved up and liked the idea of owning my own place, so I bought.
Things I Didn’t Know I Loved
Found via GrrlScientist, here’s a poem I’d never heard of, by one Nazim Hikmet, a Turkish author I’d never heard of either. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read.
PoCo Photos, Etc…
I was going through iPhoto, and saw a whole album of photos I took in Port Coquitlam (where I’m currently living, though not for much longer). A lot of these were sunsets and I thought of adding them to the sunsets album… but no, it’s only right to acknowledge the place I’ve lived for almost six years (Gawd, time does fly!).
Ode To A Juvenile Bald Eagle I Saw Perched By The SeaBus Terminal Friday Morning
O little Bald Eagle
(Well, not that little, you might have been three feet long)
I saw you from the escalator as I exited the train
Just sitting there, huddled against the rain
Quietly looking around
At everything and nothing
I’m a minority
The newspapers in my neck of the woods are all atwitter over the fact that visible minorities outnumber Caucasians in Vancouver as of the 2006 census. No big surprise. The only part that makes me go “huh” is that South Asians are apparently the largest minority group and not Chinese.
I should be doing a poetry post…
…this being National Poetry Month and all. But as I said last year, I just don’t read much poetry, and what with being insanely busy at work (in a good way, though) I honestly haven’t been inspired to read any, though apparently I have enough energy for supremely long run-on sentences that overuse adverbs terribly.
But behold, I bring you instead some more commuting photos.
