Water
I went swimming tonight at a friends place. It’s the first time I’ve been in the water since I went to Hawaii with S. I realized over the last few months I’ve been getting more and more uptight. I couldn’t put my finger on it until tonight while I was swimming laps. I’ve been missing…

Protesters?
In a move that doesn’t surprise me, protesters are going after the games. In all honesty there are some valid reasons to protest, and some not so valid reasons. For instance, the homeless have a good point. The games are going to displace them, but it’s common for a city to do something like that…

Politics – A wrap
In what was a record vote in the US, I was absent. I’m not far from the results given the level of coverage around the world last night and continuing today. It was a funny thing last night; I was sitting at a Korean BBQ place in Vancouver with my new flatmate and her two…

Vancouver Week 1
There were about 25 of us in the class of October 6th, all of us are with different FA’s, although the largest group in this class is the logistics crew. Here we are, all shiny and new, looking forward to getting started. It amazes me how many different people come together to work on a…

Computers…
Don’t get me wrong I love them, but I just had to spend the entire day yesterday and a good portion of today formatting and starting fresh with my laptop. I suppose it was about time, but the timing could have been better as I’m still trying to get all my things together to move…
Got any book recommendations?
