Bikes Not Bombs: Nude War Protest
0 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) February 25th, 2003 in Politics + Economy, VancouverForgot to mention we had a nude war protest the other day, just down the street from my apartment building, on the grassy slope in the shape of a peace sign.

Ramon is hitching to Squamish today
0 Comments Published by Gail (blogspot) February 24th, 2003 in Politics + Economy, VancouverHe left about quarter to one this afternoon, in the brilliant sunshine illuminating Vancouver on post-plebiscite Olympic bid 2010 Monday.

Ramon Stoppelenburg, of Let-Me-Stay-For-a-Day will probably stay here this weekend starting tomorrow. He arrived in Vancouver on Monday, and has been staying somewhere far out near SE Marine Drive.

My Telus Lesson: You Can Negotiate Anything
1 Comment Published by Gail (blogspot) February 7th, 2003 in Consumer, RandomageThe last couple of days have been a bit nutty:
I lost Tyrone’s (Calgary) library book — which is also a book I’m reading for English class — and then recovered it on Tuesday, when I called the Aquatic Centre on the outside chance somebody might have turned it in, which is exactly what happened!
After [...]
Listening to a Morcheeba song while I work away at Verle’s graphs, and there’s this lyric that I think is great: “Why can’t I stop truth decay?”
