the london tourist
i think perhaps i've had an overdose of vitamin d. at the present moment, i feel as high as a kite despite not having any tokes off a funny cigarette since my 'drop by' on clay earlier this afternoon. where to start... hmm...
well, i suppose i should begin at the beginning. after waking up early to conduct my regular job search, i had a surprise call from a broker that i attended french class with. he was calling to invite me to a company party... not to mention, check in on me to see if i've gained employment since we last spoke. he gave me a nice quick lecture and told me to get outside to enjoy the nice weather. i took his advice and decided to get outside all afternoon and feel no guilt in doing so. it started with my meeting ash for a coffee in victoria park only to return home to get on more comfortable shoes and tie up the long hair for what i knew was to be a long walk in the hot sun. oh yeah... i left ash at the park as he's the man in black who lives a bit like a vampire, enjoys the night and darkness and hates the daylight and sun (and if you ask me... he's even got a nice set of fangs on him too).
back to the story... i ended up walking aimlessly for 4 hours... mostly with my head snuggled in other people's gardens. after the four hour walk i grabbed c...'s bike and took a ride around the north end. by the way, c..., the peonies are just about ready to burst! oh yeah... about your bike... I treated her well giving her the loving she so deserves, never leaving her side once!
anyway, the result*******
i felt like a tourist. it was wonderful. i guess this city is what you make of it. it is possible to avoid the students... i witnessed that today. my goal now is to try harder to love london while i'm here. it has sucked up 6 years of my life (well, on and off at least)... i wouldn't want to leave her with a sour taste in my mouth.

one more thing c...,
asparagus is ready! i need to slow down on the stuff... my pee smells all the time now... i need a vacation from the odour i think. AND, the fig tree will survive!

I am so jealous of your bike ride, walk and asparagus feasting. I've only had it once on the trip and it was in a mix so you couldn't enjoy it fully.
We are in Grand Forks right now and heading to Golden, BC later today ... well hopefully not too much later.
We played the stangest show last night. The venue was similar in style and patronage to a local Kelsey's. I was so nervous before we started thinking we would be booed or worse of the stage ... but instead everyone seemed to like it. I think we sold close to ten cd's. Now that is great.
I am glad to hear that you havn't replaced me yet and I will still be your favorite bike-ride/walking partner, right?
i'm totally suffering from c... withdrawal. when will you return?
glad to hear that things are good for you guys :)
i've also had a good day... i got a call about an interview with the aids committee and then i received an email from none other than david bray. crazy isn't it! i think it's been about 6 years since we've last spoken. i think i need to just sleep with him to get him out of my system. (malcolm... if you read that part, just pretend you didn't)
Well, sounds like good news. I hope the interview went/goes well with the AIDS committee.
I was in Calgary for two days and I got to hang out with Paul and Shanna for a bit. She seems totally stressed with the new baby and all and still isn't getting a full nights rest. It was so nice to see a familliar face though. I am kinda homesick these days with all the travelling and stresses of school and such. I can't wait to see you and of course see my 'lil lucy! Four shows left! Home on the 4th ... the same day Shanna is back in Ontario.
P.S. I saw some cowboys on this visit. We went downtown to see Polmo Polpolo play on our day off and in one of the dance clubs there was a little guy fighting a cowboy! The little guy won.
hip hip horray for the little guy! i'm not one who enjoys a fight... but i do like cheering for the underdogs.
can't wait to see you :) come home quickly.
