tugboats and sunsets
For the past week I've been relatively homeless. Once again, I am couch surfing. My roommate is rennovating and I can't sleep in my room because the entire contents of our living room, dining room and her guinea pigs are all being stored in my bedroom. But I digress....Luckily, a friend has voluneered her lovely North Van couch to me. I've decided after three nights there and 6 rides on the 'Sea Train' that I ♥North Van. Walking to the sea bus every morning and taking the boat is a pleasantly different experience to the crush of elbows that consitutes riding the Sky train. People politely stroll on to the boat. There are always enough seats. Everyone quietly reads their papers or watches the mountains get smaller as we drift towards Vancouver. If you're gonna fall in love with Lotusland this is the way to do it. Its not a bad way to start your 9-5 slog. Plus! This morning I found a wharf where real live tugboat dudes hangout. Now I know where to go to ask for a ride. Fuck seadoos. I'm stoked on getting a ride on a tugboat.

Calling all romantics. Looking for a place to take your sweetie with a killer view to enjoy the sunset? You don't have to do the Grouse Grind, you don't even have to go to English Bay. One of East Van's best rendezvous secrets is the Nanaimo street Skytrain station. The sunset view of the city is bloody gorgeous from the skytrain platform. This spot for an ideal cheap date: $2.25 each for the Skytrain ticket, $5 for your fave mini-bottle of booze, $0 for a brown bag = under $10 for lurv on a budget.

At the very same Nanaimo street skytrain station there was a guy with a really cool hoodie last night. He was probably First Nations. On the front of his hoodie it said: Got land? On the back it read: "Thank an Indian". Love it! Hopefully with the the BC gov't' "New Relationship" document the message that the hoodie carries will diminish with time as First Nations once again gain some control of their lands, title and resources. Read these two articles here and here for more info.

welcome to the blog world my friend!
I concur... I also heart North Van. It slows down a little here, there's beaches, tugboats, carribean-canadian breakfast places that take forever but whose owner devulges that she has three boys and swings both ways if you know-what-I-mean, a Shockbusters (an alterative vido store whose monster film selection is amazing), and that fantastic seabus ride.
I actually have a *boyfriend* who lives in North Van. I use him for his location (he has a view of the Lions!!!), but let's keep that on the down-low.
Ipooforjesus - good idea on the countdown for the seabus. I would suggest it to Bean around the World (fuck Starbucks).
Thanks for the First nation links mir. Strange question, do you know anything about the outcome of the blockade in Haida Gwaii?

Independent loans analyst Iain MacQueen-Sims is critical of loan consolidation, saying: "The Americans tend to call it predatory selling where you take advantage of a particular borrower's situation.
"They're called toxic loans because they can damage your financial health. You end up being in a worse situation than you were before. This is bad news especially when your home is at risk."
Next year the value of the secured lending industry in the UK is likely to be worth more than �30bn.
