VICTORIA, BC CANADA
Headline: I'M 38 YEARS OLD, YIPES!...
WHO: it's all about me! hmm, that's sounds a bit "too much" ego, more like how or what I see around me if you're interested
WHAT: Latest of what's going on around here.
WHEN: now or this week or where abouts
WHERE: uh, here... Sidney and around, because that's where I am
WHY: just because, haven't kept up with y'all lately, you know
HOW: read below...
Topics of Interest, for me anyway:
Peanut butter still sticks to the roof of your mouth. No scientific break throughs to solve this, yet.
When its continually dry, people here actually like it when it rains... (I still don't like it. Yep, it's raining off and on today.)
Cuban Cab intercepted while "driving" to FL Keys, see below: http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/photos/05/0609/
Community News:
Sidney is not quite big enough (Bob Dylan played at the new arena/theatre in Victoria and I didn't hear about it until I missed it! Where were the Ads?) and not small enough. A bed room community where the ferry to Vancouver comes in. (Guess that's not really news if you're from here.)
The weekly summer market is cool. And I am addicted to all the bookstores
Environmental news"
People are tree-sitting up at Cathedral Grove, at least they were when I drove by last week. Apparently, the gov't plan is to cut some of the big trees to make a bigger parking lot.
I can't believe how many whale watching boats there are now, soon the whales will be filing harrassment suits in Court!
Checking out the Planet:
Chiang Mai, Thailand, where I spent last summer doing Thai massage, just got totally flooded. Can you say mud and mess? Found out on the Chinese news channel here, not on the regular news stations. ('Oh just another natural disaster with only 5 dead.')
Sports:
Went sailing this am. with my Dad. And as we pulled out of harbour the wind blew the fog away and the SUN came out! so we puttered about sailing and when we went in it clouded over again. Perfect timing.
Book reviews: I'm reading the last book (currently written, there are more to come) of an escapist, fantasy trilogy. This one is: Storm of Swords. Pretty good because after so many character shifts and each one about 1000 pages, I'm still reading... Shapeshifters, dragons, beheadings, krakens, walking dead; all that great stuff. Now to get on to Harry Potter latest.
Movie Reviews/News: Went out to see X-Men 3 being filmed at Royal Roads College, Colwood (0.5 hrs drive from downtown). Yep, actually saw Hugh Jackman and Anna Paquin with my own eyes (and some guy in a fat blue head!) but of course no photographic proof, someone stepped into the way just as I took it.
Quote of the Week: "Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been."-- Mark Twain
Coming Events:
I have NO idea where I'll be this Fall... My meager savings dictate "somewhere" that I can again make some cash. Let you know when I know if that's FLorida, California, Hawaii or??
This is Laurel Seaborn reporting live, from my Dad's leather couch in the front room. Later. this probably won't continue as a weekly but I'll see what I can do.
