soccer sunday

In the midst of my chaos (having misplaced 2 T4's along with a favourite pair of socks!) I still function and laugh and persevere....Just watched VITUS-another film to add to my list of favourites....(i remember how much I love Bruno Ganz's work....loved him in 'Bread and Tulips') I am thankful for going hiking yesterday with Julie and Luke to Lynn headwaters....a beautiful day! and living in a temperate rainforest, you must be willing to be spontaneous and in the moment, as you never know....when the rain might happen.

seasonally adjusted greetings again...

Sister DJ's Radio Band at Farmer's Market....Wise Hall Dec. '08 ccccccccolddddd day

day 3 of hot yoga-Bikram=on the drive
not sure that its 'me' or suits my body...although I know that the regulars would argue that it is for everyone and that it takes time to adjust the body to 'it'. I have not sweated this much ever!!

i am going two more times as I bought unlimited pass for week...hopefully I will not pass out!!

cobalt art

interesting observation at this bar...they took the doors off the washrooms for various reasons...and now the patrons get these views while watching their favourite hardcore band...

having a merry little musical day

I'm zoning in my iTunes....making nifty additions to my playlists.....now to find my lil' ipod....so freakin' little...and get a new car stereo that will play on these new tunes (and finally rescue my Neil Diamond cd thats been trapped in my car for over a year!)

Me and Shelley, one Dec. snowy night....the beginning of the winter wonderland Vancouver 2008...the first I remember since 1996....when Commercial Drive felt like we were in Moscow in the 20's...or something...Wii is playing in the distance....i am comfortably numb...needing a good workout and massage....

'mismeasuring' memories

In a university, not far away, not too long ago...i was sitting in a hermetically (i actually spelled this correctly! wow) sealed humanities building, taking a course called Race and Racism:the beginnings of the 'race' concept. One of my favourite books is by Stephen Jay Gould "The Mismeasure of Man" . We used another book called: "Designer Genes" speaks about 'eugenics' being used in Malaysia during the 70's/80's...sterilization of the poor so there would be less poor people...i was shocked to learn that Canada was guilty of the practice too...
