people running from nothing and parades.

this morning i woke-up rather early, not that i wanted to, and decided that i would try and take advantage of this by getting some shit done. i needed to do some recycling, get some ground coffee, drop off a chair to marcy's garden centre, go to the bank and pick-up a few groceries. then i remembered/discovered that the sun run was this morning. fuck. yesterday my driving back from richmond was all fucked-up by the sikh parade that seemed to take up most of south and east van making the trek across the knight street bridge a disaster. so today as i tried to also get fuel for the elephant-which of course went up 7 cents since last night (i swear to god someone's gonna take a gun and start taking out oil tycoons soon enough), i was met with police blockades and forced to drive a whole lot more than i really wanted to. in the end i decided home was the place for me. i made a quick stop in at jj bean on powell, dealt with some local freaks at sunrise market and got the hell home. i think i need to try and keep track of all the goings ons, parades, runs and festivals a little more closely as they make my heart and back ache. better to leave town or stay in bed until it's over on these days. i think the companion and i are going to go to a sunday movie matinee today.
but for now it's the wings/flames game. go wings. and later on it'll be go bombers as we take to the ice for the first time a s a real team. good times.
