a room of my own.

international women’s day, darren’s birthday, three months since the arrests, witnessing my first termination as a union rep this afternoon – circles on the calendar to drink remembrances to at some future distance. good thing i’m feeling detached today, otherwise all of this might gum up my insides. we’ll see how long this lasts, i’m hoping i can keep the observer stance through the firing as it will do no good to anyone if i can’t keep my wits about me.

drank beers last night with a friend, slept at firetrap’s house (which as i told a friend on the weekend is the premium place to stay in the city – long couch, living room door that shuts, cute roomates, good tea – that’s some deluxe couch-surfing conditions), woke up with extremely bloodshot eyes (very rare for me).

i have been pondering again lately the idea of renting a room in the city, mostly because it seems i am staying in a lot right now and usually do stay in one night every week or two. i think it would be better to have keys and a place i could stash a few things (no need for kitchen access or anything like that).

to that end i’m putting it out there that if you have an extra room in your place either downtown or in east vancouver, or are moving in the next few months and would be interested in having an extra $200-$300 per month (i would really like to keep that around $200 if at all possible) and a hassle-free keyholder (honest i’m not that keen on staying in the city, but it gives me more options)… let me know. really, my needs are very modest – a closet with enough room for a foamie and access to a bathroom is all i’m after. i really am *not* interested in moving back to the city even on a part-time basis. i’m not even sure if a room is necessary, but am just putting it out in case the perfect situation exists and i just haven’t found it yet.

i’m also feeling like i need to upgrade wordpress and redesign this blog sometime in the near future – so if any of you designers out there have some ideas you want to throw my way – please feel free! once i’ve got that out of the way – i’m hoping to return to more interesting writing here and more photos (it’s all been a bit too blog-ish lately if you ask me).
