(no subject)
it has been almost two weeks, and i am more or less all settled into my new house. i love it. the house is old and full of character, from its 70's vintange metallic wood patterened front door, dated but sparkly light fixtures, and great big windows. it is situated in one of my favorite areas of town, on a languid, leafy street, and two big windows look out upon a row of businesses from which people come and go at an unhurried pace. it is a fabulous selection of businesses to have in front of one's house, i think; a gas station/convenience store, a cafe/organic market, a bar/restraunt, and of course, a canadian ski patrol facility which functions sort of as a good-looking man magnet. no problems with the roommate, we get along just fine and she has over 300 movies therefore i plan to refrain from shelling out money at the rental store for a good while. two guys live in the basement, who sometimes let me play guitar hero on their system. it is nice to have neighbours who i actually want to hang out with, and it is nice when jana is gone to know that there is somebody else close at hand, just in case. so, i will be posting pictures sometime soon on facebook of the house, after i take some. the pictures below however i took on a path near my house. it is a mere two blocks from my house, it follows the river and a few steps in and it is as though i have left the city far behind me.
