So I made it in. On the trip from Calgary, I wasn't entirely sure. I suspect that plane was something the Red Baron shot down and Air Canada had refurbished, and that it gained the power of flight through happy thoughts.
I'm a slow reader, but I read all of a manga and two-fifths of Michel Tremblay's La Nuit des Prince Charmants. La Nuit is gorgeous so far, and I keep imagining it drawn by Fumi Yoshinaga. It's her style of story exactly.
(There's so much French in her manga I wonder if she reads in it? Maybe I should send her a copy?)
I'm in Victoria for two weeks. That includes New Year's Eve. Victoria doesn't have a nightlife. They used to say Victoria rolled up the streets at night. I suspect they also string up garlic, put up crucifixes, and bar their doors shut against the Nosferatu.
