A little more than two weeks.
And yeah, I guess I'm worried. There's tension here. I got grass-is-greener disease and nothing cures it except the experience. I'm clicking those ruby heels for home.
Something that pisses me off is the idea that most of my best metaphors come from the movies, or the work of others. Allusory and little else, as if my conscious resides in the cultural artifacts of others.
Ultimately though, what else do we grasp at? Even Vancouver, in and of itself, the idea, is largely based on some idealized notion of the freedom of the West. It's readopted, and recentralized in the bosoms of those that are from, and those that go to, this wicked wild "frontier" land. None of the bureaucrats and all of the adventure.
All our conveniences and still none of the iron-clad ambition.
