god, phoebe, why do you have to be such a damned good writer?! evoking the yaletown pigeons of vancouver like that is almost enough to make me cry! oh what i wouldn't give for another experience of the utterly surreal yuppiness that is kits- and yaletown-happy people being totally oblivious to reality. reality is harder to deal with.
i've been trying to call your cell, but each time have been met with either a busy signal or ceaseless ringing. do you have a phone number set up at your new place yet? call me some time (416-805-8404), i miss hearing your calm and quiet voice.
in the meantime, toronto seems okay. i love queen st. west (where val and adriana took me walking yesterday) because it has all the funky phoebe-like shops. do you still think you might come by this city at some point this fall/winter, while you're out east visiting audrey? because that would be ever so lovely.
all animal life in yaletown seems secondary to the animal-like behavior of its inhabitants. Aside: isn't it odd how people refer to Yaletown like it's a separate enclave within Vancouver, like a mystical video-game-like island?
sorry for being so out of contact. hope my email/this lj comment in some way assuages it. in fact I sort of feel out of contact with myself. with all the commuting, I wonder if I left some of myself behind somewhere.
I would love to visit, but all of sudden the paper-thin plans I made at the end of aug. seem uncertain to me. I don't know how my work would feel about me taking off for 2 weeks and I would like to still to close the thesis-part of my life.
you sound sort of homesick. go out and say hello to someone. sept introductions only swing by once.

oh phoebe, that's because yaletown is a separate enclave within vancouver, like a mystical video-game-like island. it's the happy never-never-land of starbucks-drinking, dog-walking, yoga-practising, porsche-driving yuppies who can afford and can't live without all of the above. followed closely by kits, of course. and, as a pseudo-vancouverite once pointed out to me, you can only mock and laugh at them for so long before you start finding yourself contemplating doing the same thing... (well, that comment was applicable to me, probably not so much to you who have the stronger sense of identity and will-power.) there's nothing that la-di-da in toronto, i don't think. i almost miss it :P
