i’m off on another bike trip in about 7 hours. shit…i guess that means i’d better sleep soon. anyway, i’m riding out to kelowna to meet my friend ryan, and then we’re going to ride back to Vancouver.
this time, with much regret, i’m not taking my camera. it’s too big and [...]
I was just kinda stunned by a realization that now seems obvious, but somehow wasn’t before. I’m reading an article by Andrea Dworkin called “Feminism: An Agenda”, in which she explains (among other things) the context of abortion and what it means for women’s lives.
In my personal experience of discussing abortion abstractly (like in [...]
yesterday i went out to the “Zombie Walk”, here in Vancouver. It was a group of people (maybe 150 of them) who decided to dress up as zombies and stumble through the streets frightening tourists. quite the hilarious event.

since i’ve already put a few pictures up, i [...]
ya, so i’ve been slack on the blogging lately. i still haven’t written up my first long bike trip, and now i’m almost ready to embark on my second. i think i got caught up a bit in procrastinating on the writing, and then i just didn’t post anything. i’ll get on [...]
