Life Downtown

Where just looking out the window is entertaining:

Yesterday we had mounted police presiding over a protest of Mayan oppression by the Mexican government (why such a protest would be happening at the corner of Bute and Georgia in Vancouver, Canada escapes me).

And today we had a legless man getting pulled up the hill by a bug.

Not even David Lynch could make this stuff up. Behold some of the wonders captured through the panes of my apartment windows (each will open in a new window): death, destruction, construction, monks, mounties, marathons, fake-marathons, photographers, drunks, druggies, traffic jams, mass stupidity, art, history, the moon, stars, stars again, a star's double, sparks, fireworks, fire, water, rain-makers, and lightning.

Wonderful pictures! I was hoping I could ask permission to be a more active in your Vancouver goth livejournal. I'm a Salt Lake City (Utah) goth, but I'm planning on vacationing and then Moving to vancouver and I'm hoping to make some new friends and contacts. Pardon if this was the wrong place to ask.

Sure thing, that's one of the things it's there for. The only reason I have the new member approval thing is to keep spammers out. Sign up and I'll approve you.
