Victoria

For 9322 and tricksterpants: Purple City! (You have to have lived in Victoria when the Empress was still lit up with sodium lamps to get this...) valerian and I got back this afternoon from a little mini-vacation in Victoria. It was a nice break from the usual as well as a bit surreal since I used to live in Victoria twenty years ago.

YEAH!! Hahahaha... that made my evening! I was over there last weekend with Mel for a little Thanksgiv'er jaunt and it was nice, but yes definitely surreal. It's so familiar but so far away, y'know?

That makes me nostalgic! I love living in Germany, but Victoria is so safe and familiar. I am looking forward to having a little working vacation there next summer in between working here and moving to Ottawa for grad school.

Blade always wanted to get the gold statue on the top of parliament, he said our fortunes would be made, but he couldn't find a willing helicopter pilot ;)

THAT IS TEH AWESOME!!!
I so miss the days of Purple City....
And it is right that no one can really understand what we mean unless you lived or visited Victoria in the 80's/early 90's.
I an quite sure alot of others would remember this as well....Gram, Pix just to name a few!
Thanx.
That totally took me back to my high school punk days!
