life is short

We have arrived in Canada! (Obviously this means I need an icon with a maple leaf on it or something. Or one of Benton Fraser looking particularly Mountie-ish. I have not decided yet.) We are settling in to the Mole Kingdom, and have discovered its particularly... handcrafted elements. (Seriously, does every homeowner in this city decide that any basement or attic can be renovated into a livable space with a little bit of elbow grease and drywall?) But it is spacious and cool (temperature-wise, which I'm sure will be a detriment in winter), and is a decent enough starter apartment. Marpole is surprisingly nice, and I look forward to eating my way through its main drag. We have bank accounts and more importantly, library cards. All we need now are cell phones and driver's licenses and we'll be set. I am not thinking about cleaning our old apartment because that will suck a lot.

More proof that I spend too much time in Vancouver: In Supernatural, I can identify the sound of the Skytrain.

Watching 2.10 now. I like Ellen and Jo, or maybe I'm just happy to have the presence of females who aren't victims and/or sex objects. They probably won't survive, but I am glad they are around now. Angst and emopants for the boys--combined with Vancouver, MOTWs, and the alumni, it feels like X-Files. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it.
