FIRST SHITTY BLOG POST FROM XCAN ROADTRIP

From Saturday Morning...

I AM BACK IN VANCOUVER.

On 5 hours of sleep, six hours of work, and six hours of horrendous driving, I made it to NY just in time for CX889. Dan and I spent six hours packed into the belly of a 747, making it to YVR at 2am. Aside from the stress of the extremely tight schedule, just about everything went okay. On the customs line, an overaged Paris Hilton type in smooth white formfitting crackless lowriding asspants told me my passport was so pretty!!! Where did I get it?

We stayed out by the airport, in Richmond, using some of my hotel points. Everything here is totally clean--even by the airport--it is not a filthy, overrated shithole like San Francisco. Plants hang from the street lamps. even though we're in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing but hotels and ethnic restaurants, but the people working in them don't seem to be miserable wage slaves (are they?). People are out and walking. Our rental car should be ready at noon, and then we'll be cruising free the rest of the week (!!!) over the Rockies and back.....back for five wasted downtown days of trying to work on the crafts I love in my favorite city yet.
