Waves: Chinatown

I met a couple of fine ladies for coffee tonight at Waves Coffee in Chinatown.
It's a 24 hour establishment at the corner of Pender and Main Streets, just one block from the infamous "Hastings and Main".
Yadda Yadda.

It felt weird going in there because I'd been to the old place several times which was jam packed full of Chinese curios and every type of thing imaginable.

I got a Latte, of course, and I should have had some food, but I was feeling stunned and not thinking clearly. What I saw looked good. Possibly even vegan.

It's huge, with comfy seats. Open air in the front and back. Free wifi. Plus, just having an alternative to Starbucks™ is a plus.

The only drawback was that the "Beavertail" guy came to our table, and as deferential and polite as he was....I could not give him any money. I hope this does not make me a Yuppie object of scorn.

Whew

I guess procrastination is something that you never really get over.
I just went through another brief flirtation with the old habit, and was somewhat surprised to see how easily the whole avoidance thing came back.
I beat it though, and managed to get plenty else done in the process.

The knitting submission is off and running, and beyond my control.
I intend to make the piece regardless, because I'm obsessive and controlling about such things.
Especially my craft.
That's that.

What a maroon!!

W.O.W.
That was some hiatus.
I saw this and thought it was post worthy.....hahahahahaa

My favourite Palace Brothers song

I can't say which incarnation of Will Oldham I prefer, but this song is one of my best ever all time pick me ups.
Something about the great harmonies, the loose drums and laid back singing style. It's all good.
It's about as close as I'll inch to country music, and is up there with Freakwater for best indie old timey country ever.

And might I just say the "Flying Burrito Brothers are NOT country fusion Les!".
thank you.

Give a listen!!!

This is making it hard to get started this morning.

So much tragedy in the world.
So much suffering.
Makes me worry for the future.
Again.

Lemme Guess...

It must be the day after welfare wednesday, 'cause I've seen the fire truck go by about 4 times today.
Also, I saw an old acquaintance working out on our corner last night.

I wanted to make her a plate of chicken curry to go, but she took off down the street before I could get it together.

le sigh.

Somebody's knocking at the door....

Somebody's ringin' the bell.

You know the tune, and what with the Private Natural Gas Vendors and the Missionaries on the march, it's the song I've been singing lately.
The Jehovah's Witnesses were by the other day.
I must have been out, or occupied, because my husband saw them from afar and was trying to call and warn me.
Also, the bloody BC Liberals shoved something through my door.
As if......

But even weirder, was the God Graffiti I found directly out front of my door today.
I must say that this is a first, and I was initially creeped out, but now I am amused.
I don't think it was the woman I've dubbed "the witch", whom I have a photo of, but would rather not post.....but I doubt that she would get down on the ground to scrawl that.
She usually just walks up to my front door, looks up towards the rickity roof of my porch and stares. It is most unusual. But in a neighbourhood where some of the patrons wear aluminum foil helmets, there really isn't much that surprises me.

I did a google search on "limb of God" as if that might offer up some clues, but mostly all I found were sites devoted to talking about why God never heals missing limbs etc. Interesting, but not something I have time to explore at present.

I wonder if google will produce anything on "Limbo of God"? Sounds more fun definitely.
