Arrival in Vancouver

Have been in Vancouver two days now. Everything going tolerably well. Bags and boxes and boxes and more bags all unpacked (moving always makes me want to sell all my possessions and be a nomad) into my larger-than-I-remembered it room. Basic orientation established, homesickness felt, rainy weather experienced. Laurena and Ben = awesome, roomates are very nice (especially adorable kitties), and area I'm living in is quite trendy and exciting. 56 k dial-up modem in apartment is not so good (hence radio silence) but that'll be rectified soonish. Expect updates in a few days.
