Nov 19, 2009 - Considering Rambo and first pictures of my hood

After a ten hour flight (Slumdog Millionaire, Moon, Two American Office and The History of the NHL), I got to Canada in a plane buffeted and dropping up and down and coming in like a winged and pissed albatross. But we landed and Vancouver was bucketing but I got to the hostel with no worries. ... I was happy Mum forced me to take my German army great coat as a) it was bucketing down b) i found out within minutes of arrival the town Rambo walks into before being chucked out by the sheriff is only a few miles north of Vancouver and I`m now in a position to re-enact that scene (and perhaps the rest of the movie). ... The only negative thing I can think about wearing my jacket is a)homeless people keep trying to sell me three cigarettes for a dollar thinking i`m one of their own and b)when the hoods up i can`t check the traffic turning the corners i`m crossing but as i always look the wrong way first at the moment it doesn`t really matter.After a ten hour flight (Slumdog Millionaire, Moon, Two American Office and The History of the NHL), I got to Canada in a plane buffeted and dropping up and down and coming in like a winged and pissed albatross.
