Lost in Space

Haven't written much here lately. Why, you may ask? I too have entered the vortex that is Facebook last month, and since then, have been writing friends, lost contacts, potential clients, you name it, over at that end of the e-way. This Facebook is certainly growing by leaps and bounds, and the Vancouver network is already up to over 386,000 members as I write this.

Pretty basic, the younger you are, the more online friends you'll probably have. A high percentage of my online buds are under 35. The over-40 crowd is seemingly either busy with family/career, or just not hooked up as of yet. It's quite the time-filler, heading over in the morning and seeing what everyone's up to in their own way (video, Wall, photo albums, status). I'd heard rumours that the company was facing being shut down due to an ownership issue of the actual product, but that was already a few weeks past.

As for Vancouver news, well, the BIG STRIKE of 07 is still glaring us right in the face. Garbage keeps piling up in the alleyways, the gorgeous outdoor pool here in Kits sits closed and filled with seagulls (such a shame on a day like today, with a mild breeze and temperatures around 25C). The library book that I'd reserved is in eternal transit hell, as the strike started one day prior to the book being ready at Kits Library. Wondering if I'll see that book at all this season! More importantly, when will the madness end??!?

Greetings from a sunny Kitsilano balcony,
