assembling my own visa

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2006.02.06

I'm assembling my own visa for a return to Tokyo. It seems that for my employer in Toronto, I'm now accounted for on an overseas visit and there's no job for me to return to (along with no home). I gather that they've been billing the client for my accommodations.

And those accommodations? I decent little B&B in North Vancouver. It's run by a Polish couple and I'm enjoying it. I bought a round of drinks last night for a lesbian couple that married in their native Switzerland are honeymooning here. They told me that in their country there were people who would not celebrate their marriage. I told them to stay out of the Interior!

It's weird, man. People can watch a movie where thousands of people die in a war and not a tear. Yet one collie dies .. and the entire nation collapses with grief.
