garranThe Liberals tabled their same-sex marriage legislation the other day. (In Windsor House nomenclature, to 'table' something is to put it aside until the next meeting, but apparently in Parliament it can be very nearly the opposite.) Wikipedia has a neat page charting how each MP is likely to vote; it reminds me pleasantly of A Civil Campaign.
Speaking of good books, apparently Diana Wynne Jones has a new one coming out this April. Yum.
I finally have a Langara bus pass this month; no more need I hesitate to go somewhere, or just wander around, because it will cost me money. It's surprising what a joy and a relief this mobility is, especially as the weather (cold winds notwithstanding) strives increasingly toward Spring. Soon - another month - there will be cherry blossoms. Already the air tastes wonderful. Perhaps sometime soon I'll get on the skytrain and ride it the whole way around, or get off somewhere I never have before; old enthusiasms waking anew.
