junkies don't get sundays off...

i've been missing gardening a whole lot. garnet said i can plant on his patio..give it some colour. so we hopped in his new element today...filled it up with plants and i spent a nice afternoon planting the stuff. it was great.

garnet lives in gastown. he lives in a nice loft but not the best part of town...junky central really. there are efforts being made to change the area...but i don't see how they can do that. things are too far gone now. so...vancouver housing market as it is.... people with money are moving in around the down and outers. condos going up..expensive ones that sell within a day or two..some worth millions of dollars. if i had a million dollars to spend..i would buy a place where i have to step over a junky when i leave my apt...would you? do these people really think the government is going to come in a clean house for them??? we shall see....

anyway...the reason i started in on this tangent. as i planted 5 floors up....i listened to the sounds of the city...the sounds of a very busy neighbourhood. the noise just doesn't stop...you hear all kinds of things...it's pretty incredible. hard to explain really. i wonder if anyone has ever recorded it? that could be interesting. i would like to do that...if i knew anything about recording. i found it especially interesting that i couldn't see what was going on...only listen and imagine. these people they are super busy....animated....i guess it's a hard job, what ever it is they do down there... and i don't think they get a day off.
