Today was the day.<\/p>\n
I got up on time and headed out to the airport to greet my old friend\/new roommate. <\/p>\n
I have to admit to getting a little emotional at seeing someone from back home in Vancouver. <\/strong><\/p>\n I’m very thankful for the new Canada Line skytrain that links the YVR airport to the transit system. Having bussed out to the airport a few times with luggage, I can honestly say it’s a definite improvement.<\/p>\n I took along the Jeffery Deaver novel I bought myself at Christmas. I’d attempted to read it on my flight back to Vancouver after the holidays. I was only able to read a few pages when I had to put the book down. The writing was so horrid. Impossible, I tried to convince myself. This was a Lincoln Rhyme story, how could it be BAD? <\/p>\n Seriously, I love Jeffery Deaver. He’s one of my favourite authors… except for this book. <\/strong><\/p>\n On the skytrain on my way out to meet the flight, I opened the first page and started again. I managed to get far enough into the story to be intrigued. I think I’ll be able to finish it this time but WOW, this one isn’t close to his usual standard. (I’ve even gone back to his other books and re-read parts, just to make sure it wasn’t my perception that had changed because off all the editing I’ve been doing lately.)<\/p>\n Nope, it’s just this one.. whew. <\/strong><\/p>\n We got home without mishap and within 5 minutes of entering the house, my new roommate was on his computer, I was logged into mine and silence reigned supreme while we both caught up on emails, MSN and (in his case) texts. <\/p>\n Oh Yeah – this is going to be a beautiful roommate relationship \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today was the day.
