Upset Universe

My dear friend Lesley has brought to my attention some really interesting points that I would like to share with you. As much as I have really enjoyed myself here in Vancouver, there have been some weird things that have happened to me since I have arrived:
  1. I worked at a café where I was being watched and listened to by my manager – I cannot confirm this, but I believe it to be true.
  2. There was a crazy snow storm here in Vancouver in November and every Vancouverite that I have spoken to says this: “this has never happened before, it’s not usually like this…” blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda,….obviously they’re liars and don’t like to admit that they actually get winter EVEN though they do!
  3. It’s December and I wake up in the middle of the night to howling, gail force winds. I was scared, I was pretty sure the apartment was going to topple over. Later I found out that trees that have been here for billions of years have been up-routed out of the soil, oh ya, and the Aquarium in Stanley Park was been closed.
  4. In November I started a new job and the first two weeks that I started there it was pouring rain outside like mad…I got soaked a number of times. Due to the large amounts of rain there were problems with some water holder things and this made the water in Vancouver BROWN. They had a warning out not to drink the water and because I didn’t know about the warning I was actually drinking the water.
  5. I defrosted some bananas in the microwave and then out of nowhere they burst into flames.
  6. My cat has had to go to the vet twice since we’ve been here; she never had to go to the vet in Toronto.
  7. My bank card was copied and someone stole money from me.

Lesley is right; I have upset the balance and the force of the universe. Just like when I went traveling to the UK and I went to Brighton and a few days after I left the pier burned down. Then when I went to Glasgow I stayed at this really nice hostel and then I heard a week or two later the hostel had burned down because of some electrical fire.

Perhaps I should stay in doors at all times. I’m a destructive force.


Please advise.

  • Caryl,

    You don't know me, but I know you. Is that scary?

    No, seriously, I am a friend of Evan's and in true internet-stalker fashion, I found your blog and, after reading a couple of posts, felt I had to comment:

    a) Fucking bank card thieves, what the hell?!
    b) I arrived in Rome, went to get some gelato, and then the Pope died.
    c) You saw BONO?!
    d) Your writing style is strangely addictive and is keeping me awake at my boring, shitty, 9-5 job. Thanks.
