I am back in Vancouver after 20 days in Regina (or about that many). I am tired, my place is a mess, my extra Christmas pounds are not needed in this mild weather, I have no more toilet paper, and the work is stacking up. But it all creates a lot of motivation.

I came home to not as much mail as I would have expected. I did receive an envelope from Canada Post, inside containing another envelope delivered from California by first class air mail. They say the envelope was found in a public place. Unfortunately its contents were cleaned out. It was supposed to contain 4 sheets of Don Hertzfeldt temporary tattoos; a gift for Jemma. Oh the pain. Why would somebody take them? I mean, okay, maybe I would. Still…

Then I just thought now - somebody out there may put these tattoos on. What would I do if I saw some guy walking around with Billy and his balloon on his arm??
