[2007-03-20 – this page continues to be one of the most hit pages on my site for reasons I cannot figure – I assume it is the mention of either Darth Vader or Eminem. But those terms have millions of other sites that should be ahead of mine in your searches. So if you have hit this page, can you please leave a comment to tell me how you ended up here? Thanks in advance!]
Broke the fast
and instead of going to the Westside Diner with David, Sabina, Ella for
breakfast as I have pretty much every week since getting here, we
decided to shake things up and go for Dim Sum (Translation: “Tiny
filling goodness”)
David and Sabina are going to Alberta for the break so we asked them to
say 'hi' to Calgary for us. They have a day to kill in Calgary
when they get there waiting for Sabina's brother who's arriving on a
later flight so we suggested spending the day on the patio at the Ship
& Anchor (one of the best patios I've ever been on). But
they'll probably go the Badlands which is okay too, I guess.
Went to school but none of my outstanding (in the sense of “yet to be
returned”, not “wow, that's an unbelievably exacting answer to a
hypothetical reference question!”) assignments were back yet. Too
bad – I had some fun with my final reference question and am looking
forward to seeing how I did.
Of course, my mark can go one of two ways since, instead of the usual
paint-by-numbers answer the RQ's have become for most of us, mine
became a surreal narrative of a patron, standing in my living room
berating me as Scots in kilts berate my classmates. There's also
references to a grasshopper, a frog and Darth Vader. Even if I
get a bad mark for doing that, I hope I managed to break the boredom
that marking those things must be.
Came home and watched a video Shea got from the library on Montreal (we're going for a week during break) then had a nap (I love
naps!) then had supper and now working on one of my two outstanding (in
the sense of “yet to be handed in”, not “wow, that's cracker-jack
wicked-ass writing!”)
(Do you ever get the sense I post just for the sake of postings without having anything to say? Yeah, me too…)
NP: “Shake That” – Eminem. Shea asked me to download this song,
not having heard it before. I play it, she likes it but doesn't
remember asking me to download it and simultaneously, we both realise
why it sounds so familiar – it's the song voted most likely to be
pumping in our next door neighbour's apartment at 3 a.m. Kinda
funny actually – even when I'm cool and hip and back in school, I'm
three months behind all the trends. (Oh well, better than three years I guess.)
