Shea and I are off to the annual Fred Eaglesmith Picnic at Aylmer, just south of London in “Fred Country” for the weekend. Eaglesmith always connects the weekend to a charity and this year's is a fitting one which even loosely relates to some of the same issues being discussed after a recent post of […]
I know that the law classifies bicycles as vehicles and that's why they have to ride on the road rather than the sidewalk. But to me, that's never made sense. Except in the busiest areas (downtown, Richmond Row, at the University), sidewalks tend to have a lot less people on them than the number of […]
Christina and I are planning to have a pool party on Friday afternoon to celebrate the end of the semester and one of the last chances for many of us to spend time together before some of us go off to co-op placements or off to the real world. We're planning to start at 2pm […]
Why do my random thoughts posts always seem to fall around the time of a long weekend? Strange…Relationship TheoryI've been thinking about something quite a bit since July. I read a lot of relationship books and watch a lot of Oprah so I'm very aware of the theory that says anyone in a relationship can […]
I can't just post even a little blurb I find without having a mini-rant attached (but what else are blogs for?) so here goes… Wouldn't it be nice if we had a place to disseminate information like this to the entire program? Yes, we have a mailing list that goes to all students and faculty […]

This is a bit retroactive but yesterday, I e-mailed Marco D'Andrea, a first term student to thank him for an invite to his party on July 18 and apologise for not being able to make it (afternoon nap = evening spent doing pressing homework instead of evening = partying with first-term cohort.) Turns out that, […]
Of the 147 million Americans on the Internet, 12 million have blogs. (via PopBitch)
As I sit here at 3:39am on a Sunday night/Monday morning, drinking Corona by myself, I am reminded of the classmate who observed ALA could just as easily drop the “L” from their name and mean the same thing. (In my defence, it is STILL +26 outside and I am having Mexico flashbacks.) Man, what […]
Hard to believe but sometimes I have no idea what to write. So maybe I'll just do a stream-of-consciousness thing and see, uhm,…if I'm conscious. Went over to school today to hand in the last section of my Individual Study. Now I just have to put together a presentation and finalize arrangements to present it […]
