Election Day

Today is election day in Canada. In Canada we have a parliamentary system wherein when we go to the polls we vote for the candidate in our riding who we want to send to the House of Commons as our Member of Parliament (MP), and the party who receives the most seats is then [...]

Hamstring Woes

Just got back from a couple of lovely days at the cottage spent doing absolutely nothing (other than cooking dinner last night and playing Scrabble this afternoon), which was lovely and gave me the time away and the perspective that I was craving. I love the cottage so much for that reason. I [...]

Quotidian Stuff…

Wednesday, June 23, 2004
I’m bored again. Just sitting at home watching High Fidelity. I read the book when I was in Asia (I highly recommend Nick Hornby books to anyone who wants a very funny, but not too heavy read), the movie is nowhere near as good, but that’s generally to be expected.
I went to [...]

Delicious

Monday, June 21, 2004
I feel that it’s time for a new post, but I actually don’t have much to say. Everything’s pretty much the same as it was last time I posted. In short, life is delicious and I’m splendidly happy…
I’ll let everyone know why in good time.

Divergent Paths

Sunday, June 20, 2004
Not too much new to report. I’m still in Hamilton, it’s still brutally Hamiltonian. I miss Montreal so much. I was reminded of this last night when I was out with a great friend of mine from HSC. We went out for drinks and a chat. I haven’t seen her in so [...]

Evolving

Tuesday, June 15, 2004
“Noon comes and turns this campus upside down/I watch the students in this college town/You would think they’re carefree, I have seen their trials/ Frowning into Shakespeare and practicing their smiles/Even underlining Nabokov/When I am not in love, in love/It happens every day/With their journals in cafes/Looking up at their reflections on [...]

Employed At Last

Monday, June 14, 2004
Yay! I got the job! I’ll be hostessing at an haute Japanese resto/cocktail lounge that’s opening in the heart of my city’s bar/resto district. And tonight I have to go for a tasting to try all the items on the menu…poor me!
Obviously it’s not a job that I want for the rest [...]

Feet on the Ground

Sunday, June 13, 2004
I have a plan. Thank God. I felt like I was going crazy this whole past week. Crazy with confusion, lack of direction and too much yoga in too little time (2 classes in 12 hours…one Tuesday evening an then again Wednesday morning, bad idea!). So I spent the whole week feeling [...]

Take Me Back to Asia

Thursday, June 10, 2004
Well, I think that it’s finally setting in, the trip and all that it meant and will come to mean, it’s starting to settle, start to make sense, coming together, starting to. Last night I was taking a yoga class at Katie and her Mum’s shala in Burlington (I’m home in Ontario [...]

These are the days that I’ve been missing…

Saturday, June 05, 2004
“These are the days that I’ve been missing/Give me the taste, give me the joy of summer wine/ These are the days that bring new meaning/ I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine/Sometimes when the nights are closing early/I remember you and I start to smile…” –Jamie Cullum, [...]
