another year
in what was supposed to be my first september without school, it is now the night before school starts. for which will be grade 21? is that math right? wow, i am a lifer. and lookin at another 4 or 5 for a phd? though now i’m actually in more of a limbo than another proper year of school. my department was in need of another teaching assistant, and my supervisor wanted me to be his research assistant, copy writing for his book series, and my thesis was coming along, but it would have been hell to finish it by august, so i’m a ubc’er for another term (maybe two, i kind of really like being a TA so why not). once i decided i was staying on, the thesis work became almost non-existent. instead, the priority shifted to poutine. figured i would use my magical free flying powers (meg i luv youu) to go to montreal and home again, and since i was checking out mcgill and concordia as potential phd schools, i can rationalize 8 days of visiting friends and boozing as a ‘working holiday’. bri and dal showed me around their envious school and city, despite all their own thesis prep/stress. much thanks..
my battery charger was lost, so i didn’t take my camera, but dallas was there to capture all of the beer-hotdog-and-poutine-fueled sacrilegious, picnic-in-the-park good times.

and then i went to ontario, mostly for paige’s party for mobilemoment.ca, which she booked annie to dj. my favourite part was when she played flat beats.
and annie has a new album, “don’t stop,” which is really good. the indie world has its kylie minogue.

I was wildly upset I missed you that week you were home. I do plan to be out to vancouver before year’s end, maybe you will be better at living somewhere than i was.
