the upper classes run down

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

I’ve planned on doing this in previous years but never got around to it before it was too late. But now it’s my last year here at McMaster, so it’s now or never guys! Oolie boolie! “This” being my formalized initial impressions of each of my classes, so that at the end of term […]

dramedy of errors

Friday, September 8th, 2006

This has been a good couple of days. And here’s why:
Yesterday at a bit before four, I went out to play Tennis with Brian, Ian, Matt and later Casey. My room here locks. So I leave to play tennis, without my keys, and I lock the door behind me without really even […]

hammer town (take 4)

Summer has come to an end. It even feels like autumn outside already. Fin. Closed. Zippo. And in relation to that, right now I feel a widdle sad. Not for want of things to look forward to, but more for all the things that are going into the past as of me putting […]

Today is better than other days. It goes up to eleven!

Here we have a little hiheyhello to tell any who would worry that there is more to me than a radio playlist every Tuesday morning with two weeks off across the winter solstice. I realize that it’s been many moons since there was a regular howyadoing posted in these parts, and that’s a bit […]

a counterpoint of sorts. but what isn’t?

The bus. A lengthy chunk of metal, rubber, motor, plastic, polls and seats, blinkers — formed into some recognizable functional shape, wends down street after street. Pause for a pick-up or drop-off. Whirr and grunt back into motion. It’s among the biggest of the herd, coralled along the asphalt, directed by interchanges of […]
