weekend update
this weekend passed by in a blur of over-sleeping, skittles and procrastinating.
progress on thesis: none whatsoever.
alcoholic drinks consumed: too many.
bags of skittles eaten: four.
number of fruit flies killed: at least 20, but they're still coming from somewhere, godammit.
went out on saturday to the cougar bar, where my friends and i ran into a very cute group of montrealers in town for a golf tournament. several drink tickets later, i was speaking french unabashedly (albeit very poorly) and who knew that "i like asian girls" actually doesn't sound quite as creepy when you say it in french? whatever. it's still creepy.
went to see some strange experimental jazz thing tonight, although i didn't know that it was going to be so strange. it was like being at a modern art museum, staring fixedly at a canvas with a red stripe down the middle, and trying to figure out what kind of statement the artist was trying to make. i'm sure it was great to those more enlightened than me - as it was, i stayed for half an hour, twenty minutes of which i spent pretending that the show was the soundtrack to a black-and-white french horror movie wherein the protagonist has a machete and kills zombies in his basement. really.
~~~~~~~~
i still haven't done that toronto update, which i should do this week before i go back to toronto to see the notwist.
list of things to do in toronto:
-buy mooncakes
-buy slippers from chinatown
-buy nail polish from MAC
-eat dim sum
-eat sushi
i wonder if i can cram that into the 36 or so hours that i have allotted myself in the big city...
~~~~~~~~
i have 30 days until my thesis needs to be submitted.
