Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment.
my roommate called me over to her room because a bunch of men were in front of our building arguing. her room has a balcony which faces out front, and since it’s a warm night her door is open, and it’s pretty loud… but what adds to it is that she can understand what they are saying. I’m not sure … Read More
currently have 4 people living in our 5-1/2 for the week (due to an overlapping roommate situation), and we all spent the day going to jean-talon market, cooking, and eating for hours on end. and somehow we ended up with twice as much dessert as any other dish. we live a very difficult, difficult life. our sausage lady (w. musician). … Read More
…are the way to go. To see K and S off before they go to Tanzania this weekend, a dozen of us went to a fabulous byow french restaurant called les héritiers, on de Lanaudière and Laurier. they have this wonderful 5-course menu dégustation, with an interesting trou normand of grapefruit sorbet in vodka. I’m always a sucker for duck … Read More
spent the whole day … eating. arrived by bus around 5.45 am, slept a few hours, then met up with a largely law student crew for some dim sum at kam fung (and although most of us were asian they still charged us tax, hmmm). followed by grocery shopping in chinatown, bubble tea, and sitting near place-des-arts under the sakura, … Read More
the relief didn’t hit after my last exam when about a hundred 2nd year law students invaded thomson house… it was hours later when I stumbled to the metro and realized I didn’t have to THINK ABOUT ANYTHING, I could just look around, at people, at buildings, at the sky… it was also the first time I noticed the poem … Read More
filled with snuffleupagus-like sidewalk cleaners, whizzing by schwartz’s and segal’s, sucking up coffeecups, cigarettes, and somebody’s school notes. I’ve hit the 20-page mark on paper no. 1. hooray!
it’s a curious group of people on the metro this 11 pm. some are reading like the normal rush hour crowd; others look dazed, as if they don’t know why they’re there; still others who are tired and want to be home and even their clothes look like they’ve been worn for slightly too long a day. 15 down, 45 … Read More
…a soundbite from a speech by Justice Abella that I just got back from. all the bigwigs were out, including Justice Fish, bernard shapiro, dick pound, heather munroe-blum, and other hotshots in the mcgill community. Dean Kasirer as usual showed off his ever-bilingual canny speech-giving abilities. at any rate, it was wonderful to meet justice abella afterwards and see how … Read More
S and I got our hair cut at tornade today. she asked a few of us if we were up to getting our hair cut for six bucks, and apparently I was the only one up for it. so it’s either an asian thing or an engineering thing, we both aren’t sure. mentor/teacher, coiffee, coiffeuse-in-training anyway, tornade is a hair … Read More
