What I'm listening to: Half Day Closing-Portishead.
Wandered around the Plateau today, found it too closterphobic (sp?). Not enough open ambient light. Then cruised up to Mile End to see what I can see. Started to rain and get really cold...feels like England. I'll probably head up there and see what else I can find.
I heard that pads around Jean-Talon are nice and cheap, but one is really far from the action. That's a card I'll play if Mile End turns out to be too expensive.
I saw a real dive in the Plateau, that was expensive for what it was. About the same as I'm paying now for half the space.
I received an email from a former prof asking me to write 5 pages on Muslim communities in Britain, for $300 out of his research grant. I suppose when one door closes, another opens up. I'd much rather write this small bit, than work at the Archives, even though The Man will pay me mucho dinero for really doing nothing. And, the Archives is a pretty cool place to work, but academic writing is even cooler.
I feel like I've grown a lot ever since attending the conference. I have a better idea about career choices, as well as what direction I would take my life in. For all the wierdness, the training has been priceless.
Here's a question that I've been thinking about this morning, that I would like to throw out at my readers. If you like, respond by sending a note.
If you were to judge somebody's probable sexual performance based entirely on their career choice, what profession would be best in bed?
