Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

Happy Labour Day!
Hey there everybody. Hope you all had a fulfilling summer and all. At Alisa's request, I'm blogging again. It's been a while, so I'm also doing squats to limber up my blogging muscles. Oh yeah. Okay, now I'm ready. So, up to what the fuck have I been? Studying for the MCATs? Working for the Fringe Festival (pic)and a classical music magazine? Galavanting about town with my great cousin Debby, who had a summer internship here? Getting my anger on at the RNC in NYC? Answers: yes, yes, yes, no. Mostly it was the studying. But the test was fun and is over, so now I just have to wait, apply to schools and try to get a hospital job for the year. Plan B: a Master's in Public Health. Plan C: more Robinson Davies books and a whole lot of hot chocolate.

Elfrieda DyckMeantimes, in the last two weeks my brother and I got Tom out of the house and into a plane for Botswana, wrote some PR for the local church, reunited with the family for my grandmother's memorial service (NYT), then Misha returned to Vanier College and we welcomed a new housemate, Sachiko, into our home.* My grandmother's death was more sudden than expected, which meant that while we were sorry to not have shared last words with her, we are all very thankful that she died peacefully and comfortably. She was a great woman and a wonderful grandmother, and I miss her a lot. Thanks to those who sent condolences. Rebecca (my mom) will arrive from PA at the end of this week with my grandfather, who will spend a month in Montreal fixing up her place and preaching. We look forward to seeing them both again.

*We also hung out with Tasara and made her help paint.

Story: Last night I went to see "Paparazzi" for free, and still managed to get less than I paid for! For the first time in my life I felt like walking out of a movie (I guess we really do become our parents). I managed to sit it out, though, and after told manager dude why I found it so upsetting ("He just kills them and this movie acts like it's the best thing ever!" "Do you want your money back?" "No, I just think-" "Well, OK then.") and then I put some shit on the internet because really, what the hell.

Anyway, hope this little update finds you all healthy. Feel free to visit; colours are well good this time of year. Also, I'll make you eggs with maple syrup and we can talk about what you're up to. Or just email, that works too. You bunch take care, now.

PS: Derek, here's a neat little spelling test for aspiring copy-editors. Good luck, yo.
