Here’s a continuation of the story of the weekend in Seattle, which I have to post separately since the Blogger server says it’s too long:
smallest American hostel room I’ve ever seen
close quarters
- have a look at the hallway… it’s only just wide enough to accommodate the doors! At the left of the photo are the [...]

Sunday afternoon was spent at the Seattle Art Museum, where I took in the Mexican Modernism exhibition, which brought me back to the Latin American studies course I took at SFU in the summer. So I don’t feel so bad missing Spanish class Saturday morning. There were also a couple of other exhibits which were [...]

I’m back from watching The Tea Party at The Orpheum in a rock concert/performing arts event like I’ve never seen before. It was like going to the opera, the symphony, a rock concert, the circus, and a sitar jam session all at the same time… it was GREAT! They even gave away commemorative CDs on [...]

Back from a weekend mostly in Seattle. I booked tickets to see Janeane Garofalo on Saturday and dragged Erich down there to see her. What a good sport he is. I tried to get Erich to go on a road trip to San Francisco a few years ago, but he couldn’t go… we’re finally doing [...]

I can breathe now… the storm is over and I got through it… I handed in my Philosophy paper tonight, and last night I wrote my Linguistics mid-term. I was writing the last sentence of my paper 10 minutes before class was due to start! I honestly didn’t think I would be able to hand [...]

We celebrated it today, but her actual birthday is on Tuesday!

Returned from an evening at Joe Fortes for Erich’s 40th birthday — we had a great spot with a fire in the middle of the table! It was just like camping, but with a waiter! And no bears!

Bumped into Carolyn at Starbucks across from the library… I met her on the Hostelling International Chinatown tour from August. And how’s this for a blast from the past — I returned a phone call from Mrs. Berden (her son Daryl was a year behind me in school), who left a voicemail yesterday inviting me [...]

Biked to West Coast Air this morning to pick up the report to take to Copytime, and toured through the building sites at Coal Harbour… wow, what a hotbed of activity! The place is going to be unrecognizable in a year or so.

We went over Assignment #1 in Linguistics class, and I think everyone was shocked at their scores (I would venture to say marks were in no one’s favour). There is a mid-term next week!
Also, I have a Philosophy paper due next Wednesday! Egads! I have not been able to beat this B+ score in either [...]
