Home Sweet Home
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on September 2nd, 2003
Finally found a place to stay. What a great way to start the month. After a couple fruitless weeks of searching, the pavement pounding paid off, and I scored a sweet furnished room in a great house here in Sandy Hill, nice a close to school. I don’t know why I get lucky like this. Read the full article…
School Spirit(s)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 31st, 2003
Back on campus today. Saw another two apartments, both lacking that certain je ne sais quoi. [Ed’s Note: They were crap.] Had dinner at the ZamPub in the sports complex. A few dozen engineering frosh clad in various brightly-coloured t-shirts were sitting at tables, waiting for something. Eventually a guy in a construction helment with Read the full article…
The Best Laid Plans
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 30th, 2003
I would like to start today over. Some best laid plans all gang ague or whatever the hell that saying is. Started off by cleaning my wallet. Took out the bus tickets I use to get to campus, followed by all the receipts and papers that I keep for reference or the recycler, and got Read the full article…
Buck Off

Victor, Sabrina and I went back to Elgin Street to meet some of Victor’s old pals for drinks. En route we watched as a stag and stagette, from two different weddings, ran into each other on the street. They were kind enough to allow a photo. We met up with Mike and Dave and headed Read the full article…
Two Comments on Cross-Country Road Trips
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 22nd, 2003
Every highway driver in Manitoba goes 110 km/h. Exactly. You’ll come up behind a line of cars in the highway, none attempting to pass the one ahead. Ever. At 110 km/h. Thankfully, this makes them easy to pass. And if the looks of my grille is any evidence, the bugs on the #1 are made Read the full article…
Stinkfist

Went downtown tonight to watch Victor’s Tool cover band, Stinkfist, play Barrymore’s. His mom, a sweet Hungarian lady who prefers classical music, came with us to support her son. It was very cool, and the band was awesome, upstaging the Rush cover band that followed. I walked Victor’s mom back to her car before the Read the full article…
Kenora to Ottawa (I’ve stopped counting km)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 19th, 2003
Felt better on the morning of the 18th. In fact, when darkness fell, I just kept driving. I drove through the night, only stopping in the early morning for a quick nap before arriving in Ottawa. On my way out of Kenora, I finally got the speeding ticket I’d been expecting the entire way across Read the full article…
Saskatoon to Winnip… uh, Kenora (998 km)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 17th, 2003
Felt better this morning. This means nothing, of course. Got to Winnipeg and drove back and forth on the main drag, trying to find internet access to check my email for a message for Kathy regarding a possible friend’s place where I could crash. No luck. Kathy wasn’t home, and her voicemail was full, so Read the full article…
Calgary to Saskatoon (620 km)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 16th, 2003
Felt better this morning. Two Imodium seemed to have solidified the situation. Stopped at a PetroCanada being run by two teenagers. Full serve, one came out to fill the tank while the other ran the shop. As the first one was cleaning my windshield, he noticed that the pump wasn’t working, despite the fact that Read the full article…
Banff to Calgary (130 km)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 15th, 2003
Felt better this morning. Once on the road I realized that I wasn’t. You know when you go to fart, and then just as the fart is crowning you feel the wet squelch of something that is not a fart getting ready to make a run for it? This was my thankfully-short trip to Calgary. Read the full article…
