ah, house deconstructionism

waterloo is a go.

I arrived early yesterday. Since I was expecting -40 and snow up to my neck, I was pleasantly surprised by the rather temperate -1. I was supposed to head straight into toronto and visit with negin but i was ridiculously hung over. While I only distinctly remember drinking a bottle of wine plus a little champagne, I also have a slight recollection of Newell striding in with a bottle of crown royal. After that I remeber saying, just once, "wow, my drink is strong."

The rest of the party, for me, consisted of dancing retardedly, fast paced conversations, chanting my mother's name (other people did it with me), and breaking asher's house because I thought (1) someone had already started it and (2) it was funny. I devolved into a frat-boy. I busted a wall with my head.

While this would, in a previously life, have been something I would have been loudly proud of, I am now a renaissance man and, as far as I can tell from extremely exhaustive research, no renaissance men were ever house-breakingly drunk (by the by, that is my new adjective for really drunk. It used to be "retardedly drunk" but "house-breakingly drunk" is much more evocative).

My new house is well located across from two pizza joints and two coffee shops (including a tim hortons which is almost as prevalent as churches here, at least from my observations on the drive in, although the churches are quite a bit bigger. I may have driven through god-district though and godly men have no need for stimulants or crulers).

An initial indication that vegetarianism is perhaps not as popular here occured when I went to get a pizza last night and asked for the vegetarian toppings. There were no sun-dried tomatoes, no spinach, no chevre, no artichoke hearts. What is this, the middle ages? Hello.

The house is sparcely furnished (and no TV currently!) and, supporting the stereotype of lonely engineering types, the magazines in the bathroom are FHM, Maxim and Electronic Gaming Monthly. I think I will fit in quite well. Although I am going to need my educational blogs more than ever. Jump on it, renaissance men.
