it was desperately cold today. it was also the day I decided not to wear a sweater because the previous days had been so mild. Hume would have laughed.
the area near my house is an industrial complex which is still growing, resulting in half built factories. the ground is frozen and there is a scattering of snow. I cannot walk by the area without imagining "One Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich." Until I turn the corner and see the Tim Horton's sign. where was that when you needed it, Solzhenitsyn?
apparently, UW has a bit more life than the folks at UVic. The student union building at UVic was a pretty boring place to be, only occasionally lit up by protest, but I spent a very pleasant day reading about everything in the strangely named Student Life Building at UW. Over the course of a few hours, I was exposed to the UW Gamers Society performing loud atonal karoke (I believe it was Celine Dion's "I will always love you" that was rewarded with the most boisterous performance) which was subsequently drowned out by hindi dance music blasted over the loud speakers, followed by some interesting couch wars before I was driven out by Disney jeopardy and the titillating promise of both Shrek movies.
I may go back for the shrek movies.
