A Collection of Events (Aka My Life)

I had a busy day yesterday (class, paper to write, lots of reading, and private tutoring), and for some reason, last night, I just couldn't stop and go to bed. Maybe it was The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (finally in Canada!) that made me laugh too much. Anyway, I slept very little last night, have yet to have a cup of coffee, and yet, I've accomplished a lot this morning. Go figure.

The weirdest thing happened on Sunday afternoon. I dropped off my DVDs at the videostore, and was on my way to the library to drop off my books. A guy just says hi to me on the street, and I reply hi. Then, he asks me if I want to go out for a drink. LOL Talk about random! Hee. One of my friends used to say that the only persons who will speak to you on the street or in the subway in Toronto are people of questionable mental stability. It's a very sad fact albeit often true. I really miss Montreal for the casual friendliness and warmth of its people.

Gina, on the bus this morning, I was listening to the Live From The Archives CD you gave me. I am still listening to it as a matter of fact. It is such a beautiful compilation of songs stripped down to their purest form: a voice and an instrument or two. Alanis's guitar version of Everything and Sarah McLachlan's piano only version of Fallen just make me want to cry. I also love Melissa Etheridge's Come to My Window, Grant-Lee Philipps's Mona Lisa, Nelly Furtado's I'm Like A Bird, Gavin de Graw's I Don't Want to Be, and Pat McGee Band's Beautiful Ways.

Busy week in perspective. Lots of research work to get done, applications for internships, patient report to finish, papers to read for my class next week,... However, I get to have fun tonight with a friendly game of poker with some grad students from neighbouring labs.
