So I’ve decided. I’m going to do the Terry Fox 10k. My goal is to raise $100. You can click here or on the Terry Fox page in the Margin to donate. I know you want to. I went for a run today around the campus, call it training if you wish. Not so bad; it got the blood pumping. Came back in the rain. What am I going to do in winter? Do I look good in tights?

It’s been a really rainy couple of days in Toronto. I feel sorry for the international frosh who went out to the Centre Island yesterday. Must have been pretty wet for ‘em. I guess I’ll hear the stories come the start of school and our pot-luck on the 6th. I still can’t believe summer is over. Time is such a mystery to me. Gone in a flash. I imagine that 90 year old people wonder where their life went in the same disbelief. No worries, we’ll get there soon enough.

Bumped into Thor and Lucia on my way to food cents. They kidnapped me and we went to this wonderful little Jewish restaurant off Bathurst. The name escapes me now, but I’ll post a link when I remember. Lovely baked salmon. It’s so great to speak Creole again with the two of them. Haven’t done that in sooo long. Helped them move some boxes in exchange for food and transport, I’d say that was a good deal.

I borrowed two movies from SMIL to whittle away the holiday weekend, and true-to-form, I haven’t looked at them yet. Odds are that one of them goes back without having been watched. I’m studying Othello. I downloaded a dramatized version from Audible and now I have two versions of the film sitting here. One is from 1995, directed by Oliver Parker with Laurence Fishburne in the title role and the other is the 2001 adaptation with Mekhi Phifer and Josh Hartnett. I’ve listened to the dramatized audio version a few times now, never straight through mind you, but it’s really good. There is a scene where Othello is talks to his wife Desdemona before he kills her and their conversation will send shivers down your back. That, my friends, is drama.

Speaking of drama, the Stratford festival is on as well as the Shaw festival, and I want to see some plays. Soulpepper is doing King Lear, and there is Spamalot et al. I must go while the going is good…

Well Eri comes back tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the last day for the EX so I doubt I’ll be home much. I know I should do some work. Do you think I can do both?
