Back to the grind

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Back to work already. Not like I really left here anyway. I’m slogging away on a historiography paper and making a bit of headway on it. Not too much, but a bit. Hopefully I can get it done before Monday. The first rough, rough cut is done, but now some meat needs to be put [...]

First of January

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

So the year has started. With a snow storm. I guess this is still Canada. But it’s not all bad, last night was lots of fun. Right now I’m in a Coffeetime on Lawrence, writing, reading and gearing up for a major paper that will be due in about a week. I’ll be spending the [...]

After the marking

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

I’m all done now. Finished marking pretty much the last paper. Technically I’m not done because I still have a couple stragglers who sent their work in via email, but that’s only two or three. My save-the-best-for-last strategy worked wonderfully, and those students in the favored pole position did not let me down. It’s so [...]

On Missing the bus…

Monday, December 10th, 2007

So I’m supposed to be on the bus now, heading to Fredericton, to see my best buddy Ian and his family, who are spending a year up there while his wife gets her Masters in Education. I really wanted to go and see how he was doing, but as per usual, there were a couple [...]

Here again

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

The friendly people at Bell tell me that I might have to wait another 5 business days before I can smell internet in my home. Somehow I don’t believe them, but I don’t want to use up all my daytime minutes on hold to the bastards. This is a three month test, and thus far, [...]

Friday

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Just came from watching X-Men 3. They have these wonderful free movies on campus and it fits in at a really good time for me. I can catch my breath and say whew. That being said, X-Men turned out to be a pretty bad movie. Poorly written, nice effects. They killed off a hell of [...]

Mission: Impossible

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

Hello there. What a nice day we had today. Got up before 11 am today. So that’s the start of the good news. Mosied (is that a word?) on down to York International, where I found out that I am not eligible for the LACS bursary that I’ve been eyeing for the last two years. [...]

Reviews and things

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Its a rainy day in Stuttgart. Again. Theresa is studying and I should be quiet. I was thinking of going to the Museum today, I don’t know, maybe I will still go, but its already 3. Anyway I’ve had these books that I wanted to at least mention, and here is this post. Oh, and [...]

Sexual Politics

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Its late and I can’t sleep and my mind is racing so much that I can’t read. The only thing that seems to help at these times is to write. So here I am in front of the computer, thinking about the last few hours.. I attended a beautiful lecture by Carolyn Cooper, a professor [...]

So many Bahamians

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

Well Mudda Sik dread! I had no idea that there were so many of my fellow countrymen here in York university. I had heard rumors of their existence, but had yet to meet them. Last night I decided to duck class and attend a shindig put on by the Bahamian High Commissioner in Canada downtown [...]
