Well, well, well. Several events have occurred since I last updated.
Friday, December 12:
I handed in two concert reports properly and stuck the remaining two to the bulletin board outside the professor's office just before the building closed. ( ... )
Picked up my Canadian Music essay and was pleased to discover "Louis Riel" CD-Rs included. If it hadn't been late, I would have gotten an A- on the essay. Watched all three acts that very evening, of course, because I'm a dork.
Saturday, December 13:
Somehow managed to catch the 8:54 train to Toronto.
That evening, Mum and I went to a fundraising concert ( ... ) the highlight was, without a doubt, getting to see the genius of Brent Carver in action again. ( ... )
Wednesday, December 17:
Mum and I headed to Toronto with the intent of (as she puts it) "swearing at the Americans", ( ... )
After lunch, we whiled away the remainder of the afternoon by going to a cinema to see Elephant. A chilling movie. I'm still not really sure what I thought of it.

And that evening, we witnessed our first evening-length concert by Betty & the Bobs... and it was good. ( ... )
December 20:
Saw a figure skating show with Deirdre and Mum. ( ... ) These people are treated like rock stars in Canada.
December 21:
The annual family expedition to a Christmas tree farm. It was dragged into the house only today; we'll have to decorate it tomorrow once the rain dries off.
December 22:
Another trip to the Consulate, this time successful. ( ... )
Met up with
michaelsjournal (a friend from Mt A), walked around Toronto a bit, ate some "Japanese" fast food, and saw (appropriately enough for the day) In America. A good movie. Not perfect, but good. (I was never really sure why a girl in 1982 has a camcorder with a pop-out screen.)
At some point in the past week, Mum and I went for a walk in the snow at the conservation area. Too bad it's now completely gone.
