RUN LIKE HELL

Hahaha. She went on exchange for an entire year, so she basically forgot the stuff that occurred and transpired... (nearly two years ago now). Talked for an entire hour, so it must have gone well. We will probably meet up again in a month or so.

I'm having coffee with Room 101 aka the ex tomorrow... why, I have no idea.

It was the most I've ever slept continuously. I'm in the midst of a stagflationary sleeping pattern though. Deprivation and insomnia.

Well I slept 17hrs straight from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning---so I got some, but not with a blonde, unfortunately.

Oops. Sorry, I gave the UK link. Thanks, Gopher.

Oh wow. Fascinating, Russ.
I'm not really a collector of things; but maybe that's due to not really having passions or nerdy interests. I used to have this crazy idea or plan that I was going to collect every UK Town and Country planning book from the 1950s onward. A bored professor in England started publishing books on chronicling the changes in planning from the 50s until now. He died in 2005, but I think he started this ridiculous project right after defending his PHD.

I left the second edition at home.

Yeah? Thats good, what was wrong with the last place?
Are you sharing with people in the current or next one?

The place I'm at now is temp, but it's an hour + away from school and my social life. My profs were predicting my own death a week ago - I was past my "social reproduction" limit within the city. Fun times. I'm now moving to a place 15-20mins away, in the middle of everything, and with someone, so I won't be alone. I'm pretty excited.

I had a long message typed out in reply to SD and lost it. Im not spending the time to redo it, lol!

Ha! What was it about?

Found a new place to live.

Someday, someday. I haven't slept since 9:30am on Thursday.

Natasha, you might like plays if you only read poetry.

I never left the basement suite today. I opened the window and the door for a bit to take-in some air, but otherwise I was reading from 10am to 10pm.

You really, really, really need to get out

I will -- next Friday, hopefully. I have about 1,000 pages to read (not exaggerating) and a couple papers due before then, however. This weekend will be consumed by a History paper due on Monday but I'm checking out a place to live on Saturday. Also, I go to school every day but Thursday. I have never found the point to weekends.

I was thinking about women last night...............think you need to get out 

As much as I would prefer "love-ins" to "read-ins" the latter and not the former consumes most of my life.

Circuit breakers are an essential safety component in any home electrical system

Ah yes, circuit breakers. For whatever reason I was thinking about cars last night.

Indeed. If you're in not into the particular history, boredom sets in rather quickly. I do not like overtly nationalist histories, for example. My strong dislike of nationalism/exceptionalism histories more or less eliminates all American history except for Zinn's A People's History. No wonder I live in Canada...

An odd truism to History: the key to writing good history is not necessarily the material and sources, but the style and structure of the text. Reading good, well-written history is fun and enjoyable; reading bad history, on the other hand, is nightmarish. So from what I can tell, the writing of history follows these steps: 1) following a style, 2) having a good structure, 3) the quality of the material and its organization, d) the clarity of the point of view or perspective (the actual 'history' part). In other words, the most important aspect to history is the least important to the discipline. No wonder every student in the social sciences finds writing History papers a chore!

History books are easy reads.
