to forget and not to forget [3]
dear betafish, you were with us for a time far too short. and now i am wishing i had captured your fighting spirit on camera, so that this post could be complete with your picture, and the legacy could last into finite time. but alas.

I am studying, I swear!
i was surfing the internets and came across this band, and now i realize why neither the name or the faces are unfamiliar: we used to live around the corner from Arkell, and i used to see some of these guys at school all the time.
great song i thought, the lyrics probably don't sound all that unfamiliar either :P
sooooo not interested in macroeconomic theory ....
in fact i should be having a beer celebrating/mourning the last Senators game of the season! score is tied, 2-2, Go Sens Go for the last period of the season! UPDATE: stupid, stupid game.

just a late night thought ...
it is 11:11 and all my roommates are sleeping-ish.
broken strings - james morrison and nelly furtado
Because it is not over until it is really over
but that is coming to an end,
even though the season is almost done, the team has played their worst season since I have lived in Canada, I am finally going,
and I am super excited !
just thought I would share that.
Now I am going back to write 10 pages of what I would like to think is pure genius. Because maybe if I think it enough, it might magically be just that?

Psalm 42:5
Maar de Heer zal uitkomst geven,
Hij, die ’s daags zijn gunst gebiedt.
‘k Zal in dit vertrouwen leven
en dat melden in mijn lied;
‘k zal zijn lof zelfs in den nacht
zingen, daar ik Hem verwacht,
en mijn hart, wat mij moog’ treffen,
tot den God mijns levens heffen.

because when you are from the countryside ....
So when I was the last one to be dropped off at home last night, I had to ask the cab driver if it was custom to give them a tip. The driver's eyes went wide open with surprise when I started my sentence with "This might be a funny question, but I have never taken a cab before and .... "
At least then I had keys to get into my apartment, unlike this morning .... which is a whole other story that won't be told until a later day ...

Ville de Montréal: ma première visite
Remnant of the Montreal 1967 Expo.
Notre Dame Basilica of Montreal - front of the chapel
St. Joseph's Oratory
On a whole other sidenote I came across this website, passiveaggressivenotes.com, I think if you have ever lived, not alone really, some of the stuff on this website might seem very relate-able. It makes me think of this note I left someone who kept parking in the parking spot ... it is not on the website, so I don't think it was taken very badly. Now if only the person that put their bumper into my car would have left me a note ....

A Starry Night
Now, even though I spend all my summers star-gazing, on the trampoline, on the beach, wherever really, I have never seen a falling star. Until last night. It is the middle of the winter, I was on the road, and there was the first falling star I ever seen.
Pretty cool!

all in a day ...
now, today has been a long one! currently i am listening to some dutch music via youtube, studying macroeconomic models, and waiting for a movie to load, and carrying on a conversation via MSN, while also keeping an eye on the score of the senators - blues game. the score is 0-0 at this point. what also has been long is the time between my latest blog post and this one ... assuming that i remember to publish my post, or assuming that it is publish-worthy. or not for that matter. but i have been busy. busy procrastinating on life, ie. i have been doing some schoolwork, and i have been paying a lot of attention to the news, and to the latest budget news. definitely some interesting stuff.
today i opted to attend an optional, but recommended, class about DSGE modelling and Matlab. equally interesting stuff. kind of. not really. then i surprised myself by going to study at the library, which was precisely what needed to happen today.
i was about to update the score to 1-0 for Ottawa, but since I am so preoccupied with many things by the time i got around to typing this it is already 1-1. allright, so after the library i went home around 2 to beat rush hour traffic which starts at 2.30 in Ottawa (since the strike, which is finally over i just read on the news). i cleaned out my parking spot with a small shovel and did some groceries. i also picked up some socks for the LOVE Ottawa, a program initiated by our church here in Ottawa. this coming sunday we will be handing out soup and socks in the downtown area, and since my soup does not turn out here like it would back home, so socks it is! i also managed to spend some 70 dollars at the grocery store, and i even bought veggie burgers rather than real ones because for one, they are cheaper, and two, they are significantly more nutritious. no protein speech will make me change my mind about that.
i also watched two documentaries. one about teachers in thailand, and one about migrants from africa coming into yemen. i guess sometimes i am more interesting about learning anything other than economic theory. funny that.
anyways, since a lot of my friends have been completing 30 things about me lists, i am going to see if i can finish one over the weekend. after i complete a labour asssignment that is. still 1-1.
till later!

It is not the curse of Ottawa ...
Our seats were also pretty good, right behind the opposing players bench, although it must be said those seats have two drawbacks. One, the stench. Two, the players always stand up when something exciting happens. Also, after seeing the Dance Team at Ricoh Coliseum, for the Toronto Marlies, I thought there couldn't be a worse dance team in sports, well yes there is. The choreography here in Ottawa consists of exactly two moves.

Lesson of the Day
Because trust me, you will need it, and you will wish you bought it.
Seriously, after Christmas, snow isn't so cute anymore. And neither is the strike.
