Last ditch

Constance and I have been in Wallaceburg for the past two days. This afternoon we drift eastward to London. Hello Meghean and Hasdeep!

The Christmas break is close to over; I'll be back in class on Monday where I'll learn the basics of Photoshop and more about integrated brand comunication (or is it promotion?). The past few weeks have definately been relaxing: my mind is now way too used to sleeping almost until noon and staying awake until three the next morning. But I don't feel like I've wasted my time at all. I got to spend quite a lot of time with Ariel, saw my dad's cottage (for the last time). My plan to get some good reading in over the holidays has worked out pretty well. The sylabus included The Tipping Point, Culture Jam, and Nexus. Mmm...books.. There's still a shelved stack waiting for me at home. My mom decided to go the literary route this Christmas and I'm all the happier for it. After Nexus, I could read Buddist critques on consumerism (Hooked); what looks to be a NoLogo-type book on Walmart and its rot (Walmart); or a brief history of the unutterable "N-word" (Nigger).
