so I ran into a friend from undergrad on the weekend and went back to his place (which turns out to be just a block away from mine). We caught up and hung out and stuff (he told me 'you know, when I first met you it was the first week of school in toronto, and you had blue hair and a nose ring, and I was like 'I have really arrived in the big city' (little did he know...)). He's moving to Massachusetts (sp.?) to do a phd in sociology - neat.

As we were saying goodbye we stood in the doorway of his building chatting for several minutes, and when I left the landlord from the next building comes swooping down on me and starts yelling and demanding to know who I am and what I am doing there (wearing a t-shirt and bath towel, btw). After several minutes of yelling at each other, I ascertained he was not a crazy homeless person and he ascertained I was not one of the many bicycle thieves who apparently case the joint all the time. So we had a brief civil chat amongst ourselves, but still using the yelling voices we had begun the 'conversation' with.

And I got and installed a new graphic card. Once I realized that certain stuff has to be disabled on my type of computer for it to work, and it stopped blackscreening, I must say I was mighty impressed. I needed it to play some new computer games but it adds some really nice features to some old ones, which I hadn't counted on.

...and the sunset looks really nice right now, though nobody reading this will be able to see it.

...and now its gone.
