Because no one else I know would read the introduction of my thesis, which is on culture, and say:
"Gee now doesn'’t that sound like a sophisticated psychotherapeutic approach to the integration of self-states, ego states, differing cognitive-affective self-schemas, good and bad objects etc. It is the same process and prevents one state, schema or object relation from dominating the many and an awareness and appreciation of the many paradoxically leads to a stronger sense of self."
The older I get, and I more I learn, the more I realize how incredible my dad is.

Canada Post
On Tuesday at 3pm I mailed my dad a father's day card.
And it arrived in Thursday's mail.
It took less than 48hours to get from my mailbox in Victoria to my parent's house in Toronto. Go Canada Post Go!

Quote of the Day
"For many [parents], real estate is the preferred way to say "I love you."
-Pearce, Tralee "Financed by the Bank of Ma and Pa", Globe and Mail, February 12, 2008
I of course immediately called both my parents to inform this of this latest development in parent-child relations and to confirm whether or not their love for me extends to these new modern methods of showing love. Apparently it does not.

last little while
who wears short shorts? me apparently. not on purpose I assure you.
I love martinis.
last weeks I drank three nights in row (note: not like in college - I just had one-two drinks - but still - this is highly irregular for me)
dulche de leche (sp?) = yum. However only in tall. grande is too much.
packing = fear
spending summer living with parents without a place of my own = potential nervous breakdown. I love my parents and we get along super well. but the summer? and maybe beyond? I have been home for the summer before. But man. man!!
I heart Iris Murdoch.
I am going to buy Craig Ferguson's book for my plane ride and sojurn in Calgary.
I love having flowers in my apartment. And I am sad to be leaving my apartment.
I giggle too much and at inappropriate times.
A few days ago I woke up from a dream, laughing, I was laughing so much in my dream I woke myself up. I only wish I remember what it was about.
I have had one flying dream in my life. I (irrationaly) envy those who have flying dreams.
Grotty is a word.
Sleep makes me happy.
Children of men is a good movie. But it wasn't fabulous. I am considering reading the book.
Today it was not nice weather wise. That made me sad. It has been super nice these past couple of days. Please come back sun. Please come back.

yesterday
Yesterday I had a fabulous day.
1) went shopping with mom. Mom bought me clothes.
2) met my friend Tara. decided to go for lunch. as it was already 1:30 decided to get frozen yogurt to stave off pre-lunch hunger pains.
3) had lunch around 3 at a lovely little Thai restaurant. Only $8.
4) went to honest eds. I have never been there before. it's a toronto institution.
5) went out for coffee. split a piece of cheesecake and had some tea.
6) went shopping (well, browsing...)
7) had dinner (it's around 9pm now) at "fresh" a veggie restaurant. Only $9.
8) went out to a pub for some live music and pints
9) arrived home where Tara stayed the night
10) woke up and had orange juice, coffee, and banana bread with my parents and Tara
11) Tara left around 11am.
Seriously - A day filled with shopping, food, friends, and fun. All days should be so fabulous.
Happy New Years!

Hey Kids!
This message is for everyone who has Globe and Mail access - on page A5 (at least in the Toronto and Victoria editions - so probably all editions) there is a picture of a cathedral made out of tuna cans, with a sardine can floor, a baby food bell tower, and granola bar grass, as part of an annual competition in support of the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto.
The Cathedral, made out of approx. $8,000 worth of food, was the winner of the structural award this year. It was designed and built by my mom's engineering firm! How cool is that!! So everyone, check it out if you get a chance.

my favourite is "more than just peanuts".
