So I haven't posted in a while (I am still alive!), I guess that it's really just because I haven't had much to say. I've returned to Ontario for the Christmas break, and it's left me with a strange feeling of disconnect. This city is so familiar but at the same time it's not at all where I belong anymore. It's not home (I want to go home). I think this is what it would feel like going through the places that you know really well from favourite TV series' or books (except that you can't see the setting as much with books I find). Like something is just a little bit off.
Traveling was normal. I got no sleep at all because I got the 6.30 flight since it was the cheepest, and therefore had to take the 3.40 shuttle to the airport. I got to use my french in Montreal since the cab driver taking me to the train didn't speak english and the ticket guy just assumed that I spoke french instead of asking which language I preferred, which was interesting and made me glad that we tend to randomly speak french at home.
So I've got a two papers to write for Classical Mythology tonight and then once I e-mail them in to my Prof I'm done until January, which will be a bit of a relief.
I got to play hockey on Tuesday right after I arrived in town and it was SO weird using someone else's equipment. It was not as nice as mine but I still managed a few nice glove saves even though it took a whole lot more effort to pick the puck off the ice to hadn to the ref than it does with my own gloves. Also I got a new stick since we didn't get one from the person we got the equipment for, so I'm going to have to think about whether or not I can get it back home since the one I have back there is nearing the end of it's life anyway. Also the Canucks have won both of their games this week (take that Calgary!) which makes me happy. And I'm still winning our hockey pool.
Yup.
Anyway back to Achilles and Odysseus... (I have another date with Achilles. "Aderam and Achilles are going steady!" says C, or at least he did say that a week or so ago.)

So I thought, what better to break with than SG-1? . . . So I popped in a Dvd, selected a random episode . . . it'd been a while since I'd watched them, but they're all good, right? I started to get an omnious feeling the more I watched. Yup, I was watching the second last episode of the fifth season. (Just in case any of your friends DON'T know what happens in that episode.) It was TRAUMATIC!! So you're guilty on TWO fronts. A: Getting me addicted to Stargate. B: Giving me the tapes so that I could watch that last night! :P :) It took Serenity before I was ready to go back to studying!
