felis_ultharusAfter the chaos of the last few weeks, I had a rather relaxing day, doing nothing. I've only written one page so far.
I did start Solomon Gursky Was Here, and it is so nice to read a real book after all that abstract lunacy. I'm not that far into it, but I think I'm going to like it. It's hard to hate a book starts with an apocalyptic cult running orgies out of an igloo in the Eastern Townships of Quebec in 1851.
Ran into an old co-worker today, a man so shallow he's almost see-through -- homophobic, and with vague criminal tendencies (I caught him trying to "borrow" a customer's money, without permission). I was amused to find out that he barely got his bachelor's degree (Concordia let him pass with three D's and an F), and that now he's applying for post-graduate work in Toronto.
He's heavily involved in politics, being an important member of the youth wing of the Liberals, the party in power right now. Somehow, this seems to explain the country.
Other than that, I've done nothing all day but play video games, a rare treat nowadays with so much to do. I love Final Fantasy V. I doubt any role-playing video game published in North America would ever allow a male character to be a member scantily-clad dancer class. My dancer is currently wearing the "rainbow dress" armour, the "red shoes" accessory, the "magic hair ribbon" helmet, and wielding a weapon called a "maneater dagger."
