the surreal return of the repressed

[soraljuset]

Mongol 800 on iTunes, a happy bubbly track that calls me back to the brightest daylight and hottest heat i've ever experienced, in Naha, Okinawa. the white, white sunlight that almost seemed like an expressionist articulation of happiness rather than an authentic quality of the real; but it WAS real, inspiring yet more happiness

I'd take the snow, too, over the straight week of rain we've been forecast. I knew there was a reason I left Vancouver. Climactic persecution.

but the forests are worth it!

I am on top of a mountain and can't see more than two meters in front of me. The geography building is leaking. My house is leaking. I bike around in neoprene paddling gloves. It could be noon, it could be dawn, it could be midnight, it's just equally grey all the time. I knew there was a reason I left Vancouver, and I knew there was a reason I swore I'd never to to SFU. Oh holy irony, batman. Get me out of here.

so what do leaky buildings mean to a geographer focusing on airports? sounds like good fodder for a thesis to me...

hey yo. it's fairly pissing it down, which reminds me that it's been pissing it down almost daily since i got to the bloody 'borough. snow was a brief two-day reprieve. i conclude: this country has too much of rain. no wonder nobody settled here.

We finally got a little flurry here in Minnesota too. I can't wait to get out and pedal through some real snow though.

Hope grad school in the north is treating you well.

thanks, it's hell, but thanks.
