Observations

Apparently the frequency with which I post is a good reference for my mental engagement with the world...

Things have moved on a fair bit since may, I'm now actually at one of those potential options, doing a master's at U of T. Spending my days writing optimization routines and debugging them, however, is not the fount of excitement and learning i thought it would be. At the bare minimum, I suppose i'm building up some useful computer background skills and more raw number crunching ability, but i'm seriously lacking in any opportunity for abstract thought...

hence, chris is bored.... pyromania bored... but in a city where lighting a couch on fire in your back yard is not the quick and risk free way to fill an evening it was in kingston...

and once you lose your outlets, you get locked into a sick cycle of desperation where you surf the web, looking for updates on BBC news, abstractly hoping that the world will end and be covered in glowing detail by some far off news bureau... at least that's what i do...

Anyways, i'm going to solve my problem in the traditional way... well, one of two... first i'm going to the gym to hit the heavy bag, then i'm going to have a beer...

race you to the bottom...
