A Few Quick Notes 232

-We had a little rain this afternoon. While it hasn't continued the skies haven't really cleared so I am a little worried that we may get more this evening. On the other hand, one forecast I examined seems to suggest that we should have clear skies for the next couple of days.

-While in class today the professor mentioned the British television series Yes, Minister. This means that this particular show has now come up in all three courses I am taking. It might also mean that I should probably get around to watching an episode or two. (It seems that I should be able to get my hands on the first season of Yes, Prime Minister).

-A few days ago I purchased a new rain jacket at Mountain Equipment Co-op. I was able to test it for the first time in today's brief rainfall. So far it seems to work pretty well, which is good.

Now that I know that it works I am particularly pleased that I purchased the discounted model rather than the somewhat pricier fancy model.

-Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of getting to do a short project on Marxist theory, now I get the pleasure of looking into rational choice related material. I am not sure how I am so lucky to get my two favourite topics in such quick succession.

-Neil and I didn't manage to win our Ultimate game last night, though we did come within striking distance in the second half. Unfortunately, I don't feel that I played particularly well or was of much use to the team. On the other hand, I do think that I played well on the last point (though by this point we weren't in a position to be able to win).
