-Today was another beautiful winter’s day in Montreal. The temperature as reported by Environment Canada seemed to be a little lower than it actually felt. It seems that Nithum’s prediction was really quite early.
-I am now 1/24 in Roll Up the Rim to Win attempts. This is a horrible record. I just can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. It seems that all kinds of people get two or three wins right off the bat.
-Earlier tonight when I was talking to my mother on the phone she passed a piece of information that she acquired from Shawyer. It turns out that an anagram for my name, Cameron, is ‘Romance.” This was pretty good news as far as I was concerned.
-The election in Quebec is less than a week away and I have not yet received a single flyer or knock on my door. I know that I can’t vote, but I still want to at least pretend to campaign in the Ghetto. Also, I would take the opportunity to try and learn a few things about Quebec politics.
-Yesterday before class I made some cornbread. Today while doing my laundry I made some hummus.
-This looks as though it is going to be a rough project season. It has been building up slowly and will crescendo in a few weeks. Hopefully I will be able to make it through without too many problems. One of these assignments is due tomorrow afternoon.
-I have to work on both Thursday and Friday of this week. After work on Friday I will be attending a “Mustache and Cleavage” party, hence the mustache.
As the mustache has been endearing itself to me I am not sure if it will go on March 24 as originally planned. Maybe it will have to stay around for at least a few more days.
-Over the past few days I watched the third season of a reality TV show called ‘Beauty and the Geek.’ This show was surprisingly watchable and disturbing.

A Few Quick Notes 41
-We seem to be receiving a surprise snowfall today. What seemed like a few flurries at first is now a full-blown snowfall.
-I will be staying at home with my sister tonight. It is likely that we will rent a movie of some sort and hopefully head to bed early (at least that is my wish).
-Last night, with my brother and his girlfriend, I got together with a few friends, many of whom are no longer full time residents of Newfoundland. We started the evening at Bitters, the graduate student bar, but quickly learned that they would be closing at 9:00 PM. We then moved over to Big Bens, a nearby pub. Some people in our group played a card game called 120s. As I think that this is a horrible game I did not play. Eventually, around midnight, I left and returned home.
-While at Bitters a slight dispute arose between the bartender and myself. I requested a “Black Velvet” and learned that the bartender had no clue as to what I was talking about. When I described what I wanted, Guinness layered on a base of cider, she instructed me that the drink I was requested was called “snakebite.” What I described as “snakebite,” cider and lager, she called “black and tan.” I was pretty sure this was off, so I found this , though I can’t say that it is my favourite source. At the end of the day I guess I shouldn’t be too upset considering that I ended up with the drink that I wanted.
-For some reason since I have been home I haven’t been eating all that much, it is really quite strange. For instance, so far today I have only had two pieces of toast and I have been up for almost eight hours. Many of my days seem to go like this, with maybe one proper meal and very sparse quantities of food throughout the rest of the day.
-There are some leeks in the fridge, I really should make some potato and leek soup in the next day or two.
