Canoe trip teal deer
Friday night: Met up with 10 other nutcases in front of the Shatner building. It was raining a bit but there was no snow on the ground in Montréal – but things would soon change for us. The drive out to Floodwood Pond was uneventful – the border guard asked us a lot of questions,…
2 mini reviews
1. If you like EBM music, you need to see the Crüxshadows at your next opportunity. Totally worth the 4 hour drive to Albany from Montréal. 2. The Sol LeWitt exhibit at MASS MoCA is made of pure win. You have approximately 25 years to go see it, so there’s no excuse to miss out….

An American (restaurant) in Tokyo
I’ve been in Tokyo since last Sunday. 2 nights ago I passed by an Anna Miller’s – I was hungry so I figured this was a good cultural experience: an American restaurant, as imagined by the Japanese. Maybe this is how Chinese people feel about the cheap “Chinese” restaurants that populate any North American city….

Ich bin ein Berliner
First things first: dcoombs asked for my thoughts on LX (Swiss Air), which I flew for the first time on the way here. I slept through the night flight over to ZRH, so I can’t really say what that was like, except the seat was quite good (the only time I’ve seen proper lumbar support…

Oh yeah, I’m going to Ottawa this weekend – showing up at noonish on Saturday and leaving Monday morning. Let me know if you want to do something and we don’t already have plans.
Alright! I’ve escaped Reno for the weekend! As soon as I was done teaching the course on Friday, I ran back to my hotel room, threw some stuff in a bag, got in the car, and headed west. Reno is interesting.. a cultural experience, I suppose. It’s all very tacky – gaudy in a run-down…

More photos coming soon, including Arbraska (sorry, I’ve been busy.)
Quick update from Amsterdam (yeah, you read that correctly): Oktoberfest is fun – everything I expected. I found friendly Australians and Germans to drink with, etc. I drank far too much on Tuesday. I lost count, but my best guess is 7-8 litres of beer. I didn’t think that was even possible for me. On…
