So today was my second day on the job. I got taken out for lunch and then we visited the two streets I will be documenting over the summer. I am teaching myself how to create and manage databases in InMagic, which is a devilish program bent on making me insane before the end of the week, but my colleague and supervisor insists that it's what archivists use, and I'm an archival assistant for the next 3 months or so, so I guess I better bloody well get used to it. Tomorrow, we visit the City of Toronto Archives and a few other related institutions but I can't remember what they are.
I am biking to work. It's 3.9 miles each way, according to Mapquest. It takes me about 30 minutes to get there, but I bet I could do it in 20 if I didn't insist on carrying half my apartment in my backpack.

Calamity Jen
First, there was the Stapler Incident.
The week after that, there was the car accident (minor but, let's just put it this way, they're not going to "buff out" the damage done to the car I was riding in).
Last week, there was a bomb scare on the subway and it was evacuated, so I walked to the next stop, in the pouring rain, in my new, not-yet-waterproofed, flimsy leather sandals.
Then my computer died.
This morning, very early, one of the generators burned out or something, at work, and there's no power, so I and my colleagues have all been sent home to wait it out.
So I went back home to my sensory deprivation tank of an apartment - no cable TV, no computer, just the radio - I'm going for that "1920s" effect - and hung up my new matchstick bamboo blinds in the living room window, and played with the cats. Then I went out for lunch with Phil, and now I'm at the U of T, pretending to be a student so I can get free Internet access.
So yeah. Things are pretty much normal here, how 'bout you?

I'm still here
I just don't have a lot to post about. Yes, my life is that dull.
Yesterday, I went to a screening of two films about/set in Toronto in the 1970s, at the Planet in Focus Film and Video Festival. I saw The Strip, which was actually an urban geography project by two grade 8 students in 1973, Ron Mann (who grew up to become a documentary filmmaker) and Cliff Librach, and featured great footage of Yonge Street at that time. The other was Don Shebib's Goin' Down the Road, which was just utterly fantastic, even though the Library and Archives of Canada completely botched the transfer from 35mm to Betamax (the reels were out of sequence and the transfer was very dark). Shebib was in the audience, along with a few of the cast members and their families, and he was just so utterly gracious about the whole thing that what could have been a pretty annoying experience was almost a cocktail party.

Vegewot?
Did you know there is such a thing as non-vegetarian wine?
I found this out last night when I went round to a friend of mine’s for dinner. She is a strict vegetarian, really, really strict, as in; nothing made using by-products of animals, no meat in the house except cat food, won’t kiss the boyfriend if he has eaten meat that day, etc – e.g. S.t.r.i.c.t. A proper vegetarian, not one of these, "fish are vegetables" lightweights and I admire her non-halfway house stance!
I’m not sure why she is so strongly against eating meat, she is not allergic to it, just incredibly moral. On the complete opposite end of the scale, I’m more carnivore than omnivore although I am a lot better than I once was and have grown to accept vegetarians rather than despise them for being difficult and making me feel bad! But I take heart in what Voltaire says, "I may have no morals, but I am still a moral person" - A quote that applies to more than one aspect of my life :-)
We had a 100% vegetarian from the local Chinese and I ate until I could eat no more but my stomach (and consequently my guts this morning) still wasn’t happy. Vegetarian Chinese is basically normal Chinese with the meat taken out and mushrooms added in. This confused my highly trained carnivore/hunter/killer eyes and stomach, it was like asking for a burger and getting a bread roll, a mushroom in the shape of a burger, chips and some garnish – it looks normal, it smells normal, but the texture isn't quite right. Adding to the fact that the meat replacement thing always tends to be mushrooms which I do not eat (I don't eat fungus unless grown by my own toes), I need meat, I crave it, give this man a steak!
I would really suck at being a vegetarian. I admire their stance but I could never join their ranks.
But back to the wine and the fact of the day, I’ve heard of some wine makers adding bull’s blood to red wine to give it more colour, but I didn’t know that some add fish scales to give the wine more body and some even filter the wine through animal bones for some bizarre reason. So yes, you can get non-vegetarian wine. I don't know about beer tho.
