Mais Non!

Ach. Exam schedule is out today, and I have only three exams in all, so how is it possible that I have two economics exams on December 21?! Minus several thousand points, Carleton exam planners.

The apartment is full of pumpkins after today's produce expedition. I am eating delicious pumpkin seeds even now. Katherine and I amused ourselves for a while by scouting out the pumpkins, then going to the Heart and Crown at 11 a.m. for sweet potato fries. After that we walked through the Rideau Centre, making revolted "chuh!" noises at all the retailers who have their Christmas decorations up before it is even past Hallowe'en. Enough, yet! Is there no decency?

This weekend is going to be insane, but in a good way. The same applies to the weekend at home -- in a detour that can be seen from space, Dad is going to pick Boopsie up from Calgary on his way back from Lethbridge.

Speaking of things large enough to be seen from space, apparently people have been doing unspeakable things to the Great Wall of China (viz. raves, public urination, skateboarding stunts, absconding with bits of masonry). Given that China seems to be kind of into the whole idea of vengeful, active ancestors, I'm thinking maybe these people ought to lay off, no?
