Darn, double-booked

This is what I get for not religiously putting everything into my
Planner. Elie Wiesel’s talk is right after my Toronto Coranto
performance at Emmanuel College. I’ll probably end up hanging out with
the other renaissance dancers and my friends instead of running over
to the auditorium to catch not even a live performance but an
audio/visual feed from another room. It’s a $15 lesson which I’ll be
sure to remember. Then again, I can think of it as my donation to
social philosophy…

Let me see if I can give this ticket away, as it’s Really Unlikely
that I’ll get to refund it.

Random Japanese sentence: どのねこも、どのねこもひとくちずつ草を食べました。すると野原中の草はすっかりなくなってしまいました。 Each cat ate a mouthful of grass and not a blade was left!
