stadium house

today i read a week's worth of newspapers between 12-4am, slept until 1pm, and spent the rest of the day reading about world war II. if this is really autobiography for me, i should be adding more details.

• i got a phone call from a woman, julie, who'd found my number on a cell phone that she found at granville island. did i know anyone who'd lost a cell phone? no, but i only know one person who has my number and spends time at granville island. rich got his phone back from julie after i called his home and left him her number. he left his phone at granville island because he was distracted by a cute girl. in a few days he'll be going back to california for a wedding. he's going to fort bragg. it's several hours north of san francisco, on the coast.
  
• i've been exchanging e.mails with a good friend all day, and it's reminded me of how rarely i use e.mail for actual communication. when i was in high school, i'd use e.mail to write long letters. my address was 'harder@intergate.bc.ca'. i wrote "fx: the series" fanfiction, and made a lot of friends across the continent on an "fx: the series" bulletin board.
  
• catherine bush's minus time is wonderful. it reminds me a lot of margaret atwood, but more ambiguous, less didactic. i'm really enjoying it.
  
• tomorrow i'll continue reading about world war II and the british empire. this week, i have to do a lot of work on my polisci term paper, due july 11.
