It's hard adjusting to the pudding-like thickness of this town. I just got back in from Toronto a few nights ago and coming back here after travelling so much during the break is like running full speed into a giant glob of molasses. A giant glob of molasses that is so thick that not even light can escape. In terms of climate, opportunity, and general cheer Buffalo has almost nothing to offer so I'm going to crown Buffalo most vortex like city 2004. Why people stay here defies explanation so it really must have some kind of yet undiscovered gravity that keeps people from escaping. Maybe it's the cheap rent...

As for Toronto I went up with Crystal on a whim. We stayed at the Hilton and went out to Fressens for dinner (best quinoa avacado salad ever) then spent the next day just walking around Toronto together. It's amazing how much life there is on the streets of a functioning city.

I'm excited about both of Sarah Elder's classes this semester. I'm thinking for Advanced Doc I might do a promo spot & documentary for a puppetry group back near my hometown. Can I really stay interested in puppeteering for an entire semester? Only time will tell.
