Does anyone have Andy's phone number? Andy I need to get a hold of you! I'm going to email, but if anyone could send me the number, and doesn't want to post it on this board for privacy issues, please email it to me on my work email:
peter.haggard@su.ualberta.ca

Thanks so much!

Sorry I couldn't make it out last night, it's been too long since I've seen most of you. Oddly, I also ended up at the same Art Auction as Eric as part of my night class (I get to write a journal entry about it, ya!) and then my ride home did not get me home until late.

um... yes.

good to be back, I think. it's interesting what happens, though, when you're not paying attention. or when you're not around to pay attention... I think I shall commend Paras on his statements and leave it at that... because doing any more would be, um, inappropriate.

on another note, fucking aspartame...
I have a friend whose mother developed an allergy to all things synthetic as a result of her over-use of aspartame... and I mean anything synthetic, vinyl chair lining, her bed, new car smell... she broke out in hives for over a year, nearly killed herself and now has to carry a piece of leather around with her just so that she can sit on other peoples' furniture.

plus, I discovered that the Swiss don't leave anything to the blissfully ignorant imagination, if you want artificial sweetener in your tea, instead of a sugar cube, you drop in a pill. They don't even attempt to disguise the stuff as a sugar-like substance, it's a bloody, fucking pill, and personally I just don't like the idea of dropping additional chemicals (blatantly obvious or not) into my hot beverage of choice.

well, I apologize for the unnecessary expletives, I guess I missed out on expressing myself a bit over the past two months. HAVE A SAFE TRIP LEO!! and North America is weird. I don't know how much I like it any more, but I don't know how much I like the other alternatives either. perhaps it's time to start a revolution.

No! Your science is bad!

So says the Calorie Control Council (http://www.aspartame.org)

Aspartame Causes Cancer in Rats

Good thing I've never had aspartame... how 'bout you?

So here we go, last post from Edmonton for a while... thanks to everyone who showed up for "andrew's birthday party," meant alot to have you guys send me off, and thanks again for the gift.

And now, off I go...

Is there anyone that could give me a ride to the Druid tonight? I have class until 9:30PM, but I would really like to stop by for a bit. Worse case maybe I'll just cab it, but I like saving money even moreso. If you feel like be generous towards me give me a call.

PS: Par I am so confident in all of your mad skills that when you become a doctor, I'm gonna get in a car accident just so you can operate on me. ('cause that's all doctors do is surgery, right?)

word.

kay if you guys are headed out to the Druid to celebrate Andy's birthday have a good time!
i cannot attend as i have a prior engagement to DJ the FAB Silent Art Auction (SORRY ANDY!)
