Good News!!!
Just a quick update for a few pieces of interest. First, we got our apartment! We´ve got this great place in Palermo Viejo, around where Mr. Jorge Borges penned some of the greatest works of all time. The view is spectacular from our balcony and the landlady (a very cute 30 something former Spanish chef) has filled the living area with old books and games. I adore it. Check it out here.
In other great news, I recently heard back from Ryerson regarding doing a Masters in Communication and Culture. They accepted me... and then offered me a scholarship for 15 grand! That´s quite the offer for a guy who´s thesis stems from a reading of the latest Broken Social Scene record and will include such Canadian staples as the Trailer Park Boys. It´s like someone´s going to pay me to listen to indie rock and watch hilarious TV! All win.
Anyways, Adrian and I are famished after running around all day on no sleep (good night out last night) and no food (not so great day today) to get things in order so we could move into our apartment today, so we´re off to our favourite cheap restaurant we found in Palermo when we were here the first few days. I promise to write a big entry soon, as well as get that Dear Nick entry up I promised. In the meantime, in the spirit of ¨Circle¨´s comments on the last entry and his love for brevity, I´ve decided to post a poem that came to me in a divine flash of inspiration. Rhyming chose me.

Good to hear you are doing well buddy. It sounds like you guys are truly living the dream.
Trust me, blowing stuff up will always be cool, no matter the mindset. Scaring the cows with it is even better.
That all being said, I'm jealous. I hope to see you guys at some point in the future here. As you know, or do now, I'll be in Paris afer Houston...hint hint.
I don't know about your video capabilities in the inet cafes, but if you can, check out the video of arcade fire on pitchfork (the elevator scene in particular).

Fantastic Ian! You can progress down your dream road of becoming ever more useless! We need more commentary on broken social scene and why Timmy Ho's is bad. Really. I'd add the typical get a hair cut comment but that's played out.
Josh has turned into a mellow bitch. "Look at me I have no friends in Oklahoma... I love everyone, I hope you do well"... what a sucker. I'm running on pure hate right now. I should add this comment to his blog, but I don't care.
I like your poem, you should do a PHD on that.
congrats on ryerson! when we last spoke, it seemed to be the one that most appealed to you. good luck making your decision but trust me on the fact that mcgill law can always be put off for a year or several. t
