[NON BLOG] Venturing to Etobicoke

rfmcdonaldLast Monday, I received a notice that Purolator had a package for me. I'd expected that it was a CD of Portuguese fado sent to me by an American friend, and was anxious to pick it up. Not anxious enough, mind, to get down there before today, the final of the five business days that they'd hold the parcel at their depot on 800 Kipling Avenue, in distant exotic Etobicoke. So, I took the Bloor line to its western terminus.
By and large, I like the magazine Spacing. My only dispute with it is that it's frequently too elitist, with articles condemning sandwich boards and that kind of extraneous advertising as an intrusion into public space. If ever an article about Etobicoke is written, though--at least about Etobicoke between 800 and 1000 Kipling Avenue--it will, I have to say, be rather critical of the visual environment in the area. It's not very attractive.
As it turned out, it wasn't the CD at all, but rather my diploma from Queen's University, testifying to the fact that this year on the 28th of October I'd graduated with a Master of Arts degree. I'm finished.
I guess I'll have to buy a frame for it. First, though, I'll have to finally knuckle down and put my bloody ROBIN together. Just because I've never done anything of the kind before isn't an excuse.
