around two-thirty i completed my physics problem set and handed it in at mclennan physical labs<\/p>\naround two-thirty i completed my physics problem set and handed it in at mclennan physical labs<\/p>\n
then i went to robarts library
\nlast night i had conducted a search on the comics-related material UofT holds (and it’s actually a lot more than i’d expected)<\/p>\n
so i finally through trial and a lot of error figured out how to navigate robarts (all sorts of elevators going all over the place) and checked out scott mccloud’s understanding comics<\/i> as well as the first volume of superman<\/i> archives<\/p>\n
i also wanted to read the captain canuck<\/i> #1 that the university has in its thomas fisher rare books library<\/p>\n
that’s where they have old and … rare books under relatively tight security
\nso you check your bag and coat as you enter the little place, then take an elevator to the basement, where you tell a librarian what book you want to read (naturally, you can’t check it out) and then you’re directed to a reading room where you take a seat, then someone comes up to you and gives you what it is you want to read<\/p>\n
captain canuck #1 sucked, the art is laughable at times, the story is bollocks capitalist-god-is-on-our-side-the-communists-are-all-evil type of a plot that seems uninspired
\nthe hero seems more american than canadian (other than his costume) and he looks like a dimwit who can’t do anything but spew campy cheesy quasi-patriotic lines
\nmind the book was written in 1975 … and it’s full colour, wow
\nself-published little classic of canadian comics that is now rare, rare enough to be kept under guard at UofT’s rare books library<\/p>\n
it was comical to go in there and see all the people reading old old books and important looking things as i leafed through a comic book
\ni wonder what else we’ve got at the UofT<\/p>\n
after that i went to my math tutorial and wrote my quiz<\/p>\n
as i headed home i got off at scarborough town centre and met a friend (steph) after a long time, she was with some exchange-group from BC (i think she’s er … guiding them around)
\nthat was good<\/p>\n
as i headed out from STC i decided to drop by krispy kreme’s 24-hour drive-through and pick up a donut
\nthe attendant asked through the intercom thing if i were interested in the fresh out of the oven original glazed, and i said i just wanted a creme-filled glazed
\nso i drove up to the window and i handed him the payment for my single donut
\nthe young apparent man of african descent smiled as he gave me back my change, then handed me the bag saying “i threw in an original glazed for free”
\ni thanked him and drove on
\nnote: it was fresh out of the oven
\nat a red light i pulled the original glazed donut out and took a bite
\nnow some people say that heaven is in the arms of a loved one, or that heaven is in your eyes, or something
\nbut right there i found heaven to be in my mouth
\nthat fresh out of the oven donut was the epitome of delicious as it virtually melted in my mouth
\ni savoured every last bite and i thanked that attendant for his generosity<\/p>\n
when i got home i took a look at the receipt
\nthe attendant’s name was gabriel
\nand that’s when my suspicion was affirmed
\nthat donut was divine<\/p>\n
