Garfield Minus Garfield →
Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Ugh, I woke up this morning with a sore and swollen throat.
How am I to visit fun and interesting places for Doors Open Toronto with a sore and swollen throat?
It hurts to swallow!

Quebec student protests: It's the older generation... →
Today’s youth face a grim future not of their own making. Is it any wonder that they’re angry about it? What they are asking for is what previous generations so eagerly gobbled up for themselves. If those generations now believe their entitlements were too generous, then, perhaps, in the spirit of sharing the burden, they might want to give some of them back.

Ontario students ready to join Quebec in... →
With Quebec tuition protest arrests at 2,500 and counting, Ontario students and unions say they’re gearing up to join their counterparts in demonstrating against tuition hikes.
The show of solidarity comes after nearly 700 protesters were arrested across Quebec Wednesday night, many in mass kettling roundups, which prompted Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois to declare the ongoing strife...

A tiny perfect streetcar line is being laid along... →
There’s a new streetcar line under construction in Toronto, the first in more than a decade and a surprising development during the tenure of a mayor who is outspokenly opposed to light rail.
The tracks are being laid this year along the northern portion of Cherry Street, where they will operate in a dedicated right of way. When it enters service after 2015, this small stretch will provide...

I might check out some exhibitions for Contact today. This years theme is Public.
Otherwise, I was just planning on biking around some new parts. I realized that Maple Leaf Drive in Downsview turns into Church Street in Weston. I’ve spent much childhood time near both, so I was surprised to learn that they are the same street. Childhood worlds are collapsing.

Tea before bed. Work again tomorrow. Goodnight ya’ll.
Also, I changed my url again — http://whosecityisthis.tumblr.com/
I suppose it’s a reconsideration of the previous url/question “whatcityisthis”.

summer stuff
I realized today that my summer break has, thus far, been exceedingly more boring and uneventful than school-time. Yes I know, summer just started, but I refuse to let it waste away, and I refuse to let the stress of not doing anything important whatsoever exceed the stress of having too much to do.
My summertime action plan:
Book off an additional day of work every week, working 4 days instead...

The intelligence of a city is on the streets →
humanscalecities:
The real intelligence of cities lies is in the almost miraculous, unstable, spontaneous order of city life. The social relationships between people generate the functional intelligence of cities. Imperfect, conflicting, disastrous at times, always open to improvement. Technology only facilitates certain processes, and the logic of collective life will defeat any attempt to...

Gardening!
This year I’m planting tomatoes, catnip, and hot peppers.
Bizzare combination, I know, but I don’t have much space so I had to narrow it down to two or three things. We have three cats, so later on I’ll collect the leaves, let them dry, crumble them up and store them. Cat nipz forever!
As for the tomatoes, they’re beefsteak, because I use tomatoes mostly for sandwiches...
