Gave blood yesterday at the Guides clinic at Victorial Hall, tenth time (total, not at VH). Was guided through the first part by an, erm, efficient nurse, but I bled good and fast and things went off without a hitch. Recovery time was watched over by a very attentive brownie leader. Wandered over to my brother's place and managed to stay ahead in the win/loss records in Soul Calibur, dodging my usual whuppage. Followed up hanging around and geeking it up at Stuart's.

A couple of days ago, I got to play around in Char Davies' Osmosis as a hardware tester — there's a group at Concordia working to improve the head mounted display, and they pulled together a bunch of volunteers to float, lean, twist and breathe their way through the piece, paying attention to responsiveness and comfort. It was a little dated, but really interesting.

The work schedule is coming together, the beginning of May is going to be lots of planning (no travels as we'd thought) and getting everyone on the same wavelength with respect to grammars. I never know how a summer will go, but we'll have another pair of co-op students coming in and some priorities laid down, so we'll see.

this may or may not sound like a strange question. Have you ever been a student at Dawson, and if so, have you ever given blood at a blood drive there?

Yes, Creative Arts from '97 to '99 and yes, twice I think. Were you a volunteer at a blood drive there?

Do you remember a volunteer asking you to approach the vampire cave?

I've been recycling that joke from time to time since.

I totally remember you too. Ain't life grand?

Indeed — I remember the joke better than the joker, but it's always fun to see connections going way back, proving that it's a ridiculously intertwined world.
