I love the smell of information in the morning.
So, I'm all ready to go. I got me some new work-clothes and shoes (thanks Mum!), I have a briefcase (MEC, of course - I take my Bohemian Bourgeois-ness very seriously), I have a book to read on the subway (Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, which is AMAZING).
It feels a bit like the first day of school. Which is appropriate seeing as my new place of employment is a school - more specifically, a corporate university.
I hope I don't get any homework. It is my first day, after all.

Scenes from the class struggle on the TTC
Overheard on the westbound Bloor subway line:
Man: They aren't in the business of privatizing lakes.
Woman: Well I know. But the dock - it's Crown property and has been Crown-maintained for several years and, you know, any canoe or kayak can dock there and use it... I don't know. I just think George made the wrong decision, I just wasn't expecting that.
Man: Hmmm.
Woman: So you're going to get off at Spadina then?
Man: Yeah, I can take any streetcar. It's at King and Spadina, right?
Woman: Yes. Only, you might have to get off at Queen. I don't know if the streetcar goes all the way down to King on Saturday. Sometimes it short turns.
Man: I can ask.
Woman: OK, well, see you at dinner.
Man: OK.
Woman: We're having souffle.

Day of rest indeed
Yanked out of sleep (and a weird dream about crossing the Champlain Bridge in a bus and watching migrating monarch butterflies negotiate the traffic) at 7.55 AM by the sound of Marmalade attempting to hurl on the duvet. My first instinct was to push him off the bed and onto the floor. This can only mean one of two things:
Although I love them dearly, my cats are not substitutes for babies.
I will make a terrible mother.
Anyway, he puked under my desk. Better than on the duvet cover, which would have to be schlepped down to the basement and washed for $4 - loonies or quarters only. I cleaned up the puke and attended to the cat, who seemed fine - not hiding, not in pain, not lethargic.
And in fact, just minutes later, he was chowing down on his Iams cat crunchies. I shrugged and made coffee.
But before the coffee had even cooled enough to drink, Marmalade was puking again - in his own bed this time. Again, I got out the rubber gloves, the paper towels, the cleaning and odour-removing supplies (all non-toxic and safe to use around pets, so I know he's not reacting to those).
By the time I was making a second cup of coffee, he was eating again. I don't get it.
Well, so far so good. Here they are now:

"Very Christian"
From the CNN blog:
On Monday, Robertson said on the Christian Broadcast Network´s "The 700 Club": "We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
The Christian leader went on to say that Washington doesn´t need to engage in another $200 billion war to get rid of one person. "It´s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."
Rangel pointed out that Robertson has influence in the US, adding sarcastically that his words were "very Christian."
His comments "reveal that religious fundamentalism is one of the great problems facing humanity in these times," Rangel said.

Romantic Meritocracy
A famous passage from Wordsworth's Preface to the Lyrical Ballads:
Taking up the subject, then, upon general grounds, I ask what is meant by the word Poet? What is a Poet? To whom does he address himself? And what language is to be expected from him? He is a man speaking to men: a man, it is true, endued with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has a greater knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to be common among mankind; a man pleased with his own passions and volitions, and who rejoices more than other men in the spirit of life that is in him; delighting to contemplate similar volitions and passions as manifested in the goings-on of the Universe, and habitually impelled to create them where he does not find them.
Always "more," "greater," here. The poet is quantitatively, rather than qualitatively, different from the rest of humanity.
Parallel: the differentiation that couldn't quite be cut out of the generally leveling "Declaration of the Rights of Man":
1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good.
A document that only shows its true hand with its last point:
17. Since property is an inviolable and sacred right, no one shall be deprived thereof except where public necessity, legally determined, shall clearly demand it, and then only on condition that the owner shall have been previously and equitably indemnified.
Wish I knew enough about the provenance of the DoRM to know if there's a reason this comes last...
