...and I've been checking job boards, listening to the Sunday Edition on Radio One, vacuuming the residence, getting milk and doing some other stuff like trying to polish off a practice pencil sketch of Daredevil.

I miss drawing regularly. I used to be able to say that I spent at least an hour of every day working with pencil or pen and putting something that made visual sense to paper. Now I go anywhere from a day to two weeks without that. There is something Wrong in this.

However, there's other things to do in the meantime. Today, it's the ByMUG meeting at Patty's in the Market.

Just so you know.

I was passing through the Rideau Centre en route to the ByMUG meeting - attending said meeting as I type this listening to a discussion about "cutting the cord" - and discovered that not only has the mall's management relocated the food court from level one to level two, specifically to where the ground floor of Eaton's - later Sears Canada - used to be...but they decided that - for reasons as yet unclear to me - Eaton Court, the hub section of the second floor in front of where Eaton used to be in the days when it was a charter tenant of the Rideau Centre, had to be renamed...to Nordstrom Court.

I have a cultural history problem with this choice. Regardless of how and why it happened. I believe it disrespectful of the history of the mall and of Canadian retail history in general.

Not going along with that, thanks!

PS: I'm still calling the football stadium "Lansdowne Park", too. TD-Canada Trust can just live with that bit of rebellion against their marketing plans and methods.
