I usually claim that autumn is my favourite season and the best time to be in Toronto. When I make those claims, I tend to forget how many wet, grey, gloomy, autumn days we get, even in October. (In November it's expected--all of November is wet, grey, and gloomy.) Ah well, at least it keeps me inside and working. And gives me an excuse to drink maple lattes from Starbucks and cook fall food. Like French onion soup, which I made last night.

So yes, back in Toronto, back from the conference, still writing up my conference report, and otherwise very busy. Right now I'm trying to find a dissertation topic that both my supervisor and I are interested in. I want to do internet + politics, and he wants me to do internet + popular culture; hopefully we'll be able to meet in the middle somewhere.

There's a thought.... Not sure he'd go for it, though, so I might have to make it internet + the politics of culture

Lattes.

What is a macchiato?

Amen to this year's sucktastic fall weather.

[semiotic-trader.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not?

Where did you get your recipe for French onion soup?

I cobbled it together from here and there. I read through recipes on Epicurious and Allrecipes and cooking, and read the reviewer comments, and then picked out the what seemed to be the essentials and added in a few of the extras that also sounded good. (B teases me about my propensity for reading cookbooks for fun.)
