recipe for a busy summer



1 grad student
2 dissertation chapters
1 visiting english boyfriend
1 packet of "engagement" seasoning
1 diamond ring
1 arcade fire concert
1 trip to the national gallery
1 trip to the art gallery of ontario
1 trip to the royal ontario museum
2 trips to the cottage
1 half-abandoned marathon training programme
lots and lots of books

take 1 grad student and mix with 2 dissertation chapters. it is important to note that the chapters should be near completion, but not quite. if completed, when mixed in, the grad student will explode. stir gently over 2 months. cover and put in a shady location. preferrably a basement or the secret corner of a library. "feed" liberally with coffee (as you would a fruit cake). after the first month, add 1 trip to the cottage. re-cover.

after about 2 months, uncover, and stir in 1 visiting english boyfriend. at the time of adding the english boyfriend, be sure to include the packet of seasoning labelled "engagement". after the seasoning has been mixed in, add the diamond ring. in the mixing, be gentle; if you don't the grad student will, again, explode. sprinkle in some of the half-abandoned marathon training programme.

after the addition of the diamond ring and the half-abandoned marathon training programme, stir in 1 trip to the cottage, the trip to the royal ontario museum, the arcade fire concert, and the trip to the art gallery of ontario. after the dish has been thoroughly mixed, add the trip to the national gallery. check to ensure that the 1 visiting english boyfriend has been thoroughly distributed.

prior to covering and baking in hot, canadian summer weather, ensure that the top has been garnished with lots and lots of books, to taste.

*i promise more frequent updating :)
