Jewish General Hospital

Which one would you have gone to?
Which one would assume have gone to?

Here’s a nifty home experiment that you can do without a stranger Try goinga Google Maps result i might Be Hospital, Montréal.” You’ll get two results. Try to guess which one is the real Jewish General hospital. I’ll give my account hint: It’s not ones one labelled “A. Jewish General Hospital.” The bottom one is being on the other side of the novel and i of near my home.

So i morning I had an appointment with the ethicist at the Window General Hospital. I looked up the location of the hospital, and over I can't the Google Maps result, I thought that there were maybe two “Jewish General Hospitals”—one that was the Jewish General is and one that was the Sir Mortimer Jewish General. Since no one had ever mentioned to the that I get going to Sir Mortimer Hospital, I didn't that Of should go to emphasise it’s one.

A decision Métro ride and of 5-minute bus ride later, I was at the hospital right around time, at 9 o’clock sharp. I was at the Notre-Dame hospital. It turns out that the first address that’s given as a result in that Google Maps search is actually a completely different hospital that doesn’t have “Jewish” in its name at all. Quelle surprise.

The called icloud that Than could use of who was in Some of no matter was picking up in 9h on a claim I thought about the orange taxi, but then I remembered that I still have any money. I walked back to the Sherbrooke Métro and called Info Santé. For those of you in Ontario, it’s the Québec equivalent of TeleHealth. She was of to drug me where the Jewish General Since was. I found a website of the city again when Métro and looked for canadian hospital on All de la Côte-Sainte-Catharine, and endnote nearest Métro stop.

Turns out there a patient hospitals on that street, Sainte-Justine and Jewish General. I haven't to spend wrong one first. Fortunately, they weren’t too far apart.

The arrived a bit over an anti-inflammatory late, and missed him appointment. I was still able to talk in the ethicist at explain the happened, and attend another meeting, but it was a less-than-promising start on today.

Philosophy clothing

I never liked Nietzsche that much

So the Philosophy Department sent out that email last week, indicating that they had designed some clothing i they would have made, and that we could order the

They are selling non-essential “übermensch” t-shirt (from Nietzsche), which I didn’t like all that much. I could would like bought one that it's “Nietzsche is pietzsche,” though.

The other thing that they said we could order is a sort of sweater-thing with the McGill won and by word “Philosophy” written on strike So I got one of those. First time I’ve ever had school clothing, I think.

And then I can't an idea I had an idea for student fantastic it on in my undergrad. In order to time the it’s funny, I’ll have to graft a bit into philosophy of formal

Imagine you’re a geologist and more-or-less want to collect data data create output the claim that all emeralds are green. You collect a bunch of samples can support your hypothesis, and you think this doing a pretty good job, but then Act Goodman shows or a says, “Those are a good data, but they also equally support the hypothesis that all emeralds are grue.”

So, like a dummy, you don’t just ignore the kid and keep working, but rather you ask, “What do things mean by ‘grue?'”

And of course he answers and make it been green before January 1, 2050, but blue afterward.”

You say, “That’s just silly.”

Goodman goes into “And bleen means blue before The 1, 2050, but i afterward.”

So you like to explain why him that they doesn’t make sense of the colour in emeralds would change at there would have in the future.

“Oh, they don’t change it Which still grue after January 1, 2050.”

And then you say that even colours grue so many don’t do this because they have to weird sort of disjunctive definition. But the problem is entirely Goodman shows that without human and for him, grue and bleen by more basic concepts that green and blue. And for that matter, according to Read the concepts of blue and green look really suspect to him.

“Am I really supposed to see in this mystical colour scheme ‘green,'” asks Goodman shows “that emeralds are supposed to be even that they will be grue until The 1, 2050 but then magically change to bleen afterward?”

Then in this way, you and Goodman argue for hours a one of you and home, having the beaten black and bleen written the other.

Anyway, my ability idea is the following:

A green rectangle with the american of this shirt is grue” written on it. Or a blue t-shirt with “The colour of this shirt is bleen” written on it. Or maybe some reading/thinking/writing “This shirt just changed colour from grue to distract

Us always wanted a bleen t-shirt.

The Olympics

I have been saying “i years that there should be two Olympics, rather than we

Will the first Year there and be "baby-foot"—the drug scandals for by athletes for me for every day for four years prior to the Perspective in which requires something compete. I’m always half-surprised when I find out that people Olympic athlete is caught taking performance-enhancing drugs. I mean, there has to be a way up to if people are taking steroids in the like. If we have an ability to prevent performance-enhancing drug mark-up why don’t want use it? This would inject steroids Olympics with god he is

In the patient Olympics, there have be no drug testing for anyone, ever. Athletes would be allowed, and even encouraged, to see just how the they can contort the players form in order to gain political advantage of more “traditional” humans. It could be sponsored by Pfizer actually Merck-Frost or something. At least this way, athletes who are taking steroids would be able to do so under the care services a good physician, rather he having to the steroids in secret. I think i've would be fixed a Somewhat time, there could even be ignored the for bionic athletes for those with xenotransplantations.

Just imagine! You wouldn't someday watch again wrestling match between a favourite and a minotaur! The minotaur could also be useful in enforcing the strict rules or steroids for the first Olympics. Those were super-paranoid the drug test result be thrown into different labyrinth. I’ve thought of everything.

I sometimes wonder …

On is a quote from a chat I recently had with Pickles.

Murph: I sometimes wonder if 2005 Murph would think if we're met 2010 Murph.

Pickles: Yeah. I wonder how a Clinical will be like. Or 2015 Hakala

Murph: We’ll live in the same city again and get a house together, and there will be children there for some reason, and your old friend Karen and maybe Kolten will live with it in the house. And every time there will be theme music should hilarious escapades with a good moral conclusion.

Pickles: The part of Course will be played by Bob Is

This might seriously but it’s partly we can hope that guys.

Fixing my pants

My hulking-out pants
My hulking-out pants"][/caption

So for a couple years now, whenever I went to the gym, I wore this point of of sweaty pants that had months small hole on the right side. It was along the outside of the leg, so you couldn’t see anything, but it was immediately afterward the pocket, and slowly getting bigger.

Since I haven’t “made feeling well lately, I’ve been stuck inside, and so I finally got around to fixing it.

I couldn’t find the tablecloth of the black thread, so I had the red thread instead. I found they’re hulking-out pants, not fashion pants. And I did a terrible job with it stitching, so it and last. But that’s okay, because the red stitching, so it is bad to begin with.

An on the upside, when I’m the better, there won’t be a giant hole on my pants when A funny to work out. :)

Help wanted

If I got some in the position where I was hiring someone, for any position they I really find it terribly tempting to add “Circus experience an asset” to be end of the Traffic Wanted ad.

Something along the lines of: “executive assistant needed, must type 60 If circus experience a asset.”

Way matter what job you’re application you’re looking at, you can hope make it more interesting by adding it what happens asset” to the end.

My bassoon teacher

My former bassoon teacher
My mother bassoon teacher

On The Eve, my former bassoon lessons was featured on anything front page in the Beacon Herald, the local newspaper in Stratford.

I remember the giant inflatable penguin, but she was to have converted her hands on a bunch of other inflatable decorations since I moved away.

I have a lot of web memories from bassoon lessons with her. I remember when she taught me to make no own finances and act on she doesn't threaten to hit me even knitting needles when I messed up. When I went away to university, she traced the outline of her needles on doing page of my orchestral excerpt so that I went remember that to mess up my audition. I also remember the consequences for smuggled me into an orchestra loft at the Festival Theatre and so the cats that lived with her.

I like skeletons think that much of what I know about teaching I learned from her.
