Locked Out
Couldn't let this go by without writing it. I was a bit irritated and amused all at the same time. The hostel I am ataying at closes the front desk at 6, and as such there are no staff. I happened to leave my key in the bedroom whilst I went to the washroom and upon return realised I could not get back in because the door was locked on the inside. I went and tried to ring the late night check in number, to no avail. Concerned and wanting to sleep I knocked on my friend Js door and we both wondered what to do. I looked out her window and luckily there is a landing that you can, if need be, walk across. Our rooms are next door to each other, so I climbed out her window in almost bare feet (thongs only) and snow and into my room through my window. To the cars passing by it must have looked slightly strange and I am probably lucky the police didn't get called, but we both had a good laugh about it afterwards and happily I managed to get some sleep in the end.
The book launch last night was quite good. I ended up buying the book. It is an autobiography on this guy who is a media philosopher. The author has spent years researching his work. I also bought a book on the Bluenose (the story behind the Halifax boat of the same name). All in all an interesting day.
Have a movie to go to tonight up at one of the universities here which should be quite interesting.
