Officially on break

Hi guys,

I know it's been an absurdly long time since I've last written a post. I wish I had more time to devote to this thing - I have so much I want to say about the impending ascendency of a coalition government in Canada, about how incredible Obama's election was and what his presidency might hold in store down south, about the amazing books I read this year (oh, how I want to tell you about Cormac McCarthy and The Road before the movie comes out). All the wicked stuff I've been learnig in ecology. The death of Michael Crichton, another of my favourite childhood authors. But I've had to devote my time to other projects this year. Trent's student newspaper, Arthur. The International Development Studies department's conference this February on Food Sovereignty and the Changing Face of Agriculture (catchy, no?). Classes. Life.

The abundant possibilities of human connection still compel me in so many directions. I just don't think I'll be able to explore them on here for a while. Same goes for The Subject Tonight, which I love making, but which I just don't have time to do interviews and editing for right now. I have a few stories in mind for an upcoming episode about Difference, and I'll be keeping them available to download for free for as long as my dwindling bank account can sustain it, don't worry.

It has been a great pleasure speaking with you all here, and I hope to get the opportunity to do so again before long.

Yours,

Chris
