November 6:
I won a game of NetHack, my favourite computer game. It’s a very hard game. I’ve been playing for about 10 years, and this was the third time I’ve won.
November 10:
I decided it was time to try the field rations. Everything came packaged separately in little pouches, and the directions said to boil the package containing the meat. I was kind of scared, but it actually wasn’t that bad. The pears were the best part. [dinner, dessert]

Celine came to visit me in Toronto and we went out for coffee and croissants with Jennifer and Roy. That was nice. [inside, outside]
November 20:
There is a fridge in the kitchen on my floor in the dorm, but if you leave any food in it somebody else will either eat it or spill goo on it. So I had been keeping my food near my window instead. Today I bought a fridge from the guy across the hall, who was moving out.

On my way to the bus station to go home I stopped in Chinatown and bought a durian to give to Celine’s parents. I had wanted to try one for a while, but didn’t feel brave enough to do it by myself. When Mohamad cut it open the smell of festering garbage filled the whole apartment. Banjo was very interested! Inside the fruit is like little sacks of custard. Really gross. I tried to keep an open mind but I didn’t like the taste at all. Celine liked it a bit better than I did, but not by much. Mohamad and Gisele loved it!
