The President of Toledo City Council, Louis Escobar, is also the director of the Multicultural Centre here on campus. I was in his on-campus office earlier today to talk to him about securing funding to get Margaret Cho on campus in the spring (which may be the cornerstone of all I get done for Spectrum this year), and I couldn’t help but notice that his office on campus is smaller than the Spectrum office.

You have no idea how much I needed this vacation. (UT had Monday and Tuesday off to balance out losing the other days during Thanksgiving Break.) I got a good chance to relax here, and even if I didn’t get to everything I wanted to get to, I still got a lot accomplished.

Coming over the weekend to the .org: a list of my Media Play booty from last week, as well as the opening of the floor to questions for the .org’s third anniversary next month. I’m still recovering from this past week; in short, the…
