drinking with Russians

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.11.14

This evening I met with Juriy and Paul from Pontis to celebrate Juriy's finding a job at BMO. This enables him to stay in the country, so I'm pleased that I put him in touch with the agency that placed him. Now it's my turn!

Funny, isn't it, that you only run into an old acquaintance who lives in your neighborhood after you've been drinking rounds of sake with Russians all night?

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
