This is your standard depressed entry. Went for a walk on the beach before sunset hoping to take a few pictures of myself, on the way had to battle between the usual annoyances of packs of jr. high/high school kids. Then after fighting and walking long enough to finally be alone some asshole and his floozie of a girlfriend park their car on the ( Read more... )

So now we're short of 155 by one seat. Gahh.

Ahhh, how can you not love politics. Winners, losers, high stakes, strategy. It's like a sport that actually matters. We have a Liberal minority government with the likely support of the NDP to achieve a tentative voting majority. And Jack won his seat, though that was very close. Locally I voted NDP but we lost to the Liberals in another very ( Read more... )

This is so funny, I'm connected to the Net right now via Dial Up on my comp's internal modem. The last time I used dial up I was probably in Junior High. I found out UVic gives their students a free connection via dial up to the Net for 15 mins a day, and I wanted to try it out. This summer is about reclaiming things - Reclaiming my body by ( Read more... )

I feel so dirty. Some chick just made a post in underdogs, the Matt Good fan community, about how she slept with the bassist of Matt's band last night. With a picture of him holding her exposed boob. I don't know, I just feel dirty. At least Matt didn't participate in any of this, apparently she and the bassist and the guitarist went to the bar after ( Read more... )

Today was great! I finished reading my copy of No Logo, and started reading the copy of Adbusters that I bought. No Logo is one of those books that flows over you like water, you devour its pages so fast. I'm sending it to my dipshit, ignorant brother who's off to Australia in a week and a half. On my parent's money. It'll be a learning ( Read more... )

So I was in the shower mentally bitching about my brother and the Conservative party, when I had a little idea. Wouldn't it be nice to know exactly why people in Victoria would support the Conservatives over the Liberals, New Democrats, and Greens? This is less about changing minds and more about collecting information. I mean, I'd be willing to ( Read more... )

Excerpt of an earlier post today on mattgoodfeed:

120 billion dollars, 11,000 innocent Iraqi lives, 830+ US dead, 4000+ US wounded, 100+ coalition dead, 0 WMD's, and after all of it the 9/11 inquiry rules out any possible link between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and 9/11How George Bush isn't in ( Read more... )

I slept 11 hours last night, it was good. LM and I had a fight, thus keeping up our monthly schedule of near-breakups. We come close, but the few times I've decided I want to end it I arrive home only to swing back to the "Well, let's have her out here one more time to make one more go of it and then see." mentality. So, she'll be here in August ( Read more... )

Well now. I nailed my presentation, it was fun and successful. Then I arrive home to see I've been accepted to Ryerson Polytechnic University, for a Bachelor of Applied Science in Food and Nutrition. With strong grades this would lead into possible work as a Dietitian, after a Masters or internship of one year. The slight problem is that I also ( Read more... )
