It was a loss, but still the best part of the afore mentioned party.
They shouldn’t have lost, but that aside, it was still better than sitting in the kitchen while the women (there were, after all, mostly women there) all talked about things I really didn’t want to hear about. We’re going to ignore the 2 empty net goals at the end of … Read the rest

Essays on blindness, and other random things.
It’s bloody amazing the things a person can find out when they’re not actually doing the work. A friend of mine (that’s how you shall be referred to on here ’til you tell me whether or not I can use your actual name, hun, sorry) was doing an essay for … Read the rest

The waiting game, round 3, day 2…
Surprisingly enough, or, perhaps, not so, this is beginning to take on a rather striking resemblence to the last time I tried to get myself a place, a job, and moved in all in the span of less than a week. Except, at least now the apartment’s been put on … Read the rest

She’s a goddamn drama queen.
This is what happens when I say it’s quiet around here. Freakin’ Stronach has to go flying off the handle about a comment made by Alberta’s premier. You know, I have to wonder sometimes. She wants crap like this to just kind of disappear, but then she goes and throws … Read the rest

And it’s back to square 1.
Still nothing but voicemail from the Dell people. Yay people who don’t return phone calls. And now, they’ve already cost me an apartment, as the rental application I preemptively filled out has basicly been declared null and void–the apartment I was applying to rent has already been occupied. I guess … Read the rest

The waiting game, round 2, day 3.
Virtually everything else has been taken care of now. Well, what can be taken care of, at least, without proving that I’m actually employed. So, in short, there isn’t all that much that’s actually been accomplished in the last couple days. I’m still calling, still getting voicemail, and still suspicious … Read the rest

The waiting game, round 2.
Now, however, I’m not waiting for apartment people to get back to me. I’m waiting for employment people to check their voicemail. I’ve been haunting it since yesterday, after I got home from Ottawa, and so far she’s not called me back. Part of me is thinking she just had … Read the rest

So that’s what having power feels like.
Somewhere around 1:30 we ended up losing power, for reasons I still don’t exactly know. Well, other than that Pembroke/Pettawawa’s hydro system sucks royally. So, needless to say, it was not fun when the temperature outside happens to be hovering at or just barely above freezing. I don’t know exactly, … Read the rest

When in doubt, pass the buck.
Nothing ever gets done in Canada’s parliament. I’ve made that implication before. But now, it’s an implication all parties involved, at least, think about acknowledging. So what’s their solution? Well, they *could* agree to start prioritizing things, giving room for the bills with the least likelyhood to be completely and … Read the rest

I think I’ll now be offended.
So apparently, a US judge doesn’t think all too highly of Canada, judging by the fact he gave a man convicted of having sex with a 15-year-old girl the choice between spending a year in jail, and spending the next 3 years exiled to Canada. Of course, the defense lawyer … Read the rest
