dewline: (canadian media)
I woke up, logged in after breakfast, and found that we're still part of the civilized world. For now. Just barely. And the Conservatives are still the Opposition, and the Bloc is back. Hence the "just barely" part of my characterization of Canada's situation.

I would have preferred any of several other outcomes, but here we are, with our usual hangups, neuroses and whatever else. Maybe it's a good thing I went to bed and got some sleep. Otherwise, coping mechanisms would be in worse shape.

Meantime, I still have a min-wage job to work at.
dewline: "Fail" (failure)
So I was on my stationary bike, listening to As It Happens and hearing this guy whining about we'd better let them have the pipelines and the oil money or watch Alberta and Saskatchewan become a country together. The idea that tarsands oil money is important enough to make people in the oil business and their hangers-on want to force people like, say, me to get a visa and passport to visit my grandparents' graves burns my guts. It also got me to stay on the bike for six minutes instead of five.
dewline: Exclamation: "Hear, Hear!" (celebration)
Thanks for sticking it out with me, and here's to many happier birthdays for you
