SO!
It's been minus forty outside for most of the month. sometimes minus fifty. I have very little to do but sit inside wrapped in cynicism and a quilt and glare evilly at the outside world that putters by needlessly with their parkas and functional SUVs. I think i'm getting old. And really my only solution to the situation is to take a hair dryer to the front lawn and get to work, lather on some night cream, and pump out as much ozone damaging gas as is humanly possible. somebody's got to.

And in my negative moods and temperatures, i have developed a severe and unnatural obsession with Blue October and Queen. Who clearly have no right being on the same shelf in a CD display let alone side by side on my playlist.

This is what happens when i am placed before a computer and left to my own devices.

So what is going on in the world? Obama is president. How does this affect me in Canada? Very little. But the fact that there's no one worse than Harper now, and we're slightly dazed, confused and annoyed about it. well, to the extent that we care. I mean,like most Canadians, the only things i know about politics are the things that get past the fingers in my ears when my boyfriend is blathering on and on about liberals this and coallition such and such and browsing through the readers digest in the bathroom where it belongs. i am more given to care about world issues than what goes on in my back yard. We're getting spoiled. And it's humbling to realise that third world countries are still at war, still starving, still scraping by, and we're sending millions to our banks and car companies so we can buy a porsche on sale and still feel good about saving our environment. It's amazing how little people care about that old "gas crisis" when they are faced with the option of not having a new car every year.

Even though it's now nearly February, i will close by saying:
My news years resolution is to do everything i resolved to do last year and never got around to doing then.

Wish me luck!!!
