Some Canadian observations:
1 -it's really fucking beautiful up here
2 -I think the mile markers are dead porcupines
3 -there is an FM radio station dedicated to the Tragically Hip
4 -there are coyote warnings on the beach
5 -food, even a Tim Horton's brekkie sandwich, is great
More later my dearests, off for some afternoon food & drinks.

According to ItHappenedtoAlexa, Bill O'Reilly will be speaking at a luncheon for their foundation. Their foundation is to honour the courage that their daughter showed when encountered with the legal system's ugly handling of rape victims.

Wait, wasn't there something about Bill O'Reilly and a rape victim a while back? Oh, yea. Bill knows why wimmin-folk get raped. They deserve it.

I hope some of you join me in pointing this out to the foundation. Here's their contact page

I nearly forgot about his sexual harassment suit. Another drop in the "Bill O'Reilly hates women" bucket.

... again.

Tomorrow is the ten year anniversary of dating for the me & my husband. He's got a friend from his hometown coming up for the weekend, we'll be going out to dinner with some friends, including one that is licensed to marry people in this county. Another one of the couples we're going out with wasn't able to make it to the last wedding. Plus, since we'll have a house guest and can't get away, we have to do something to celebrate, right?

This will be our fourth wedding. To each other. I'm going to get away from work for a little bit so we can get another marriage license, then, before dinner, we'll have another little ceremony!

oooohhhh, I need to buy something "new", don't I? I want to write new vows I think, too.

yea. I guess I am a little. Quiz taken after seeing it on jimheem

From the headline on this headline from CNN.
Novel software drives '$100 laptop'

Forget windows, folders and boxes that pop up with text. When students in Thailand, Libya and other developing countries get their $150 computers from the One Laptop Per Child project in 2007, their experience will be unlike anything on standard PCs.

Yea. I was thinking Novell. And I would have thought that was pretty cool. But alas, I am just socially inept, and care more about computers than starving children without laptops. Crap. I should make a resolution about this.

While I normally would not mind so much, number one -they are sending me to bloody Riverhead. Middle of nowhere, nearly an hour away. There is a perfectly lovely supreme court up the block -might I just pop in there, instead? Number two -I have to be there at 09.30. Not a morning person. Soooooo not a morning person. Number three -I need to get my car inspected (overdue by two weeks, long story, yes, bad Kelly.) so, I will be driving the giant maroon marshmallow. Number four -it is very likely that I will spend several hours catching up with all the work I miss while there. No cameras, so my phone won'r be allowed in, and I somehow doubt that I will get an unsecured WAP for the laptop. Number five -no sharp pointy objects. I have to remember to remove my leatherman & my corkscrew before hitting security, AND later remember to add the things back in to my bag. Overall, this would appear to be a large pain in the ass. On the flip side, professional jurors may not be the way to go with the justice system, either.

I am on vacation, so I may actually post ;)

I think they have us confused with someone else:

Blizzard watch in effect from Saturday afternoon through
Sunday morning...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a blizzard
watch... which is in effect from Saturday afternoon through Sunday
morning.

Snow will begin during Saturday afternoon... and become heavy at times
Saturday night. Northeast winds will also increase Saturday night to
25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph... causing blizzard conditions
along with considerable blowing and drifting of snow.

By the time the snow ends Sunday morning... accumulations should
average 8 to 12 inches... with locally higher amounts possible.
The highest totals are most likely to occur in and near New York
City... and across western Long Island.

A blizzard watch means there is a potential for falling and or
blowing snow with strong winds and extremely poor visibilities.
This can lead to whiteout conditions and make travel very dangerous.

This is new. I thought we might get some flurries, but... 8"-12"?! DAMN!

Must be time to buy milk, eggs & bread. Or my version, which is wine, cheese & cigarettes.

I've had a life recently. Now, I am tired of it. Don's had gigs the past few weekends, we've had parties to go to, other bands' gigs, people hanging out. All this, with work and then trying to keep up with house stuff makes me a sleepy girl.

I've started going to the chiro again, too. It's good, cause it forces me to leave work by 6pm, but then that means I feel guilty about showing up at 10am. I am not good at making it in by 8.30am. ugh. I expect to be cranky next week. Hopefully, I will get an answer as to whether chiro is really going to fix my back, or it I should try something else.
