Petrol-cide?



I just thought this was an interesting graphic.

Enjoy.

Times like these I tell myself I don't have a car because I don't want to contribute to the warming of the Earth.

But I think the real reason is because I have no money. Because let's face it, London Transit definitely leaves something to be desired.

Modern technology, owes ecology, an apology.

Keep Your Fingers Crossed


Hello Again.

Thought I'd keep you updated. Nothing yet, but I'm still looking. And now that Nancy, Anna and Dina are back in town looking for work as well, the pool is getting smaller and smaller, thanks women. And oh yes, good luck.

I'll keep you posted as to what's going on.

Thinking positive.

Or at the very least, thinking.

The Bare Bones



Yes, yes another episode of "Bones" was aired tonight.

Did anyone catch it? It had an odd Lacey Peterson-esque feel to it, although the end was full of delightful twists.

In case you didn't see it, there was a disappointing element to tonight's episode; Boothe has a kid. No, this is not my normal dislike of kids, this is just my dislike of cheesy, weak plotlines to keep the boring people to watch Bones. My message to Fox Television: We're better off without those weak viewers.

Unfortunately, next week's episode looks like it includes a lot of "emotionality" from Brennan. Sigh.

Happily, though Hodges (a.k.a. Hodge-Podge) had a nice piece in this week's episode.

We'll just have to wait and see next week. And trust me, I'll be here.

P.S. Tonight was the premiere of the third season of Laguna Beach: The Real O.C. I was unimpressed. Mostly I wanted to vomit while watching selfish, immature teens with too much money and a sense of entitlement act pathetic. But yes, I still watched. I will admit that the main reason was so I can connect with Annie. Who has, since her move to University of Guelph, abandoned me (see previous post).

Mother: When you have children, you can't believe the feeling of attachment, love and commitment that is created. You have to have children to know it.

Bones: That's the release of the chemical seratone. It's chemistry, not a miracle.

Abandonment: Part Deux


Today we dropped off Annie at the University of Guelph. She had an amazing amount of stuff (the truck was filled to the brim!). And to our amazement she got one of the best rooms at the oldest residence at U of G.

She has a fireplace in her room. It doesn't work, but it looks fabulous.

And it must be said that I was always joking when I refered to University of Guelph as "Moo U". But it really is built on farmland. While driving through campus I saw horses. Horses.

I couldn't believe how laid back her school is, either. Definitely a good fit for Annie, I think she'll have an excellent time there!

However, Annie's departure leaves me. At home. Alone with my parents.

Good thing I like them.

Way to go Annie!

Q: "How many University of Guelph students does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"

A: "Seven. One to screw it in, six to figure out how to power it on manure."
