Blog Thirty-Two: Various Crud

1. Looks like I'm going back to Edmonton for three nights in February. Joyyyyy.

Of course after that it's home for three months (and to be honest, one three-night trip in an entire month is a very light month for me) but the thought of going back to the all-travel diet in late April makes me sick to my stomach. I'll keep doing it because someone has to bring home the bacon, but I will be looking for other sources of bacon, commencing this week, just in case something ideal is out there. I'm tired of not being home and missing the Small Girl.

2. It appears overwhelmingly likely the Conservatives will win a narrow minority government on Monday. (Steve, bless his soul, is convinced they will win a majority. No, they won't.)

I wonder, if the government lasts, what people will say in four years about it. None of the scare stories are going to happen, you realize. The government will not reverse same sex marriage. They will not stop abortion. They will not dismantle the health care system. There is zero chance - zero, zip, nada - that any of those things will happen. It's simply not possible that they could do those things. Do you think in four years people will even remember those claims were made?

3. This weekend the Sens play the Leafs twice, on Saturday and Monday. I'll be in front of the tube with my Sens jersey on.

4. Carly, if your damned character was Alliance I could give you some money, I have like 2.5 gold right now. Why'd you have to be a Tauren?
