so many geese
The Experimental Farm was host to a terrifying amount of Canada Geese this morning. I could hear them before I could see them. I’m not a big fan of Canada Geese. We had tons of them back home in Minden, and they liked to hang out on our beach. They’re loud and miserable and crap [...]
Oh Carleton
Students Drop Shinerama fundraiser for illness targeting Caucasians - CBC.ca Carleton University is in the news again, and again, it’s for something shitty. Read the article. I’ll wait… … … … Ok. I must admit, after too many years of being in university, I always wondered why the universities here did Shinerama, and why the [...]

On Wednesday morning, I got a phone call early in the morning saying that she had been admitted to hospital the night before, and was having tests to confirm the doctors’ diagnosis. I quickly finished up my thesis draft (see last post) and [...]

Kiki is well. She’s still living with me, despite the recent revelation that she is ranked among my most severe allergens. In fact, her new nickname is “my little allergen”. Some of the suggestions I received have brought relief. I bought a HEPA air filter for my bedroom, which is as far as my current [...]

Remembrance Day
Since they started showing those Remembrance Day spots on tv, and since I started seeing poppies around, I’ve been missing my grandfather. Whenever we observed remembrance day in the past, I always associated it with him, as he was a flight instructor with the RCAF during World War II. His participation in “war” was the [...]

Requisite comment
I’m happy Obama got in. Hopefully things will slowly turn around. I’m not super optimistic, as usual, but that people voted for him alone makes me think things might not be as bad as I thought things were. I already feel a bit sad for Obama, because I doubt he’ll live up to the lofty expectations [...]
