We will be in good hands
I saw this on the Mercer Report earlier this week. Very interesting, and the attack ads near the end are hilarious!

Election-related blogs
I ran across a website where you can find a listing of Non-Partisan Bloggers
"The Blogging Alliance of Non-Partisan Canadians gathers together Canadian bloggers, regardless of political affiliation, to celebrate and increase awareness of the diversity of thought within the Canadian blogosphere, and to increase the profile and traffic of member websites."

What if...
...you didn't say no for a full year?
For me, there would be no difference to my dating schedule. I'm going to try really hard not to get depressed over that now!

Ninjas vs. Pirates
Anyone who has spent any amount of time on the NaNoWriMo forums will be instantly pleased at just the thought of this. It's the ultimate love story of our time!

Swoosh!
Tonight I went cross-country skiing with a couple of the other girls in my class. We met at Kinsmen Park at 8 pm and skied in the dark for an hour or so. It was good! I don't feel too bad now, but we'll have to see how I feel tomorrow. I've had skis for 12 years or so, and haven't used them in the last 9 or 10 years. It felt good to get them out again. I look forward to going out again!

Tan is a power colour?
| Your Birthdate: February 25 |
 You excel at anything difficult or high tech. In other words, you're a total (brilliant) geek. It's difficult for you to find people worth spending time with. Which is probably why you'll take over the world with your evil robots! Your strength: Your unfailing logic Your weakness: Loving machines more than people Your power color: Tan Your power symbol: Pi Your power month: July |
Farewell, Irving
Poet Irving Layton Dies
Irving Layton was my favourite poet in high school. I think it must have been his passion... and the sex... that was fascinating to me. It was inspiring. Here are a couple of his shorter poems that I really liked:
Misunderstanding
I placed
my hand
upon
her thigh.
By the way
she moved
away
I could see
her devotion
to literature
was not
perfect.
On My Way To School
On my way to school
I used to pass
A Baptist church
And fields of grass.
"Jesus Saves"
Above the gate
Would comfort me
If I were late.
The church is gone,
The street is paved,
The Home Bank thrives
Where Jesus Saved.
Here you can find the Irving Layton website.
Here's the entry about him in Wikipedia.

A Little Bit of Saskatoon History
Those of you who know me know that I'm a bit of a local history buff. I spent much of the evening tonight wandering around the internet looking at historical pictures of Saskatoon, and reading about the mayors we've had! My original intention was to find this picture of a man who lost a leg in World War One. What's so special about him is that he taught himself how to figure skate with only one leg! I wish I could have seen that! Here's the story about Norman Falkner (along with some other interesting stories from Saskatoon's early days.)
I also found a site with some pictures from Saskatoon (up to 1949). If you click on the picture labelled '1929' at the bottom, then scroll down to the sixth picture on that page you can see what my neighbourhood looked like in the 1920s. I'm going to have to look up Tuxedo Park sometime...

New videos!
I'm not yet totally recovered from my video addiction, apparently.
- The Fishes (reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock!)
- Round 1, Fight!
- Pacman Invasion!
- Scuba diver blows air rings!
Retirement
Well, apparently Dave Barry has decided to retire his weekly humour column. He is still maintaining a blog though.
