you know, i’ve worked entirely too hard for a friday. at least now i have a minute or so to catch my breath. *pant*
\nwicked winds woke me from a dead sleep at 1:01 this morning. i thought my windows were going to blow off the side of the building. while i was up, i witnessed the transformer across the street blow up. that was fun! trying to go back to sleep was not. i’m not exactly sure when i finally passed out, but it was far too close to two am, if you ask me. which you didn’t, but i thought i’d tell you anyway.
\nnext week is looking freakishly busy. monday, i’m going to yet another movie karen won tickets to. tuesday is a double-feature at the ridge i really<\/i> want to see (but probably won’t). wednesday i’m supposed to go to the dentist, but i think i’ll cancel that because i don’t think i want to go to the hockey game (!!!) after having fillings replaced. thursday is a union meeting i must attend. friday we’re going to pho for lunch, but the night is free which is good because i start my next course that saturday. phew. oh yeah, and i’m taking my car in tomorrow to get it all ready for the rest of winter and, hopefully, going to the art gallery.
\nnow, about this plebiscite<\/A> business. the more i hear that hat-wearing, swaggering ex-m.e., larry campbell<\/A> prattle on about “giving vancouverites a voice”, the more i want to scream. not because accurately gauging public support is a bad idea, on the contrary, i totally agree with that. not even because i worry that the ioc<\/A> will get nervous if we show any waver in our support for the bid, which i do. why it irks me to no end is that mister mayor seems to think that only the residents of vancouver city should have a say in this. well, buck that, fuddy. if the entire olympics and all its venues fell within your council’s borders, then sure. go right ahead. hold your vote and make it definitive.
\nwhat da vinci seems not to realize, or care about, are the other communities in the lower mainland who will equally bear responsibility for hosting the games. hey, is that whistler residents and business owners i hear screaming bloody murder? wait, what about the north shore mountains? don’t forget about all the poor people in other municipalities who will have to deal with the influx of people and traffic and just general inconveniences brought by having the world focus on such an event. don’t they deserve a chance to speak, too?
\nmr. campbell’s arrogance — maybe it’s in the name? — astounds me. then again, this is the same man who wants to set up safe injection sites<\/A> for heroin addicts. yeah, that’s a great idea. maybe it really is<\/i> in the name. sounds just like someone else named campbell who wants to proliferate alcohol through our communites as much as legally possible. buying beer at a gas station is such a good idea, too!
\nby the way, i never vent on politics, so i reserve any and all rights to be wrong, sound like a moron or just generally be a whiny bitch about things i don’t know very much about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
