Wow today was one of those days where as soon as I step outside it starts to drizzle out. As the light rain drops hit the pavement, I think to myself hmmm I probably dont need a jacket. I then head out to my doctors appointment and since it is a hospital there was little parking. So, I managed to get a decent parking spot but at this moment the rain is coming pretty hard, a minute in this rain will drench you from head to toe. Anyways I get in the hospital and am chilled to the bone. Next I did some chores around town, I had to pick up a new alarm clock, and have dinner but all the while I was in damp clothes and the chill went right through my body. Every five minutes I let out a shiver and I felt cold and uncomfortable all day. Finally I get home and change into sweat pants and play some Battlefield 1943 and looked through some games to pre-order. Now Im pretty comfortable and it seems I can appreciate this moment all the more, since I went from bone chilling coldness that makes it impossible to be comfortable to the epitome of comfort. Id say in spite of the weather and the coldness and the rain, the day was actually pretty good.
On an entirely different note, in the bioethics world I read an article in globe and mail about stem cells creating the possibility for two lesbians conceiving a baby that has genetic components of both women. While scientifically this may be possible, Id like to see other research funding going towards treating genetic disorders like muscular dystrophy first. Although it may create some interesting changes in gender studies, and a radical (although some might think not so radical) shift in gender roles.
