I've managed to calm down today by not watching any television coverage. I'm thinking, however, that my blood pressure may rise again very shortly when I sit myself down in front of the tv. Perhaps I should just watch a movie or two like maybe 'Angel Heart' or 'Cat People'. It's just a coincidence that they're both set in New Orleans. Seriously. Do you believe...

The type of anger that I'm feeling right now is the type of anger that results in destruction and looting and lawlessness and revolution.
It's caused by a helplessness brought on by frustration and disgust at government. Both my government at provincial and federal levels and the government in the USA. I'm disappointed in the American people for electing a man like George Bush twice,...

i THINK at around 10.
these shows are such a slapped together thing, im surprised they actually happen.
but any time between 10 and 2 we should be crammed up there on the 6 inch high stage.

The story?....Well...I'll tell you when I come to town.
It's just all so sad, isn't it? One of my dreams has always been to visit New Orleans. Will the city ever be the same as it was?

It's absolutely unbelievable. I had always looked forward to going to New Orleans myself. Now it will be years before it will be even close to what it was like before.....and as you speculate, maybe it never will be
nikonjustice:
It is very sad. Look at history though, Great things pass away all the time, even great cities. Carpe Diem!!!
Had dinner at Mama Mia tonight with a few of my family (only ten of us) followed, of course, by gelati next door on Corydon. It's weird to walk by Jenn's store and think that Jenn doesn't work there anymore.

I lived in Winnipeg for 24 out of my 30 years of existance.
You went to Kelvin High Eh?! I knew who went to Kelvin over 15-17 years ago.
Winnipeg has a place in my heart but, it is still a thorn in my side.
I am arranging to a trip to see the folks for Christmas. Maybe we could have an SGWpg get together?
I'll let you know.

I guess you would have to be a bit of a perfectionist in order to have the job you have....at least in order to do it well I would think!
Oh man, I HATE stepping in kitty barf!!!!

I was thinking that it'd be sort of out of sight if I just made one journal entry for the rest of my time as a member, but kept adding more and more to the entry. I guess that would mean that I'd keep making more journal entries, but I'd fall to the bottom of everybody's lists, and you'd all think I'd stopped updating, but...

I once considered a career in that direction....I enjoy the orderliness that it seems to innately demand....the columns and rows.

We get it on most every night
When that old moon gets so big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin'...

I have a crap memory, I'm lucky if I can remember what I did last year!
I have never seen a ghost ( or heard, or felt) though apparently the hospital I work in has certain areas where weird shit happens. But I figure i have always been nice to all my patients so they have no reason to come back and haunt me!

I think I'm going to keep going out to the lake all Fall too, until we have to shut the water off. It's so much more relaxing for me out there, whether or not it's sunny. I worry about the Oz sometimes when I'm out there, that's the only problem. I don't know why. He has his food and water and all he does is...

I loved Blyss's voice! Her boots were also cool. Hurray for stampy boots!
I took off from work early today, went and got my head shaved (well, not quite shaved, but pretty damn close), and now I think I'm going to go out to the lake for the evening. But not before I give Ozzie his fluid injections. I was over at a friend of mine's place on Wednesday and she has two hyper young cats (all young...

No, I'm not really okay right now. But thanks for the cncern. *hug* What happened? He decided that he didn't love me anymore. Despite the fact that he professed to it and our life together just the day before. I wish I could vanish into thin air. It has to be less painful than this.
sluttygoodgirl:
Thats what I think!! What's not to love about Pippi?! I hope they feel the same
Went to the funeral for my brother-in-law's dad this morning. He had a good long life and was an awfully nice man. It's not been easy for my brother-in-law, though. It's never easy. I feel really blah.
I forgot to mention, the Premier of Manitoba was at the funeral today. I thought that was pretty nice.

I am glad that my Calvin and Hobbes pics made you laugh!! Here are a few good animations for you:

Glad you are feeling better.
The friend who threw the party for me is from the phillipines so she made stirfry noodles and springrolls and stuff, and someone else made lots of sort of turkish/middle eastern stuff. Sounds like an odd mix, I know but it was great!
They seem to have rather a lot of ghosts up in edinburgh. One of my friends wanted to tke me on a ghost tour once but I refused. I'm not even sure if I believe in it but decided I'd rather not find out> I'm a wuss.

Tonight I'm going to Cafe 22 with two friends of mine from work who happen to be sisters. They also like searching for ghosts. Beer, food and entertaining company. What more could a guy ask for? We're taking the 'Haunted Winnipeg' bus tour on September 8th, and we're all looking forward to that.

It's like a full police check coz it's the first time I have worked for that agency, they only do it once, but 8 weeks is still stupid. I love the way everything is so inefficient in this country...not.
Have you ever seen any ghosts?
