oh, and you think you're peeing your pants Taylor?
The Rheostatics are coming soon, and Five O'Clock Charlie is opening for them. If I was Five O'Clock Charlie, I'd be peeing myself rather thoroughly. The Rheostatics!
and what's this about the Sidetrack moving? I thought people had made enough of a ruckus to stop them from selling the land, have they gone and done it anyway?

Taylor, what's really strange about it is that it's not just on the computer screen, it's everywhere. I noticed the visual problem a lot more than I usually do while I was travelling. The colour red just seems to jump out at me, moreso when I'm tired. Whether it's a traffic sign or a picasso painting, little bits of red stick straight out like they're a foot in front of the rest of the imagery. And when the whole thing is red (or a large majority of it), I have some serious problems.
But this is something that I've actually noticed for a long time, through lots of optometrist visits where I mentioned it (on the 'which looks clearer, the letters on a red background or a green one?' test) but never made it out to be an actual concerning issue. perhaps I should. though what could they do?

Tap two swamps and cast terror on Harper, fifty-fifty are the odds that he's either evil himself or is an artifact creature.

actually, Alison; on my new LCD monitor, certain colours look "raised" on the screen especially against a black background. I can't explain the physics behind this phenomenon, but I've been pondering it for some time. I'll let you know when I figure out why this happens.

um, thanks Jess. in doing a rather brief inventory, I'm not sure that I can come up with an answer to your question. in fact, I truly don't know if there is a part of me that always works. excellent.
I'm super glad Belle's doing okay. I hope you were able to sleep the night too, because I can imagine it'd be difficult to do much else other than listen to her troubles. Give her a hug for me, k?

Belle lived through the night and is totally fine today. Yay! So I gave her a bath . . . ha ha ha! It's really bad when she has nights like that - she pants and wheezes and sneezes and shivers and drools. But like I said, it happens about once a month, but otherwise isn't a problem at all. And it doesn't seem to be related to either the weather or to how much exercise she's had in the previous few days. Very weird.
Also, I locked my keys in my car today (not good) so I had an excuse to skip my class (good). I've become distressingly absent-minded. Last Thursday some guy stopped at my house to return my wallet - which I hadn't noticed I was missing.
I didn't watch the debate last night, which makes this the first election I've been able to vote in that I haven't watched the debate. Apathy, here I come (am). I have been contacted by three potential MPs (actually, people working for the potential MPs) for my riding - the Liberal, NDP and Green candidates'. Guess Jaffer isn't worried about not winning. Guess he really doesn't have to be. Stupid Alberta.
And I need to go grocery shopping as there is nothing in my house to eat for dinner.
Alison - Never happened to me. Is there any part of your body that always works?

just wanna say that that four-eyed face really doesn't bother me. sometimes I see double all on my own, so that wasn't all that new for me. ... what does that make me though? is there some way to fix seeing double? because i'm not cross-eyed... so what could be causing it?
meh, whatever, I'll live with it, it's been no big deal thus far (up until lately, where seeing red has become a problem too - anyone else see one colour as being far more 'close' to you than any of the others? like it's 3-D? or is that just me?) stupid eyes.

Harper invokes the name of René Lévesque here. Political firewood in Quebec.
Invoke... funny word... kinda like summon. Maybe Harper can tap two water to summon up some Mystic Denial over the invoking of René Lévesque.
