Random Assortments Post

Lots of little unrelated things to discuss in this post today so don't expect any form of coherency. When something bigger or more interesting happens in my life you can expect a post on that. But until then, this kind of a post will have to make due.


First off, congrats to Obama winning the elections last night. I don't usually like to discuss politics on my blog but this is kind of a significant event so it deserves some form of mention. Also hard to not notice it seeing as all my friends on Facebook kind of exploded.

Is this a good or bad thing? Hard to say. Though I guess it's true that once you go black, you can't go back.

Now if Canada could only get rid of Stephen Harper... I hate the man for trying to censor the Internet up here.

Should this man really represent us?

Next thing is snow. It literally went from just leaves on the ground to up to 25cm of snow overnight. There have been over 200 collisions, buses take forever to get anywhere, parts of highways have been closed off, and the last I heard, the light rail transit was shut down too.

Getting to classes tomorrow is going to be so much fun.

I should be used to it I guess. Though my friends from the province of BC are just laughing. I hate them so much right now.


Last thing, I'm booking an appointment with my doctor. My lungs will not leave me alone and they're starting to hurt sporadically. It's not longer just random breathlessness or discomfort, it's pain not unlike when my lung was healing from surgery. I'm not sure what's happening, but the fact that this has been occurring on and off for over 2 weeks now is getting me worried.

Plus I promised Theresa I'd get it checked out if it continued. Also can't let her know because she's busy again with exams and I can't afford to be stressing her out with my health problems.

Also she won't have time to read my blog so no worries about her finding out from this.

And if she does see this post, this otter will distract her.

Alright, back to work. See you guys on Saturday.

  1. Although I bitch on about UK weather, normally we get away without having too much snow. Famous last words. Now we'll have 12 inches of it by tomorrow morning.

  2. Sorry to hear that the snow is so bad man and that you have a doctor's appointment coming up soon, I seriously hope that some kind of permanent fix is made for your health problems because they sound pretty unpleasant. That Canadian Prime Minister sounds like a bit of a dick too, anyone who thinks they can beat the internet surely are.

  3. 25 centimeters of snow? In one night? Wow, sure is Canada up there. ;D
    I wonder how public transport over here is going to get when winter kicks in.

  4. I was going to leave a comment but...otterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...I love otters. Though actually I hope the doctor does help, you could really do with it. I hope that Canadian cop chase is legit too.

  9. Stephen Harper sounds like the devil! And I can't believe you guys have so much snow so quickly... I know you're up there with the northern folk, but sheesh... it's that a little early, even for Canada?

    Hope you feel better soon! I've had a nagging throat ache for a couple days that I'm hoping will just go away without developing into something more annoying.

  14. Your leader is Burger King? Well, actually if he tried to censor the internet, probably Ronald McDonald would be a better leader for you.

  15. I don't remember what your post was about. I was distracted by the otter.

  16. You poor thing! I'm sending some positive thoughts your way. I hope everything works out for the best. I voted for Obama and am damned happy at the way the elections turned out. Censor the internet? What is this, North Korea? Yikes!

  17. About the Obama thing, it's kind of funny, because I've seen people who don't really care about politics in their own country rooting for Obama.

    I'm not familiar with his policies, but he certainly has a lot of supporters

  23. I like the way you are sure that Theresa won't find out what you're writing about. It sounds like you've known each other for ages!

  27. As a girl with asthma I need to say please take care of your lungs! Not being able to breathe is one of the scariest things in the world and you learn you will do anything to make that feel happen as little as possible.

  29. Always visit the doctor. Better safe than sorry man!

    Just had a buddy with stomach pain. He pounded some Pepto and ignored it.

    Now he's in the hospital dealing with Gall stones.
