Ottawa

Im still not convinced Ottawa is part of Canada.

I've been here for little over 3 months, I've yet to like going outside.  It's either a hell-hole of heat, or a pit of rain.  Now you may think I'm exagerating, saying, " I was in Ottawa, it was beautiful!" I call bull shit on you. Wherever you were before must have been miserable.  I'm East Coast born and bred, Ive seen shit weather all my life, but nothing compared to Ottawa. 

An example of the riduculousness: check the weather yesturday, the weather network calls for suns across the board. check the weather 12 hrs later, 3/6 days are raining. 

I was informed thursday last week that this was a weird September, its usually really nice in September here. To be honest, I dont remember September, I looked at the calendar and was shocked to see October.

On a happy note

Cheers!

Elections

Just want to say YAY! No more Liberals! Shawn Graham wasn't exactly the pride of the Graham clan to say the least.

At least he failed on the attempt to sell us out to the french. Its not every day your gov't official wants to screw your province over for money... Hmm wait a second! It is!


hehe something funny I found... good ol' Quebec Hydro... good thing that fell through, We'd be as screwed as NFLD... :S

Sorry for lack of coherent though.. I just wanted to comment on the fact libs are out! and PC back in their rightful place, theres a reason canada still exists, and it sure as hell wasnt the liberals.

Bookshelves

Have you ever really given thought to bookshelves/cases?  I never, until I came to the realization that I need one.. and a big one at that.  My bookshelf need is on of the floor to ceiling variety, but as luck has it, they dont come, shall we say, "pretty" "decorative" "stylish" and spacious.  Along my stumbles however, I've come across quite a few...lets call them "artcases"  practical use as a shelf, but main priority as a feature object for a room (seen to right is one such example). 

My favourite is featured on the bottom left as a staircase.  Im not sure how this could every be incorporated into my house, not sure if it could even survive my house, but I'd sure love to try.
