Well, it's definitely not as much fun being the guy on the outside of the festival - in fact it seems my week will be full of envy, smattered with slight bitterness towards my job because it would have been an excellent week. But hey - what are you going to do...

In other news, I've coped well with the Rosaline, in fact, I've pretty much accepted that I'll have to wait until we meet up later in life after we've both recovered from divorces. That doesn't stop those moments, however fleeting they are at the time, from ringing loudly in my brain. There are just moments where you see so much of yourself reflected in someone that you can't get the idea that they are there for a reason out of your head.

I guess that's just the way it's going to be. On other subjects... Did anyone else hear about the Conservatives passing their budget COMPLETELY UNOPPOSED? That's right - the story is here: on the cbc website it is completely unacceptable. We elected these people to be in their seats, not in the lobby during votes that will have a PROFOUND effect on our country's future on the immediate future.

This is total bullshit and I really don't appreciate the fact that no media outlet seems to be giving this situation more attention - they are all just treating it like a funny little sidebar, when in reality, it is a scary look how our system can fail us because the people we elected are not really all that committed to their jobs. Thanks for slacking off elected officials. Thanks for dropping the ball opposition members. thanks for being a prick Mr. Speaker, and making our entire parliamentary system look retarded. Thanks government of Canada. Thanks.
