What I've been looking at on the web lately

Found Magazine - this one is my favourite.



One of my co-workers had a shirt made out of it. I will be too. More disturbing is that someone posted a link in the comments section to a picture of it tattooed to someone's leg, in full size.

We the Robots - Today's comic



It is Indexed - the one I was sent by Sabina.



This one sums up my attitude in general.

CRAPCRAPCRAP!!!

The Conservatives won ANOTHER minority government! Unions all over the country pushed an 'ABC' (Anything But Conservative) standard of voting, which, to my mind, just managed to split the vote, and lots of NDP candidates didn't win seats. Overall, the NDP won more seats than the last election, but I think they might have more, had there not been the ABC philosophy.

Let's see how long this lasts. Another election NEXT year?

TTFN,

GET OUT THERE AND VOTE! ...

...or else you don't get to bitch about what the government does!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Mt. St. Helen's and Seattle

Maria and I came back from our trip to Mt. St. Helen's and Seattle this past Thursday.

I met Maria on Sunday afternoon in Seattle's airport. We picked up our rental car and drove down to the Nob Hill Bed and Breakfast in St. Helen, Oregon. We stayed in the French suite, and had a scrumptious breakfast with all organic foods. Yummy! They had this liquid body wash that foamed. I bought a lavender bottle.

We then went up to Mt. St. Helen's. We'd been viewing the Volcanocam for years, but the pictures didn't do it justice. There are still areas where, almost 30 years later, the forest hasn't grown back, and you can see the burnt trees that have been blown over by the force of the blast.

We then went to Seattle, and visited the Space Needle, and did some shopping at the Pike Place Market, which is celebrating its 100th year.

Pics from the trip are here.

In other news, the Faculty settled their strike with University. Classes began yesterday, just in time for me to come back from vacation, shockingly.

TTFN,
