hate this part

well, toronto moved from uncomfortable cold to disgusting slush. my pants and shoes are covered in salt stains, the streets are dirty and wet and the people notable unhappy. i am so not liking this place. as i have said to many a recruiter " i would rather be poor in the west than rich in the east". i will take the rain over this any day. cant wait to get back to my turf.

two things

the obama gig
as canadians do we line up for hours in the cold, in the millions to watch a prime minister walked down the red carpet and pledge to meet his job description? crazy...and really, why did he not give the money that was spent to host all those balls he and his missus attended to a needy cause? symbolic leadership my friends is not high on his list

2009 outlook

yup now i have seen it all...get your dog horoscope here now...horoscopes.astrology.com/dailydogscopetaurus.html

elliott louis gallery

had a great eveneing with dh, went the elliott louis galley for an opening. was honoured to see her work up close. the energy in the room was very cool even when there a small pollitical outburst on the gaza situation.

it was grand to be surrounded by the artists and their supportors. am so enjoying this new adventure- so much to learn about art.
first pic is my fav dh painting and the next one is david grieve.

roids

pre mri drugs, to get my sniffer back

so the doc says, one week before xmas...
heres the prednisone..
ok
it has side effects
ok
not good ones
ok
moody, irritable,emotional, bad sleep pattens, upsets your eating routines, may cause blurred vision
ok; can i take it after xmas?

so, here i am day two...rough night, weird dreams - explosions, fires,running scared,trapped...
today , stressed, agitated..want to kill someone while crying through the whole event...had halos around my sight...lost pure focus for 2.5 hours!

christ now i get how those 'roid monkeys commit crimes..it is running through my blood stream and i feel it. not a good place to be- especially in HR. lol..now whos ass should i can today?

when are humans, not

watched a great program on embryo cryo-preservation - or as i call'em, spermsicles!
the debate being...again who has more rights..the "human" or the people who created said "human"

there is christian group in the US running a program called the snowflakes embyro adoption program where you may take a spermcicle leftover from parents who wanted to conceive(and have leaving other spermcicles unwanted), and grow that embryo as your own.

"When a family has been successful
in having a child through in vitro
fertilization, remaining embryos are
often cryo-preserved. This results
in question are what to do with the
remaining embryos."
http://www.nightlight.org/programs_SnowflakeEmbryoAdoption.html

facinating..really...because many people who created yet not utilised said "humans" are not comfortable knowing that they have off spring in the world they either dont know or even worse, have not authorised the existence thereof.

science creates conflict with its gifts.

un- inspiration point

had a funny conversation with dh today walking towards the watermark cafe in kits.we were talking about how the beach area is known as a make out place, "inspiration point" as we have all known of it

so i say, well where is the un-inspiration point?
wouldn't break ups be a hell of a lot easier if you say drove to place where uninspired things were known to occur?
...i mean, actually then you could save the drive and just say out loud " i think we need to go to ______ " and then the other person would know it was over!

jesus. i am on to this thought. will post some ideas soon.

matt nathanson

i have a few of his cuts but this one is complimets of jp-
thx ..its a gooder

lost your shirt in the credit crunch? buy plain white

watching the noon hours news, they aired a piece on a trend thay say is driven by the credit crunch...the return to the plain white shirt. and just when you thought this was a better way to go as most men are challenged when it comes to fashion...voila! more choices than ever... thomas pink of london has a " white shirt bar". a nice beaded fitted one costs a mere L250 , while a simple version at L75. see gq.com

they actually tried to make a correlation between being less flashy due to the credit crunch and as a financial advisor; people see men who wear basic white as more trustworthy .

2009

as we enter the next year i love to look for a glance into the future. the greatest thing about the internet is that you can search and find exactly the opinion, attitude, proof or disproof on any subject. so this morning i went in search of my 2009 destiny...i like these two the best.

TAURUS
Ruling Planet: Venus
Symbol: The Bull
Element: Earth
Color: Blue, pink

In 2009 ambitious Jupiter will move into your work and career sector, expanding your professional and personal horizons. This planetary transit is an agent for achievement, advancement and professional recognition. However, disciplined, no-joking Saturn is laying down the ground rules and will demand hard work and focused determination. The combined energy of these two power planets will gently nudge (or force) you into a new lifestyle, career or relationship. Your reward? Stability, new horizons and growth.

The year begins on a chaotic note and life may seem like a traveling circus with you trying to juggle everyone's changing moods and your own work load. Your organization skills will be one of your tools for success, and when your ruler savvy Venus starts to kick down doors in June, you will be ready to step through.

Because the Bull is endowed with style and substance, a true heart and trustworthy soul, this year stay true to your nature and friends will line up seeking your wisdom, company and sage advice. You are a demanding perfectionist with the soul of a mystic. This year your mantra should be: Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible.

2009 Taurus Love Match: Because demanding Saturn is directing the show in your relationship sector until October, this is a serious year for love. In a secure, committed relationship, you can reach a deeper bond through communication and thoughtfulness but do expect Saturn to bring up any weakness or flaws which, once recognized, can be overcome or repaired.

If you are single this year, a Virgo or Scorpio could share your serious mood or a fiery Leo or Aries could awaken your passions. But until September, watch out for a few irrational planetary surges. Otherwise, you could mistake a new infatuation for true love or vice versa. This year, give yourself time to test the mettle of yours and another's devotion.
