I got to see it!

The kid did a lovely thing...and I'm bemused by how easy it seemed to be. If only every protest/request could go that way!

Basically, he made a sign, got a petition of 100 signatures and his Great Granddad attended a council meeting. et voile! The library stays open...for a year, until a newer facility opens.

Still. Good on him for speaking up.

I've heard two pieces of very troubling news about two different friends in the last hour and I'm sitting here quietly freaking out, there's nothing I can do about either at the moment, and really, REALLY hoping this isn't one of those things coming in 3s situations!

Hee. From the article:

"The first lesson TV supergeniuses have drilled into audiences is that it's possible to acquire absolute mastery in multiple fields while still young enough to be attractive to the 18-35 demographic. A few of them are Australian enough to be attractive to every demographic."

Ugh, Lisah. I hope there is no third, and that things work out for your friends.

Ugh. I was just telling the receptionist that I haven't had any problems with my food making a reappearance for a few weeks now, and then I ate the Egg Beater omelet that the cafeteria made me. Or rather, I tried to eat it. Just got back from the bathroom, and I feel much better now. They use waaaay too much oil on the griddle and put waaaaay too much cheese on the omelet, and my stomach no likey.

I couldn't get past the picture of Pacey. There's an article?

Oh, Joshua Jackson. You, like fine wine and George Clooney, just get so much better with time.
