Megan, ouch! That sounds really tough. Good luck with the eulogy. How long will you be in Calgary?
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hey, Guys!
It's good to have you back.

Hey there. I'm in Calgary until Sunday morning and then I fly to Toronto and am there until Wednesday. I was awake this morning at 3:30am Calgary time (6:30 atlantic) so I finished my book (Oryx and Crake) had a shower and asked to use the computer here. Breakfast isn't for another hour and then I have a full day of meetings. Luckily tonight there is a theme party that I didn't sign up to attend (it was $50!) so hopefully it will be a nice relaxing evening.
Last night's "dinner" was just finger food so I'm STARVING to death. Could I complain any more?

Did everyone watch Angel last night? My TV in my hotel room doesn't get Space. Stupid hotel!

Still no cable for me, and Eastlink had no clue when it would be back.

Add that to the ever growing list of things Eastlink doesn't have a clue about...
Incidentally, if anyone want's too see pictures of Juan Treebane's handiwork, there's a honkin' load of them here.

We were speculating at work that some people might switch back to MT&T (or whatever it's called now) because of the inconvenience of not having a phone during the power outage. What kind of dumbass connects their phone service to the power grid?

I figure pretty much any kind of dumbass could stumble over that one. That said, I kind of wish I had those dumbasses up here, since Sprint keeps telling us 'Don't leave your home tomorrow, we're coming' and than not showing. 4 times now. And Bell overcharges and later says 'No, we could not possibly have done that because it's illegal, so it didn't happen'. BAH!

Oh those pictures made me want to cry!
Halifax! My poor, sweet, Halifax!
The pictures of Barrington St. especially killed me. And the sunken boat with the Mar II in the background-- how AWFUL.

The thing that 's killing me is point pleasant park. Thoug there are a lot of trees down elsewhere there are still trees. in PPP, they're estinating that 60-75% are gone.
ETA forget it - it's working fine now.
