Moving Day

I happen to be moving houses tomorrow and I thought I'd just give a little heads up to anyone who still reads this crap-ass blog. It's nothing major in the way of relocation, we're only moving a couple of kilometres away, but still right within the city of London.

The thing that sucks is that I have to work tonight, which of course means I'll be at work until 3AM, minimum. Then I have to trek over to the new apartment and sleep there for the night, at which point I'll have to get up around 8AM to let the damned movers in.

It's going to be a rough, exhausting weekend; I've already decided that.

Am I Wrong?

Am I wrong, or does the government suck?

Recently in Canada, Parliment Hill chose not to lower the federal flags in memorium of the four Canadian soldiers that recently died in Afghanistan. They cited their reason as being that we have a day of Remembrance on Nov 11th every year, in remembrance of the end of WWI, and to honour all veterans who have died in the service of Canada. Good, I understand and wholly support Remembrance Day and I'm proud to have a day where we get to honour our veterans of past and present, however what the Government did was hold a vote to see whether they would lower the flags to half or not. The indecision made their answer seem like a slap in the face to the families of those recently deceased soldiers.

I believe that the Government should be unyielding in the upholding of the laws of state, it's the fact that they had the internal rumbling enough to have to hold the vote, like some the members of Parliament, don't know their own laws. Whenever our government is featured on the news, I'm almost embarrassed to be Canadian.

Shape up guys, or we'll ship you out.

Spending Money is Fun

So I got paid yesterday, and of course the first thing I did was head to the mall to cash the cheque and spend as much of it as humanly possible before work this evening. I picked up a couple of shirts, a pair of shorts, and some new Reeboks to replace the falling apartness of my old sneaks. I also picked up The DaVinci Code and Robert Sawyer's Hominids, along with some assorted school supplies.

Does anyone else find it odd that a Canadian based fast food chain called Harvey's just introduced a new sandwich called the Texan Burger. I guess it lets all the dumb Americans feel right at home when they come up here for a bite to eat. I don't know, there's really not a whole lot of substance to this post, I just felt like rambling a bit.

I've been getting some demands to post up some more Photoshop Tutorials, so if anyone else would like to see some more things of that nature, please let me know with a comment or an email. And let me know what you'd like to learn how to do in Photoshop, so I can get some ideas on what subjects to post tutorials on.
