I am writing this surrounded by boxes, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, the acoustics are strange and I’m not entirely sure where my shoes are.

Other than that the move went as well as a move can. There were no unusual mechanical failures, no disappearing possessions, no strange events. It was a little “hot”, no scratch that….it was AMAZINGLY hot, and thankfully the movers took one for the team shuffling 2 computers, a few hundred hardcover books, 300 DVDs, a couch, desk, bed, crib, dryer and assorted other belongings from one inaccessible apartment to another.

It’ll be a few days before we’re settled in properly, the highest priority here at our new west facing apartment was preventing unwanted intrusion by the sun, and a shameful amount of effort has been expended connecting air conditioners, hanging blinds and trying to keep the temperature in here at a “human” level.

Note: I swear, if one of you Vancouver types pops off about the weather I WILL drive across the country and inflict my wrath upon you (As this mainly consists of sitting on your couch, eating your food and generally making a nuisance of myself, I strongly recommend you think twice about it).

Anyway, we’re almost back to business as usual, although I was going through internet withdrawl…go figure.

The move continues to hover on the edge of our schedule. After getting braced to move this Friday (EEK! Land of the Dead scheduling conflict!) we discovered the new apartment won’t be ready on schedule, and all the arrangements were rolled back a few days (we’re now moving on Monday).

Boxes continue to be filled, chaos reigns..I just want this to be over.

My first fathers day as a “father”.

I’ll spare you the reflections on the past and the future, suffice to say;

Thanks Dad!

How I missed this I’ll never know…

Belinda Stronach, you remember her right? Of course you do, has penned a small piece explaining her defection to the Liberals. It’s a story of corruption, sex, greed and ambition….No, not really.

It’s really a pedestrian PR effort to explain why her defection, and sudden ministerial appointment (no connection naturally, what with her vast political experience) is good for Canada, is in the best interests of her constituents, and was perfectly natural under the circumstances.

Well thank goodness for that, and here I thought she was an oportunistic brat looking for a quick appointment. Boy is my face red.

Some highlights…

I have been called many things over the past weeks, some of them not very pleasant or mature.

No mention here of “accuracy” you’ll note….

When smart-minded Canadian voters chose a minority government in June of 2004, they were sending a message – get to the work of governing in a way that puts the interests of the country first.

Ah…was that the message? And here I thought it meant that there was no clear mandate from the voters.

My principles have led me to the belief that we need to restore trust and integrity to politics and public life.

You’re kidding me right? Belinda why don’t you just……………never mind.

This weeks Carnival of Cordite is up at Technogypsy. It’s something I usually enjoy reading, although I only manage to keep up to date on it’s location through some of the gunbloggers I read regularly.

I enjoyed this weeks mainly because my Frankengarand made this issue, but it pales in comparison to the other features (my favorite being Team Infidels test of the ballistic protection offered by the desktop PC).

Give it a read, then go buy a gun…..you know you want to.
