I have a medium serious head cold. Swelling, sore, liquid filled sinus action.
I have big plans to write long scathing critiques about the provinces cultural investment problems, and also the lack of maintainance money for existing buildings, but I can barely bring myself do any work above clicking between daytime television shows. Maybe later.
In other news, if you are a nerd on wikipedia, check out the Nova Scotia project. It is just starting up, and promises to be a nerdy good time.
So you are registered on Last.fm. You go to check the recommendations to see what you should ask for for Xmas. You make the mistake of listening to the Lowest of the Low first record, for old times sake, the week before. One listen! And all of a sudden Last.fm is telling you to go listen to the Tragically Hip. OMFG.
Yech. So the other 400 tracks of NOT Canadian Classic Alternative that I listened to that week seem to be completely overshadowed by the Lowest of the Low.
I realise more and more I need to fill my life with projects or risk bordom. I read a phrase the other day “If you want something to get done quickly, give it to a busy person.” I am at the opposite end of that right now, I need one or two big projects to come along to get me back to being busy, so that I return to being efficient and on top of things.
Thus, I am going to pack up the back room of the apartment, remove the wallpanels, and insulate. Take that, inertia! Throw that on top of the rest of my to do list and I will be nicely busy.
I want to buy a cottage/country house. I have been talking to friends and family about this for years. There is a perfect house for sale in Clam Bay right now for $69K. I of course am optimistically 1.5-2 years away from being able to buy anything, so that, that is frustrating.
I have a mental image of being snowed in, with the power and internet still on, watching the waves pound the beach, talking to people one the phone while sipping tea, while they work away under the flickering lights at their crappy downtown office. This, this is a good goal.
Bah. On a Mac, it is fast. But it is still not Acid Test 2.0 compliant.
Not that I know if that is relevant, as maybe the guys who wrote the Acid Test work for Apple.
