update
Have added more to the “Artwork” gallery :)
comparison to coffee
Love Obama. Am normally not into politics, but he somewhat inspired me to pay attention. Too bad the uncalled-for election last October in Canada sparked none of the interest of America’s election. Was so busy at work that I couldn’t watch the inauguration speech and festivities, although I caught snippets of it at colleagues’ offices as I walked by. Heard that the building had the 2nd floor open with the inauguration streaming live - this is just how important Obama’s win is, even to us Canadians. My officemate says that not since Kennedy has she seen so much excitement about the next President.
Find it interesting that Obama is always referred to as the first black President. He IS half-white on his mother’s side, raised by his white grandparents… so really, his upbringing is owed to the white half. I consider him more as… “latte”. Regardless, am excited and hopeful about the future. Reign of the Bushes is finally over… for now, at least.
Anyway, Happy Inauguration Day :)
today’s observations
Observation #1: Road rage is amplified on Monday mornings. Clear example being the Park & Ride lot at Dalhousie train station this morning around 6.25 a.m. Got there a tad too late - 6.20 a.m. is usually the absolute latest to get there to secure a spot. Obviously angry and road ragey guy in giant pick-up truck trying to get out parking lot, so we reverse to let him through. Obviously not fast enough. See him make hand gestures and mouth obscenities. Funny that we managed to snab the last parking spot available because we drive a Honda Civic. Methinks, “buddy, if you want to be able to snab parking spots, then stop driving a bloody pick-up truck.”
Observation #2: Fashion sense of Japanese girls freaks me out. But still not as much as the fashion sense of Japanese girls living in Japan. The prostitute look is obviously “in” right now. Never mind that it’s the dead of winter.
Observation #3: Soy lattes are yum. Must have more of those.
