Less lurid than that may sound, I’m merely making mention that I have completed my most current journal book. Ever since I started keeping a journal, I’ve given them titles. The latest was titled “Laurie’s Pussy,” subtitled “A Hardcore Collection of Various and Sundry Thoughts.”
I filled “Laurie’s Pussy” today!!

Let the dilution begin!
A dear friend with dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship was waxing political about this year’s edition of the Dog-and-Pony Show (or donkey and elephant show) known as the U.S. Presidential Election.
The actual election takes place in November, but for some reason that escapes me, and probably escapes most Americans, too, the PRE-election process takes up most of the year. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the Old Days when candidates had to campaign across all the states by horse-and-buggy. I’m pretty sure that the process is as outdated in this modern, electronic age as the horse-and-buggy itself! But who am I to try to shed the glimmer of common sense and revolution on the world?!
As it happens, we’re going to have our own little election up here in Canada. But it seems we’re a little more modern: the election was announced in September (2008) with actual voting to take place in October (2008)!
So it begs the question: WHO would you vote for in the upcoming Canadian federal erection, were you to do so?
Conservative? I’m so tired of President Harper, aka Shrub (he’s like a little Bush!)
Liberal? I can’t stand Celine Dion!
New Democrat? I’ve been told by a long-time NDPer who lives in Jerk Layton’s riding that Layton is a pompous ass. ‘Nuff said.
Green? They currently have one seat in Parliament (thanks to a near-last minute floor crossing), but I don’t think they actually have Official Party Status yet.
For me, Green is the obvious choice. Unfortunately, they are still too new and too misunderstood by the general populace. This means the anti-status-quo (i.e. anti-Conservative) votes will be so diluted that we’re going to end up with a Conservative minority, or a slim majority Conservative government.
The choices are so many and yet so few!
Do you ever get that feeling?
“Well, for some time now I’ve lived everyday with the thought that I’ve completely fucked up my life…”

“And of course that answer is, Breaking Down in America.”

This moment of T.M.I. has been brought to you through the courtesy of Adalat and hydrochlorothiazide.
What next?
Here is finance.sympatico.msn.ca’s list of 12 new necessities that drain your cash:
So I’ve bolded the ones that I consider necessities for me, and italicized the ones where an explanation or rationalization would make things clearer.
- Bottled Water
(B-R-C just bought a case of this stuff… don’t ask me why, though I suspect it will be to take to her yoga classes. I don’t know why she doesn’t just use the sports bottle from her bike.) - Second Car
- Private School
- Childhood Parties
- Pet Grooming / Walking>
(Karma is a Springer Spaniel, and her beautifully soft long fur sometimes gets matted. What we really need is to learn to groom her ourselves, not to mention that it would be more fun for all of us that way.) - Daily Latte
(First of all, I don’t do coffee. Not at all. But once in a while, not daily, I enjoy a Chai Latte. It’s a treat.) - Cable TV
(Most of the programs I watch are not on Basic Cable. If I were truly strapped for cash I could live without it.) - Manicure / Pedicure
- Botox
- Cellphone
(Yes, this has become a minor necessity for B-R-C and I, especially because we don’t have a second car. A pair of cell phones are a lot cheaper than a car, AND we have the plan where we can call each other for free!) - Lawn Service
(We used a WEED service for a while, but don’t use them anymore, even though they keep calling me and calling me and…) - Clothes

In the beginning…
I don’t know if I believe in “Creation” or “Evolution” or some combination thereof (“Creative Evolution”? “Evolutionary Creationism”?), but this site is cool.
