I have not been posting lately as a silent protest against my landlord. It is starting to get cooler, which is a natural phenomenon when fall and winter approach, and the heat in my apartment needs to be turned on. Well, the heat is now on and it appears that my act of defiance has paid off. The radiators are now radiating heat. This is good news.
What is also good is my new pants. They fit nice. The company makes even the odd sizes and not just the even sizes. A 32 inch pant-leg is too long and a 30 is too short. So I went with the 31. Just wonderful. The cuffed hem is nice and di I mention that they fit beautifully? The material is soft and warm. Just perfect.
Rita has hit the US now.
“It looks like the Houston and Galveston area has really lucked out,” said Max Mayfield, director of the hurricane centre.
That is what CBC reported even though they have no real reporters right now because they are on strike and are locked out. (More on that in a bit) What I am wondering though is: WHY is there a “hurricane center”? What do people in the hurricane center do? Do they make hurricanes and, if so, why did they make such a terrible one? I mean, come on, this hurricane totally missed Houston and has seemed to almost ignore Galveston. Were they partying too much after the huge success of Katrina? It seems the US can’t do anything right.
But sometimes Canadians botch things too. The CBC had a good thing going and now it looks like it is going to die. 5500 personel are locked out from their jobs and I can’t get any good news and all my late night radio music has turned to Pop-sounding shit. It is nearing a month and a half and I am getting pissed off at the CBC management. This sort of shit is not supposed to happen in Canada. The CBC is a gem but now the scabs are ruining the show leaving me with nothing. To the locked-out employees I say “You go girl, let me hear you roar.”
Oh well. At least my pants are comfortable. I love these pants.
