Sunday Grab Bag

· Finally got myself dug out of the mess I stupidly put myself in yesterday. Let’s just leave it at this: don’t empty the trash on your computer if you’re not 100% positive you want to empty it… two days of work gone like <snap> that. Yee gods.

· It’s a wet, breezy day today in Louis Riel’s world. The tress outside my home office window are swaying hypnotically in the wind like the hips of a dashboard Elvis. The rain and greyness reminds me of Vancouver.

· Took Raj and Emma to the vets yesterday. Emma doesn’t like the cat carrier one bit. My scarred arms are a testament to her protestations. Hope I don’t get cat scratch fever. I have enough Ted Nugent in my life as it is.

· Soccer just isn’t the same when you’re not surrounded by rabid soccer fans. When Renée and I lived in Toronto, we lived both in Little Portugal and in Little Italy, where soccer is a religion. Here in Winnipeg it’s just another international sporting event.

· Mac OS X + the Internet + Mozilla 1.0 + gloriously anti-aliased text = surfing bliss.

You mean "The World Cup isn't the same if Holland isn't participating". I'm cheering Japan, but it's not the same as cheering for your native country. sigh

Adriaan, people must be going nuts over there for soccer - especially with Japan beating Russia.. sounds like a blast!

Nah, not yet that nuts. The team got all the attention, of course, now, but I've seen crazier scenes back in Holland. But the tournement is far from over yet, so more to come!
