Global warming? You should visit Ottawa today!

While I do believe that global warming is an issue that concerns all humans on this planet because statistics show that it is happening, this fall/winter in Ottawa tells a different story.

For a month straight, we have had some pretty serious weather come through here and after the past 3 days with temperatures down to -15 like they used to be way back when before anybody gave any thought to climate change, it would make even the staunchest kyoto-friendly people like myself experience shivers of doubt about climate change. Heh!

About a year ago, an older gentleman jokingly said that he thought global warming was a joke that the world was playing on us damn Canucks to keep us living in some of the coldest parts of the world waiting for the day that things will get warmer.

Trying to shovel the driveway to create a way for me to get my car out of the mess this morning got me thinking about that conversation again. :)

now the real challenge shall be getting back home after the salted roads have had the chance to freeze over! yaay! :(

blackberry pearl

So... I got one last weekend!

After months - probably years - of lusting after every single blackberry pearl out there, I finally convinced the "powers that be" that I should get one for myself because it shall be good for my already extremely connected life. Truth be told, I was sotra arm-twisted (some willingness on my part) by the pushy cute asian sales lady that the "powers that be" absolutely hated... heh!

Now I await my first phone call in a public place or email in a public place that shall allow me to floss my new toy. Of course it's nothing like the iPhone, but then again, we in the great white North (and it is unbelievably white today) are going to be waiting a LOOOONG time for that Jesus phone.

Off to show make my boss jealous!
