Oh the places you'll go
With the election over, so ends my "busy" journalist career. No more school board, no more candidate debate and no more "welcome to the gayest election night in Winnipeg history." I don't know what I will do with all the extra sleep. All told I really did enjoy everything we had to go to. Kaj's post election party was quite fun, the school board wasn't that bad and I really enjoyed the candidate debate in the Daniel Mac ward. Seeing first hand what a tool Trudy Turner really is makes me even less sad that a)I didn't get the job way back when with the West End biz and b)she didn't get elected.
I realize I am not alone in this, but I just really hate the way things turned out. People are stupid. So maddeningly stupid. I guess I can take small comfort that I and those close to me didn't just go along with things; we tried, and there's no harm in that.
Things lately have been good. School is good. I am constantly amazed at the lack of depth some people have, and how these people are the "norm," but that's nothing new. A class is a funny thing. It is like this strange microcosm of a society, and to watch the daily power shifts and struggles provides me with entertainment and frustration. It's all quite white bread.
Enjoying spending time with the coolest person I know. It is really quite magnificent.
Missing Karen, but enjoying talking for hours on the phone and getting emails with so much substance it almost makes up for her not being here.
