Provincial election day today. I forgot my voter card but i have ID so that'll be ok. Poll station is convenient, on the way home from work. I'm going to vote, are you? I don't even care how you vote (well, yes i do but it's none of my business!) but make the effort! I overheard a young woman on the bus this morning saying she wasn't going to bother, it didn't mean anything to her. It does though. People don't realize how much that a government does that affects your daily life. Our bus fares are going up. One of the reasons is the higher cost of fuel, and aside from the world price of oil, one of the other reasons fuel is so high is the amount of taxes on it, taxes the government sets.
I haven't posted too much, not a lot to say really. We had a family birthday for my nephew on Sunday and this weekend there's a flat warming party for one of my cousins that i may go to and a graduation party for another relative. I don't know him really but it's a good reason go get together and see family that i don't see too often. A former coworker is visiting Halifax in a couple of weeks so there will be an after work drinks do to catch up with her for those of us that knew her when. She decamped to the balmy breezes of Florida and loves it there.
Season 2 of Ashes to Ashes finished last night in the UK. Yeah, talk about doing your head in! It makes you wonder whose reality is er... reality, doesn't it? I read a comment elsewhere that said that maybe the "past" is actually real and the "future" was the "dream" in both A2A and Life on Mars. It kind of makes sense in a strange way. Maybe Alex has been in the coma for the first two seasons and only thought she was from the future. She still could have read Sam Tyler's psych profile about "being from the future and traveling to the past" if he'd written it when he "returned" to the 70s. All the events of the past two seasons of Ashes could have been her memories of what led up to her coma and maybe she doesn't even have a daughter. I didn't know when i watched it that there would be a Season 3 but i read that article shortly after. I guess next year we'll find out what really happened.
