clothes, radio, americans and papers, oh my!

I went shopping today. I know, mark your calendars, because the next time might be in six months hehe. Anyway, I really needed some nice new tops for the cold season.

So. Today's shopping extravaganza with Amy:

• beige top with flowery edging and a sash (can't find a pic)
• 3/4 sleeve wrap
  
• book with the Hell's Kitchen host's favourite

Tops are hard to find because everything's made for skinny models, but much of what you'll find in the jeans section is low-cut and umm, hi, but a lot of us have actual butts. Like, meat on the cheeks, ya know? Tsk.
That's why I hate shopping for jeans... *lol*

It's so depressing *shakes head*

See, you guys elect everyone at once while we do federal, provincial and municipal ones separately, so there's less craziness at once.

Do you generally have low turnout for the provincial and municipal elections? I think that's the advantage of our system is that with the combination with federal elections there is generally higher turnout than state/local government would have on their own. The disadvantage ends up being long and complicated ballots that many don't pay much attention to outside of the big elections.

Well I think the advantage is that you, as the citizen, can pay more attention to what every candidate is saying/promising individually. Less confusion, as well. Shorter campaigns, too. They just announced today that there will be a provincial election next month, so that gives you an idea how long we spend on the political blah blah.

I don't know about the turnout, though. Let's see... *internets* the total turnout for the recent federal elections was 59%. And the last provincial's was 71% :)

That's interesting, actually, the provincial with the much higher turnout.

I know, I thought it'd be much less too *shrugs*
