So Tony Blair is still in power. Not quite a minority, but a much reduced majority all the same, losing ground to the Tories, from voters who wanted to keep him in office but punish him for Iraq. But it was also because, many felt, there wasn't a real choice amongst the parties, or out of fear of what a Tory government would mean. (This all seems a little too familiar.) Labour also ran perhaps one of the lamest campaign slogans ever: "If you value it, vote for it." Wasn't that the point of voting in the first place?

Also, Par, I'd seen something like this bus timer you'd described when I was last in Vancouver. There were LED displays in stops along major routes that showed when the next bus would arrive. So who knows, something like that might come here. But as long as we gotta get that LRT to the South End right now...

I have an interesting bus story from today (what? I can take the bus! I'm cheap, poor, and a long way from the UIUC campus!) I suppose I can tell it before I prep for my disastrous presentation tomorrow (prove me wrong, me!)

Anyway, I'm riding the bus, and I finally decide to ask about the LED sign at the front. See, the busses here are the same as Edmonton's low floor busses (I would later find out that they buy their busses from Canada, but that's beside the point.) This LED sign displays the intersection that the bus is currently passing through (up to this point, I was just enjoying the sign every time we passed the corner of Church & State.) So I ask the driver (who happens to have been to Edmonton on a regular basis, hence the later discovery that they buy the busses from Canada.)

It turns out that this tiny college town in the middle of Illinois uses GPS to track its busses. Apparently it's a pilot project. Moreover, they use the GPS at certain stops to display the time until the bus is projected to arrive (which, of course, is different than when it's scheduled to arrive.) Might we see this in Edmonton? Will I finally be able to sleep on the bus without spending five minutes after waking up to figure out where I am?

haha, same here man. Good luck to you as well.

First part of my plan (the fun plan not the one were I have to look for a job)is to complete the Grand Arms Taskforce. That means more Grand Arms unit then you can shake a stick at. It is kind of frightening, I lost count of how many Grand Arms units I have plans for. Well finish Shinobi first and then everything else will follow. As for looking for a job, keep on applying and some one will eventually hire me. Kind of scary no school for me to go back to! Only the bright but uncertain future! Good luck with your plan Tay! Can't wait to see what happens!

A year and a half ain't that bad. You gotta start somewhere and you'll only get better the more you do it. Next flash animation after that'll probably only take you like 8 months and then like 4 months until you can do an entire animation in like a week or two!!! It's exponential, just like MY plan! But you gotta start small. For me, I'm starting with cleaning my room. Can't get the next phases of my plan done with a dirty room, nosiree.

Well at least you have a plan. My only plan right now is get a job... But that cuts into Grand Arms time. A year and a half, sounds about the time I will finish my first Grand Arms flash animation. Yep I'm that slow.

Al, that's because it's an 8-year plan. The first phase of the plan started today with "clean my room". Which isn't really all that impressive, but you gotta start somewhere and it becomes exponentially more impressive with each new phase I complete. Gimme a year-and-a-half before results begin to reveal themselves.

Wow, why is it that when you have a question regarding the comp lit program you can't get a
response if your life depended on it, but if you have an idea about possible program options they
respond within minutes. You'd think they'd be more responsive when they were taking my tution
money, but I guess not.

Weirdos.

It's tomorrow... I don't see your dictatorship anywhere at all.

AHAHAHAAA!!! I finally found the fucking PLAAAANSS!!!! I'm taking over this world starting tomorrow and none of youse fucks is gonna hold me down. NONE OF YAS!!!! HAHAHAHAHA Seeya on the other side motherfuxxx!!!

noface=out.
