Cute and evil... who woulda thunk it?

I can't believe this exists. Hello Kitty meets H.P. Lovecraft.

Election 2004 and Weekend Report

I voted today and now I am just watching the results. It looks like a Liberal minority with the balance of power being held by the NDP. That is not too bad, I suppose.

The weekend was great! We had a big day out at Pike Lake yesterday, I am still pooped from it. A big group of us went out and had a big BBQ, played Frisbee and football, then went swimming. We topped off the night with another BBQ, smores, and singing songs around the campfire... mostly Irish drinking songs. It was just fun all around.

I have to say though, it was nice to just get back home and have a long hot shower to get the sunscreen, bug spray, and campfire smoke off of me. I was just about asleep before my head hit the pillow.

This week, I have a chapter to put a first draft of together, so my work is cut out for me.

Productive day

Geez, today I have had some pretty good concentration compared to days past. I felt like I made some decent progress on my Literature Survey. I think I am going to work some more tonight still... why stop when I am on a roll?

Music to write my thesis by today:

• U2 - The Joshua Tree
• Simon and Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
• Live - Throwing Copper
• Tori Amos - Crucify
• Tool - Opiate
• Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
• The Smiths - Best of... Vol. 1 & 2

Another silly little thing

Life is kinda funny

I remember a time where I was bringing my resume to my Dad for advice and guidance, and he always had sound advice. Then today my Dad phones me up to ask for some suggestions on changes he wants to make on his resume and I actually had intelligent advice to give a man with vast experience late in his career. Sometimes I sit back and wonder... when exactly did life change so much?

Une question...

Qui est W.H.?

Fun weekend :o)

Saturday was great. We went to the Matthew Good concert. It was fantastic. He has great stage energy. He even played almost all of my favourite songs. It was a great time. Even the opening band Wil was amazing.

Afterwards, we headed back to a house party that was already well underway. It was quite fun, but I knew it was time for me to leave when people started wearing tin foil on their heads. Too much fun for this little girl.

After such an eventful Saturday, it was nice to spend a quiet day at home on Sunday.

All work and no play makes Laura something something...

I have been locking myself in my apartment for the past week or so working pretty intensively on my thesis. It is going fairly well, and I am seeing progress being made on it, but I was getting a bit stir crazy last night, so I went to the gym. Now I haven't been to the gym since before the conference, so I am a wee bit slower than when I was going 2-3 times a week regularly. Well this morning I hurt everywhere, especially my bum and my upper arms.

I think I hurt so much I can't do any more thesis work... okay, even I don't believe that one. Back to work. I owe my supervisor a polished draft of this chapter Friday morning so I had better get back at it. But I am taking a night off on the weekend for my sanity.

Photos are finally up...

Alright, by popular demand, the photos from my trip are here.

Meet my new boyfriend, Bruno. Watch out ladies, this guy is a little flirt!

Kinda unnerving...

Apparently someone got into my car late last night and rummaged all through it. They were looking for stuff that was valuable, but there really wasn't much worth taking in my car. They left my factory tape deck and my rocking tape collection (how could they resist my "Toto's Greatest Hits" tape?!?!?), but they stole my tool box and jumper cables.

Luckily, one of my neighbours saw that my car was open and locked it up again and notified the landlord who called me this afternoon about it. Oh well, it could have been much worse, they could have hotwired the sucker and I could have been without a car at all.

Just in case you didn't already know this...

LOOK OUT! ïòð

Laura is a radioactive squirrel!!

Okay, that made me laugh out loud, so it had to go on my site.

I'm home!!

Yay!! Photos and such to come...

Last Day in Winnipeg

Greetings all! My trip is quickly coming to a close. Staying with Jasmine these past couple of days has been great. It is so relaxing and low key which is nice after the intensity of the conference. We have gone to Osbourne Village and did a bit of excessive shopping at Winners and Jysk (pronounced [yisk]). I also got a couple of pictures of the Louis Riel statue and the freshly-cleaned Golden Boy on the top of the Legislature building. Tonight we are going to the Forks, which should also be a blast as well as a great picture taking opportunity. Tomorrow morning I fly back to Toontown. I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and being back in Saskatoon.
