A Myriad

First off, I know I said that this blog wasn't going to get all political on your ass, but I have to throw this out there. Have you guys heard about the latest Sask-scandal? Brad Wall (our Premier) and Tom Lukiwski (Tory MP) star in the latest video release from the Saskatchewan government. The 16 year old tape features the two of them making all kinds of juicy derogatory comments about women and homosexuals. Oh, and they threw in a few racial slurs for good measure. The blockbuster was found by the Saskatchewan NDP when they moved into the opposition offices in the fall of '07.

The event was quite clearly filmed in a campaign office during the 1991 provincial election.

Lukiwski has apologized for the comments he made on the tape. Whether his apology is sincere is up for debate (as is whether it will make a difference in his punishment). Wall, on the other hand, simply claims that he has no recollection of that tape ever having been made. This, despite him STARING into the camera.

I'm amused. It's a terrible thing, and the NDP is also sort of at fault for giving the tape to the media, but when this kind of ignorance/intolerance/stupidity is highlighted, it makes me giggle. Way to represent Saskatchewan, boys. Way to represent.

Moving on, I shall talk NHL. I cried a little bit on Tuesday night.

Well not really, but I gave myself a sore throat with all the screaming I did. (I'm an Edmonton Oilers fan. The Calgary Flames knocked them out of the playoff race on Tuesday). Now? I'm cheering for the Washington Capitals. Why? Well because they're the semi-underdog in the East. Also, who would EVER expect the friggin Washington Capitals to win the Stanley Cup?

That's right. No one.

I'm back in publishing. April 1 was my first day back at my old job as a marketing assistant, and I'm remembering why I loved it so much already. The people I work with are absolutely wonderful, I care deeply about what I do, and I'm actually GOOD at it. Never mind that I spent three hours ripping my hair out yesterday while trying to fix the website. I figured it out eventually. And it was the best feeling ever.

Also, today, my third day back, we all went for lunch. For two and a half hours. And there was beer. Who WOULDN'T love my job? Hmm?

My application for my new apartment was approved today. I move May 1. I guess I'd better start packing. I'm very very excited about this. I've never lived on my own before. Hopefully I'm good at it.

ANYWAY. I have nothing left to write about. Next time, I'll try to be more creative. Right now, all I can think about is pizza. I'm going to go eat some now.
