And who knows where you’ll end up.

Last night, at a Forum leaders’ orientation meeting, we played MASH. Yes, MASH. The same MASH of Grade 2 fame. There were some interesting results for the five of us, and most of them were highly improbable. So, too, was it with my results: Mansion, 2 kids, CEO, and married to a friend of mine. Of those, I can only see one of the things being true: the 2 kids. But even that is up in the air.

A few years back, I could have said that the mansion and CEO thing could have been realistic, too. I guess it goes to show you (and me) how much and how quickly things can change. But I also suppose that you don’t need me to tell you that.

But it’s always nice to have life go in for a spin cycle… it comes out cleaner on the other side.

I refrained from making any posts about the election until it was over; while it is sometimes good to have my opinions valued and whatnot, I felt that the decision to vote should be made independently. So I didn’t want to rattle anyone else’s cage.

It seems that Canadians have elected another minority government, but the new prime minister is about as charismatic as a dead sloth. (A live sloth isn’t particularly charismatic, either… death is just insult to injury, I guess.) If Peter MacKay was the leader, I think my opinion of a Conservative government would be radically different.

Overall, I guess I’m pretty happy with the results. The Conservatives do have a pretty solid platform, but they won’t have complete control of parliament to do whatever they want. That said, an alliance with the Bloc would ensure that they get a lot of what they want. (I think it’s in the Bloc’s best interest to keep the government afloat as long as possible; their levels of support have already declined and probably won’t be this high for a while.) So there is some degree of stability in the government, despite it being a minority.

Economically, I am looking forward to the GST cut. While a majority government would have likely strengthened our dollar, I think that we will be in fairly good shape after it’s all said and done. I just hope that the Conservatives will run a balanced budget and agree to commit more of the GDP to foreign aid.

Gosh, I wish it was MacKay.

This guy in the lab smells like a colony of dung beetles died in his armpits and rotted. And he keeps walking back and forth and back and forth and…

Gosh, I can’t wait to get my freaking laptop.
