mousmeIt's Election Day in Canada. Canadians, go vote! With any luck, it won't turn out to be a giant pile of suck.
At worst, we'll just have another election in eighteen months. Canada isn't very good with coalition governments, it would seem.
Weekend was quiet. Very quiet. Band practice went well, although we missed our saxophone player, who was waylaid by the inadequacy of our city's snow-removal equipment and the general incompetency of policy-makers who decide when the roads get de-iced.
Went home Saturday afternoon, wrote a post for Bluebook, and then the plan was to have dinner with my parents after doing a bit of cleaning. Instead what happened was a little "nap" that lasted all night. Whoops. Guess I needed the sleep.
Was up at 8am on Sunday and bopped over to my parents' place for breakfast. Only I missed my father by a few minutes, since he was off to South America for the week. Whoops again. I've given up on keeping track of all his trips. So I had breakfast with my mother, and then succumbed to inertia and stayed with her all day.

joane, and watched television, partly with my mother and partly without. Rediscovered Earth 2 re-running on Space. Forgot how good that show was. Watched a re-run of The Dead Zone, which I'd already seen three times before due to that weird law that says that whenever you catch a show you only see rarely, they're always showing the same episode. Luckily it was a good episode, so I didn't mind watching it again.
Brand-new episode of Smallville, which it takes a lot of guts to admit I watch. ;) It's sadly not getting much better with time, but it's holding its own. Mostly I watch it for Clark Kent's very very blue eyes. It ought to be illegal for people to have eyes that beautiful. Ahem.
Turned my mother onto Cold Case Files. Neither one of us are likely to become devoted to the show, but it's nice to watch it every now and then. If I had cable at home, I'd probably watch NCIS more regularly, too.
Did a little bit of writing, too. Not nearly as much as I had planned, but my plans were mostly thwarted by the "nap" on Saturday. I got my first instalment of Conflation finished, and worked a fair bit on the play for Capricornucopia. Unfortunately, the play still needs a lot of work. I'm meeting up with my fellow conspirators tonight, and we shall see what we can do about it.
I'm taking heart from the fact that t! was able to write three plays in less than 48 hours for the last Tarasmas. Since we're several people collaborating on the same project, it's taking a bit longer to coordinate, but I suspect it will be done in good time. Then there will be organising of minor but necessary props, food, drink, and so forth.
