Well, maybe not right away but it's looking like a good plan. I recently saw a show about the weather station at Eureka, Nunavut. Aside from all the great opportunities to wear my parka, I started to think about how six months up north might be a healthy option.

Evil Scientist frequently accuses me of playing dirty during arguments. In a conversation with a group of co-workers several weeks ago I was accused of the same thing when I was listening to a story about an argument and I mentioned how I would have handled it. I've been thinking about it ever since.

I'm left wing but not as flaky as I could be.

In case you're wondering, I've been sick at home the last few days with a nasty stomach bug. That's why I've had time to read, watch TV and catch up on my blogging. Anyway, in between trips to the washroom I've been reading a book about depression.

I usually don't get into new TV series. Shift work makes it difficult to keep up with one's TV schedule. When I get hooked on a show it's usually syndicated on one of the speciality channels and then I pick up a bunch of seasons on DVD. House MD was the exception. Because Hugh Laurie was the star, I made an effort to watch the pilot and have been hooked ever since.

Like most people who choose to live in the real world and not look on “the bright side of things” I often get called a pessimist. I prefer the term realist. In case you're interested, realists also get called bitter, cynical and jaded.

Well, let's hope 2009 isn't any worse than 2008. I'm not really optimistic enough to hope that it will be any better.

I recently read the novel Revolutionary Road. It is about to be released as a film and I have a small obsession about reading a book before I see a “based on” flick. For those of you who know me the reason I want to see this film should be painfully obvious.

I have nothing creative of my own to write. Probably because all I do of late is work, exercise and sleep. So instead I'll post the lyrics to Kathleen Edwards' new song because I like them.

This is a kind of xmas song but I usually start listening to it at this time of year when I know there's a long and miserable winter ahead.
