Yesterday, I started to write a post but someone came to my office and I got distracted. Oh well, I am often distracted so it was just another day. So, today, I am at the little Korean grocery store that I come to in order to check my email and I thought that I would pay the extra two dollars and write something. So here I am, listening to my ...Juliana's Tokyo Volume 8 remix and typing away. Too bad I cannot type and dance at the same time...

Today, I didn't ride my new bicycle the 20+ kilometres into town. But that not because I couldn't. After paying it off last Sunday, I spent about two hours riding it home. It wasn't so bad to tell the truth although about two-thirds the way through the ride, my butt was starting to hurt. The good news that there were no residual effects the following day. I am happy to have my new bicycle! And it was about time to get it as I will be participating in the annual Bike to Work Week. I think that my ride to my new office will be something like 10 -12 kilometres and it won't be so bad. I will keep you updated on this...

If you haven't already heard, we will be having the 38th General Election in which we will vote on who will govern the country. Due to the election, we have been bombarded with campaign news while all of the leaders spout off what they plan to do for the people of Canada. The highest profile parties are the current governing party the Liberals, the Conservative Party and the NDP.

These three parties' leaders will participate in the national televised debate yet it will not allow all parties to be involved So, parties like the Green Party of Canada, which has candidates in all ridings have not yet been asked to join in. There is an online petition, to try to rectify this situation. I don't know if it is limited to Canadian citizens but if it isn't, please send this to all of the Canadians you know. (I have already signed it). As well, for those of you interested, take a look as some of the other parties that are on ballots here. Funny, I didn't know that we had a Marxist-Leninist Party here.

And as a final note, it appears that years after the closing of Juliana's Tokyo, disco is alive and possibly well in Japan.
