Thats right...
I know... as unbelievable as it is, it is still true, and no amount of crying or praying or crawling into a bottle or stepping infront of oncoming traffic will make it less true;

Holy shit.... Lady In The Water was SUCH a Bad Movie!!!! I really didnt think it would be sooo Bad!!! I mean fuck.. it spelt convoluted in bile across the screen, all while trying sooo hard to be earnest and imaginative.
I mean I was warned, very fairly before deciding on this night of wasted nights to embark into "a bedtime story for a new generation" (or some drivel). But no Keegan kept on looking at the pretty holographic cover or the remarkably nymph-ish Bryce Dallas Howard, thinking of how enchanted I was in the first part of the village before being awakened from such haunting visions by an attempt at slight of hand turning into a smack to the head....
And Paul Giamatti!? I dont know what to think aside from the fact that the script consisted not with the use of characters but more endearingly annoying cliche spouts, being manuevered about with such lack of direction, and too much intent by the "writer" "capable of great things"...
Yeesh...
Bedtime for me. |

'Planet's future is at stake,' says Baird
Climate-change report predicts major consequences for Canadian Arctic
Last Updated: Friday, February 2, 2007 | 8:44 AM ET
CBC News:
Temperature increases expected in the next century could be disproportionately high in Canada, up an average of 10 degrees, scientists said from Paris on Friday, leading Environment Minister John Baird to call for "real action."
The top scientists from 113 countries agreed unanimously at the International Panel on Climate Change that mass burning of fossil fuels, land use and agriculture practices are indeed melting polar ice caps.
Faced with projections that say Canada could be particularly hard hit by the effects of climate change, Ottawa is set to put tough emissions policies in place, Baird said Friday from Paris.
"The time for talking about this and studying it in Canada is over. We have to get acting," said Baird, adding he would soon be meeting with other world ministers in Paris to discuss how Canada "can play catch-up" in reducing emissions.
"The planet's future is at stake," Baird told CBC News. "[Global warming] is a fact and it requires real action."
Baird acknowledged that the consequences may be particularly dire in Canada, where the temperature increases are expected to be higher in the next century than in most parts of the world.
"If the temperature in the world was to go up by 1.8 to even four degrees, which is the range [projected by the year 2100], that's going to have gigantic consequences for the world, but even more significant for Canada, because we're a northern nation and have huge Arctic territories," Baird said.
One Canadian scientist on the Paris panel told CBC News that Canada could heat up by an average of 10 degrees. The change would mean no ice in the Arctic summer.
Time for 'tough environmental policies': Baird
The 21-page summary of the panel's findings released Friday represents the most authoritative science on global warming, which the experts describe as an "unequivocal" problem. And the new message to world leaders is that inaction is no longer an option.
That means moving away from voluntary greenhouse gas emissions caps and enacting tough environmental policies, Baird said.
Ken Denman, a Canadian and one of eight key authors of the study, told CBC News from Paris that scientists believe the temperature increases in the Arctic will be double the average increases elsewhere.
"In other words if it says 3 degrees, you might think 6 degrees for the high Arctic," he explained.
Denman said river levels in Alberta and Saskatchewan are usually filled with glacial melt in the summers, but "with much less glaciers and earlier melting, you might expect those rivers to be much lower, [resulting in] less water for irrigation when it's needed."
In a worst-case scenario, warming could expect to melt the Greenland ice sheets in a millennium, causing a sea-level rise of up to seven metres, Denman said.
Reconsider spending priorities: Suzuki
David Suzuki, Canadian environmentalist and host of CBC's The Nature of Things, said from Halifax on Friday morning that scientists have done their part and the burden has now shifted to politicians.
"There's been a drumbeat of all kinds of weird weather events, and [Canadians] understand that something weird is happening and they really want some action," Suzuki said. He pointed to the destruction of B.C. forests by pine beetles surviving warmer winters and the series of freak storms that devastated Vancouver's Stanley Park this winter.
Suzuki asked why Canada doesn't reconsider its spending priorities.
"We don't hesitate to spend $16 billion a year on defence. What is the likelihood that we'll go to war or have hostility directed against us? A heck of a lot less than the 90 per cent certainty that humans are causing climate change right now."
Rather than aim for cuts of five or 10 per cent in greenhouse gas emissions, he challenged the Conservatives to aim for 60 or 70 per cent cuts by 2050.
But Suzuki also said the report is a rallying call to ordinary citizens to make simple lifestyle changes that could curb the global warming threat. |

Prime Minister Stephen Harper once called the Kyoto accord a "socialist scheme" designed to suck money out of rich countries, according to a letter leaked Tuesday by the Liberals.
The letter, posted on the federal Liberal party website, was apparently written by Harper in 2002, when he was leader of the now-defunct Canadian Alliance party.
He was writing to party supporters, asking for money as he prepared to fight then-prime minister Jean Chrétien on the proposed Kyoto accord.
"We're gearing up now for the biggest struggle our party has faced since you entrusted me with the leadership," Harper's letter says.
"I'm talking about the 'battle of Kyoto' — our campaign to block the job-killing, economy-destroying Kyoto accord."
The accord is an international environmental pact that sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Canada officially ratified the accord Dec. 17, 2002, under Chrétien's Liberal government. Harper's Conservative government, which took power January 2006, has since been accused of ignoring the accord.
Harper's letter goes on to outline why he's against the agreement.
Accord based on 'contradictory' data: Harper
He writes that it's based on "tentative and contradictory scientific evidence" and it focuses on carbon dioxide, which is "essential to life."
He says Kyoto requires that Canada make significant cuts in emissions, while countries like Russia, India and China face less of a burden.
Under Kyoto, Canada was required to reduce emissions by six per cent by 2012, while economies in transition, like Russia, were allowed to choose different base years.
"Kyoto is essentially a socialist scheme to suck money out of wealth-producing nations," Harper's letter reads.
He said the accord would cripple the oil and gas industries, which are essential to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
He wrote in the letter that he would do everything he could to stop Chrétien from passing the Kyoto agreement.
"We will do everything we can to stop him there, but he might get it passed with the help of the socialists in the NDP and the separatists in the BQ [Bloc Québécois]."
The Prime Minister's Office refused to comment about the letter on the record.
In recent weeks, Harper has spoken strongly about the environment, saying he will dramatically revamp his minority government's much-criticized Clean Air Act.
His comments come as public-opinion polls indicate the environment has become the number one issue among Canadians.
Liberal MP Mark Holland told the Canadian Press on Tuesday that the leaked letter shows that Harper isn't actually committed to climate change.
"Now, suddenly, because he has seen the polls and realized the political opportunism of going green, the prime minister has launched a new campaign — that of trying to convince Canadians that he actually cares about the environment," Holland said.
"But no one is buying it."
The Kyoto Protocol went into effect Feb. 16, 2005, with 141 countries signing on, including every major industrialized country, except the United States, Australia and Monaco.
OTTAWA -- Text of a 2002 letter by Stephen Harper to members of his Canadian Alliance party denouncing the Kyoto accord:
Dear Friend,
We’re on a roll, folks!
The Canadian Alliance is once again setting the agenda in the House of Commons. Look at what happened in less than two months since Parliament reopened:
- We bagged another Liberal cabinet minister when we drove the hapless Lawrence MacAulay to resign for violating the ethics guidelines.
- We broke Jean Chretien’s chokehold on the House of Commons by getting the election of committee chairs and votes on all private members’ bills.
- We finally (!) got the Liberals to agree to set up a national registry for sex offenders.
But we can’t just relax and declare victory. We’re gearing up for the biggest struggle our party has faced since you entrusted me with the leadership. I’m talking about the “battle of Kyoto” - our campaign to block the job-killing, economy-destroying Kyoto Accord.
It would take more than one letter to explain what’s wrong with Kyoto, but here are a few facts about this so-called “Accord”:
- It’s based on tentative and contradictory scientific evidence about climate trends.
- It focuses on carbon dioxide, which is essential to life, rather than upon pollutants.
- Canada is the only country in the world required to make significant cuts in emissions. Third World countries are exempt, the Europeans get credit for shutting down inefficient Soviet-era industries, and no country in the Western hemisphere except Canada is signing.
- Implementing Kyoto will cripple the oil and gas industry, which is essential to the economies of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
- As the effects trickle through other industries, workers and consumers everywhere in Canada will lose. THERE ARE NO CANADIAN WINNERS UNDER THE KYOTO ACCORD.
- The only winners will be countries such as Russia, India, and China, from which Canada will have to buy “emissions credits.” Kyoto is essentially a socialist scheme to suck money out of wealth-producing nations.
- On top of all this, Kyoto will not even reduce greenhouse gases. By encouraging transfer of industrial production to Third World countries where emissions standards are more relaxed, it will almost certainly increase emissions on a global scale.
For a long time, the Canadian Alliance stood virtually alone in opposing the Kyoto Accord, as Bob Mills, our senior environment critic, waged a valiant battle against it. Now, however, allies are stepping forward - eight of 10 provincial governments, and a broad coalition of businesses across Canada - to help us fight the “battle of Kyoto.”
Jean Chretien says he will introduce a resolution to ratify Kyoto into Parliament and get it passed before Christmas. We will do everything we can to stop him there, but he might get it passed with the help of the socialists in the NDP and the separatists in the BQ.
But the “battle of Kyoto” is just beginning. Ratification is merely symbolic; Kyoto will not take effect unless and until it is implemented by legislation. We will go to the wall to stop that legislation and at that point we will be on much stronger procedural ground than in trying to block a mere resolution.
The Reform Party defeated the Charlottetown Accord in an epic struggle in the fall of 1992. Now the Canadian Alliance is leading the battle against the Kyoto Accord!
But we can’t do it alone. It will take an army of Canadians to beat Kyoto, just as it did to beat Charlottetown.
We can’t stop Kyoto just in Parliament. We need your help at all levels. We need you to inform yourself about Kyoto, to discuss it with your friends and neighbours, and to write protest letters to newspapers and the government.
And, yes, we need your gifts of money. The “battle of Kyoto” is going to lead directly into the next election. We need your contribution of $500, or $250, or $100, or whatever you can afford, to help us drive the Liberals from power.
Yours truly,
Stephen Harper, MP
Leader of the Opposition
PS: The “battle of Kyoto” shows why the Canadian Alliance is so important to you and to Canada. All the other federal parties are supporting Kyoto (Liberals, NDP, BQ) or speaking out of both sides of their mouth (Tories). Only the Canadian Alliance is strong and fearless enough to block dangerous and destructive schemes like the Charlottetown Accord and the Kyoto Accord.

I love it when your browser decides to die after you spent the last 20 minutes writing a journal entry..
And then you get to write a whole new journal entry trying to convey that which you just conveyed, or essentially trying to convince someone (yourself) that what you wrote may or may not be worth rewriting.
Fuck its awesome...
Other natural highs along the same line:
The fact that the heat in my building was not working until this evening since yesterday causing the toilet seat to become something akin to a nice blanket of cold needles...
Yes what glorious heights I have experienced lately.
Anyways my actual entry had a allot more to do with a "rekindling" of my love of converstaion this weekend, where I actually had to realize it was 5 in the morning and for most of the night the multiple conversations I was in went somehere! (I think I am too used to trying to carry on conversations at the bar)
Yay.
Anyways in anyone has any advice of recumbent bikes, let me know :)

HMV staff christmas party tonight, which was a rather bland experience not without its highlights. My favorite local band played which was cool, and I got to know a few of the people whose boss I now am in a better social suurounding then a mall at christmas.
Pinochet dies and it unfortunately means little to me, which maybe hammers home the small life I live. On that subject I have to have a debate as to what a "small life" is. Anywaysm apologies for my previous rant which I feel insulted the way people communicate with other. Communication is something that is going through allot of change, in some ways good in some ways bad. I mean I guess it depends on the individual. But anyways I am sorry to attack peoples words and expression,I just hope people use them with the idea of how powerful they can be.
I am going ice skating this week for the first time in... I cant even remember how long. I yearn for the reverence for the outdoors I had was I was young. It is bred out of us today, too early (though saying that implies in some way that there could ever be a time when it was okay - I disagree)
I am stalling my sleep now though.
Goonight, I share my dreams with your reality if I may.
