Apr. 8th, 2009 11:04 amA miracle! by a vote of 13-1, city hall approved a 9 storey office tower for downtown halifax.
I was skimming through "halifax"magazine, where they said discussing change is good, change itself, and progress are good, but at some point you have to do more, and talk less, and a pace of dev. at one building a decade ain't gonna cut it.
Even the Lord Mayor of Belfast was here, ( yes, Northern Ireland) giving our idiot mayor tips on how to revitalize the city.
The downside is that there's such an anti-downtown mentality here, people want their car-reliant far flung shopping sprawls. Which I think in most major cities, were being declared a bad idea, and so very 80s. But that's hali for you. Forever behind the times.
When the mayor of belfast is giving you tips, you know you might be in the shit, development wise.

Apr. 8th, 2009 02:05 pmMy epitaph will someday read "i told you I was sick".
Twice now in recent years I've come down hideously, dangerously sick and not spiked so much as a hint of a fever. Well, that is, either i don't, or that my normal temp is so low that if I am feverish, it shows as barely a hiccup or near normal for everyone else.
This leads to things like missing a raging kidney infection a few years ago, for which my doctor went "good freaking GOD you're sick, I'm tempted to toss you in the hospital right now. You SHOULD BE." after two ER visits missed the damn thing too.
And this last round with walking pnemonia. I take some of the heat, because I knew I should have gotten antibiotics, but also, finding a doctor here is nigh on impossible, and the heavy doses of prednisone seemed to indicate I wasn't that sick, i was feeling better than I had been in london. But still, NO damn fever. The key flag of "hello, sick!"
So now I guess I should be wary, from here on out.
Last lecture for genetics. He told a tale of a student who "I liked your class so much, I had to take it 3 times." Ah well, even if I have to repeat molecular genetics/biochem/genetics again, I have at least a base to build on. Since I'm only an "explorations" student, my advisor was "uh, you're arts and science exp, and you've taken mostly science, and for the most part, done well, and only one fail so don't sweat it."
But my genetic prof was "you should have gotten a NOTE!" yes, I should have, but I was off my head sick so I wasn't thinking clearly. I vaguely know there was a march 2008 but I couldn't really tell you what happened during it, either.
( I'm tempted to get a thermometer so I can get an average, so that the next time i'm felled by some evil bacteria, I have some kind of effin proof, because man, this kind of thing is so desperately unfuckingfunny.)

to my military friends: a woman here was appointed commander of a million dollar battleship, the first woman to be so appointed.
Cue in the meatheads who think that the first sign of conflict, she'll demand to be removed from combat, and will decorate the ship in pink and ruffles.
Y'wanna come up here and kick some neanderthal ass? Please do.
This sort of manly man meathead thinking is all too common here, unfortunately.
