bits & bobs & deportations

Happy Birthday emjayne! 25 is a good year, as I recall.

Day 4 of new haircut. I washed it this morning and am cautiously pleased. It's sad to be still getting the hang of hairdryers and circular brushes at the age of 29, but what are you gonna do? Actually I leapt out of bed at 5 to 8 when I remembered I had a conference call at 9 (Tuesdays are always like this -- at least it took my mind off my freezing cold bedroom). Had to take a taxi; the driver didn't quite seem to grasp the notion that if I wanted to be stuck in traffic on Sherbrooke, I'd have taken the bus! Finally cracked at Drummond at 5 to 9 and said "Monsieur, je suis un peu en retard -- c'est possible de prendre Dr. Penfield?" He answered to the effect of "Sure, you have to be there by 9?" Um, YES.

Today's Dilbert is all too hideously relevant. Also very funny.

Maher Arar is home and doesn't seem to bear a grudge. So far. Forbearing guy. What has bugged me (and apparently Amnesty International) about this whole case is, why the hell hasn't Foreign Affairs been raising a ruckus about the States shipping a Canadian citizen travelling on a Canadian passport off to Syria? And, um, NO INQUIRY? Why the hell not? It may be time for me to write my MP...

oh right, time to work now.

Hair dryers and round brushes...

Tell me about it! I got a snazzy new do a few weeks ago and was delighted by how my hair looked once Liz (hairdresser extraordinaire) was done with the dryer and brush. I've been trying, with moderate success, to achieve the same sleek look at home. The best I can do is stylishly disheveled :)
