I sent out a list of furniture I was giving away to our Everybody list at 4:27. By 4:52 it was all spoken for. (I mean "all" -- one of my colleagues knows a couple who just arrived from Romania and will take whatever's left, so yay!)
Less to schlep to Toronto, woohoo!

Life with very few books
Jul. 30th, 2004 08:36 pmis a bit of a pain.
I saw the Rosalind Franklin biography for $7.95 at the used bookstore across the street from me (another thing I will miss) and unfortunately exercised willpower and did not buy it. It was a wrench, but I did realize that I had 15 boxes of books and that adding to them would Not Be Helpful.
So I'm down to one Jennifer Crusie, Paris 1919 (yes, still -- I stopped for a while), Stanley Park, and one of the books![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raithen gave me for my birthday. Which is a fine selection, but a tad confining.
sigh...

Dear Premiers (Especially Jean Charest):
Jul. 30th, 2004 08:59 pmYou are all a bunch of whiners.
For your information, the only people who give a damn about whether the federal government or the provinces administer healthcare are provincial politicians. Your "Give us more money but don't you dare tell us how to spend it!" stance is just juvenile -- I think Canadians would all like, at the very least, some guarantee that you won't go spending your new billions on lawnmowers, like last time.
Also, speaking as a Quebecker for the next two weeks and a carrier of a Quebec health card for the next 3 months and 2 weeks, it would be really, really great if you'd get off your butt and get around to making our health care fully portable, like it's supposed to be. Remind me again what we're all paying these ridiculously high taxes for?
And now you think it would be really swell if you could have a national pharmacare program that Ottawa would pay for too. I have just one question: Are you kidding me?
Grrrr.
