Jan. 17th, 2006 10:32 pmI got my feature written yesterday and polished it today. Now I'm stressing out about it, of course. Boss liked it -- I just need to chill out.
I need to get back in the habit of evenings. I'm not used to having a long evening at home with nothing scheduled. How sad is that? (For starters, I could have either (a) continued the Great Throwing-Out or (b) written stuff. But noo, I read the paper and did some Sudoku and some dishes. Which, OK, not a terrible way to spend an evening.)
My parents are out at an all-candidates meeting. I gave myself a pass on the grounds that this isn't my riding (although I really do have to phone and make sure I'm registered in my riding). I do need to figure out who to vote for. I'm wavering between:
Marilyn Churley (NDP) - friend of Sarah Harmer
Jim Harris (Green) - fan of Diana Krall (according to the Green Party site, which has some odd factoids in there -- I mean, rollerblading? Lakefield?)
I am really undecided. Voting Green would be more of a gesture. It would be a good gesture -- I like a lot of things about their platform, I would really like environmental issues to have more of a place than they do, I think it would be cool to get a new(ish) party elected. Realistically, though, I don't know how much of a shot Harris has (he was interviewed on CBC last week and sounded confident that the riding was pretty evenly split, but I'm not sure). Churley's generally well liked and has a sound record. Hm.
I have nothing against the incumbent. I have nothing against the Conservative either, I'm sure he's very nice, but the party... no.
Rounding out the slate we have a Marxist-Leninist (no website of his own, clearly not a contender) and a Progressive Canadian, aka The Tories That Wouldn't Play Ball (good luck to him, but... no).
Hm, again. Apparently there's an all-candidates meeting for my riding tomorrow night, 7-9 p.m. at Kimberly Public School.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crankygrrl? pariah_ink? Feeling energetic?
(My parents have THREE flavours of Communist, plus the sole candidate from the Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada. Their riding is clearly more interesting than mine.)

Gardeners: Man the green barricades in LA (no, do read it)
This quiz really is fiendish. Clearly they don't believe in any of that namby-pamby self-esteem business on the Isle of Man. (The answers are up now, but I think I'll take a couple days longer to stare at it.)
