I bruised my fingers badly earlier when I closed the door on them. A couple of minutes later I fainted. Again. This whole 'fainting' thing is starting to get troubling.
The Globe and Mail had an article today about the Depression VS Now called The Depression's History Lessons. I thought it was interesting, although they said in the introductory paragraph that Mackenzie King was in charge during it, but I was right when I was mentioning this earlier - Mackenzie King lost the election in 1930 and got re-elected in 1935, so he was in power for the beginning and end, but missed most of the Depression. Though I might be mistaken on exactly why he wasn't elected in 1930. Yeah, I'm a nerd.
So they get points for having an article on the depression and an article entitled "Why So Serious?". Well played. Still not exactly my favorite newspaper.
Oh! And the show "Chuck" is pretty good. It's got good het ships, good slash ships, and the main character knows how to speak Klingon. I approve. We're almost done the first season. So hopefully we can catch up enough to see it on air. |
