Wednesday, at supper time, the kids turned the tv on and I heard ”Mom, Arthur is green.” I went into the living room to check and discovered that all the colour on the tv had become psychedelic. Fluorescent green, blue, red, yellow. I checked the colour settings, everything was correct, checked with a dvd to make sure it wasn’t the cable, still funky colours. I mentioned to a friend of mine about the tv and they asked me jokingly if I was stoned when I was looking at the tv, it’d be easier if I was, because then i’d at least know the colours would go back to normal after, lol. Unfortunately, I’d say my 13 year old tv has finally bit the dust. I hate it when things like this break because it’s always a chunk of money you didn’t expect to have to dish out for something.

Also if I was stoned (note, to those who take things too seriously, I am not, have not been stoned, lol), maybe I’d believe Bush wasn’t in power. I was tipped from a friend that yesterday was the Day of Mass Resistance to drive out the Bush Regime. I would have blogged about it before to let people know, but I was out of town all day yesterday and wasn’t able to blog. From the report on the website, it looks like they had good turnouts in many places. I’d be curious though over how much of a difference that will make to someone to influence their vote for the next election. 

On another note, Alec came in 40th this week at cross country and was thrilled that he did better than last week. He has one more race next week and his goal is to place in the 30’s. And this race, he ran the whole time without walking at all, which was a first. He’s been so proud of his accomplishments. I’d say he’s been learning some valuable lessons through this process. 

Finally, my brother who lives in Thailand is getting married in a few months. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend the wedding, but I am going through old photo albums and I’ll be emailing him photos for a video presentation they’ll be doing on his life. His fiance Ae seems very nice (we’ve chatted via MSN). If it wasn’t for the internet and all the innovations, I’d rarely be talking to my brother. But with msn, skype, email, etc. we’re able to keep in touch regularly:)
