"Faisant fi des menaces d'attentats et des appels au boycott des elections, une Irakienne a fait le signe de la victoire avec ses doigts, dont l'un est taché d'encre, après être allée voter au bureau d'Az-Zubayr, dans le sud du pays". Et maintnent, grâce a Andrew Parsons qui a fait le photo, j'ai le changé pour un nouveau annonce publicitaire pour lait.

Subject: Cotler announces same-sex bill for next week, moves to silence Liberal critics
Dear Paul,
Call me paranoid, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Vincent read my blog. He was acting different yesterday; almost civil. Didn't yell once, even though he seems to be under a lot of pressure, what with the shop renovations, addition of new equipment and large contracts. He had rented a van yesterday; I accompanied him to the rental location on Jean Talon and then drove the van back to the shop. It was a nice change of pace. I worked late, finishing gluing the steps. Decided to take a break from class and stayed in. Worked a bit, ate some supper and watched Les Ordres on TV. Hadn't realized before just how draconian the War Measures Act was, especially for the people that were arrested as a result of it. The Act gives the government almost unlimited powers. More than 450 citizens were arrested and nearly all of them (435) were released later without ever being charged. It seems a disturbing pattern emerged: for the most part, those arrested were separatists and radical social spokesmen. In the eyes of many the purpose of the operation was to crush separatism - the legitimate legal movement- and to uphold the status quo. The film follows five "ordinary" folks, from having the police show up at their doors, through the gritty reality of being incarcerated. Not fun. And now we have post 911 changes, don't we? Didn't the anti-terrorism act amend a whole slough of other acts, removing civil liberties clauses and due processes, making it easier for police to hold and detain "suspected" terrorists? And it goes on and on.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I'm almost late for work.…Student loans are starting to call me. I swear they called at 7am and then hung up—probably realizing that there was a time difference from where they were calling. And from where were they calling? It could have been anywhere. Next time I'll ask.

Subject: Chretien lawyers seek to oust head of federal sponsorship inquiry, Les avocats de Chrétien somment le juge Gomery de se récuser
Cher Paul,
Je pense que le temperature me donne de saignement de nez. J'avais un hier, sur la metro. Un homme gentil me donne un serviette.
J'ai fait des rêves bizarre hier soir. Un vaste centre des magasins sous-terre, massif. Je courais aucun arrêt. Et un chaffeur ivrogne d'autobus, promenadait sur rues rural, zig-zag.
Je vais aller a furnibois.

plaza-st-hubert
Winter is nice in Montréal, despite the cold. It just looks nice. Even garbage trucks driving through the snow look nice, somehow. And the never-ending lights on the trees along Plaza St-Hubert are a favourite of mine. Why don't they do that all year 'round? And if winter can look so nice then why do I still feel blue?

Subject: Canada to send disaster response team to Sri Lanka for tsunami relief, Le "DART" partira cette semaine pour le Sri Lanka pour aider les rescapés
Dear Paul,
…
So guess what happened at work today? No, I wasn't fired, but close: I was demoted! My work thus far has not been up to Vincent's expectations (and my salary). So now another crossroads: Do I stay with Furnibois at a slightly lower salary and learn more about woodworking and possibly use the facilities to my own ends, or do I look for other carpentry/handyman/painter jobs that would pay more? What would you do?
I started a new painting of you today, the one from the Globe last month when you were in Libya. Worked on some of the curio cabinet/Wunderkammer objects as well. Took the metro to Claudine's apartment to finally retrieve my camera. Bought groceries and made supper. The globe I am making for Jo Cook's show has hit some snags; I need to get to a hardware store tomorrow to get a new lamp cable.
Yaga is in the animal hospital in NB. He developed sores on his mouth, tongue and throat and can't eat and is barely drinking. He needs antibiotics. I feel guilty for separating him and Kuan and dumping him at my parent's house, as they are now dealing with this sickness. Maybe he misses his sister? She doesn't seem to miss him; she's been quite pleasant, actually. She won't sit still when I try to brush the knots from her fur, but she does purr more, especially at 6 in the morning when she routinely walks about my head while I'm trying to sleep.
