Bucharest, Romania.

Just a fun thing to do on the crappiest day EVER. Try and beat my awesome score (and I want proof!).

Loving politics is like loving life.

In honour of all the political hooplah occurring in the city this weekend, I thought I would do a POLITICS AND LOVE sort of love list this Friday. So without further adieu, I bring you:


POLITICS: REASONING AS TO WHY IT’S BRINGING SEXY BACK


The fact the Stéphane Dion always looks like he’s about to cry
The Shawinigan handshake
Rick Mercer (heart heart heart!)
This photo of Stephen Harper
Oh, and this photo as well
Jack Layton (oh come on, you know he’s cool)
The Marijuana Party of Canada (have to get the youngins interested somehow)
The fact that thanks to direct democracy Minister of Public Safety, Stockwell Day, almost had to change his name to “Doris Day”
That time Danny Williams got pissed at former PM Paul Martin and ordered all the Canadian flags to be taken down from government buildings in the province
That time Danny Williams absolutely burned Paul McCartney on Larry King Live
That time Danny Williams took out ads in national newspapers like the Globe and Mail saying that current PM Stephen Harper was a hack and that we need to call an election
When Danny Williams wears his seal skin coat on the news

Oh Danny boy.

Oh Danny frigging boy.

Now my son, watch out ‘cause this post is going to be a doozy.

In case you haven’t heard (and if you haven’t, are you dead?): MR. STEVIE IS COMIN’ TO DA ISLAND. That’s right, Prime Minister Harper will be arriving in Newfoundland today for the weekend and visiting Stephenville (aw, man), St. John’s (yeehaw) and Port de Grave (I spent last Christmas there!).

Here’s where the political theatre begins!

Harper has requested a meeting with our lovely, soft-spoken, and all around gentle Premier, Danny Williams. Hah. Haha.

OH MAN, THE NEWS IS GONNA BE AWESOME THIS WEEKEND.

Ever since Progressive Conservative Williams started his ABC (Anything But Conservative!) campaign against Harper and his Administration, Canadians everywhere have been asking: WTF?

And us Newfoundlanders are kind of mixed, “Yay, a leader who isn’t Captain Canada!” as well as “Boo, you’re a loud mouth who makes us look stupid.”

But if I were to disagree with anything, it would be that Danny Williams is stupid. In fact the multi-millionaire’s only problem is that he likes to stick his foot in his mouth, but who am I to talk?

They were showing clips of Williams on the NTV news tonight and they showed one of my faves “Well Steve has just broken his promise,” (a reporter makes a comment) “Steve? Well if his best buddy George Bush can call him that, so can I.”

Haha. Hearts my Premier I do.

So everyone if you need me this weekend, you’ll find me parked in front of my television. Popcorn in one hand and sodie-pop in the other as I watch the leader of my country and the leader of my province come to blows.

Errare humanun est.

And I’m finished classes for this semester! Gooo me.

In my last class today (International Poli Sci) I had a test. Which I really didn’t think was allowed so close to exams, but whatevs (totally stole that from you Robyn, since you borrowed my “the suck”, hehe).

Anyway, Croci is a big bag of ol’ Italian fun so I was kind of sad to be finished with that class (note: “kind of”).

He only stayed for the first fifteen minutes of class and then his T.A. came. But before he left he wrote a sentence on the board: “Errare humanun est - sed perseverare diabolicum.” Roughly translated it means “Mistakes are human, but to continue making mistakes is devilish.”

(… I see a new tattoo in the worksss) :)

“This is the last time I will see you for a very long time, maybe ever.” He stated as he walked towards the door (a chorus of female “aww”s when up after that). So after gracing us with a wave and leaving us with this sentence to muse over, he left.

The T.A. began passing out these little tests.

These little tests.

That were one hundred and two questions long.

I seriously shed a tear and thought to myself “you little Italian bastard.”

Then I hear the guy behind me go “Oh my God.” And the girl next to him goes “What?” and he replies with “These are all the [expletive] questions from every test we did this year.”

And damn it if Croci didn’t have the last laugh, he had literally just stapled all our old tests together in one giant doomed test. Sassy old man.

Unfortunately for me and Latin proverbs everywhere, I continued to make mistakes.

Rocking the boat.
