Tonight....

I watched a wonderful movie with my Mom...it's called "The Imitation of Life". It's an old movie, starring Lana Turner, and was made by Universal Pictures in 1959. An amazing tale of two women struggling to raise their daughters. The ending was sad (if you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you) and I cried like a sissy. I definately reccommend that you watch it. Make sure you have Kleenex handy too...you'll need it. Trust me.
On another note, been tired alot too. Sleepiness comes in waves throughout the day. Hmmm...need to set up an appointment for the doc. Although there's this nasty flu bug going around, but I hope I haven't caught it. Nothing's worse than being sick with fever and chills and hanging out beside a pizza oven all day. It just sucks. As you can tell, I usually don't take sick days. I hate being sick. I think it's because when I do get sick, I always have so much crap I have to do. I liked to joke i University that I moved around too fast for the flu bug to catch up. So far I've been lucky...only a nasty sinus cold since I've been home. Oh yeah, and my hip going out...that sucked royally. The town had a flu clinic tonight where everyone could get a flu shot free of charge. I didn't go. A friend of the family (and he's a spry 75) said there were a lot of "coffin dodgers" there. That just cracks me up. He doesn't see himself asone of them. I can see why. He walks every day, and has the health of a person half his age. It's amazing. I keep telling him he'll outlive us all. At any rate...I don't need a flu shot. If I get sick, I'll just let my immune system do what it supposed to do. Plus, I have my Mom's secret weapon...hot toddy. Yup. Works for me!
So...not a heck of a lot to report...haven't been hit on lately (thank God!) so am in good spirits although this town is rather boring. Not too much going on. Oh, unless I want to gripe about the proposed water meters the Council for the Township has decided (without a public vote) to go ahead with. Apparantly the town uses too much water...Ummm...nooo...the Towns pipes underground are 50 years old and are subject to breaks, which causes the water loss. Of course, being the brilliant idiots they are, they figure they'll install water meters before the fix the infrastructure...so that means we'll be paying to clean the gunk from our pipes after they replace them. Yeah. There's supposed to be a big public meeting about it. Tonight there was one for the schools, and some local residents came in asking questions, and when the Mayor said he wasn't going to answer their queries, they hollered obscenities at him and walked out. So I think I'll attend the bloodbath tomorrow, mainly because I could use some cheap entertainment. Who knows? Maybe it'll end up like WWE with some disgruntled resident throwing a chair or something. So hopefully I'll report some interesting stuff. Stay tuned.
Blogger question...what has been the dumbest thing your government (local, provincial, or federal) has implemented recently? Blog ya later!
