cough

this morning i was rudely greeted with a flu. ug. sitting around all night watching the empire strikes back & full metal jacket sure takes it out of you. wtf?
i did all my recycling today and even visited my cousins and my mother. how decent of me.

i tuned into venture (http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/index.jsp?program=Venture&network=CBC%20Television&startDate=2005/01/23&startTime=19:27), and it was focused on the pending energy crisis. it seems china and india are to blame once again. damn them for having more than one child per family. how dare they!
the program seemed to be focused on alternative energy. obvious solutions such as fuels from bio-mass, ie hemp, were missing. i believe the main character was mr. bush's energy advisor, which would more or less explain that. everyone interviewed seemed to be from houston or calgary, so the range of opinion was limited to say the least. but they did mention sawdust as a viable source of energy. i suppose..but sawdust doesnt grow on trees...

i generally enjoy the ever so slight left leanings of cbc, but i guess tonight it was not to be..
