More delays, but I've now got a new proposed thesis proposal defense date: April 9th.

All things considered, I'm not sure I'll really believe it until I'm served with the official paperwork, but it sounds like the schedules have already been considered and all signs point to this date actually working out.

I just wish I felt less like Charlie Brown trying to kick that darned football.

Yes, we really do need to govern our mayor better.

Seriously, I wonder if there's any one worth voting for in the new batch of candidates. Did you hear that Gauthier stomped off in a huff because he couldn't deal with the fact that the city decided to let a cheese shop keep their fake cow on the roof?

Hah, I just Googled that. Cow: kryptonite for councillor.

As for the new candidates, my informants tell me it's too early to tell. Anyone But Larry, please. I would generally follow the advice of Vicky (http://offhand.ca/), but that's just me.

PhD despair to cyanide-making were-puffins to Ottawa municipal politics. Google's LSI engine must be smoking about now.

And the recaptcha's have gotten dark again: "to bitumen". So true.

This thread is only the second link from Google on a search for "cyanide puffin". There's something wrong with this. It should be first.

I'm rather impressed at how many cyanide puffin links there are, actually. However, cyanidepuffin.com seems to still be available. Want to start a blog about dubious recaptchas, municipal politics, and despair? ;)
