I was recently pondering the amount of waste that exists in our society. That's not true. I was actually pondering the immense amount of reading I have to do this weekend. Most notably Bob's insistence on single-handedly destroying the global forest by giving me a gargantuan stack of hand-outs to read. And a weekly discussion paper to write. The worst part? I pay the University 400 dollars a course for this! Plus text-books. They say (whoever "they" really are) that I will benefit someday from this torture and that it will all be worth it in the end. But really where is "the end"? WHEN is "the end"? When I die? Life is about learning and all that jazz, but I like watching the food network all day. And some would say, "Ahh! But you are learning to cook when you watch the food network!" But I enjoy cooking! I don't enjoy reading about global information systems, social research methods, Canadian Politics or the metaphors and language used to describe the environment. I can't lie, I do enjoy geography immensely, enough to make it my life's work. But I don't really want to grow up and go out into the world. I like being a kid.

On the plus side, tonight is games night, always a riot! I get to play my new Price is Right DVD game! Really its just an excuse to make me pay 30 dollars for a bunch of commercials but I don't care. Advertising doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother others. Maybe because I'm so eccentric (as Shaun puts it). Anywho, the mice have taken over, Lucky is going crazy and my mom is being forced to go through all her crap and throw it away. If she doesn't, I'll just throw it away when she's not looking!
