Tell me about your default icon.
It's cropped from an image I found a decade ago on Howie Green's website. I've been feeling a little guilty about that recently and have been meaning to write Howie and ask for permission (and offer payment) to use the image and username. That, like so many things, is On My To-Do List.
I still need to sort through my now-mostly-unplayable computer games and my Miscellaneous Closet Stuff, and do some amount of herding of things into reasonable piles, but I'm mostly ready for the Burly Men to come and put everything I own in boxes.
This is kinda weird. I haven't had other people pack up all my stuff in... yeesh, twenty years. (That was the time I went away to summer camp for a week and when I came back we'd moved.)
It's starting to sink in that, yeah, I won't be here this time next month, for most values of "here" that come to mind.
Like I say, weird.
An amusing side effect of the NDP's unexpected surge: the new NDP Members from Quebec include a student voting in his first election, and an assistant pub manager who speaks limited French and spent the week before last in Vegas instead of campaigning. Oh dear.
(Are you sick of hearing about the Canadian election yet? Me too! But I have to suffer through the consequences, so you can as well.)

On the way home from rehearsal last night, I was listening to a Canadian news show (As It Happens), and some of the interviews with various politicians were interesting (although the Tory from BC just made me want to punch him :P ).
