Where do all the cars come from?

sinjunThe roads are way too crowded with cars at 7am. Seriously. We need to find better modes of transportation.
In other news, I got a Solara post up for the first time in weeks. This is a good thing. *snoopy dances* Cause you know, there's a whole lot of catching up I still need to do. ;)
In other other news, more calculus tutoring looms on the horizon. I do hope I can help. Guess we'll see how it goes. Tonight - RP on RS at 8pm. Must remember that. Thursday, dinner with the parents. (Still gotta get Dad a b-day gift, but heck if I know what he needs. I'll have to call Mom.) Saturday 10am - calculus. Hrmph.
I was reading the Economist from the beginning of this month. It's amusing how there's letters from various folks contradicting each other. I'm not saying which is right or wrong, or if either is. I just noted the opinions. In this particular case, the letters were reacting to articles on the relationship between Japan and China. The letter from the Japanese person said that many Japanese people considered China to have an arrogant attitude, even though the Japanese had apologized for atrocities committed during war time on more than one occasion. The letter from the Chinese person said that the Japanese had never genuinely apologized. There's obviously more to it than that - and I admit this is the first issue of the Economist I have so I didn't read the original articles - but still, it does show just how difficult politics and relationships can be, in a simple and almost elegant fashion. The letters are one right after the other in the magazine.
I do find it amusing, but at the same time, it makes me wistful, pensive and thoughtful. I wonder if we'll ever move forward.

Date: 2005-04-26 05:31 pm (UTC)My roomie Chris in Univ. pissed off one of our other roomies Nicole on year... his sum total of studying for the exam in an Economics course they both took, consisted of listening to the lectures on tape, ONCE, on the trip down from Sudbury to Waterloo to take the final. He beat her on the course. I don't believe she ever forgave him.
