Life
I thought I was on the mend, but I had to come home dizzy from work today. It was still too soon after the surgery. I hope I'm not coming down with a fever (my doctor was worried).
Politics
I flew off the handle yesterday when I discovered that hole in the government records. Turns out it's not something Harper's been plotting, but a procedural void. All four parties are responsible -- I don't think they even realize that their votes aren't being recorded in some circumstances.
I'm going to present an emergency motion to the NDP's convention in September. This procedural hole is fairly easy to fix, as soon as politicians notice the hole is there.
Even if Harper isn't responsible for the hole in the records, with his attacks on the press right now, we need accurate government records to keep track of what all the parties are doing. This is the worst time to have gaps in the records, and so far there's been a gap for every single vote this year on a government bill.
General Geekery
Everyone who's ever seen Neon Genesis Evangelion is actually required to go here. Yes, that's the law. I checked.
I'd issue a spoiler warning for everyone elese, but I think they'd all just be lost.
I love Evangelion. But it is really pretentious. I think I'd hate it as a book. Too James Joyce.
Maybe if Finnegan's Wake was done as an anime, it would be more enjoyable. If Joyce had giant cyborgs, badly-done quantum mechanics, and homoerotic subtext, I'd like him more.

DNAngel really is great (though the manga is much better than the anime, mostly because the animation is kind of clunky). It's very sweet. As for the slashiness, I don't know if it's jsut fan service. I mean yeah, Daisuke's probably never gonna end up with Satoshi but Satoshi most definately has more than friendly feelings for him.
