Today and tomorrow are th main events politically. If Ignatieff doesn't chicken out, we'll have a new government this week, and we'll finally have an NDP coalition. Last time the NDP had the balance of power, we got many of the social programs that are now woven into progressive Canadians' view of the country.
In the meantime, I've had trouble focusing on my writing. I set up a strict schedule for myself, and I'm nowhere close to keeping it. I've had trouble focusing these last few weeks.
I've been playing video games -- my usual cure for writer's block. I also started reading a brilliant webcomic named Goblins, which is funny in exact proportion to the amount of Dungeons and Dragons you've played in your life. I'm loving it, but it does make me miss gaming.
(People who've never played won't get it. Casual players will probably find it amusing. But there are lots of in-jokes that no one's going to get unless they've been DMing since 1st edition. The real test of how long you've been playing D&D would be if you recognize the picture on the back of the wall in this scene.)
Nothing much else going on except that I managed to save 100 square feet of rainforest in the only FaceBook app that actually does something in the real world, L'il Green Patch. That's 10 by 10 feet, or enough to preserve the endangered Gelatinous Cube.

On the other hand, if he plans to vote it down, it's best not to give the Conservatives warning. Harper might prorogue parliament again, or kneecap a few Liberals, or something like that.
Support for the coalition is rising. Ignatieff's got to know it's dangerous to pull out now for his party.
