Wow, I love my kitten! I never had a cat growing up. No pets at all really, other than a dog who died when I was five.

I'm making up for it in spades with Uther the kitten curled up in a little ball of adorable beside my leg. This is awesome.

Ha. If I'm feeling pretentious, I can now sign "MA" after my name. Eat that, Canadian graduate education system!

You know, it just struck me that I should probably change my name on here. After next week, I'm not a student anymore. I'm actually pretty happy about that. It's been close to a year since I felt that it was an important part of my identity.

Hmm, might have to go for good ol' Generichuman - my more common online identity.

We now have what is approximately the world's most adorable kitten. He's a little grey kitten from the Humane Society, about two months old. He's big for his age, but my god, he's the most nervous little creature I've ever seen. Poor guy.

We have ourselves a scardey-cat.

I probably shouldn't distribute this at my defense:

13 day countdown.

Ticktock, ticktock

I just printed off the full draft of my thesis, in its entirety, for the first time.

It looks kind of cool. One of those huge bull-clip paperclips barely holds it together. My poor shitty inkjet printer is probably shuddering after that.

19 day countdown to defense...

Oooh, Voting Day! My christmas.

It's the most wonderful time of the year... tra la la la la la...

First rule of leftist politics:

Pick your battles.

It's amazing how many times this is forgotten. And look where we are...

Why isn't this bigger news? I know there are other conservative candidates who have said worse, too.

The Conservatives have done a pretty decent job of keeping a muzzle on the radical right wing of their party. But, they can't stay shut up forever. The gag is starting to slip a bit, me'thinks! Plenty of time to self-destruct...

Jesus. Does Toronto Global News actually receive paycheques from the provincial Tories? Wow.
