Yay, friday!

TGIF, etc. Tho I have to go into work tomorrow, but it's a no-brainer day.. shutting down a bunch of stuff and putting up signs telling people to go away. This week has been one I'd rather not repeat due to some major suck-factor things, but it's all good now. Also had a 120GB HDD and a DVD/CD-RW drive arrive at work today for some server upgrades .. mmm :D Cut my finger slightly changing a network card, but not too badly.. stupid non SMT cards..

Went out tonight with [livejournal.com profile] grahame and a bunch of other people from UWA to the local pub. I just drank Coke. Alcohol doesn't reeeally interest me much, but it was good company and stuff, but then they started kareoke, and I left and played some MOHAA:Spearhead ;) Heh! While at the pub, I went to the shopping centre it's in to grab some dinner and saw someone I knew from high school pushing her 3 year old son around while 4 months pregnant ;) I knew about the first kid, and wasn't really surprised. I guess I always thought of this girl as a little strange in high school, but now we're older, she seems quite normal, which is nice :)

On a ranting note, from http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/05/02/us_pot_rxn030502 :

Murray said Canada's reputation in the global community would be forever altered if it decided to decriminalize pot.

"It's not just Canada's relationship with the United States that would change; it's Canada's relationship with the world," he said.

In fact, many countries, notably in Europe, have already decriminalized marijuana, but none of them share a border with the U.S., where the policy is zero tolerance for smoking pot.


I like the CBC writer's obvious bit of commentary there ;) Heh! And while I don't agree with smoking of anything, I don't think it should be criminal.. I think the WA view is they fine you and take your stash unless you have a large quantity. The US's views on "soft" drugs helps explain why nearly 1% of their population is in prison.. and why the drug companies make huge donations to both republicans and democrats..

Yeah, anyway, rant :)
