Light travels faster than sound; this is why some people appear intelligent until they speak.

So I would just like to announce that I adore my little horse. She *really* wasn't too sure what to make of the pony that joined us in the ring -- but then, we all know ponies are evil so can't really blame her for that *g* -- but other than that, she was awesome. Has lost any and all muscle on the right side and most of it on the left -- but at least that shows me that she had it to lose! hahaha it's the little things in life eh?

The arena is the dustiest I've ever been in *sigh* -- and that is saying something. But the footing was good. The handful of people I met were all super friendly and easy going so tis a good start.

Had a fun time being a tourist this weekend -- in Toronto :) Yup you read that right. Try it some time -- seriously, how often do we do the tourist thing in our own home towns? I've seen far more of several other countries than I've ever seen of Canada (will remedy that eventually :)... We just don't do the touristy thing when it's always available. So I took a girlfriend who's never been downtown before and we did the winter tourist thing. Subway, ROM, Eaton Center, PATH hike (really boring when it's not during office hours and everything is closed), etc etc. Photos here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=224238&id=823765365&l=3ac5f if you're interested. Determined to play the game again when it's summer and we can enjoy being outside :)



Am watching one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen -- but it's strangely addictive... Find myself captivated to see what incredibly strange twist will happen next.

On a completely unrelated note: http://www.teslamotors.com/ -- this is very kewl. Seriously snazzy-looking electric car, highway safe, available in Canada. Currently sport-car expensive, but apparently a normal version available next year. Huge kudos to the guy who designed it and when rejected by the car companies went ahead and developed it on his own!
