Unfortunately, I do like this logo.

I’ve been getting really pissed off lately because on my walk to work every morning I’m bombarded by people waving “free” newspapers in my face. I’ve had to say “no thanks” about a million times in the past couple weeks thanks to these people. Maybe it’s the Finnish in me, but I’d like to enjoy my walk to work with out having to have any sort of interaction with another human being aside from barging past them. So this morning I made an effort to find a new route where there were none of these clowns, but to no avail. So I wondered, why are they trying so hard to force this crap on us? And this is what I found;

“Last week’s unveiling of Dose, CanWest Global Communications Corp.’s daily magazine, is the latest attempt by a publishing firm to grab the eyeballs of elusive 18- to 34-year-old readers. This demographic group has become a crucial target for newspapers, not only because it has been drifting away from traditional print media, but because of its huge disposable income and growing economic clout.”

Hmm… I don’t think I like being a target market. Can someone please make it stop?

My friends Charlotte, Sara and I have decided to form an anti-”knitting snob” club where we can get together and knit or crochet and we can teach and help each other get better at it (and gossip and eat junk food while we’re at it). It’s really easy and fun and there’s no experience required so if anyone’s interested (and there is absolutely no snobbery allowed) just leave me a comment and I’ll let you know when our next session is. It is tentatively set for Charlotte’s new place in North Van sometime as soon as she is settled in. We most likely will make it a field trip to pick up some yarn and needles from a great knitting store in North Van called the Knit and Stitch Shoppe.

I’ve been crocheting for a few years now and I have decided to try my hand at knitting. It’s been a lot harder to get the hang of, but it helps to have people around to show you new and better ways of doing it. Anyway, our next meeting will be fun and we will also try and fit in some xbox playing time ‘cuz I’m dying to play Fable, and Charlotte has it! Yay!

Clint picked up this little baby the otherday. It’s so beautiful I can’t put it down. I’m in love with the PSP. The screen is amazing and it fits perfectly in my warm little hands. I can’t wait to get some more games… Unfortunately, I am now behind on my school work.
