Ok, the weather outside is wonderful, and I am trapped on a train taking forever to get home. Apparently, whenever the weather is very hot, the train doesn’t function well. Go figure. It doesn’t function well when it is cold either. That must mean the trains and the tracks are designed to be used in Holland or any other country with moderate temperatures. It’s surprising, as you would think this would be something easily solved. Oh well. It is still faster than driving…

Photo by manu contrerasWow, I have been trying to get this site up for about 1 month now. I have managed to add a few items to my sidebar, such as status messages from Facebook, but I haven’t managed much more than that. Regardless, hopefully I’ll get some actual ramblings online soon, I mean, it’s not like there has been a lack of topics to write about. Expect to see soon my feedback on this years Toronto International Film Festival, and some rants on politics in Canada, as well as the USA.
