Funny how life works. I can't seem to get myself to worry properly over things or get genuinely concerned these days. It's a strange mentality I have, a "no need to worry, things'll get done soon" type mentality.

Anyway, vagueness aside, I'm back here in Calgary now and have been for a few days, severely jetlagged, hating the air, hating transit (30min wait for a bus? what? It's 5-7 minutes and 10-15 minutes for most routes in Ottawa, a city with less population than Calgary) wishing certain chain of events had never happened, hating hospitals (which is leaving the family generally unimpressed I suppose?), adoring Yann Thiersen music (Amélie, Goodbye Lenin) etc. etc. As much as I like seeing people again, I just don't like coming back to the city at all and I don't think I ever will.

In other news, Radio-Canada and RDI have been repeating the election announcements for the Québec elections non-stop. I've seen Dumont's face too many times to count.

To finish, I must say that Life on Mars is quite possibly the most brilliant, amazing and most craziest show I have ever seen from the BBC. I would recommend it to everyone, but not everyone would watch. Tant pis. *shrug*

The live remake of The Quatermass Experiment (2005) is scary. Scary, scary. But for being filmed and broadcast live it's of an amazing quality--a few audio gaffes here and there but I suppose the actors' nervousness of a live-on-tv (think live newscasts) and the way it was filmed helped convey the crazy scaryness of Quatermass a lot better.

Oh and Calgary proved to me that within the general populace, there are *some* very nice people left. My MP3 player fell right out of my pocket and down in between the train and the platform downtown down to the tracks and I was like "Damned..." when a fellow right beside me, after the train had left, offered to pick it up before the next train came (which was a block away) and without waiting for a proper answer from me (Granted I'd told him that he didn't have to), jumped down and picked it up and gave it back to me. He then declared to me as we got on the next train that that was the best job he'd done all year. :)
