Permalink to this day Wednesday, July 10, 2002

We bought our tickets today ($1500x2). We leave Aug 9th and I get back Aug 26th. I think our plan is to see Lisbon, head to the south of Spain, cross over to Morocco, go to Fez then Marrakesh, do a small trek (4300m peak?) and then see how much time we have left. I don't think we'll make it to northern Spain this time around.

I love stories of when readers of my weblog collide.

For instance did any of you bump into Rannie at an HMV in Toronto?

I believe our house (located on Erb St, air conditioned, keg fridge, wireless Internet, garage, 2 bathrooms,...) will have two openings this fall:

  • One year lease starting Fall 2002.
  • One year lease starting Fall 2002 w/guaranteed winter sublet (or we might take you for just fall).

Email me if interested.

In other housing news my property tax is going up 5% to pay for the RIM Park financing scandal, another 1% in more park related expansion and another 2.2% for inflation. So say goodbye to affordable housing funding because it's been axed to pay for a bloody $150mil park located in suburbia. And yes you should care because this will increase what you pay in rent.

We just paid $10.51 ($5 handling fee + $5.51 in tax) to receive two CDs from the States. This is pure fucking madness. I'm going to exercise our right to file an informal request because for $10.51 I should get something more than a kick in the ass.

And a $5 handling fee on every item that crosses the border is ridiculous.

I also don't understand how I've never had to pay tax+handling fee on any Amazon.com purchases while I'm always getting dinged for CDs.
