Feels like home – I got a parking ticket yesterday. This is what I get for wondering out loud if I should take down my Wall of Shame; the city is telling me loud and clear “hell no”. The only good thing I can see about this entire stupid situation is that Cool Harbour parking tickets are less expensive than Yuppie Town – $30 instead of $40. Hooray? Damn city, where the hell am I supposed to park my scooter?

Yesterday I wrote a letter of complaint. While I do complain a lot, I rarely take action on these complaints because let’s face it, I am but one wee round girl who is about as threatening as a kitten covered in glitter. This time though, I was simply bursting with righteous ire and really had nothing better to do, so I wrote an email to Nintendo to give them the What For.

On the “Everybody Votes” channel for the Wii, some genius submitted – and somehow got approved – the question “What do Canadians say more?” with the two options being “eh” and “sorry”. What the fuck, Nintendo. Stereotyping is Not Nice. I fired off an email asking why they were picking on Canadians, and more importantly, if I were to submit a question along the lines of “what do Americans enjoy more; getting fat or shooting guns?” would it get approved. See? Not nice. Canadians are (supposedly) all polite and stuff; we’re probably the only country you could throw a blatant stereotype like that at and we wouldn’t threaten to bomb you back to the stone ages create an uproar on CNN stage a protest get really angry about it. It surprised me to see, and none of us are planning on answering the question – 4 people out of millions; THAT’LL show them who’s boss.

They are.

So, while I have a wee ass marble at Nintendo, nothing short of death by mutant hobos can stop me from me being SO EXCITED about the release of Diner Dash for the DS next week. If I had a calendar, I would totally circle the date in red. SO EXCITED!

I wonder if I’m going to be “fired” tomorrow.
