So I’ve been in Oshawa a few weeks now and there really hasn’t been anything that notable in the city. I think I’m settled into my work now, though it might not be for long. The UAW in the US is striking, affecting all of the GM related plants. The strike started yesterday and it is beginning to affect Canadian plants, including the two car plants which are shut down. I am at the Truck plant which is still open though the media notes we only have parts for the next 3 days. I’m not sure what will happen given my position as a co-op student, but I’m sure I’ll hear closer to possible shutdown date.

Tonight are the premieres of both House and Boston Legal, my two most favourite dramas currently on TV. I only have watched the occasional episode of Boston Legal since The Practice ended but I really got hooked on it recently. I’m still catching up on past seasons so I’m hesitant to watch the new season.

For those who enjoy internet memes, I’ve been enjoying ‘lolsecretz‘. It’s a mash up of Lolcats/I can has cheezburger? and PostSecret.

I’ve been blogging about the Ontario General Election and if you’d rather just read those posts you can go to jeffaho.com/election. Feel free to post a topic if you’d like me to talk about it or comment on existing topics. For more election coverage go to pulse.feds.ca/election.

I guess it is noteworthy that the Canadian dollar hit parity with the US dollar last week. It makes it more tempting to visit Boston for the Thanksgiving weekend, though I may just go to Ottawa instead. It has been a while since I’ve been back (hmm…I can’t recall when I was back since I moved away almost 2 1/2 years ago).
