I just read a really interessting article in the National Post... it was on diamond mining and these two Canadian Women, who found a giant deposit in Nunavut. It was really cool how they got to "live in the bush" and not care about how they looked, then come back to the city and get all dressed up for work and parties... plus, the got to work with rocks!!! I love geology!!! Rocks, rocks and more rocks! I think I wanna be a geologist when I'm older, but I'm not too sure... 'cause as you may have noticed, I also really love philosophy and auto tech... and astronomy, and history, and anthropology...and dance and circus arts too... you get what I'm saying??? I love way to many things... I honnestly can't decide what I want to be... I only know that I absolutely have to travel...

... speaking of auto tech, while I was at the auto show, I saw some really, really neat cars... one of the concept cars the KCV-1 by Kia was completely and totally computerized... instead of sideview mirrors, it had cameras that transmited the images to a screen on your dashboard!!! There was also this car made almost entirely out of fiber glass!!! Jaguar had an "all aluminum" car called and XJ that was painted this magnificent shade of teal... and the car itself was just gorgeous... there was a rather entertaining concept car by Mazda, it looked kind of old fashioned and was called the "secret hideout"... all of it's seats folded down to make a flat surface, and as the lady standing next to me said "I wouldn't want to go on a date in that car, you know what the guy would be thinking!" at which point I just started cracking up, especially because her husband was just standing there staring at her... another car that had me cracking up was the BMW Z8... with all it's features it cost approx. $200 000... and here's the funny part... it used 17.6 litres/100 km of gas in city driving... and it was only a V8 engine!!! not only do you have to hand over your life savings to pay for the car, but you go broke paying for the gas with todays prices too!!!

... All in all I had a really great time... as you may have noticed from my earlier post... it was especially funny on the ride home where we took two subways, the RT and a bus and didn't have to pay for any of it... that was really, really (I use that word a lot) strange, and I'm still not sure how we managed it...

Well, Aurevoir,
