the whole world stops and stares for a while

so i really need to think of some things to think of for christmas! any ideas? cool things you've seen, or that you want for christmas that i could want too?!

so far, i'm asking for:

- a shoe rack
- a toque
- books (girl with the dragon tattoo series)
- skin for my computer
- a la senza, grocery, or gas gift card
- a bracelet (maybe?)

- my favorite pictures all printed out (i just don't like picking my own gifts and knowing what i'll get :/)
- a nice coat from ricki's (once again, see above)
- snowboard - (got that already)

so today, i was at work. working away productively (on the phone with the veterinarian) and i got an email, saying "theres been a seriosu bomb threat nearby, everyone is to lock the doors and evactuate" from soemone in our main branch downtown, and she sent it to all branches and i was like HOLY CRAP and i all but hung up on the vet, and ran around frantically locking doors while my heart was pounding out a beat that rivaled a kindergarten percussion practice. thankfully, it turned out that this woman, whilst panicking, forgot the key point, that only a portion of downtown was being evacuated, and that us in the valleyview branch really had nothing to worry about. it sound serious, however. they're flying in the bomb squad from vancouver, and everything is still evacated. apparently they discovered a suspicious package that looked sort of like a tool case, with wires sticking out of it, right by a gas pipeline, and another "suspicious object" in a pipe nearby. but its really probably nothing. i figure if the bomber reall wanted to cause some havoc, he'd be exploding the thing asap, not waiting until the bomb squad gets there and everything has been 100% evacuated and nearly resolved. like come one, he's got to be listening to the radio right?

we'll see how it goes. the bomb squad is supposed to get here around 2 or 3. its 2 right now, but all thats on the radio is chris daughtry. OOOH THE bomb squad is in the air! should be here within a half hour apparently, but the RCMP estimates that that part of the city will be on lockdown like 3 more hours.

but i'm really gettign sick of not publishing this just so i can listen to bad radio hoping for news, so i think if you want to hear the end of the story you'll just have to watch the news! tah for now.
