High-Speed Rail in Canada
This article was what I was talking about over the weekend.
Now, if only we had the visionary leaders like those in the US, some action might happen. But no, Parliament thinks it is okay to not work until March. Prorogue - a jargon term to alienate the general public. Pfft.
First Song
A song came to me in a dream just randomly a few weeks ago. It's a song that I haven't heard in a long while - like probably a few years - and I don't know why it just popped up one night as I slept.
I've been looking for a song to learn to tide me over as I learn piano technique from "less interesting" songs. The song I dreamt is called "Reminiscence - Feelings Not Erased" from Chrono Cross (sequel to Chrono Trigger) - a series focusing on time travel and changing the past. Released in 2000, the game certainly brings back pleasant and harsh memories. In the game, the song was played at a beach as two characters stare out over the water uncertain of their future together (oh, and gathering stupid shells for the girlfriend, haha).
Then the suggestion of picking a song and learning it was reiterated to me this past weekend when some graduates from out-of-town visited, which was awesome by the way. And they too reminisced on old times studying in the library and hanging out.
So, yeah, I guess I'll learn this one. It's been tough getting into the material I'm learning but music has been good to me.
