Don't be fooled

So - for the first long weekend (that I've ever made real notice of) - the gas prices DROPPED on the Friday and remained STEADY through the whole weekend - only to DROP again on Wednesday.

Gas was 95.2 all weekend long through the city of Toronto - with 94.9 popping up here and there from the smaller gas stations. And then it dropped even lower after remaining steady for four days through a long weekend.

What is in store for the drivers of North America? Should we be optimistic of realistic gas prices making a comeback? Or are they (the profit guzzling gas companies/and government) setting us up for something else?

Cause once more people move to hybrid vehicles - and ultimately use less gas - which in turn means less profit - what will happen to the once ever soaring gas prices to compensate for the drop in fuel dependancy?

And by the way - don't be fooled. 92.9 isn't cheap. But thanks to successful gas hikes - the gas companies have made us out to believe that we are getting a deal once the cost drops below a dollar/liter.

Mind games - it's all mind games.


So - i'm without internet at home while I await my mid-month move (yay). I'm also living in and out of boxes. Not my favorite state. But it will be really nice once I'm settled in at my new humble abode for the next 11months before New Zealand.

:)

So much to catch up on. I have post its with blurbs to inscribe on my blog one day.

Weddings, in promptu trips, picnics in the park, softball fridays, summer road trips, shopping for pots and dishes (sadly, i was excited about getting the new ones!!! the old ones were kaput!), etc.

Our creepy Transformers experience - classic horror movie moment.

BTW - I have been to four movies lately this summer in theatres - and they were all gold in their own respects. Knocked up - funny. Transformers - the most beautiful integration of CGI and film to date. Ratatouille - cute and typical Pixar. Bourne Ultimatum - great action.

Renters haven't been terrible either. The Station Agent. Invincible (i love football movies!!!).


Working long hours. Working hard. Looking forward to the hiatus at the end of the month (although, it hasn't been confirmed if post production gets one or not).


Just busy. Loving it. Can't believe the summer is almost over - and once the CNE pops up - i'll want to cry...cause that'll be the end.


To those who still follow this blog - I promise more pictures and posts once I'm settled in.
