Slowly going crazy

I would like to know the ratio , for the people who voted Conservative, whether the actually wanted a Conservative government or whether they just didnt want a Liberal government. They won by 6%. Is that more than what the Liberals won by last time? Do you think the NDP and the new Liberals will gang together to "topple" this new government? You know, just for revenge. "You topple us, we topple you, basterds." From the CBC, Stephen "LEGOman" Harper speaking on the minority victory.

They have asked us to co-operate, to work together. And to get on with tackling the real concerns of ordinary working people and their families. I look forward to working with all of the parties.

Please. You didnt cooperate before! You certainly didnt work together. For that matter, it also makes mee think about the number of NDP votes. They gained 10 seats. Thats a lot. But did those people really want NDP or did they not want Liberal?

Apropos of nothing these are the 3 things that have been constantly cycling through my head for the past 6 weeks.

• I should save up to get a new computer. My laptop is 5 years old and its pretty slow and old and stupid. The little button that turns off the screen is acting up. Its pissing me off. So I want a new one.
• I should save up to put a downpayment on a new(ish) car. I don't own a car of my own and it would be cool to have one. Something I picked out, that I want, in the colour I want, with the extra features I want (or don't want).
• I should save up to buy an old car. Or my mom's car. What do I really need a car for? I drive a total of 8 minutes to and from work, I go out to get groceries and the mail, I drive into the city about once every 6 weeks. Why do I need a new car when an old one will do?

This cyle is driving me nuts! Some days I lean more towards the new car, other days is the old car. Most day's its the new computer. In terms of what would make me happy, getting a new computer would be top on the list. In terms of investments, what an "adult" would do, it would be the new car. AHHH! I am going crazy over here!
