My favourite colour
I've been out of my apartment for about a month now, since I've been working down in New York and Boston. As some of you know, I share a 2 bedroom with 2 other people...a girl lives in the Solarium/Living Room. Well, the old girl moved out at the end of October and a new girl has since moved in...This weekend was the first chance I've had to survey the damage. A full report follows:
- Our kitchen is fairly small, with very limited cupboard and counter space. We may have a equivalent shelf-space of roughly 12 "shelf units". I've previously been using one and a half shelf unit for my own stuff...a shelf for my plates, bowls and mugs and a half a shelf for my cups. Our new friend is now occupying FOUR ENTIRE SHELVES with cups. Yup, there must be 30 cups in there if there's 5. All different shapes, sizes and varieties.
- Oh, and there's also what I'd say is a shelf and a half's worth of George Foreman grill. Like...You're probably thinking "those are small shelf units you've got Greg..", but you'd be wrong. This thing is the size of a barbeque. You could fit a MINIMUM of 8 hamburgers on this thing. You could feed 14 hungry kids using this grill. Good thing there are only 3 of us here.
- She loves the maple leafs. The kitchen has a new Maple Leafs theme with assorted blue and white Leaf's hand towels places strategically throughout. And the living room has a full sized team jersey on display. I think I'll be watching the Ottawa-Toronto games from Laura's place.
- She has enough furniture to equip a 4 bedroom house. And it's all in our living room.
- Last, but not least ladies and gentlemen is the bathroom. Definitely not for the faint of heart. This is one of those times I wish I had a digital camera, because I would LOVE to be able to show you the damage. This thing is bright pink from top to bottom. Shower curtains, floor mats, soap holder, cup, toothbrush holder, garbage can, tall CANDLE, 2 towels, 2 fru-fru hand towels with white lace. It actually radiates light even when the light in the bathroom is turned off. The whole room has this radiant pink glow when the light's are on. It actually hurts my eyes. PINK. and nothing but pink.

This is the problem with your Liberal shelf planning. Clearly 12 shelves are too many for three people. This is just another example of big government shelf waste. The responsible thing to do is to reduce the amount of shelf space and pass the savings on to the kitchen users.
It's time to cut the fat.
