Pre-Canada Celebrations

The city was abuzz today in anticipation of tomorrow's festivities. Seriously, everyone seemed to be on edge. It didn't help that continuous rain showers kept everyone running for doorways and such. Bonnie and I took in the downtown this afternoon - after, of course, watching Germany dispose of Argentina in penalty kicks. I had the day off (huzzah for stats!) and decided to enjoy myself. We went to the mall, grabbed a coffee at The Second Cup, ate lunch at Dunn's Famous Deli. I had the famous Smoked Meat - just like in Montreal that time after CIs. We walked home, getting rained upon three separate times in the process. It was a great day. Tomorrow begins with the Musical Ride at 10:30 and then chock-full of Canada Day activities, ending with a most spectacular fireworks display (one hopes). Oh, and Go England!

Good News!

Bonnie and I are pleased to report that we are getting married! We are very happy and excited!

Do Not Watch This Movie

Last weekend I watched Nacho Libre, which was fabulously hilarious. Go watch it - now!! But unfortunately there was a preview for another movie - Barnyard, which seems to be the story of a young party cow's adventures. There are two problems with this movie, as you can see from the trailer. First, the protagonist is male, yet he has an udder. A male is either a steer or a bull (if you don't know the difference between those two, shame on you), not a cow. I'm not sure that cartoons should be anatomically correct, but they should not give the audience the impression that cattle are some sort of hermaphroditic animals. Second, the movie suggests that cow-tipping is real. People, you just can't tip a cow. Trust me. I will no longer tolerate this nonsense.
I am extremely aggravated by the misrepresentation of our bovine friends, so stand up for cattle and boycott Barnyard.

Will Ferrell - Bush on Global Warming

Here's something I saw on CBC's The Hour. It's Will Ferrell in old form imitating the president. I won't write any commentary, since Bush is too easy a target. Anyhoo, have fun with Will Ferrell.

New Additions

As you can see, I've added some new links to the blog. I've begun to enjoy checking out music blogs, as they can get you excited about a song and then let you listen to it. So check them out and maybe you'll find some music you'll like. At the very least you'll be able to hear "what all the kids are listening to" these days. In other news, the Oilers begin their quest for the Stanley Cup tonight against the Hurricanes (I am extremely confident that the Oilers can pull this off). Also, I have started biking to work. It's great excercise and it really wakes me up in the morning. It also beats having to pay $71 for a monthly bus pass. I guess I am doing even more for the environment. Anyhoo, having fun.
