My cousin-in-law’s father has created something of genius and is now available to the mass market.

Take a look at this garden that you can have inside your house!

In preparation of my French oral examination today (I got a B by the way!), Eric and Mike treated me to the film Les Boys, which is essentially the french equivalent to Slapshot.

It was awesome. I didn’t catch every nuance but I would have to say that I may have enjoyed it more than Slapshot. Speaking about Slapshot, Vero told me that the French overdubbed version is better than the English version just because of the sheer hilarity of it.

Les Boys follows an amateur hockey league somewhere in Quebec (maybe in Montreal) and the lives of all the different players. The manager gets into some financial trouble and the team has to help him out by winning a hockey game.

My favourite line in the movie is when Sonia is on top of Mario in a van and says:
Sonia: “You know this is a team effort, right?”
Mario:”Sorry, this is my first time.”
Sonia:”This is your first time with a woman?”
Mario:”No, it’s my first time missing a hockey game!”

Hilarious.

Check out this film. Even if you have to put the English sub-titles on. This is a piece of Franco history.

Do yourselves a favour and label your recycling bins with your name or your house number!

Yesterday was so windy that my recycling bin was nowhere in sight. A few houses down I noticed one that could very well be mine but it was at the end of his driveway.

I was thinking of taking it but his kids were looking out the window at me. I didn’t want to accidentally steal the neighbour’s recycling box (heck, I haven’t even met these neighbours yet!) so I left it there.

But now I am out of a box.

On another note, when I got up this morning, in its place was an older recycling bin. Perhaps the neighbour upgraded and is offering me the old one?

In the news today: Isaac Hayes leaves South Park due to them making fun of religions. Read here.

Well…Matt Stone has an interesting comment about how he never said anything until they made fun of Isaac Hayes religion – Scientology last season.

So there you have it folks.

Why doesn’t Mr. Hayes just say it like it is? “I want to leave the show because you made fun of MY religion.”

No one would poke fun at him for that. Now he just is a little lower in the book of Palmer.

For some reason, the photo upload isn’t working for me this morning so don’t mind the bland entries.

Tomorrow I have my oral french examination. I must say that I haven’t really prepared for it, but at the same time, I didn’t think I would need to. It’s just speaking in French! At first I felt that I should just wing it as it would give me a true sense of what my French speaking abilities are…but Vero brought up a good point as to how people still prepare for a presentation…to know what they are going to say to an answer.

So today, I’ll think about what I’m going to say in response to questions such as:

• What do you do for a living?
• Do you have any pets?
• Describe how Matt is the uber-geek

All this thinking of French makes my mind wander back to Paris. Man, I loved that town! It was fun times over there. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Who here knew that Slash’s real name is Saul Hudson.

Saul is pretty rockin’ name if you ask me. Who needs Slash?

After all the hoopla which is Roll Up The Rim To Win and the court cases going on, I’ve made it a point to look at empty Tim Horton’s cups (alright, more specifically, send Vero off to the side of the road to check them.)

While walking on Saturday, we came across 5 empty cups in the span of 100 metres. Then I thought “Holy crap, that’s a heck of a lot of garbage just being thrown away.”

I am calling on all litterers out there! Tell me your stories of why you are so unbelievably moronic that you would just go ahead and chuck your trash on the ground instead of holding onto it for a little while until you came across a trashbin.

Litterers, you are what I like to refer to as the scum of the Earth. Literally. You’re like the Tim Horton’s cup that has decomposed in the middle of a field over 5 months. That’s right…just to the point where it’s a sloppy mess and not dried up enough to blow away in the wind.

What’s going through your mind? “Oh, didn’t win, may as well chuck it. I’m sticking it to the man for not letting me win!” Well in this case, the man is the environment, and you sir, are stupid.

Anyhow, back onto my train of thought, I was thinking that I made Vero pick up these cups to check the status of the winnings, but then we just left them there. I should start carrying around a plastic bag in the offchance that I want to send Vero rooting through garbage.

It’s the least I can do for the environment!
