First, thanks to everyone who came out last night. It really meant a lot to me, and, no worries, I'll be back before you know it.

Now, on to more important things. I should have plugged this earlier, but I various things (sleeping, packing, eating, guys saying "Look, over there!") distracted me. On CBC tonight (in about 10 minutes), Test the Nation is on. I normally wouldn't care, but this is the special that involved my brother being flown down to Toronto to tape this last March.

It's also the reason he's quoted in today's Journal saying "[English teachers are] the guardians of the English language."

I can't wait to see that come back and bite him on the ass.

Hey all - the tutoring place I am working for is looking for people to teach English and ESL classes on Saturdays. We are open 9:30-4 though you'd have a say in exactly when and how many hours you teach. I don't know a lot about the new program that we are using this year, but last year's was really good - lessons were practically planned for you. The kids are good and you'll only have 2-3 at a time. If any of you with a B.A. or B.Ed are interested, or know someone who is, let me know! Pay is $15/hour plus $1/hour per finished degree.

that's a very good question, that I think should be left up to someone else answering... mostly because I don't know it, I just know where to drive!

sorry Leo.

for those of us who don't know, but what's andy's address?

okay... so, uh...


word came down from on high
essentially telling us that, well,
there shall be no go-karting...
or at least not at 4pm.

PARAS CON HAS BEEN MOVED TO ANDY'S HOUSE
so go there, and stay dry (or drier)
but, well, you should delay your arrival at casa de Thompson, as Par and Roo and Pam are going to the Whitemud to collect any stragglers who think go-karting in the rain would be fun and bring them over...

Immediate first impression of IT Crowd (1:58 in): "Home Sewing is Killing Fashion" poster = kickass.

flash mob pillow fight in WEM

yes!

alive... but very drunk... on 3 1/2 beers... I have NO idea how that happened... maybe I need to eat something...


I'm acutally disappointed. I want to go grocery shopping, but now I can't drive! I guess I need to plan these things better... no going out with my lab and then all the grad students (and randomly meeting up with former classmates that buy you beverages) when you want to DO stuff in the evening...



slowly... I'll sober up... but, as Jesse pointed out, not in time for DVAS... and maybe not even in time for groceries :( hopefully in time to get some supper into me though.

She was alive at lunch...

Crap!!! Dietzche V. & the Abominable Snowman cd release party tonight! And I am freaken sick. apparently I am sleeping through it.... ho hum. see you tomorrow at least for a bit. gnight
