Take me back to the weather, fool...

Okay, I get that my company has to cut some costs in order to fully invest in the various things that are supposedly going to save the company, but this is kind of crazy. We used to have a link to the weather channel at work. Now we have this thing called 'Simple Weather', which basically tells you about as much as you could figure out by sticking your head out the front door. If you think I'm kidding, check out the guys who run it (presumably out of their frat house).

Nice graphics guys!

are we just cheap dates or un-cultured??

From the Economist
"ICELAND spends proportionately more on culture and recreation than other rich countries, with private and public spending together touching 10% of GDP. Its government lavishes over twice as much as others on providing sports, arts and recreational facilities for its citizens. Britons splashed out most on household items such as tickets to sports and arts events, CDs and DVDs, gardening and pets. Generally, wealthier countries devote more disposable income to leisure pursuits; Ireland is an exception."

Introducing...

Once more your dear sister is proving she is ahead of the curve...this is Marc Andre Grondin. Yes, he is French-Canadian. Yes, he will be in one of Soderbergh's two Che films. Yes he is awesome. Was in a FC film called CRAZY, which is quite excellent. Actually watched it a year ago, but I think I read in the trades that he booked another role. Presuming that he starts taking more English speaking movies, he will live up to the title as the Canadian Gael Garcia Bernal. take note (just like we did with White Teeth oh way back when...)

Very, very blonde...

...is the color hair de notre mere maintenent. It's not a little bit disturbing. I keep telling her it looks 'cute' with a manic grin plastered across my face.

remind me never to have twins.....

"you're just going to feel a lot of pressure" said the OB soothingly to the mother, right below she stuck her arm up to the elbow into the woman's uterus a la James Herriot to remove the 2nd twin who was of course, breech. the baby was delivered, with difficulty, in a huge gush of blood, butt first.
it was at this point that my medical student turned as green as the scrubs she was wearing and had to leave the OR. poor thing had never seen a delivery before and i am pretty sure after seeing that, will never have sex again.

reunited at last

with my dear car. finally. soooo happy.
