you're a dick!!

thx guys!

my first show! with moe.ron! candidagowhatsitcalled! excited!

i hope i don't get in trouble for posting this in the main forum, but does anyone know if/how we can stream the FIFA games? first one is during class tomorrow and i'm going to watch it with my students. hopefully!

I appreciate what you're saying, zero. I have a good friend from Mexico [from Monterrey, actually] - same guy Ms. Hux is referring to. He's been here in Ottawa for two years but his family is all in Monterrey. His dad got car-jacked a few months ago, his mom got mugged in a hospital corridor. He is deeply upset and concerned about what is happening in his country... don't know where I'm going with this except to say I hope the power goes back where it belongs ASAP, in Mexico and Jamaica. So sad.

as a PS - I think Felipe Calderon is a good guy. As he put it when he was being interviewed by Mansbridge last week when he was visiting Canada [Mansbridge threw him some hardballs, too] - it's tough to be the country south of the biggest drug consumers - in his words, the Americans are using his windows and doors to buy/sell their drugs. He is not turning a blind eye to corruption in the institutions as pretty much everyone seems to have until now and I say good on him.

and a PPS - we are lucky to have police that we [more or less] can trust. big time.

my 3 cents!

good on 'em!

i fell asleep! booooooooooooo...

or at least, some band playing stevie wonder music at irene's pub this saturday. sounds intriguing to me!!!

i have a BBQ tonight but i'll try!

yes. just checked it out with my students and we think it rocks.

arrested development!!! looks awesome. hopefully i can get on some sweet volunteer crews again!!

god bless.

does that mean it's at the mercury lounge???

two of my favourite things! wish i could ditch work this PM. will definitely have to make it down before the 23rd!

oh how i love beau's. if you haven't joined the 'beau's army' on facebook... do it!

here's what i got from them this morning:

BEAU’S was recently commissioned by the Dutch Embassy to create a special beer to mark the 65th anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands.

The beer named “Vriendenâ€, which is Dutch for “friends†and you can raise a glass this afternoon. The kegs will be tapped & the Vrienden will start flowing ...TODAY at 2pm exclusively at the House of Orange (56 Byward Market Square) until May 23rd.

We're doing a keg tapping thingy at 2pm - skip work and come say hi to a few vriendens!

A true Canadian/Dutch collaboration, this unique Belgian-style wit bier, was brewed with ingredients representing The Netherlands and Canada - juniper berries and organic maple syrup, respectively.

Hope you can stop by & raise a glass of Vrienden.

i don't know if any of the american guys are on the board, but a big thank you to them for keeping us supplied with beer and for hosting us in their room til the next afternoon. chad, sean, armand, you guys rock.

and nero, i love you, too!!!

yeah!!!!!!!!!

when will animal cruelty be 'appropriate'? i don't think that one will change much.

sweet lineup. wow.

yeah i agree it's not perfect YT, it could probably use some amendments. the idea of people out there who do these fucked up things just sickens me and i do not think *this* is an appropriate expression of 'free speech.'

i'm resting up tonight!!! bedtime very soon.

i have to go to a work dinner thingy tomorrow night but it will all start with after-work beers around 3:30... from there things might get a little crazy over the 12-16 hours which follow...

PS remember to pace yourself!! i always end up a bag of smashed ass for the sat nite show.

i was thinkin' that too dinghy! they'd be a great addition.

looks great to me!!!! woohoooo!
