Updated

After much harassment buy she who will not be named (Leah), I have decided to update. However, I think it’s just because I don’t want to write another word on my essay. A post-structuralist look at wrestling is a bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be. Good thing it only has [...]

Moving

I have spent my entire Labour Day long weekend helping my mom and brother move into my grandpa’s house. I am tired and more or less sick of cleaning. I am proud of my mom though. She’s toughing it out there because in the end she will save a lot of money not paying rent/mortgage [...]

Olympics

I am not sure how I feel about the Chinese faking the fireworks during the Olympics Opening Ceremony. I thought it was really well done and more than likely not even noticed they were fake/ missing anything. So I think either they should have a) not told us they lied or b) not faked them [...]

On Saturday Carson and I bought a lovebird.  Everyone I have told went, “what, why did you get a bird and not a REAL pet”. Well, I actually wasn’t a bird person myself; I had a traumatic experience at Petland about a month ago, that involved a beak, blood and tears. I am a wimp, [...]

Tea Appreciation:

I love tea. There is something so comforting about it. I am quite fond of Tetley teas, they are always excellent. Also, Superstore’s (a chain grocers) President’s Choice brand makes some nice teas too for example:
This one is delicious.
The Tetley Rooibos doesn’t contain vanilla but comes in a tin with a snap close lid so it always [...]

Democracy

Mugabe has ruined Zimbabwe. I almost believed that this past election would be the one to get him out of office. I don’t know why I believed that. His domestic and foreign policies have done nothing but further Zimbabwe backwards.  His argument that imperialism caused all the problems Zimbabwe has doesn’t work anymore. Yes, imperialism [...]
