Things I've learned working on a site that needs a French translation of its content:

• The French term for "link" is "lien." There's something I like about that. Seems fitting.


• There are way more apostrophes used in French than in English. Thank sed for find-and-replace.

Taking an idea too far:

One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: "I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually."

...

"When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals."

So here is the plan for Heritage days

When: 1:30 PM Saturday

Where: We need a country that doesn't favor anyone so I choose the neutral country of Spain.

Who: You, me and anyone else that shows up

How: Park and ride or if you want we can carpool park at the U and walk down. Either way will work.

Why: Long weekend!

Don't worry if you can't come exactly on time, we'll be there a while and you can phone my cell at: 221-6414

See you all there!

That's so exciting Dana (and Jere). Congratz!

Yay! I'm so excited. Jere and I decided to go to San Francisco for a honeymoon!

where's the met? New York?

No match. I guess it could have been worse. I can't think of how, though, short of Lowe going scorched earth and, I don't know, stabbing Hemsky in both eyes. I know he's going to get fired sooner or later, burning the future (in terms of cap room and draft picks) on a longshot just makes it that much worse.

Oh, and in what's increasingly become a support group, there's street hockey at Lister Hall Sunday at 2:00. Come. Play. Commiserate.

Tay, you'd love the Met. You could probably spend three days there (I know I would have gone for a couple if I could have), but it's massive and, depending on your timing with respect to what they put out, you'd probably see that whole list of artists there. (Would that I could remember more than a few names, but I'm bad enough with them on a small scale, and this place was simply an art-splosion.)

And it's also admission by donation (though they suggest $20 for an adult).

that was the one thing I didn't do when I was in Vancouver. I had a really good time doing everything else, but damn if I'm not jealous of you Talor... all those famous artists together in one place...

any stand-out pieces in your opinion?



hell, what am I complaining about? I got to see a Klimt exhibition in Paris...

still... Dali would've been awesome.

Hmm... maybe I should have answered 'yes' when the guy saying he was calling on behalf of the Prime Minister asked me if I was a supporter of the Conservative Party. At least it might have led to an explanation for the call, instead of him just thanking me for my time and hanging up...
