Do yourselves a favour and label your recycling bins with your name or your house number!

Yesterday was so windy that my recycling bin was nowhere in sight. A few houses down I noticed one that could very well be mine but it was at the end of his driveway.

I was thinking of taking it but his kids were looking out the window at me. I didn’t want to accidentally steal the neighbour’s recycling box (heck, I haven’t even met these neighbours yet!) so I left it there.

But now I am out of a box.

On another note, when I got up this morning, in its place was an older recycling bin. Perhaps the neighbour upgraded and is offering me the old one?

In the news today: Isaac Hayes leaves South Park due to them making fun of religions. Read here.

Well…Matt Stone has an interesting comment about how he never said anything until they made fun of Isaac Hayes religion – Scientology last season.

So there you have it folks.

Why doesn’t Mr. Hayes just say it like it is? “I want to leave the show because you made fun of MY religion.”

No one would poke fun at him for that. Now he just is a little lower in the book of Palmer.

For some reason, the photo upload isn’t working for me this morning so don’t mind the bland entries.

Tomorrow I have my oral french examination. I must say that I haven’t really prepared for it, but at the same time, I didn’t think I would need to. It’s just speaking in French! At first I felt that I should just wing it as it would give me a true sense of what my French speaking abilities are…but Vero brought up a good point as to how people still prepare for a presentation…to know what they are going to say to an answer.

So today, I’ll think about what I’m going to say in response to questions such as:

• What do you do for a living?
• Do you have any pets?
• Describe how Matt is the uber-geek

All this thinking of French makes my mind wander back to Paris. Man, I loved that town! It was fun times over there. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Who here knew that Slash’s real name is Saul Hudson.

Saul is pretty rockin’ name if you ask me. Who needs Slash?

After all the hoopla which is Roll Up The Rim To Win and the court cases going on, I’ve made it a point to look at empty Tim Horton’s cups (alright, more specifically, send Vero off to the side of the road to check them.)

While walking on Saturday, we came across 5 empty cups in the span of 100 metres. Then I thought “Holy crap, that’s a heck of a lot of garbage just being thrown away.”

I am calling on all litterers out there! Tell me your stories of why you are so unbelievably moronic that you would just go ahead and chuck your trash on the ground instead of holding onto it for a little while until you came across a trashbin.

Litterers, you are what I like to refer to as the scum of the Earth. Literally. You’re like the Tim Horton’s cup that has decomposed in the middle of a field over 5 months. That’s right…just to the point where it’s a sloppy mess and not dried up enough to blow away in the wind.

What’s going through your mind? “Oh, didn’t win, may as well chuck it. I’m sticking it to the man for not letting me win!” Well in this case, the man is the environment, and you sir, are stupid.

Anyhow, back onto my train of thought, I was thinking that I made Vero pick up these cups to check the status of the winnings, but then we just left them there. I should start carrying around a plastic bag in the offchance that I want to send Vero rooting through garbage.

It’s the least I can do for the environment!

Want to see how insane the world was years ago?

Let me put it in a nicer way…want to see how politically correct the world is NOW?

Go see the Weapons of Mass Dissemination exhibit at the Canadian War Museum. In there, you will see myriad posters from across the world which tell people what they should do during war times.

Some of the more crazier ones were the child’s games: Kill the Jap.

Unbelievable stuff really. This gallery of propaganda was interesting in the fact that they showed more violent images than you see in a Faces of Death video. I then thought about how people nowadays are worried that their kids are seeing WAY too much violence around the world, but then I think of them seeing these freakin’ posters up in their community. Yowza. Or, as the French say: “Wha-ta-ta-tow!”

I would like to see the PR people for the Governments create posters and commercials like THESE for the war against terrorism. Not some posters with penguins. (note, if I could find a picture of this, I would.)

Highly recommended exhibit. Go on a Sunday and get in for $5.

Other than that, we started on the adventure which was the rest of the War Museum and quickly gave up. We spent an hour inside the Propaganda exhibit…there’s no way we would be up for absorbing more history for the day. The museum is definitely a multi-trip adventure.
