February Weekends = Gone

My weekends in February are totally booked up. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just odd how that happens sometimes. In fact, it's probably the best month for that to happen since it is my most hated month. First of all, it's pronounced funny. Why is that first "r" there? I can't help but pronounce it, though I think many people probably call it "Feb-u-ary". I wish I could. Second, it's the month where I'm really starting to be done with this whole "Winter" thing. Third, there's the whole Valentine's Day thing, which is no good. I think three reasons is sufficient. What's your most hated month? This blog has really deteriorated - it's like the Sun newspaper of blogging.

Come to think of it...I think all of my weekends are booked until May! More on that later, if you're lucky.

Also - Egypt! WHOA! I said to a friend that I thought watching a potential revolution unfold was very cool. Hearing about people dying and getting beaten is, of course, not cool; but watching a population collectively stand up for what they believe will be a better future is really remarkable. And encouraging. Think we could get away with that here? Can we demand Harper step down after his five years of tyranny? Maybe I'll just write a letter to my MP...

I just visited the Globe and Mail website (you'll be pleased to hear that they got rid of the front and centre "Reader Comments" that I previously posted about) and discovered an article entitled "Hosni goes back to the Mu-Barracks". While part of me definitely groaned, the other part was not-so-secretly very pleased with their little word play. Good work G&M!
