There is so much commercialism around Christmas time that its good to think about those less fortunate. I read about this in the newspaper. Its a website that a parent originally developed to test his son’s vocabulary in preparation for exams. So for every word that you guess right, 20 grains of rice are donated to United Nations. It’s all free since there are corporate sponsors for the site. Try it! It builds your vocabulary, donations are free and its even fun.

This is a work in progress. It was published in error. Kate Bush Hiroshima Peter Gabriel Joe Jackson Tori Amos Jane Siberry Pat Metheny Steely Dan Elvis Costello Michael McDonald Earth, Wind & Fire Suzanne Vega Sarah Slean/Lynn Harrison Paul let me his 2 travel guide books which I started to read. I’m starting to get excited. We had to replace the torsion spring on our garage door. This meant that we couldn’t use our car until the service guy came. We could have lifted the garage door manually but its a 10×7′ door. Its like having your car locked in. Eric went to the Chinese Embassy to get his visa today. Adam is singing Chinese songs now. Terra had her pet white rat with her today. I’m trying not to be biased against it. I’m fine as long as it in its travel case. Where: Saturday, we went out for lunch at a restaurant Indo-Chyna on Ossington that served Chinese, Vietnamese & Thai food. It had only been opened for 2 months. It had 2 wonderful paintings on the wall, one depicting a woman sitting down on the grass with a bowl of fruit. It was sorta like a retro vintage advertisement with a plain background. The rest of the wall were plain. There was also french music playing in the background. Imagine Stevie Wonder sung in French by a woman. Who: David, his old manager Greg who is now his co-author. Greg’s girlfriend, Indira and her sister Sonia We had Eric’s girlfriend stay with us for a week. Terra is Korean so we had to explain some of the food items. And that in her family, they use food leftovers to make sushi just like we use leftover to make fried rice. It was a fun having another female in the house. June 30th. David got us great seats for her concert at the Music Hall which is close to home and a small venue. We were in row D, #14,15 meaning close to the stage and center. I told David that it was BG crowd since most people were grey and bald. Not surprisingly since Rickie Lee is 52. She is not aging well. I always find it surprising that her singing voice is different from her speaking voice. She had a lot of problems with her sound mix, we couldn’t hear her vocals. She is still a rocker chick but does other stuff like ballads, uses a bow on her electric guitar ( it was a good thing that the stage hand got her floor cushions) like a cello. Her bass player was good too. Using our monthly free Rogers rental coupon, David pick out Syrianna. George Clooney gained 35 lbs, grew a beard and shaved back his hairline for this movie. He really didn’t look himself but Matt Damon looked good. It was disjointed, non-linear with constant subtitles making it hard to follow if you weren’t watching intently. It depicted how disfranchised and disillusioned youth can easily be manipulated into suicide bombers, you can’t trust governments, money and oil is the root of all evil. Since the logo of this blog is swordflowers (aka gladiolas), I wanted a purple gladiola. I could only find 3 images from flickr. Gladiolas are typically vertical flowers however the posted photo is a wild species. I think the photo was taken in Israel. If you want to know why I picked swordflower as a name, read the ‘about’ header. |
