Hi! It's thursday! I like thursdays. Thursday has always been my favourite day. I've never been a big fan of Wednesdays. Tuesdays are okay, they think they are far better than they really are because they come after monday. Monday isn't such a bad day, it would be far more enjoyable if it began an hour later than it did. I dunno about saturday, it's a mini van driving soccer mom who has scheduled too many thing in one day and is too much of a rush to get somewhere that it ends up nowhere.
Next week is the big Kitchener german Christmas Market at city hall. The air will be filled with the smell of smoked pork chops, caramel popcorn, all sorts of goodies. And there will be plenty of german language pop music, the kind with the accordions and the polka type beat...all the songs sound the same and they are in german. And here's the website! I always like to get a few traditional glass German ornaments, especially glass birds. They may not be featured in the latest issue of Martha Stewart, but there's something special about german glass ornaments that makes them trump whatever the latest fad ornament theme. And why not? The christmas tree has its origins in far more ancient german pagan yule traditions.
Last time we met Ben and his english class there and then met up with Dan. This year ben and I will be going later on either thursday of friday evening, meeting Dave and then coming home after spending some time freezing our asses off looking around and shopping. Every year the have the festival during the first big cold spell of the year.
In case you didn't know, today is official Square Dancing Day. As someone who was a kid in school in the late sixties, I was forced to learn square dancing. For some reason square dancing was part of the required curriculum at that time. No one knows why, and it's no longer part of the gym curriculum, but for some reason at one time square dancing was considered essential to a student well rounded education.
What else? Oh yeah Project Runway US featured men's wear! That's a first! Men's wear is much different from women's you can't just drape a bunch of fabric, tack it together and call it a suit. Suits require much more skill and technical ability. It was okay, so far there's nothing really outstanding in this latest incarnation of the show.
And CSI:New York...I am of two minds, first they changed Mac's life story, and it's too bad the whole episode didn't match the intensity of the final ten minutes. It was cute the way the guy used the same laser arrangement Mac used in the Die Hard episode, but I could see the ending coming from a mile away, once they brought the brother in from Chicago I knew he would be the one shot by the elaborate laser trap. All in all, a not too bad conclusion to the 333 story line. I really appreciate that Flack is getting more face time...he's hot.
Dave's going to be home tomorrow! Yay! That's all for now. I have to thread my sewing machines. Bye!
