Wouldn't wanna be ya...

Taking advantage of the beautiful thing called the Internets, I've been perusing the weather back home in Canada. I notice that Toronto has a low of -10 with snow and a windchill of -22. Jeez that certainly makes me feel better when I go outside in our 12 degree celcius and sunny weather! I don't know how long that's going to last but I'm certainly going to enjoy it while I can! Yesterday my housemate Jared worked at my branch, so that was pretty fun. Mom always wants to hear about my roommates so maybe I'll right a bit on him tonight when I get home-or then again maybe I'll sit down and play some Civilization 4. If I was a betting man, I know where I would put my money.

Someone recently asked me when I'm coming home and I told them I would come home when the stores started displaying "Merry Christmas" again instead of "Happy Holidays." So that answer could possibly mean 'never' I suppose. Like any other country, Christmas started the day after Halloween here and it's just as annoying as it is back home. And while this country may be full of heathen dogs (tongue firmly in cheek) at least they don't have any problems acknowledging a holiday for what it is the way our supposedly "Christian" country does.
I read an article on the Star not to long ago where Martin was criticizing the opposition for threatenting a Christmas election campaign because not only was it during the Christmas holiday season but also several other important holidays. I wanted to wretch. I felt like yelling at him for being so redundant. We know there are other holidays, but do you really have to name them all? Isn't Christmas a good enough reason? The PC that comes out of that mans mouth is just disgusting.

Anyways, I've had my rant for today. I don't have any interesting facts right now so how about a Japanese vocab lesson instead. Your first word will be:

KAWAII: [kah-why-eee] This means "cute" and if you're a girl under the age of 20, you'll probably say it at least 15 times per day.
