Whats been Happening?

Just a quick one in preparation for this weekend festivities! Once more there are a couple of birthday parties happening, not anyone I know, but I am becoming quite good at fitting into surroundings, I’m a bit like a social chameleon, or an unwanted guest you just don’t know how to ask to leave… I can’t decide?

But the real exciting news is that I am going curling. This is the most Canadian thing just above ice hockey. As far as I can tell, you slide an object very reminiscent of a large bed pan with a handle down an ice like bowling alley. Then to make it stop in the far circle, you run after it, obviously because you threw it too hard, and sweep the ice in front of it… After the lessons I’m sure I will be able to update you on the nuances of the game and the intricacies of sweeping J On the other hand its open bar and free lunch, this weekend is looking up!


The University of Toronto library, designed to look like a peacock (see photo) is slowly sinking into the ground, at a rate of one quarter inch/year. This is because the weight of the books weren’t factored into the foundations calculations. Ok true this is just a funny urban myth I heard but looking at this monstrosity it could have definitely been true…
