Less than a month before I depart the familiar Canadian soils for the unknown in Europe, a few more phrases for the stupid.
I've been told the following phrases are very important in terms of surviving in France:
Ou est-ce-que je peux trouver quelque chose de manger?
Ou est-ce-que je peux acheter quelque chose pour boire?
Ou est-ce-que je peux acheter un verre de vin?
The utmost important thing, is to know how to ask where to get something to eat, drink, and ask for a glass of wine. Fabulous.
I know a lot of people who speak French, and I like to *think* that for a completely new language, I am doing quite well...

Siobhan's quarter-century
It's been a busy weekend of going out. Siobhan celebrated her birthday Saturday at Kelli's and Doogie's. Starting out at Kelli's, an already intoxicated Siobhan attempted to break her pinata with a meat tenderizer. Fantastic.
With lots of chocolate eggs and jolly ranchers on the floor, I'm sure that was a great mix with all the alcohol coursing through everyone's veins.
We headed out to Doogie's after 11, and although we missed the line, it was already very full inside. The music line up has changed since I was last there, and the Test Icicles are no longer the Saturday night band. It was a group called Groovy Brothers, who turned out to be absolutely fantabulous. They played all the great classics that everyone loves. Great Big Sea, Twisted Sister, The Proclaimers and more I can barely remember because the night was so epic.
With the parents (Phil and Siobhan) drinking and dancing up a storm with the baby under their arm, good times were had. Until inebriation hit the dangerous level and a nasty unfortunate slip ended the baby's life. There goes our "good parenting" for the night. But alas, a better time could be had without a yellow happy-faced balloon in our hands.
With all sorts of crazy antics going on that night, like losing house keys and running into team latino, I'm sure everyone had a blast. Which is always the case, because it's Doogie's!
Happy birthday Siobhan!

Mill Street
Walter was fantastic enough to organize a brewery tour for us on Friday. We rented a van and headed into the Distillery District of Toronto to visit the Mill St Brewpub.We got there 7 on the dot, just as expected, unfortunately without Scott who was slightly out of commission with what I assume is the Norovirus that's been traveling campus the last couple months. We got our table, made our first selections from the tap and headed into the brewery for Beeronomics 101.
The beer was good, the food was good, and of course, the company was fantastic. Thanks Walter!
Good friends, good beer, good times.Monday, March 22, 2010
Apartment 58
Kendra and I needed a night out this weekend, so Saturday we headed out to Apartment 58. One of the classier bars in town, I was excited that I got to dress up to go out. Especially given I missed the College Royal Ball because no one told me they were going.
We went over my thesis proposal quickly during pre-imbibing, and agreed on the slides that were rather unnecessary. After some relaxing, we walked to A58.
The thing with Guelph's bar scene, is it's definitely designed for those who live in Guelph or in surrounding areas. A lot of places don't actually have (visible) signs advertising where they are located. I knew about Apartment 58 from last semester by word of mouth, but it was located on a street that I frequent a lot but never noticed. That would be because it is located on the second floor above some other clubs, and there is only a stairwell with 2 guys standing in front of it. Sketch? You'd think...
Upstairs, it was a sea of cocktail dresses and men in suits. Whaaat? Good thing we dressed up, because jeans definitely would have stuck out like a sore thumb.
The music was old school and fantastic. It was like a MM Video Dance, with the 2 screens above a section of the booths showcasing the oddities of 90s dance music videos. We both loved the music, and danced up a storm. The DJ pretty much played all Lady Gaga's tracks... fantabulous!
Apartment 58: fun, fun and more fun! definitely a place to go to again.

Creation
Ildiko, Kris and I went to see Creation last night. We stopped at Molly Bloom's first to grab a bite to eat. I liked it there, it had a nice feel to it. I've been meaning to go to MB's since hearing about and seeing it, plus they also were the first place in town I knew that had karaoke nights.
The movie is partly fictionalized, but still great nonetheless. I had forgotten bits and pieces of Darwin's life, so recollecting that at the beginning was tough. The movie takes no time jumping right into the nitty gritty. I thoroughly advise knowing the history of Darwin's life post-Galapagos and pre-On the Origin of Species.
Aside from that, the movie is actually quite haunting. There are very moving scenes where, I must admit, I was teary-eyed. Of course, who wouldn't be teary-eyed on a novel based off the great Darwin's life.
For anyone who's interested in science, history, or life in general, I highly recommend that movie. I know I've been saying that a lot recently, but I've been watching a lot of really good movies lately (thanks to the Bookshelf and the Oscars)...

Eatchyerpahtaytahssss
After last night's St. Patty's Day drinking fest with the gang, I had a subliminal craving for potatoes. I have never before in my life heard such ridiculous (and accurate!) Irish accents telling someone to "eat your potatoes"! =)
Voila!
Roasted red potatoes with asparagus and grated cheese are in the foreground. The background has penne pasta and a smoked paprika salmon filet.
Nomnomnom....
Phil: "Ooohh Maar-tee. Eatchyer pahtaytahs!"

French lesson #1
I have less than 6 weeks before I leave for Europe. I am (semi) desperately learning French...
Thus far, I have deemed the following phrase(s) to be of the utmost importance:
Je m'appelle Stephanie. Je suis canadienne. Parlez-vous anglais?
Thank goodness I have friends who know french. Do any of you have any french phrases to impart on me?

The Blind Side
Yesterday was another gloomy day in Guelph...
I didn't make it in to school because I didn't want to bus in the windy rain, so I opted to *try* to work from home. Obviously it didn't work out so well.
I ventured out in the afternoon with Kendra to get groceries, but aside from that, I spent the day indoors. Even when Kendra and Kris went to the movies. I opted to watch the SAME movie, at the same time. From the comfort of my bed.
The movie was "The Blind Side".
Wow. What a touching story. Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy take in a boy from their childrens' school and raise him as one of their own - without so much as a blink of an eye. Michael eventually becomes a great football player (guard, later left tackle) and is offered many scholarships to great universities. He accepts a scholarship to attend Ole Miss - where the Tuohy's also went to - and is subject to an investigation by the NCAA.
An inspiring story of a truly benevolent Christian family and how such a generous act can not only change a child's life, but can profoundly change yours as well.
An absolutely beautiful movie, Sandra Bullock is every bit deserving of her Oscar win last week.
Woman: "Hey, you're changing that boy's life."
Leigh Anne: "No. He's changing mine."

GM Potatoes in Europe
So I meant to blog about this when I first read it, but I've been ridiculously busy trying to get a lot of work done (and watching movies...) that I forgot.
It's been posted in a lot of places, because it's a pretty hot topic right now. As it is well known, the EU has the strictest rules on GM products. For those who are pro-GM, this comes as a revelation and with a sigh of relief that GM potatoes have been accepted in a number of European countries.
After a 13 year debate, BASF - the German chemical company giant - has finally received approval from the EU to grow Amflora potatoes in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
The approval of Amflora is strictly for industrial uses (ie. paper) and the leftover skins can be used as animal feed. The anti-GM crowd states concerns in leaching of antibiotic resistance genes into the food chain, which would ultimately result in an exponential rise in infections such as MDR-TB.
Read all about it here.
What's your take?

Movie Night
It's a gloomy rainy day in Guelph, and I've been home since about 2pm. I copped out on doing work this afternoon and took a nice early leave from school. Hoping to get work done at home, clearly that was not how my night turned out.
I watched 2 movies.
Finally, I made it around to watching YPF - Young People Fucking - a movie that debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival and was widely received. It went on to be the highest grossing Canadian film - staying in theatres for almost 4 months.
The movie revolves around 5 different couples (couple, first date, exes, best friends and roommates - 3some), and the sex within. Broken up into 6 chapters (prelude, foreplay, sex, interlude, orgasm and afterglow), it is a unique and interesting take on the younger generations and the inner workings of intimate relationships.
The movie had garnered a lot of political controversy a few years back when Bill C-10 was out on the table. However, the movie was still raved about, and really isn't as cheap as the title suggests.
YPF strikes a chord as something very familiar running in any number of circles you may encounter. It's a refreshing bite into the reality of today's generation, and shouldn't be discredited based on the film title.
The second movie of the night for me was Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton's "Something's Gotta Give". I watched this at the suggestion of Kendra, because she discovered it was from the same director as "It's Complicated" - which I gave her a few days ago.
I didn't really like the Meryl Streep movie that much, but figured that it was lighthearted enough that I could take another 90 minutes of that on a rainy night.
I was wrong.
I am generally a fan of Jack Nicholson, but not tonight. I found the acting in this movie pushing the limits far beyond where I like it. The acting looked forceful and unpleasant, like the movie was difficult to film because of a clash of personalities or ideas on set. I found a definitely lack of true emotion shining through the character personalities - even in Keanu Reeves.
Diane Keaton is a good actress, but I could not find anything less desirable than her performance. She was a far cry from stellar, and I could NOT stand the incessantly ridiculous and outrageous crying/laughing/hooting she continued to do for a good 5 minutes in the movie. I have never heard seen such outlandish antics on screen before. The movie was bearable up until that point - where it went downhill and I stopped paying attention.
It's rare that I really dislike a movie, but I have to say that this really bottoms out my list, big time. Despite the similar undertones to "It's Complicated', I found the latter to be much more lighthearted and better suited for the "romantic comedy" genre. Something's Gotta Give really was just a bad script turned into an even worse movie..

Lucky
Ever since I read "The Lovely Bones" when I was in high school, I was absolutely fascinated by Alice Sebold's style of writing and choice of topic.
I have to admit, I judge books by their cover. I have the nasty tendency to choose new books by how pretty the cover is - and that's how I was initially suckered into The Lovely Bones. With its pretty light blue cover with a girls' charm bracelet decorating the centre, I picked it up and flipped to the back cover for a synopsis.
I was hooked.
The riveting story of a young girl raped and murdered by her neighbour, I couldn't stop crying or shaking, but I also couldn't put it down.
The same goes for Lucky (DayZero #94, book #8).
The first book written by Alice - a memoir of her life starting freshman year, when she was brutally beaten and raped the night before going home for the summer after her first year at Syracuse University, New York.
I've read plenty of books in my (short) lifetime that have moved me to the point of tears. I've read plenty of books that have left me in awe. I've also read plenty of books that I haven't been able to finish because of the author's presentation of the content. But there have been very few books that have literally shaken to the core.
The first chapter of the novel - in all 27 pages of its glory - left me in tears from beginning to end, shaking, yet unable to stop reading.
I would have finished this book the day I started reading it, but alas, there is always schoolwork to be done and assignments to complete. I finished it about a week after starting. It's not a particularly long book, but it was one that I read chapters at a time, before realizing it was midnight and I had to be up at 6am in the morning. I have definitely lost sleep this week, being absolutely enthralled in this novel.
Written as a call to raise awareness of rape, this novel is a wondrous gift from Alice to the world. However it is probably not for the faint at heart, due to the excruciatingly graphic detail. There are passages in the novel that are initially very difficult to get through, but as you read on it becomes commonplace, and you almost feel like you are there, like you are in the know of everything.
Numbers don't lie:
In the tunnel where I was raped... a girl had been murdered and dismembered. I was told this by the police. In comparison, they said, I was lucky... But at the time, I felt I had more in common with the dead girl than I did with the large, beefy police officers or my stunned freshman-year girlfriends. The dead girl and I had been in the same low place... During the rape my eye caught something among the leaves and glass. A pink hair tie... I will always think of her when I think of the pink hair tie. I will think of a girl in the last moments of her life.

Numbers don't lie:
- Canada has one of the highest reported rape statistic of 65 countries in a UN report: 78/100,000 (UN, 2002).
- Greater than 60% of rapes go unreported. For male rapes, it is over 90% unreported.
- Almost 40% of rapes happens to women aged 16-30 (Rape Survivor).
- The perpetrator is intoxicated one-third of the time (USDJ, 1998).
- Two-thirds of rapes are committed by a known individual (USDJ, 2005).
- Over two-thirds of rape occurs at home - victim or perpetrator (USDJ, 1997).

Spring!
It is BEAUTIFUL outside!

I love wearing my over the knee boots with a skirt.
I love not needing heavy mitts.
I love not needing a scarf wrapping my face up.
I love not having a bulky jacket.

It's Complicated
Yesterday, I spent virtually the whole day in the lab. I ran through 7 reps of samples for a total of around 85 texts. A long day it was indeed, not to mention I went to the bank first thing in the morning to get some money-management done.
Needless to say, the night at home was a pretty good write off. I got as far as entering my all data into my spreadsheet, but have yet to actually do ANY of the analysis. The cleaning lady was home when I got back home, and I ate some food and we chatted a bit while I did my much-procrastinated ironing and finished season 2 of SATC.
After she left I popped in a movie. Because I can't remember the last time I sat in the comforts of my own home and watched a movie by myself.
It's Complicated.
An interesting movie, with very randomly interjected comic relief. I'm torn between saying it was good and saying it was awful. I'll leave it at the fact that I'm glad I didn't pay to watch it in theatres.
I love Meryl Streep's acting, and Steve Martin is quite the funny character, but something about this movie just didn't hit the spot. Whether it's the fact that the movie actually has quite a serious undertone to it, or the fact that there isn't strong development of character roles, it just felt like something was a miss. I think scene I enjoyed best was the graduation party where all 3 adults and the fiance, Harley, decide to blaze up. Who said the older adults are stiff.
The movie was great for spending a Saturday night at home in comfort clothes, but not one I am raving about for the next few days.

Cry
Music is the spice of life. And I love love LOVE Kelly Clarkson.
If anyone asks,
I'll tell them we both just moved on
When people all stare
I'll pretend that I don't hear them talk
Whenever I see you,
I'll swallow my pride and bite my tongue
Pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong
Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
Cry
If anyone asks,
I'll tell them we just grew apart
Yeah what do I care
If they believe me or not
Whenever I feel
Your memory is breaking my heart
I'll pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong
Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
Cry
I'm talking in circles
I'm lying, they know it
Why won't this just all go away
Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
