July 28 the best food in the world...Nutella! I don't understand how some people can not like this stuff. All you need is a spoon!
  July 27 you have GOT to be kidding me...I get home after my morning run, and what's the first thing I hear on the news? Floyd Landis, 2006 Tour de France winner, has tested positive for an unusual level of testosterone! This doesn't make him a confirmed doper yet though, but believe what you want.
The Phonak Cycling Team was notified yesterday by the UCI of an unusual level of Testosterone/Epitestosterone ratio in the test made on Floyd Landis after stage 17 of the Tour de France. The Team Management and the rider were both totally surprised of this physiological result. The rider will ask in the upcoming days for the counter analysis to prove either that this result is coming from a natural process or that this is resulting from a mistake in the confirmation. In application of the Pro Tour Ethical Code, the rider will not race anymore until this problem is totally clear. If the result of the B sample analysis confirms the result of the A sample the rider will be dismissed and will then pass the corresponding endocrinological examinations. Please understand that we cannot at this time give you more detailed comments. - The Phonak Cycling Team July 26 11 CamerasJust caught a glimpse of this new show 11 Cameras on CBC. The whole thing is filmed from the point of view of webcams. This being the first show I've ever seen like this, I must admit it was hard to stop watching. In a sense, there is some intimacy between the audience and the actors since the actors seem to be speaking directly to the audience. Talk about in your face! The show has a sort of "big brother" feel to it, which is perhaps why it's so interesting. See for yourself. http://www.11cameras.com July 25 and on the 7th day, He rested...Today is the first day since July 8th that I have a day off from work. I've been working everyday since then. It actually kinda sucks.
Plus it's raining. No biking.  July 24 fun at work...Twenty minutes before close our receipt printer at work ran out of receipt tape. I had to drive to the other end of the city to get more receipt tape, and on the way there on Bishop Grandin, traffic all of a sudden came to a halt. Why?!?
A gaggle of geese were waddling across the road. It was oh so cute. fun at the doctor's...It's always fun going to see the doctor for a physical. After waiting for 2.5 hours for nothing on Friday, after a miscommunication where I was not told right away to come back on Monday, I was back there this morning when they opened at 8. Well, they told me to come back at 9 since they don't do physicals until 9. Great, more waiting. After shooting the breeze for an hour, I finally get called in. The physical was pretty unexciting, but I also had to get some immunization shots today.
It's always comforting to see that the person administering the needle shot has tremoring hands. So he missed on the first shot - the needle didn't go in deep enough. Second shot though, the good doctor got it. Okay, so now I was told to go to the lab to get my blood drawn. I get there and they tell me it's $42 cash, on top of the $150 I already paid. I had to run to the ATM next door to get the cash. Getting blood drawn is kinda freaky, yet cool at the same time.
So I have to go back this Wednesday, and next Monday. Yay. July 17 lululemon athleticaI just found out one reason why lulu clothes are so damn expensive: they put soy in their shirts. Wow.
 July 12 Q&A with Benedetto XVI...Here's just one of the questions that was posed to the Holy Father at WYD2006:
Holy Father, I am Anna. I am 19 years old, I am studying literature, and I belong to the Parish of St Mary of Carmel.
One of the problems we are constantly facing is how to approach emotional issues. We frequently find it difficult to love. Yes, difficult: because it is easy to confuse love with selfishness, especially today when most of the media almost impose on us an individualistic, secularized vision of sexuality in which everything seems licit and everything is permitted in the name of freedom and individual conscience. The family based on marriage now seems little more than a Church invention, not to speak of premarital relations, whose prohibition appears, even to many of us believers, difficult to understand or anachronistic.... Knowing well that so many of us are striving to live our emotional life responsibly, could you explain to us what the Word of God has to tell us about this? Thank you.

the one year anniversary...of WYD2005 is fast approaching. Good times! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Youth_Day_2005 July 08 the Winnipeg Folk Festival... wow...It's supposed to be about people and music. It's supposed to be a four day event. It's supposed to be fun.
I was there for two days. It was about weed and booze. It was about being a hippie and acting like a total ass. It wasn't my crowd. But Crooked Still rocked! |
