On Friday I stopped by Andrew & Esther's place, where a number of guys from church were getting together to play videogames. I demonstrated to all my lack of videgame aptitude, especially when it comes to first person shooter type games.
On Saturday Andrew had arranged with a friend of his for Your Heart to be the house-band in a student film project. So we (well, those of us who were available) got to stand on stage at some sort of high-school spring dance (actually a decorated church hall) and mime along to a recording of Love #1...
That night we watched Rocket Science.
On Sunday we went to buy a bike helmet for Leah, and then stopped by Holy Oak. After church we watched Stranger than Fiction.

hi/lo
On Friday night we went to D&J's for dinner. We also watched the September Issue, which was pretty interesting.
On Saturday we went grocery shopping. Leah had a lot of school work to do in the afternoon/evening, so I wondered around town, despite the weather being not as nice as it was during the week.
On Sunday I walked around and visited a few art galleries and coffeeshops. Leah worked on school stuff and had her first church choir practice.
After church, we went to D&J's for dinner again.

"We are creating a massive new entitlement," Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) said during floor debate Sunday.
As a society, we wouldn't want people to feel entitled to adequate healthcare. Especially poor people.
Also - why all the debate over whether this will cost or save government money?.. the message is that you should only help people if there is no cost - which is ridiculous.
And also (and I can't believe I am referencing Michael Moore) - our schools, police and fire departments are all 'socialist'... so what's with the red scare rhetoric?!

Too little too late
I have never tried to contact a government representative before. I realize that it is a little late, but when I found out that my Democrat Rep was planning on voting against President Obama's healthcare reform plan, I decided to send along a note...

weekend
On Friday night we went to Clinton's to wish Tim goodbye - he is moving to Winnipeg to work in marketing for the ballet.
On Saturday I got my hair cut, and then we walked to Crux to buy a book that they did not have. The weather was dreadful. That evening we went to the symphony.
On Sunday I went grocery shopping. We both played music at church, and afterwards Bradley and the Makins came over for dinner.

Check out this project that Andrew and Karl came up with... and give them money if you can...

Gentleness
Because of some or other reason (I assume it has something to do with the legal ramifications of being famous), Shad's video in the ongoing Fruit of the Spirit series is available for a limited time only.
weekend
On Friday night we went to Bradley's birthday party.
On Saturday, Leah went to U of T. I went to the Dufferin Mall for groceries. I also bought paint to paint the bedroom, which we finished in a couple of hours that afternoon (I guess there are some advantages to having a small apartment!)
On Sunday, Leah went to St John's to play bass. I went to Holy Oak for coffee, and then to Value Village. Afterwards I painted (canvases) and painted (walls - touched up a couple of spots with a second coat...)
Leah skipped evening church to read books for school. After church we went out for Korean food with D&J.
Blogger/Google is ending their ftp support - which will screw up ImmigrantDesign.com... this is a big hassle for me.

weekend
so...
...sometimes I don't really feel like doing this update, but for some reason I try to do it anyway. Why is that?
Friday... we went over to Brad's for dinner.
Saturday... Leah made granola for breakfast, and then we ended up going to Ikea, basically to buy a light bulb for the lamp we bought there last weekend. But this time we went to the other Ikea, so it was totally different. Also, we went with D&J, so that part actually was different.
Sunday... we went to morning church, 'cause Leah was playing bass and we had a meeting after church. That afternoon we went to see the Under Great White Northern Lights movie at the Royal. The movie theatre was pretty empty, 'cause I guess everybody else in the country was watching the hockey game. I guess the game was good but I'd rather watch the White Stripes tour Canada. That night, D&J came over to our house for dinner.
