Hey June
That title was the best I could come up with on short notice :)
The staff BBQ on Sunday was pretty good, although a lot of people were tired because they had just finished their shift or else they spent all day volunteering. I must have really been tired (I did both), because I agreed to let my co-workers paint a beard on my face. I have the picture on digital camera, and will share it when we figure out how to download it to my computer. That, and when I'm not lazy. I thought it looked cool. I miss it, actually. From now on, I'll draw on myself before I go out, then wash it off before I go to work! Evan, you genious!
I was trying to think of potential thesis topics today. I looked through previous topics on the University of Regina grad studies website, trying to think of something I could leech off of...I mean, make a sequel out of (good save!). I'm sure these people wrote fantastic papers, and I love the diversity of topics there...but wow, there's nothing there that even remotely interests me! Looks like I'll have to be original. I've been thinking about something along the lines of these topics: Does Canada need the monarchy anymore? Why I believe, in theory, that a minority parliament should work more effectively than a majority parliament? (tough argument given the current political climate, but I think I can make a go out of it).
My birthday is this Thursday. Number 23. Almost halfway to 50! LOL
I don't know why I didn't write this earlier, but Colin got me an early gift a few weeks ago when he was playing at an awards show in Toronto. CFL legend Mike "Pinball" Clemons was the host of the show, and the stereotrap fellas got to hang out with him for a bit. Pinball's the one athlete that nobody can hate. I don't think I've ever seen him without a smile. He's a very motivational, spiritual and inspirational man. Col asked him for an autograph to be made out to me, and apparently he took some time to think about what to write. There's none of those illegible scribbles that today's athletes churn out by the second. Here's what he wrote.
Evan: Expect Great Things!! M. Pinball Clemons
That brought a smile to my face for 2 reasons. One, that's great advice; and two, Col remembered that I liked football! And I'm sure it brought a smile to Col's face too, seeing as though that gift cost him no money whatsoever! LOL

Thank you one and all for the hpapy girthday wishes! (man, that is catchy!)
Simon: The monarchy topic is interesting indeed. I had a professor who firmly believed they're worth keeping. I can't say I totally agree with that, but who am I to question one's life work? I didn't have the heart to...well, that and he was one of the most intellectually intimidating people I've ever met!
