one month from today. please go faster.

yes, my tacky online portfolio.

having done the Belfast Children's Program, (a program in which children from Northern Ireland visit Saint John, New Brunswick, for the entire month of July,) in 2000, I appreciate this story very much. let's hope peace finally comes to Belfast.

and it looks like a Liberal minority government for Quebec! allez-y, Jean Charest!

oh... and now, more than ever, I fucking hate school.
(don't think I'm ungrateful. I am.
...but this fucking sucks right about now! I'm sure it'd be the same anywhere, regardless of the university.)

And here's a late Friday Five. this one looks especially good.

1. If you could suddenly speak one language fluently (that you don't currently speak) what would it be?

ITALIANO! I would love to speak Italian... Such a romantic language! That or German, but probably Italian, because Italian is romantic, wheras German sounds... mechanical.

2. If you were to suggest a foreign film, that you really enjoyed, what one would you suggest?

"Life Is Beautiful," Italy.

3. If you had to call another country home (other than the one you currently live in) what one would you choose?

VIVE LA FRANCE. For fucking sure France!!!

4. If you went out to buy an import music CD, what one would you buy?

I would likely buy... Um... Classical British music. You know, uppity fancy pants orchestras playing ye olde composer's greatest hits of yore. (Does this count as international?)

5. If you were to chose an ethnic dinner, what would it be?

INDIAN FOOD. I have a recent obsession...
That or sushi. That's Japanese. (No, really?)

and speaking of multiethnicities, I'm off to watch the second episode of the CBC hit, "Little Mosque on the Prairie."

peaceeeeeee out

P.S. OK I forgot to do my Friday Five last week too. and I need to answer, because it's for St. Paddy's, and little do you know, I'm 1/4th Irish... despite my overwhelming Frenchness.

1. What's your favorite shade of green?

Forest green. Soooo New Brunswick.

2. Do you wear green on St. Patrick's Day, and if not, do you ever get pinched?

I do wear green. But if anyone did punch me, I'd fucking take them out.
:)
Classy.

3. Do you do anything else to celebrate the holiday?

Um, some people eat pancakes. Some people drink in the morning. Some people do Irish jigs...
I don't do any of that. I just drink with my friends.

4. Have you ever consumed a green beer (or any other alcoholic beverage dyed green)?

Um, well not green beer, but DEFINITELY green Kool-Aid. that totally counts.

5. Do you have a good luck charm, and if so, what is it?

Yes, your mom.
(OH SNAP)
