Felixese II

Dustin: "Why would you park here, Felix? We're probably going to get mugged on the way to the restaurant and on the way back."

Felix: "Now, who the hell would mug three guys?"

Jeff: "Well... four guys."

Felix: "No mugglers are going to..."

Dustin: "Mugglers?"

Jeff: "Damn those Mugglers."

Dustin: "Damn you dirty Muggler bloods"

Jeff: *Laughs*

Dustin: *Laughs*

Felix: "I don't get it."

Oh Felix. Go watch the Harry Potter movies. I'm sure you'll like them.

In other news, I'm happy to announce that I've landed myself a co-op placement in Ottawa with the Natural Health Products Directorate in the Health Products and Food Branch of Health Canada. I'll be gone from the beginning of May to the end of August.

I've got some new material in. Most notably:
Saw II
Lord of War
The Legend of Zorro (2nd movie)
Island, Serenity (I didn't have these in DVD)
Chicken Little
and a few others.
This weekend, after rock-climbing, we can watch a movie and relax. I'm sure we'll be fairly tired after the exercise and food.

Poo update

Why is it so taboo to talk about poo (c.f. Feb 3)? It's a natural bodily function that we must perform relatively frequently. I would dare say that some of us might actually enjoy that meditative weight loss process. Sitting position... Alone... Relaxed... Aromatic environment. Okay, speaking of aroma, do you ever wonder if poo fumes stick to you when you leave the premises? Do you end up walking around smelling like peppy le peu? Personally, I'm not gonna take the chance. I dropped an 'iceberg' just now, and I think a shower will remove any lingering residues or such from my person.

Oh, and by the way, I've added some links and fixed links to Ivan and Simon's blogs

Yet more proof that my fluency in Felixese is an asset when it comes to editing his essays.

OMG!

Oh My Godiva!

I bought a box of 16 Raspberry Truffles from Godiva last week, and I'm now down to the very last one. At a retail value of more than $2 apiece, you can't help but savour every beautiful thing about Godiva's Chocolates, from shape and design, to the little raspberry seeds that get stuck in your teeth. The dark chocolate shell is actually formed by two thin layers and doesn't just shatter to pieces when broken. The pulpy raspberry filling makes for a treat that's not just a load of tasteless sweetness that describes most mass produced chocolates of today. While Pot of Gold and other brands use raspberry icing as the filler, Godiva opts for a real raspberry pulp, more jam/jelly-like than anything else. Hard little raspberry seeds and that sharp sour tang gives it that much more integrity as a Raspberry candy. The bitterness of the semisweet dark chocolate contrasts the sweet and soft raspberry filling in both texture and taste. As both parts melt together in the mouth, there is a mixture of hard and soft, bitter and sweet. The two distinct tastes of chocolate and raspberry remain separate to the end. Really, I've not tasted a better chocolate confectionary in my world. If you don't know what to get your loved one this Valentine's Day, get her a box of Godiva's Raspberry Truffles. If she has the slightest idea of what good food is, she'll love them for sure.
