I was wrong, according to my spoiler thread friends. The Angel finale is next week in the US. So we'll get it on the 12th, not the 19th.

So there are only two episodes left (three for us)?

Elena, I'm going to pick up my OR reports from the hospital tonight so I can figure out what drugs I was administered so I can report it on my drug study sheets. If I have trouble deciphering stuff, can I bug you for help?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

That's great! Nothing better than connections!
Yes, and it's handy having my mother doing the networking for me!

Why did the sun have to go away? I want it back. t /whine

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So there are only two episodes left (three for us)?

The penultimate episode aired last night in the US.

(really, I just wanted an excuse to type "penultimate")

Remembering our conversation from last week Ouise... I just read this on Canoe.ca's front page:

B.C. overturns same sex decision

Laws preventing same-sex marriage are discriminatory, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled Thursday. In its decision the court gave the federal government until July 12, 2004 to change the law preventing gays and lesbians from marrying.

Here's the full story.

Thanks for all the fish.

Megan, you slut!

Yes, of course you can ask me anything.

Ouise, good luck with the quitting!

Yes, of course you can ask me anything.

Anything?? There must be a required course in the pharamcy program called "Deciphering the Illegible".

We have now been spanked by the Americans:

U.S. warns against softening Canadian pot laws

VANCOUVER - A top White House drug policy official is threatening retaliation from the U.S. if Canada relaxes its laws against marijuana possession.

David Murray, right-hand man to U.S. "drug czar" John Walters, says he doesn't want to tread on another country's sovereignty, but warned there would be consequences if Canada proceeds with a plan to decriminalize the possession of marijuana.

"We would have to respond. We would be forced to respond," said Murray.

Murray didn't spell out what the American response would be, but he invoked images of tie-ups at border crossings and intense bureaucracy.

He said if marijuana becomes more widely used in Canada, it could penetrate more widely into the U.S.

Murray tried to express the feeling in the U.S. that looser drug laws go hand-in-hand with increase in crime and drug addiction among youth, and used some apocalyptic language to do it.

"You can't wall this off saying, 'We're only talking about a little cannabis.' Our experience is they come together like the Four Horsemen," he said.

Murray said Canada's reputation in the global community would be forever altered if it decided to decriminalize pot.

"It's not just Canada's relationship with the United States that would change; it's Canada's relationship with the world," he said.

In fact, many countries, notably in Europe, have already decriminalized marijuana, but none of them share a border with the U.S., where the policy is zero tolerance for smoking pot.

Have a fun wedding this weekend.
