Buffistas

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Ack. I'm all over-excited and having trouble concentrating on work. I got a phone call last night saying that my mortgage pre-approval is done, and I met with a real estate agent last week. Now I'm freaking out.

I haven't even looked at any houses yet, but that is soon to come. Ulp.

Hello! I must be going.

Hello Canadians! Hope you all made it OK through the storm.

There's an East-West Canada Smackdowngoing on at the Straight Dope Message Board I thought you might find amusing.

Thanks for all the fish.

Ouise, that is so eciting! I love house hunting.

I see that the other thread seems to consider Ontario the East.

Heh, yes. My friend Nico (from Alberta) and I had some discussions on that point. He seemed to feel that only the exact east-west midpoint of Canada could be referred to as "central Canada" and was very surprised that I did, in fact, know where that midpoint was.

I tend to consider Quebec and the Atlantic provinces "eastern Canada", Alberta and B.C. "western Canada" and Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan "central Canada", but the really important division is into "has a coastline" vs. "is unimportant" :)

Most people west of Quebec think of Atlantic Canada as a big national park.

Thanks for all the fish.

See, BC is 'pacific', AB, SK & MB is 'western' ON & PQ is 'central' and the Atlantic provinces are, ah, 'atlantic'... Though, I suppose one could lump Quebec and points East as 'eastern'.

Manitoba is generally not considered central because, well, Manitoba is generally not considered.

I thought that Winnipeg was the dead centre of the country. And by dead centre I don't mean *dead* centre.

Does anyone want to get together this weekend? There are several options - going out for dinner, meeting for drinks or meeting for coffee. Also, Nora and I now have the extended version DVD of Fellowship of the Ring, so if anyone wanted to come over to watch it, that might be fun. What do you say?

hip deep in pie

I'd love to, but I probably shouldn't. i have a big-assed project due in two weeks that we are DOOMED on. DOOMED, I say!!!

That said, procrastination was always my best subject.

Edit: 'Ouise, I was at your place of employ this morning.

Really? Were you at the workshop in the library? I noticed something going on there.

Good luck with the project. We'll still have the DVD when you're done with it, and any excuse to rewatch is welcome!
