Welcome to your Monday friends.
Favourite headline of the day so far comes from British Colombia. Mud Swallows Woman’s Pants. She was out on an ATV with friends and things got bad. Fire crews rescued her before the mud took her forever, she’ll be ok. The pants though were sucked right off of her body.
Fast & Furious was tops at the box office over the weekend proving that guys with cars will still drive to movie theatres and buy tickets even in a recession. The movie grossed $72.5 million, more than doubling last weeks high earner Monsters vs. Aliens. All I’m going to ask that right now while it is snowy and rainy and gross on the streets, please don’t be racing your car around town like you’re Paul Walker. You’re not. Thank you.
Congratulations to everyone that won Academy of Country Music Awards last night. Well deserved. Our friend Taylor Swift took home album of the year honors for Fearless and was awarded a special crystal statue for selling the most country records of the year and bringing young fans back to country music. Reba was an amazing hostess as expected and the show (parts that I saw at least) looked good.
Baseball also started last night as we were giddy about yesterday. The Braves beat the Phillies and tonight everyone else (weather permitting) takes to field to start their 162 game campaigns. In Toronto it’s almost a flash back to 32 years ago when the Blue Jays played their first ever game against the White Sox at old Exhibition Stadium in the snow. This year it is snowing, but we’re playing the Tigers and there’s a roof on the Rogers Centre.
The Blue Jays do open tonight which is great! We don’t have a lot of expectations heaped on the team, but consistency and competition are all I’m asking for. E-ve has plans to go to the game tonight. I plan on asking her for a score book and maybe a picture or two from her iPhone. I should probably ask her before she reads my requests here. Xoxo
Went for a nice little walk with E-ve last night in the village to the east of the apt. It really is a nice little neighbourhood, and will be worth walking around in when the weather decides that it wants to turn to spring and summer. Here’s hoping that it comes sooner rather than later.
Easter is this coming weekend, which means family and food for me. It also means a Stat Holiday on Friday of this week. For those of you who celebrate Easter, cheers. For my friends who do not, cheers to you too. I hope that everyone is able to take advantage of the long weekend to be with loved ones.
Happy Monday again mes amis, I hope that the rest of the week goes well for you all. Study hard for exams and get ready for the summer.
