Fabulous Friday

Today was awesome.

First, it was my day off. Plus, I got to eat sushi with my friends and go see Bare Naked Ladies in concert. To top it off, David Suzuki made an appearance (as he was plugging his website and environmental campaign) during intermission. How amazing is that?

The photo above is my recent cooking inspiration result. I was inspired to whip up some strawberry shortcake after talking with my sister whom is taking cooking lessons. Actually, I had a bunch of really ripe strawberries and didn't know what to do with them and thought strawberry shortcake would be fun to try (thanks to allrecipies.com) It ended up a tad sweeter than I would have liked, but it still turned out well considering it was my first try.

More on the concert another day. Must go to sleep now.

oscar-crazed

Nominations were announced for oscars this morning. It seems Canadians are up for big categories, such as Deepa Mehta for her film Water in the Best Foreign Film, Paul Haggis for his original screenplay Letters from Iwo Jima, and Ryan Gosling for his performance in the independent film Half Nelson. Did you know Gosling was the first Canadian mouseketeer? (which I found in our library for one of our researchers!)

... to good dental health

With a new year, people usually make resolutions. I've given up on those. However, the fact a dentist friend of mine has sent some dental tools to help me become more efficient at maintaining good oral hiegene, I may resolve to take better care of my teeth and more specifically my gums. One of the tools sent in the package is completely new to me. It looks like a mini-christmas tree on a stick. Apparently, this tool is a good alternative to flossing, especially for those who have wide spaces between their gums/teeth (that would be me). It works quite well. It's kinda cool trying out these new dental gadgets (yes, I'm a geek). So, here's to good dental health!
