I always liked Maligne then frozen although I never saw it that often. Char told me a bit about you going up there. Talk to you when you get home, moi

Damn right you’ll teach your kids a mere sense of entitlement is not what will get you by alone. If your kid’s generation could be the first one in a while that starts to purge this sense of entitlement that has been going on that would be great.

Yeah, there is more to it than effort, for sure. I really don’t like that this “self-esteem” grading is going on in elementary schools, but to hear that some people think it should be happening in post-secondary education too, gross. In hindsight I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised, those kids who got graded “W” for Wonderful will eventually get to college age.

I’ll use the obvious analogy, here:

You want some dope who graduated PhD in Agriculture to irrigate your crops with Gatorade, cause it quenches all thirst? He tried really, really hard in school ….. :/

You want some guy to have to try really really hard to remember a differential diagnosis on your dying mom when he only has 10 minutes to administer treatment or her stroke will permanently ruin her brain?

I didn’t think so.

I don’t know. I like it, and I have a pretty visceral reaction to the song. Sadly, I think Telus did a good job reinventing that. Makes me want a smart phone.

I know!

Make no mistake, I can (and do!) listen to Lux Aeterna without irony purely for the joy of the sound; it’s a beautiful song. But this… this is just… Words fail. They really do.

Good lord. Even knowing what that was going to be didn’t prepare me for that.

Oh my god, you’re right. Anyone who’s watched that movie would have quite a different response to that ad than Telus expects, I’m sure. It’s powerful music, just not in the way they want it to be.

A shout out echo. You two made it easier on us being uber organized and ready for us. Forking over $150 in beer was a nice touch as well. I can’t wait to warm you house!!!

I am with Moi on this one. I know what it meant to you and the fact that you couldn’t get into it with me when it was fresh I understood meant it was pretty emotional. More reason to have coffee Tuesday evening. Let’s dish about you.

Yeah, it’s pretty hard to take, no mistake. I mean, it is what it is, but I don’t have to like it. Safety über alles, but oh, what a price to pay.
