Quote of the Week

Following last night's huge Swiss upset over Russia at the U20 World Junior tournament in Saskatchewan, this has got to be the quote of the week:

Journalist: Do you really see a chance to reach the semis in the game against Russia?

Nino Niederreider: It’s possible. It would be wrong not to think like that. Of course they’re a very strong opponent, but maybe we can surprise them.

Well played boys, well played.

Francis Peghamagabow

Ojibway-Canadian sniper in WW1. Credited with 387 (German) kills. Captured 300 Germans. Someone do a movie on this guy. Canadian history. Enough re-creations of Robin Hood etc. Hollywood needs to do movies on guys like this. William the Conqueror is another one.

Movie Review: Law Abiding Citizen

Law Abiding Citizen (2009, Jamie Foxx, Gerard Butler) is likely to go down as the "Shawshank Redemption" of the decade. Foxx and Butler form a powerhouse duo in this gripping, action-packed drama-thriller. Gerard Butler, playing Clyde Shelton, is a dedicated family man who witnesses the deaths of his wife and daughter at the hands of two burglars in a violent home invasion. Jamie Foxx, playing seasoned Attorney General Nick Rice, angers Shelton (Butler) when he cuts a deal with one of the offenders to have the other one receive the death penalty. The remainder of the movie sees Shelton and Rice square off against one another in a complex "chess game" where checkmate means death. Each man seeks "justice" according to his own set of beliefs and his own set of rules. Many unfortunate pawns end up caught in the middle and it's a battle of wits to the end. A definite must see with enough drama and suspense to satisfy any movie-goer. Law Abiding Citizen is a definite must see!

L'as de Nimes

The coat of arms for the city of Nimes appears on a medal that was awarded to French citizens for bravery(?), military service(?) throughout the 18th and perhaps even the 17th centuries. An habitant of New France was likely awarded this medal at some time and earned the nickname "La Palme" because of the palm tree on one side of the medal (also seen in the coat of arms for the city of Nimes). The nickname of the medal was therefore likely "La Palme" and receipients of the medal gave themselves the nickname of La Palme.

Jean Gaboriau dit Lapalme

J G dit Lapalme apparently got this nickname when he saved some people from drowning in a river and was awarded a medal. The name of the medal was "La Palme".
He was the descendant of Marie-Madeleine Couc.

Worst Week Ever

This has been by far the worst week since January 2008 when I was in a fight with a co-worker and had to go to court on an assault charge.

What's been happening over the past week:
Some punks from across the street threw a party the other night. Some of their drunken guests thought it would be fun(ny) to smash up some sideview mirrors of the cars parked across the street. My girlfriend's was one of them.

I was sick with a bad flu from Friday the 13th (i'm not superstitious so don't read more into that date than you need to) until Thursday the 19th. Since then I've been left with a bacterial lung infection.

My blood sugars have been going haywire since the 13th when I was struck by what my doctor is quite sure was swine flu. I can't exercise when I'm sick. With my lungs short of breath as they are I can't go play soccer or go to the gym. I just need to sit this one out and hope that it gets better.

I've missed a lot of school. I missed class Friday through Friday and again this morning. I will likely miss the rest of this week. I had 2 midterms put on hold and I have to write those soon. I have a big paper due on December 2.

A local gym owes me three months worth of payments that they took from my account while I was no longer a member. I'm having a heck of a time getting my money back.

How was your week?
