My Belated Remembrance Day Post…
I watched the movie Passchendaele for the first time today. It was an ok movie, but what struck me the most was the final scene. Not for the overly dramatic “kid on a cross” moment, but for the fighting scene, one man against another. We’ve seen this a thousand times in movies. One man fights another, and you can’t even distinguish who’s on what side. At the end of the day, both these men are honorable (or not), probably have a wife waiting for them back home, a mother who will cry for them when they die, and neither of them are there because they hate the other. They are there because signed up for the army, and that’s where it took them.

Are computer viruses a thing of the past?
Living in North America, all i hear from local canadian news and US news is the number of H1N1 cases, and how the organization to get people vaccinated is terrible. Today, my mind wanders to another type of virus. Remember computer viruses? Remember receiving emails that had huge warnings about not reading this or that file? Remember news coverage on companies having all their computers crash. Remember the Y2K virus? Remember discussing which anti-virus software was the best, McAfee, Norton… Is it just me, or do we not hear anything of those anymore? Are computer viruses a thing of the past? I can’t image that it’s because Microsoft and others have gotten so good

Which country has the best healthcare system? Tell me what you think
Being a citizen of the world, I’ve lived in many countries and experienced many healthcare systems. I THINK I know which system i think is best from those systems i’ve experienced, but I really want to ask those of you out there: what country do you live in, and what do you like about your healthcare system? What don’t you like?What do you think other countries can learn from your country? I believe that it IS possible to have healthcare for all. I don’t think that money should decide whether a doctor can cure you or not. I want to hear from you, so please post your opinions in a comment at the end of this post. If you want to know what I think abo

Tavern on the Square Restaurant Review
Four of us went to the Tavern on the Square in Westmount, Montreal. To start with, this is the perfect location for this high-end bistro style restaurant. It’s classy and chic, friendly, very lively. I feel in love with the interior, it was visually soooo pleasing. The right lighting, nice art, great floral arrangements, a funky martini bar, a quaint quiet couch waiting area, tables at different levels, a beautiful floor-to-ceiling wooden wine “cellar”. When I had called at lunch, to book for dinner (reservations ARE required), it sounded like very loud background noise, and it’s true, the place filled up so fast for dinner (it was a Friday night), the nois

Belated film review: The Ugly Truth
I guess if i’m reviewing a movie 2 months after seeing it, means it was memorable, eh? Well, that’s what i think of The Ugly Truth. A seemingly cute, romantic comedy, i fee like it left me with some one-liners that, as a girl, are well worth remembering. ok, so the acting was nothing transcending, but, having said that, i will give katherine heigl credit for the orgasm scene. Not quite as classic as the Meg Ryan / Billy Crystal “When Harry Met Sally” one, but still, a valliant effort. So, about those one-liners. Thanks to IMDB for the exact wording:
