I guess I’m not and you’re not going to be heading down to the Lotto offices first thing Monday morning to collect our winnings. Two carry overs – count’em – two! Friday’s Lotto Max and Saturday’s 6/49 failed to turn up any winning tickets so the bunch of us are going to have to head back to the ol’ salt mine come tomorrow.

Toronto International Film Festival

In case you haven’t glanced at a newspaper lately, we are in the grips of Hollywood mania as TIFF rolls out the red carpet for all the big names in cinema. The film lover extravaganza is on until September 18th and it’s film, film, film! The official web site publishes a detailed schedule of all screenings so you have multiple opportunities to get in on the action and see something which will be out in general release later on this year or the next.

Movies

I went and saw Contagion last night and am I going to be dipping into the Purcell for the rest of the week or what? (see my review) This film is about a virus which spreads around the world but there are no zombies trying to eat the rest of us. This is a realistic presentation of what may happen if something similar to SARS or the bird flu actually got out of control. We all have probably forgotten that in 1918 influenza pandemic did exactly that and 50 million people died around the world. 50 million! We may think the authorities overreacted during SARS but it is possible and it is scary.

Some other films still on the marquee worth checking out: The Debt and The Guard. Both are worth a trip to the theatre.

10 anniversary of 9/11

It’s been ten years since this I-remember-where-I-was-when moment. Where are we all now? How did the war on terror go and how is it going now? Are we better off? I’m sure that every newspaper, every news talk show and every online web site will be trying to answer that question today. I’m certain there will be many opinions one way or another.

The Terry Fox Run: Sunday, September 18, 2011

Support the fight against cancer. Check out the official web site then find a run in your area. Hundreds of thousands of people all across Canada are expected to be out next Sunday to walk, run or bike in the name of Terry Fox (1958-1981).

Terry had one leg amputated due to cancer. In 1980, he started a cross-country run to raise money and awareness for cancer research but unfortunately, his cancer returned and he was forced to quit after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi). Although he died, his dream lives on and we all can contribute to a cause which will benefit if not us, future generations.

Divorced then fined

Only in France!

After twenty-one years of marriage and two children, the Family Court of Nice in January 2009 granted Monique a divorce from Jean-Louis due to the “exclusive fault of the husband”, specifically, the husband’s lack of activity in the bedroom. However, that wasn’t the end of it. In May 2011, the Court of Appeal in Aux-en-Provence ordered Jean-Louis to pay Monique € 10,000 ($14,057 USD; $13,891 CAD) in damages for “no sex for years.” (The couple are both 51 years old.)
