No, you are not the only Canadian, don't worry!

I didn't get to go to Trilogy Tuesday, but some people I know that went found that there wasn't a whole lot of people, at least not at the theatre they went to. Aparently ROTK started at 10pm, 2 full hours before it was officially released! They had about 30 minut breaks inbetween each movie, and there were different contests, like one you got a T-shirt if you had the best Nazgul scream!

Manitoba to be vague enough so that no one will think I'm giving out too much personal information... go Canada! we do rock... specially in -40 degrees weather!

Lovely how you said Calgarian first and then Canadian... you think you're better than us people from the prairie, eh? well, you are probably right

No, darned I've been living here for too long!

I don't know about... wherever in Sask. you live Valier but over here EVERYONE seems to hate this city... then they go ice-skating, or they play hockey, bike around or hike during summer.... and of course, there are a few (admittedly not many, but probably enough) bars and such. I think it's the small town mentality... people want to be in big, busy metropolies rather than easygoing small cities. Personally, I love it here, much better than NYC-sized Buenos Aires.

Disclaimer: My use of the word "eh" pre-dates my immigration to Canada. Eh IS a word and I've been using it since I can recall.

Edit: And to answer Valier's last question, the weather has behaved yesterday and today. It rained!! that's something you don't see very often in December. And today it's zero degrees!!! I couldn't be happyer.
