This past weekend I wasn't up to much other than fiddling around on the computer and watching some flicks that I downloaded. Saturday night I watched School of Rock, which was a good movie, although for some reason didn't have near as many laugh-out-loud moments as I was anticipating. Last night I saw Anger Management, which had a few laughs but overall is a great example of how Adam Sandler has been phoning it in for a number of years now. Oh well, you can't beat the price!
Tomorrow night I'm going to the Stephen Lewis lecture at the U of R. You are more than welcome to join me if you like! Otherwise, I've got a board meeting on Wednesday, and, of course, Beerfest is Saturday. Tickets go on sale this week - make sure you e-mail me if you need tickets to I can pick them up! This weekend is going to rock!
An interesting statistic that came my way through The Globe and Mail:
The lesson is: if you have the opportunity to put your child in a language-immersion school program and you don't, then you're a fucking idiot - bar none.[The] study found that, in every province except Manitoba, students enrolled in French-immersion programs outperformed their counterparts in non-immersion programs in reading performance.
In Manitoba, the results for both immersion and non-immersion students were the same.
