A special gift!

I find the pick-up notice on the door. It seems that when the postman came, I didn't realize! Any way, I check the working hours of the post office on the net to make sure it works on Saturdays. I walk to the post office, and it is like 30 minutes walk in -20 degrees weather! I am freezing!

I’m at the post office; I have to stand in line for a couple of minutes, hypothesizing about what the parcel can be. It is strange. The only thing I'm expecting these days is the police certificate from Ottawa, what cannot be a parcel and they could leave it in the mailbox! Let’s wait and see. It’s my turn. “Could you give me a piece of ID?” the woman says. And here’s my parcel! It’s bigger than what I expected. I am confused! Let’s see who has sent it. Nothing! No name, no familiar address. Oh, it’s here on the label is written “hat and scarf”. Now my guess is that my father has sent it from his office. I’m pretty sure now; and the address is unfamiliar cause I don’t know where his new office is. I grab the parcel heading my office. I have to do some experiments in the lab today. Again I’m freezing; and although I know there is something very handy in the parcel, I don’t want to open it now, adding to my surprise!

I am in my office, taking off my coat and preparing myself for the moment. Let’s open it. A hat and a scarf, a coarse-grained weave, wooly, grayish. Man, it’s beautiful. Ok, let’s examine it. The first thing crosses my mind is to smell it.

Oh boy! It is killing me! It brings all those glorious moments to my mind. Now, it’s something very special. I have lived with this smell. It has crossed continents and oceans to bring me a smell of those great days I’ve had with you.

In the way back home, it is even colder, but who cares!

Here's your Patriot Act, here's your fucking abuse of power

I just watched the shocking video of the poor Iranian-American student who was attacked by Taser guns of American police at the computer lab in UCLA. In a random check, police asks for his ID, he doesn’t reveal any identity, the police goes out and gets back again asking him to leave. When he’s leaving the lab, an officer approaches him grabbing his arm , the student yells: “Get off me”, at this point another officer approaches, he is repeating “Get off me!” when the second officer shot him with a Taser gun and makes him cry out in pain and fall. This time the student is like "Here's your Patriot Act, here's your fucking abuse of power". Man I liked his line!! The student is all screaming afterwards and the police keep shooting him with those nasty guns. The police is all like “stop fighting us” and “stand up” and the student is all screaming “I’m not fighting you” while he resists standing up. It seems that the gunshot has made him handicapped. The police have threatened the bystanders; they don’t dare to approach! The incident is disgusting.

Oh it seems that they are launching an independent investigation after a protest in UCLA campus. The racist american police is fucking drunk with superpower, and is obviously abusing it. Disgusting!

There's a whole cover of the incident in www.youtube.com , you can find latest movies from UCLA's mess.

Boy I am happy I am studying in Canada. Everything’s in peace in here!

Borat!

Hey, we’ve got a snow shower here! Hope the door gets opened next morning.

I went to that Borat movie! Man it was crazy; it was unbelievably crude and surprisingly comedy! Despite all offensive scenes (yes offensive, I unconsciously covered my face with both hands on some scenes), you can not stop laughing for the whole 84 minutes! I knew Borat, but I couldn’t figure out how crude it could be. But you should confess that this Baron Cohen is a hilarious comedian. Sometimes you forget that he’s just an actor, especially when most of the characters in the movie don’t have the slightest idea that he’s an actor! It’s more like a hidden camera show in these scenes. But, it’s a bit hard to believe that it was the best seller in the box office this and last week, and is rated 8.5 in IMDB!

Next mission is either The Departed or The Prestige. Oh I cannot ignore that Saw III. Imagine… a real silver screen, Dolby digital surrounded sound and the stuff! Boy is it fascinating!

Dimmit! It’s 2am and I gotta wake up early in the morning. Lots of things to do tomorrow…
