There are many good ones but a few musts:

The Die Hard series (minus the last one), The Bishop's Wife, Bernard and the Genie.

Kitchener-Waterloo’s holiday-season pantomime is back, and this time it’s at 9 Princess St. E in uptown Waterloo! Come join us for Stuart Arden’s hilarious musical pantomime, directed by Lynn Scott and produced by special arrangement with Lazy Bee Scripts.

Mayhem in China as the wicked Abanaza wields the magic lamp with its great and powerful genie, and captures the Emperor's daughter. Aladdin comes to the rescue, with the aid of Widow Twankey and the camp Genie of the Ring.

This pantomime version of Aladdin is a charming musical comedy that’s family-friendly and appealing to children and adults alike. Jam-packed with familiar songs, Aladdin will have you toe tapping and singing along. As pantomime is an interactive theatre style, it encourages the audience to boo the evil Abanaza and cheer Aladdin all the way through this magic ride across ancient China.


Performances: December 3, 4, 5; 10, 11, 12; 17, 18, 19. To accommodate the little ones, Aladdin begins at 7pm every evening, and also includes Saturday matinees at 2pm.

The show will go on at the newly rebuilt Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre at 9 Princess St. East in Uptown Waterloo. Map: tinyurl.com/9princess

Tickets are $15 for non-members and $10 for members. If you purchase a membership at the door ($25) you get a full year membership and free admission to the show included! That’s an immediate $15 savings, and $5 of every other show for the rest of the 2009-2010 season.

The following is from from a friend of my sister. Please pass on to anyone you think could help.


Hey Everyone

I just need to pass along this information about 70 horses in Woodstock that need a Home ASAP! There owner was killed in a house fire on Wednesday. It is right around the corner from where I live. I am under the impression that there was no will or any instructions left as to what to do with the horses.

http://www.woodstocksentinelreview.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2162531


There was a news segment that aired Nov 10/09 with a surviving son who said that the 70 pasture horses ( Mostly Appaloosa- Very uniquely marked .....some very nice leopard appaloosa!) have 2 weeks to find a home or they are going to auction. Which we all know this means that they might go for meat. This breaks my heart...............

I have personally watched these horses for the last year and a half and they are a beautiful herd, mostly just pasture horses, but horses that would have great potential, I am sure. There was a good dozen foals last year so some are still very young.

I dont have a direct contact to the farm ( I knew the man that died, we used to chat when I walked the dogs) but I dont know any other family members. However if you know of anyone that may be able to help these horses or is interested I will find out contact info and connect you as soon as I can.

Please if you know of any ways to help please let me know and if you could please forward this to as many people as possible, the horses only have 2 weeks before they are sent to auction!!!!

After the last post, I went through the written version of my list and have recorded it here. I have made some alterations to it which brought me a few goals further away from the 101 total. I would appreciate any suggestions! I have no doubt there are things I would like to do that I haven't even thought of yet.

I categorized the goals to make the list easier to follow (for both you and myself). I am already working towards the goals listed here (it's hard not to once they are written down!). I'd like to lock it in for an official start date in the next week. I believe only a few of the goals are truly ambitious, and those are in the travel section.

34 left! :D

I have officially listened to what I have too much.

Recommend some bands/songs to me you think I might like! New, old, crazy, anything goes!

I have a law exam tomorrow. I really need time to study, but we couldn't just leave two puppies on the road.

I don't suppose anyone could lend a hand? Even just come over and hang out/let them out later on this evening until I can get a hold of a rescue group to take them?

Two adorable puppies. One is about 3 months, and one is betwee 3 and 5. Obviously got loose (one had the little ribbon (that blue stuff you use for packing) hanging behind it, broken but still attached to the collar). No tags.

Thanks!

A
TED talk by Sylvia Earle. Her prize winning wish about the oceans. Well worth watching.

It is both awesome and not awesome.

So managed to get some people to retract their "I'm not coming" stance - so I feel like an alarmist, or rather, fear that I will look like one. I am constantly aware that no one knows me - things reflect badly on you easily when you're new. But that same awareness often makes you look suspicious because well, it's odd.

Anyways I really need sleep and maybe I'll feel like I did a less bad job tomorrow!

haha.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas! :D

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Official Winter everyone! :D

Sad because it's true!

I'm considering doing this!

But, being the lemming that I am, I'd like to not be doing it alone. Any takers??
