Just as the rainbow was God's promise to Noah that the floods will cease, Shrek- The Final Chapter was Mike Myers' personal promise to the world that Shrek movies will cease.
quote of the moment
"Across North Africa and the Arab world, people are rising up against decades of authoritarian rule. This is great news for everyone who cherishes freedom, democracy and the sight of Anderson Cooper getting punched in the head."

looking down at landmarks
It is an eerie, and somewhat terrifying feeling to know that where you work looks down on a landmark...

No fun anymore
Just to ruin everyone's favourite song to massacre the lyrics to, here are the actual lyrics to the chorus of "Breakfast At Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

Parkour
Parkour:
Definition according to wikipedia: Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) is a utilitarian discipline based upon the successful, swift and energy-efficient traversing of one's surrounding environment via the practical application of techniques, based around the concept of self-preservation and the ability to help others.[1] It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, using only their bodies. Skills such as jumping, climbing, vaulting, rolling, swinging and wall scaling are employed. Parkour can be practiced anywhere, but areas dense with obstacles are preferable, and it is most commonly practiced in urban areas. The usage and employment of flips into the named route does not constitute parkour.
What's cooler than that?
England has a Parkour School!!! Parkour Generations... I am adding taking a class to my "things to do" on my next England trip.
Macleans even featured them in their Feb 9/2011 edition...
