IMPORTANT: canada restores citizenship to many. Anyone who was forced to give up canadian citizenship to be citizens of another country (the US used to have this rule) as well as their children.
(digression and explanation of tag: i cannot tell you how much i hate the 'canadia' thing. it drives me nucking bugfutz. it's more lame than funny at this point and it was never funny to begin with.it really should say 'saying canadia makes me want to beat you senseless with a soapstone sculpture* but that won't fit in the tag list. anyway, carry on)
robotic penguins!
stores arranging wine tastings by lunar calendar - does the moon really affect the taste of wine?
cool stuff on ancient retroviruses in the new yorker and scientific american
lightlikewater reminded me of this post I'd bookmarked, by yuki_onna: how to sleep with a writer. this is ... possibly one of the most important posts i've ever read. because it's so very, very true.
miintikwa, who is a very good friend of mine, is trying to raise money to offset her cat's vet bills by offering tarot readings. she is very good at this (i don't tend to trust a lot of this sort of thing but there are several people that seem to hit the mark consistently with me. she is one of these people.) details for tarot readings are at her LJ or her site owl takes flight.
vaguely crummy things about today: sean got into my drawing pencils and i can't find one of them. i'm still kind of tired despite two naps. it's warmer than i'd like in here. i had a random panic attack and i'm not sure i'm completely over it despite klonopin, banana (for potassium - first nutrient your body loses when you're anxious) and emergency chocolate. i haven't really got much done today. sean strew the contents of the trash can across the living room while i was making his snack (which i wasn't able to make earlier because i fell asleep.)
cool things about today: i got some friend-love and some cat-love and some boy-love; the box set of 'blue planet: seas of life' arrived a day early, as did my meds; i got new shoes that fit okay; on disk five of the new box set there's an episode about the amazon (which is awesome because it has river dolphins!) and another episode of antarctica (which is awesome because DUH.) emily cleaned the apartment yesterday while i was in the mri.
*i think only canadians and expats will actually get this joke but i'm tired and irritable, so. it's hot in here. if you want to know feel free to ask.

Rachel was asking me just the other day why people from America are called Americans, but people from Canada are called Canadians, and not Canadans.
I didn't have an answer for that, so maybe you have some insight? I can see why you find it annoying when people use Canadia, but I wonder if it comes from the same thought process Rachel employs.;)
