ROM is ugly

Toursim Website Includes Toronto Museum Addition On Ugly Buildings List

...I agree. Here is the list, in link form to some images so you can see each of the "ugly" buildings.
And, of course, someone I work with pointed out that there are several buildings that should be on this list, like...
- Walmart
- Golftown
- strip malls in general
And don't forget about that fancy-schmancy Cathedral they want to build in north-end Saskatoon.

2. Zizkov Television Tower; Prague, Czech Republic

LEED Exam

I passed! Easily the most stressful week of my life since school, but I managed to get a passing score. I can now call myself a LEED Accredited Professional, or LEED-AP.
You know what these are? These are the tickets that Crystal and I had so we could go watch the Riders beat Calgary 30-14 to finish 1st in the Western Division...something they haven't done since the year I was born.

A guy at work has season tickets at centre-field, and he wasn't able to go, so he gave them to me (thanks Mike!).

Crystal has never been to a CFL game before, and what a way to cut her teeth. It was a fantastic game. The Riders played great, and despite some crap calls from the ref's, they remained composed and kept getting first downs.

I think the highlight for me was seeing Chris Szarka bust through on third-and-two for about a 50-yard run, and go on to score a TD 2 plays later.

I woke up this morning unable to speak from cheering so much, and a nice headache to match. A booze-free hangover. I think Crys had a good time too, despite cold fingers.
