Limes with Orange

I'm experimenting with pulling three nouns from the blog post to become the post title. While taking the words out of context may make for a title that doesn't seem to fit the content of the post, I am intending that it will be a title that has meaning on its own. (We'll see how long this continues...)

This Week in Review

Adventures in Film: Aspect ratios? We don't need no stinking aspect ratios! (Source footage with differing aspect ratios... currently the bane of my existence!)

The Culture Corner: Thoroughly enjoyed A Midsummer Night's Dream... Emma Claire was a delightful Helena, combining ribald physical humour with honesty and vulnerability. Now I'm off to see Grease at the Pumphouse this weekend.

Journeys with Judaism: This week I learned about the five different strains of Zionism... I had no idea there were so many. Now I understand why Israel has sooo many different political parties. But I missed out on commemorating Shavuot, which is disappointing.

Political Peeves: Negative campaigning by the Conservatives. Do I believe Ignatieff is the best man to lead the country? No. Do I believe he could do the job 10x better than Harper? Yes. So grow up and stop attacking the man; debate the politics instead.

Rants: Now that we finally have beautiful weather, I'm unfortunately reminded of the number of smokers in the world. I roll down my car window to feel the breeze... and inhale the cigarette smoke of the driver in front of me. I open the window of my apartment to get some fresh air, but it's tainted by the people sitting on their balconies having a smoke. I dream of a day when smokers are forced to only smoke in opium-type dens and the rest of us never have to be subjected to such foul stuff again. Until then, try to have a little consideration for the people around you!

Random Musings: Since Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to Moses, I've had a certain clip from Mel Brooks' "History of the World: Part I" going through my head...


Quest for Quotes: You can bomb the world into pieces, but you can't bomb it into to peace.
