Don’t miss out on some hockey and yes, the food…. Go CANADA!
Has Olympic fever gotten you yet? If you are following the Olympic coverage, there is much talk of the noticeable lack of winter in Vancouver (at least on Cypress Mountain), much secrecy and speculation as to who will light the Olympic cauldron (Wayne Gretzky vs Betty Fox, Terry Fox’s mother) during the Opening Ceremonies and whether or not Canada will be able to win gold medals on home soil (which we have not previously done). With the Games officially commencing in day and a half (Opening ceremonies take place Friday night, 6pm) you may be at a loss as to what to watch and who to follow. Here’s a brief primer – by no means complete – on some of our athletes going for gold in Vancouver:
What are your feelings about seeing a movie on the big screen as opposed to watching it, say, on your iPod Touch? Well if you think it’s worth going to the theatre there are two film festivals on now playing films that you could easily rent at any video rental shop. First there is the Digital Film Festival playing at ScotiaBank theatre from the 5th to the 11th, which will have classic films like The Godfather I and II, Terminator 2, The Shining, Shawshank Redemption, and more. As well, there is the Best of The Decade, art film festival being organized by Cinematheque Ontario, and being held at The AGO. Here you can find critically acclaimed foreign films that did not necessarily have a large North American release. Tickets are not full price, with the digital film festival costing $5 a show, and the art film festival costing $6.50 for students. I think it’s totally worth the effort to see a film on the big screen, so check out the links if your interested: http://www.cineplex.com/Events/DigitalFilmFest/Home.aspx http://www.cinemathequeontario.ca/programme.aspx?programmeId=298

Jorge Cham, the author of Piled higher and Deeper (PhD) comics, is coming to speak! His comics are hilarious and continually reflect grad school life – if you haven’t read them, then you’ve been missing out: phdcomics.com. And I’ve heard he gives a great talk as well, so get your ticket to check it out! He’ll be here on Monday March 8 at 3pm (at MacLeod auditorium, Med Science Building) Tickets are limited so get them in advance – bring your $10 to either Megan in mars (4-601H) or Vanessa in PMH (10-126), or bring it to seminar and get your ticket there. He’s also going to be available during the day, so if you’re interested in showing him around the lab/hospital, and maybe getting to be IN one of his comics, then email the organizers: phdcomics.toronto@gmail.com. Thanks all! Megan
