Fête Nationale

For St-Jean Baptiste day they had the parade. It was very big, I have seen it on TV. They had people downtown more than any other parade. And there was a party right near Victoria, there is a big big park. And they made a huge big cake as big as my dining table. And they cut it and they gave everyone a piece. I never saw such a cake like this.

They had the pride parade in Toronto and other places

They had the gay pride parade in Toronto and San Francisco and other places. They were marching and celebrating and there was one man in Toronto on a bicycle wearing no clothes with his shendoul was out, naked. In Montreal they do it next month.

There were always gay people, even in Baghdad. I remember my auntie had a maid and she used to dress up like a man with a man's jacket and she used to bring her girlfriend with her to sleep with her. We used to give them a room on the side of the house. They say it's about ten percent of the people in the world are gay, and I believe that. It used to be quiet, but now people talk about it. Anyways, people are accepting it, they are more familiar with it.

A ride with Haim to Toronto

I asked Haim if we can go, Terry and I if we can get a lift in the car to Toronto for the wedding. He said he doesn't mind, but when do you want to go? I said Friday, he said yes, I want to go also on Friday. I'm going to be sharing a room with Terry, it's a big room. Have you seen it? It's a nice room with two big beds. We have a lot of time now, the wedding isn't for a few months.

Egg patties

I made patties with eggs and parsley and green onions, it's delicious. I don't put too much oil, I do it on a slow fire, it doesn't take too much oil. And I put bread crumbs and salt and pepper. It's very nice.

Some people do it, the whole thing in the pan, and it makes one big one and you flip it and it's done. Then you cut it up into small pieces. Most of the work is in chopping the parsely. Sometimes I put a potato. Yes, it's nice.

My dress for Lisa's wedding

I have a nice dress for the wedding, I'm just doing few alterations on it to make it nice for the wedding. And I'm looking forward for Lisa she's coming to Montreal to renew her driver's license. I'm going to show her the dress, it will be very nice.

I don't like Dr. Phil

Dr. Phil is really stupid. He fights with all his clients all the time.
"How come you said this and this and that to your wife? My producer told me you said this, and he said that." Oprah helped him to open up his talk show. He was her lawyer and once she said something about religion and they tried to sue her, and he helped her. Every tuesday he was on her show and now he has his own show. I don't watch that, he's really stupid. But he must be making tons of money.

A party for Paris

Paris Hilton's parents are bargaining for a hotel to make a party for when she gets out of jail. A get out of jail party. How far can these celebrities go? How spoiled can they be? But now she says she's grown up and now she's not going to act stupid anymore. She's 26 and she says she's going to change. Can you imagine such a thing? A party for getting out of jail? In Los Vegas they're going to have it.

This blog

You people who are reading this, tell me what's your opinion? Who are you? What do you think of a Grandma like this? Six grandchildren, God bless them. I should have been great grandmother, believe me. My grandchildren are of the age.

I went to the park with Roxy

When I was in Toronto I went with Roxy to the park near Vera's house, a nice park, so quiet and nice. And we rode on all the rides. I went with Roxy on the see saw and it was so low to the ground, like for children, but we rode on it. And I went on the swing and Roxy pushed me and I said "no, no, no, not so high!" Then Roxy went on the slide and she said, "Grandma, catch me!" Really, it was such a nice day.

Christina and Paris and Angelina and Diana

Christina Aguilera, she's pregnant. I heard it on Access Hollywood, they say she's pregnant. Weh aliha, she a real, I don't know. All these people Paris Hilton, I don't know who else, they are spoiled rotten. And Angelina and Bratt and the children swimming together, they children wear the same same bathing suit as the father. How many children do they have together, Angelina and Bratt? I don't know.

You know who I feel sorry for? Princess Diana. She was pretty and a princess and she had two children and they killed her. Poor thing, she was good.

Lisa is having a shower

I was talking to Lisa, I didn't get her invitation yet. She sent the out of town people a bit earlier. They have a shower now. Vera said are you coming for the shower? I said, "Vera, I came for the engagement, and I came for Alvina's bar mitzvah, and I'm coming for wedding, what does she want from me?" I think they should stop this shower business.

Maybe they'll serve a ke-baaahb for the wedding. Ke-baaahb, in a New Zealand accent.

The liquor store

I was in Toronto this weekend and I went for a walk with Roxy and we dropped in to a liquor store, the biggest liquor store in toronto. She said it was a train station, it used to be one. We drank, I don't know the names of the alcohol, but we had some samples. And it tasted very nice, it was some kind of wine, they were promoting it. Roxy said she'd buy a bottle for me. And they had cheese and crackers, I ate a few different kinds of cheese. And there was music, accordion and guitar. So they had music and cheese and wine. They had a contest also, we filled up two slips for a motorcycle, if I win it I will give it to Carlie. Terry will be upset if I give it to him. She took my email, they'll answer me with my email.

Julian

Yesterday I took a class of stretch and afterward there was a class of flamenco and the name of the teacher's name Julian and he's from Mexico I think. He says you have to think about the music. It's a floordance, you're on the floor it's not like you're flying like a ballerina, you have to listen to the music. He says you have to imagine that you're in front of the toro, and he's coming to you and you have to scare him and go away from him. I join it once in a while just for fun. After the class people say, "are staying? are you staying for the flamenco?" But I just do it just for fun. I think I'm going to take it Tuesday, and I can eat my lunch, I take it with me, before the other class. He teaches on Sunday too but I can't go on Sunday I want to join a bridge club.

Bookface

I heard yesterday big big article about bookface. A big page on the Gazette. This is where you go if you want friends, they're telling everybody it's on the computer and they're telling everybody how to get into it and how many people join everyday on it. They said some people don't want to talk about everything so you can write on the top "private." But not many people would like to be on it. In the article they say it's a good "social network." Ah, it's not bad if you read about other people. It is a kind of friends. I like it, yeah, but not everybody likes it. Terry wouldn't like it. I ask everybody, "are you on bookface? you can find me on bookface."

Alvina's bar-mitzwah

I spoke to Chaim, he's going to bring me to Toronto for the bar-mitzwah of Alvina's son. It's going to be very religious, I'm sure it's going to be the men dancing hora together separately and the women dancing separately. And he's going to read the whole thing, not just haftorah and his part. And then when the sun goes down, it's going to be very late, after 8:30, he's going to do the havdallah.

I'm going to make some sandwiches for Chaim and for Naima for the way and I'm going to bring some fruit. And some wine for Alvina also, she invited me for dinner. I'll wrap it between the sandwiches. And Roxy and Lisa and John are invited. It will be fun with them.

Poor Paris Hilton

Poor Paris Hilton, I think she will be bored. She's not used to it and she's going to find it very difficult. Though I saw her on Access Hollywood, she said she was ready and she's strong but I wonder what she will do without her phone, i think she'll be bored and she'll be tired in such a small room, she's not used to this.
Who can be in a small little room like this? She won't be like she was last night. But she shouldn't get any privilege as a celebrity.

She was so pretty on Access Hollywood. She has something, you know, she's very pretty. And her dresses. It's not that she wants to be a celebrity for nothing, she's pretty. And she loves those paparazzi always taking pictures. We'll see what happens. They'll tell us everyday what happens. It's fun, I like to see what happens.
