Construction or Energizer? Which one lasts longer?

So the house has been under construction for a month. The construction guy has been taking much longer than we thought. Unfortunately, everyone in Toronto is doing construction with an eye to sell (the market it hot, right now), so it'd be hard getting someone else to do the work.

The good news is that the end result is looking pretty good. And my office is closing for a week over the holidays, so I'll have some time to paint and stuff. But still... I want this to be done with.

English as She Is Spoke

I heard on the radio the other day that only 51% of Torontonians say that their first language is English. This down from 54% a few years ago. That's neat, in that whole "patchwork quilt"-kinda way.
