Well it's over
Well Thanksgiving came and went, it's gotta be one of the laziest holidays. I don't think anyone can move after stuffing themselves full of turkey lol. I'm so glad we skipped it.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
To all my fellow Canadian blog readers:). Happy Thanksgiving or Happy Turkey Day:). My family and I did Thanksgiving without turkey again this year. We had duck instead. Much tastier, more tender and you don't have that sleepiness effect that you usually get after eating turkey.

Kim Clijsters to return sooner then expected
Kim is hoping to return to the game a week earlier then she originally planned because her wrist injury is healing a lot faster. She initially planned to return at the Oct. 30-Nov. 5 Gaz de France tournament in her home city of Hasselt.
Now she may play at the Generali Ladies Linz event in Austria. I hope it happens, it's been a while and I've really missed watching her play. Although I know a lot of people would like her to come back later because they want Martina to continue winning and I guess not have to run into her. But I want her back because she's retiring in 2007 anyway so I want her to play a little more before she leaves.
Here is a Yahoo article confirming the news:

Avril Lavigne spits on the paparazzi
Apparently this has happened twice at the Hyde nightclub in L.A. Avril has apologized for it but interestingly the apology was towards her fans and not the photographers. That's so Avril lol.
Although I do think spitting is a bit juvenile, I can't completely disagree with her course of action because the paparazzi have no shame or regard for safety when it comes to getting pictures. And I lost whatever respect I may have had for them after what happened to Princess Diana.
Also it's not like Avril is the only celebrity to lose it when it comes to the paparazzi. Plenty of other celebs have done much worse things, hey at least Avril didn't punch them or break their equipment lol.
This may be old news to some people, but I just thought I would mention it for those who haven't heard it.

What's good in music this week

Well the new Evanescence album "The Open Door" comes out today, I have listened to it courtesy of the AOL Full CD Listening Party.
And I have to say it is a really good album but not as good as their debut. My favourite songs are "Call Me When You're Sober" and "Weight of the World". I also like "All That I'm Living For" and "Lithium". For those of you who haven't heard it yet, you can listen to it on AOL's Listening Party:
http://music.aol.com/songs/new_releases_full_cds.adp
The album will only be available for listening till this Monday, after that the album selection changes to whatever happens to come out that week.
Anyways go take a listen if you haven't already got it, and judge for yourselves;).

Happy Birthday to the Swiss Miss!
Forgot to post this earlier, Happy Birthday! to my all time favourite Tennis player Martina Hingis. Who turned 26 yesterday:).
Still hard to believe it wasn't that long ago that she was winning grand slams at the age of 15. And the scary thing is she's only a couple of years older then me lol. I guess it should be Happy Belated Birthday since it's after midnight.
