Meet Sir Morris
Meet Sir Morris, a new addition to my life. He’s 4 years and 4 months old adopted from the Toronto Humane Society. He likes to sleep on the bed by my feet at night. He purrs loudly whenever he is petted and always up for a cuddle. Sir Morris is a bit of an early bird and likes to wake up at 6am but if you let him poke you enough, he’ll eventually let you sleep in some more. His ears perk up and his eyes widen whenever he hears birds chirp. Favourite hangout spot: the rocking chair.

National Anthems of the World
During the hockey game last night, the topic of national anthems came up. Out of curiosity, I asked my friends which national anthem they preferred from a music point of view, the American or the Canadian one. One of my friends preferred the former and another friend of mine preferred the latter. Thinking about this further inspired me to find a source to hear all the national anthems around the world, so I did a search on YouTube this morning and found a channel that collects all the anthems, some of them even come with translated lyrics.
Check out the National Anthems YouTube Channel
I came across some beautiful ones like:
Saami
Mauritania
Question still remains whether people can pick to sing national anthems in karaoke bars. :)
