view Month in time blocks?

In iCal when you view appointments in Week view, they show as blocks of time.

Is it possible to see appointments in Month view the same way? (as blocks of time).

To me it seems like a logical necessity.

'Hey have you got three hours to catch up with me sometime in the next few weeks?'

'Sure, let me just check my month in iCal... oh wait, atm i can only see full day block outs or appointment start times! let me switch to Week view and move back and forth through the upcoming weeks'

Really?
