Yes yes y'all

Look here y'all! A few spelling mistakes, but no worse for the wear.

Brand new album coming out later in '08. Stay tuned!

P.S. I think I just ate a moldy Sesame Snaps snap.

P.P.S. When I took a 26-hour bus ride from Whistler to Edmonton in '05 (against my will) I found the mad chocolate version of these pups. Incredulous.

Yukkin' it up!

Just wanted to give some 'shout outs' to the wonderful talent that was the gentlemen who performed last Saturday night at Yuk Yuk's on Richmond St. Some of my very faves were Mr. Jay Brown, Trix (sp?) and as always, Darrin Rose. I had the opportunity to meet Darrin, too. He was a very sweet guy... and great hugger. His sets are hilarious. I will post a date or two on here sometime so you can partake as well!

Pad Sigh

Last night for dinner I decided to toss a frozen tray of PC Pad Thai into the oven. I had been used to it in the past, was a pretty good dish, thought--when I bought it--yes, I'll buy this dinner again. It'll 'do the trick.'

So last night, I cook it, throw it in a bowl, then tuck in. My, how wrong it was. It didn't taste anything like what I had remembered. I thought to myself, they must have changed this without actually saying 'New!' or 'Improved!' or anything. The whole thing was a disaster. I can't really even begin to explain what a disappointment it was. All I have to say is... no, I don't even have words.

PC, you have left me speechless. And not in a good way.

--I have been writing a lot of negative posts lately, haven't I?

Time to tweak the guestlist for the pool party...!??@#$

Um, I just noticed this morning they have clearly begun to fill the pool... with the garbage still in it.

I give up.

Come to my pool party! Not.

I went here today to submit a 'something to be fixed.'

My something consists of the disgusting outdoor swimming pool in my neighbourhood, and I would not like it fixed so much as I would like it dismantled, slash, destroyed - forever. Maybe I can post a pic of it on here sometime soon. It's a veritable cesspool of bird and other animal shit, debris, garbage, broken furniture (yes, really) and is--needless to say--an awfully hospitable breeding ground for vermin and insects aplenty. The pool opens regularly each summer, but then instantly turns an erroneous shade of fluorescent green and not a soul can be found swimming in it for the remainder of the season.

It's so sad! And such an eyesore. Someone, do something about it!

Will update if the people at the Star get back to me...

P.S. The pool I'm talking about looks n o t h i n g like that sweet little image up there. There is no grass and there are especially no happy children. Only dead things. And dirt.

NXNE

June 12-15 NXNE. Check out the website, yo.

Saturday I'm going to check out the festivities at Dundas Square. I can't wait to rock out to the likes of Spookey Ruben--hitting the stage at 7 p.m.--and hopefully stick around long enough to hear one of my faves Bran Van 3000. I used to love their song 'Everywhere' back in the day... and still do.

What are you waiting for - come on out!!!

Washing instructions: Can't

The heat of the summer has only just begun and I'm already sick to death of the whole flip-flop situation. You know what I'm talking about: donning your favourite pair of flippies only to have your feet turn jet black from the soil of the streets within a couple hours (or less sometimes).

This reminds of last year when I bought a pair of purple flips from Old Navy, which I loooved. I noticed a tiny sticker on the bottom, outlining washing instructions:

Do not use water.

What was I supposed to do, treat them like birds and bathe them in dust? Sheesh!

Apowhat?

Yesterday I saw an ad for clinical trials... and getting remunerated for them. So, today I called the number.

After enduring the joy that is having a file made for me (while I was on hold listening to Rocking Chair by Gwen McRae) and then telling them the "last time I had a puff" was five years ago (maybe) and that I don't suffer from migraine headaches, the question hit--and it was regarding what I do and do not eat.

"I don't eat meat."
"Would you be willing to eat meat for a trial?"
(pause) "No."

Which then led to the end of the call: "You are ineligible for any trials here."

Stellar site

This site from which you can send e-cards is one of the most amazing Internet sites I have come across. Below is just one example of probably millions they have available. It's such a great resource for whiling away the hours at an unfulfilling job. Or, can be appropriate on many other occasions for many other occasions as well. (The perfect plug!)

Visit today!

Thanks for the milk

There is a convenience store on Eglinton Ave. called Milk Depot Thanks Convenience. The K in Milk is tipped slightly to the right, pouring milk all over the Depot.

I'm not kidding.
