Here's a little .gif I gleaned from theoatmeal.com - His response to SOPA ..

Remembrance

Somewhere in the late hours of the day or the wee hours of the night over January 16/17, 1997 a friend of mine accidentally overdosed. He was at a party. He took some drugs. He took some more drugs. He got sleepy and told his girlfriend to wake him up in the morning when their ride came. But he didn't wake up.

His name was Aaron and I learned some things from him:

• Dutch guys can rap
• bats can be kinda cute
• guys who wear Gwar shirts and paint their nails black can get along quite well with artsy, jock girls
• one person's influence can ripple through an entire community
• I can take a man seriously when he's wearing an almost skin tight tiger costume (we had many drama classes together)

So every year since he died, I take a minute to think about him, to think about what might have been, how his family has been and what I can learn from his life to make mine better, 'cause I'm still here.

Burning Down the House

This is an amazing cover of Rhianna's Please Don't Stop the Music as done by The Bird the Bee.

In Yer He-ad...

My brain made up the following song while I was procrastinating from getting dressed this morning:

(to the tune of There's a Hole In My Bucket)

Oh, where are your pants,
Dear Laura, dear Laura?
Oh, where are your pants,
Dear Laura, your pants?

I hate them,
Dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry.
I hate them,
Dear Henry.
I hate my pants.

Not The Peaceful Night He Bargained For

There was a spider in my blue kazoo.  He got rocket launched across the room as I blew my blue kazoo.

Have You Ever?

Have you ever put all the pants you like to wear in the same load of laundry shortly after waking up and then gone to change out of your pyjamas and realized that you just put every pair of pants you like to wear in the same load of laundry?

I may or may not have done that this morning.

Medical Dramas

Over the summer and early this fall I've watched a lot of Grey's Anatomy and House.  I really like these medical dramas, a lot of people do.  I was trying to remember if there were any Canadian medical dramas on when ER became popular.  There may have been and obviously they were so fantastic that I can't remember them.  So I wondered about a couple of new Canadian medical dramas...


CDD - Canadian Diagnostics Division - Basically a copy of House, but with two significant differences. 1) Canadian health insurance - so there is less drama about how to pay for blood tests and tonsillectomies. 2) Wait times - "Get him a cdc, ldh, pcp, and a ct scan."  "Ok doctor.  I'll have the results to you in 6-8 months."

Spiritual Services Squad - Highly dramatic writing with emergency prayers, conversions, religious conflict, personal faith crises, love affairs, cranky director, differences in ideologies and philosophies, races to give the last rights, existential battles over the existence of higher beings, so many possibilities!

All Your Problems Are Solved

Christmas is around a very large corner.  Last year I provided a boat load of fantastic gift ideas.  I believe most of them were ignored.  The exception being the delightful pedicures my lovely cousin Katherine and I had. 

I am promising to do better this year.  I believe I have solved all of your Christmas gift problems.  No more will you sit around, scratching your head until it bleeds, wondering what to get your mother-in-law.  Battles between couples that degrade into vase throwing and fire poker swinging over plasma televisions and stairmasters will dissolve into sixties-esque love-ins.

This glorious gift-o-rama is a website for a Hamilton, ON based business.  You can get every gift you need for really, any season, all from this one website, all from the comfort of your own home.

Bacon Tree

This joke comes by way of the beautiful Nikki Gerrits (who got it from her Mom):


(please forgive any racial stereotyping)

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States , wandering aimlessly and starving. They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says.........

"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk."

"Si, Luis, eet sure smells like bacon. "

With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand dune, & there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon.

There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon ..... every imaginable kind of cured pork.

"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Ees a bacon tree."

"Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don't forget."

"Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon...ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree."

And with that, Luis staggers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock. Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath,

"Pepe... go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!"

"Luis, Luis mi amigo... what ees it? "

"Pepe.. ees not a bacon tree. Ees


Ees


Ees


Ees



Ees a ham bush...."

Not Sweetest Of Ideas

I have to get some blood work done as a part of my yearly physical.  My doctor thought we should do the kind where I fast for 12 hours.  I'm about to hit hour 4 of not eating, which is not exactly a feat worth heralding.

In an act of distraction I've been doing some "surfing" of the "world wide interweb" and without thinking ended up at a site about cake.

Cake as you may know is a food - a delicious, delectable food.  I like to have cake in my hand, my mouth and my stomach.  I like vanilla cake with lots of icing.

That last rant just made my stomach hurt.  I'm going to stop looking at cakes on the internet and perhaps read the news instead.  It'll be more stomach turning, which will help with my stomach's yearning.

Also - http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ is awesome, go there, now.

I saw my first zebra a week ago.  Actually maybe it wasn't my first.  I probably saw one at the Toronto Metro Zoo when I was a wee lass, so...uh... ok: I saw my first zebra in Bowmanville.
