Running man

I am moving!

I can hardly belive my luck!
I found (it was actually found for me) a two bedroom apartment that I can afford in Victoria BC in the building my Grandmother & Brother live in.

I know I never posted pictures of my trip to Victoria last summer, I was too depressed that we had to leave it, but now I am all happy again!

So PICTURE SPAM!

This is building in which we will be residing.


This is the view from my Grandmother's Apartment balcony.


This is the view from the bridge that I crossed going to the grocery store a short walk from the apartment building.


Same bridge, slightly different angle.


These are the Canada Geese that swim in the gorge all the time and nest along the banks behind the apartment building.


I'm going to get some packing done, more picture spam later.

I am soooooo happy *squeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

Mmmmmm Saucy!

I decided to try my hand at making some Homemade Healthy snacks to have for those "snacking emergencies"

I love me some spicy food and Salsa & Chips is always easy to grab out of the cupboard for a quick bite.

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be wood. Possibly metal. Perhaps a picture. Something written. Or, I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well. We all can make stuff!

Anyone here have some good Pictures of Alan in Frontal and Profile that they could do this with?
I for one would be really interested in the analysis of why he is so attractive. ;-P

One of my favorite funny people has passed away.
Funny with out being foul mouthed.
He was such a great character.
I am sure that in one way or another even if you don't recognise his name you might have seen his face or even heard his infectious laugh.

This is a great clip of Dom, but the embedding feature has been disabled so I can't put it on my journal, but have a look. He has some wise words to say about life.

In one of my favorite animated movies, he played one of my favorite animated characters.
Unfortunately I can't embed that one either.

I love watching movie bloopers....

....they make me want to be part of the movie industry. :D
Speaking of which Dom was also the host of Bloopers for awhile (a TV show about mistakes and bloopers in the film and tv industry for those of you who don't know).

He is in so many funny clips, but I don't want to inundate you with them. I am sure if you are interested you could find some more to make you laugh on You-tube.

I will miss you Dom, and find joy in the works you left behind.

Today I found out what kind of person I am.

I was going to the Greyhound Bus station to pick up my daughter's friend who is staying with us for the weekend.
As I was walking down the street I noticed a small blue car parked along the street and two people getting out. An older man from the front passenger side and a barefoot female from the back passenger side.
They didn't really register on my radar as more than a passing curiosity, that is until I came to six feet from the back end of the car and I noticed that the female was struggling with the man. I could hear her screaming over the music in my MP3 player.
"I don't want to go with you, I don't want to go with you" as he pushed her towards the front passenger door.

He sat her down on the front seat her feet still on the sidewalk as I approached the car my heart beating like a hammer.
She was crying and yelling and I noticed that she was only a teenager.
The man noticed my approach, but I didn't look directly at him until I asked the girl if she was OK.
She hiccuped and said yes she was all right. I then looked at the man and he smiled as he said that her mother, pointing at the woman in the drivers seat, was picking her up and she was just upset over a disagreement they were having. I looked at the girl again but she was back to yelling about how much she hated him and generally going on.
Her mother smiled at me and I flashed a quick smile back. (I know what it's like kids throwing tantrums in public)

I always wondered what I would do in a situation like that, now I know.

I had a good day. :)


Today I had to go to The Largest Mall in Canada(it used to be the largest in the world until The Mall of America) to pick up my daughters  $500. Graduation dinner dress. I only had to pick it up mind you, it's been paid for already by the Grandmother as a gift to her granddaughter. :)
Before I headed out to the W.E.M. (West Edmonton Mall) I stopped by Blockbuster to get a movie.(Nothing on T.V. on Wednesday nights here)
Guess what I found! Bottle Shock! *SQUEEEEE* It's a good thing that my kid wasn't with me, cause when I spotted it and scooped up the last copy I did a little dance in the aisle.
I was disappointed when neither Bottle Shock or Noble Son came to any of our indie movie theaters :( , but I got to see it tonight!

After I picked up the dress, I had to find a box it would fit in, because it didn't come with one. In my search for a box, I found a British Import store. You know I had to go in. While in there I just had to pick up a few treats to eat while watching Bottle Shock. So I bought some Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Tea, Jammie Dodgers(delicious stretchy jam splodged at the heart of 2 yummy shortcake biscuits),Simpkins Raspberry & Cranberry Drops, After Eight Chocolates(in a different shape than we get here) and a Yorkie which according to the package it's NOT for girls! 

When I arrived home I started to prepare dinner, which had to be done in front of the T.V. because Galaxy Quest was on!

My daughter came home from work and we watched Bottle Shock while we ate dinner. She then surprised me by staying and watching the rest of the movie with me instead of heading off to her room after dinner.

I should have known it was going to be such a great day. I woke up this morning from an Alan dream.
Even though the end was kind of weird it was still an Alan dream which I don't have often enough very often. I won't tell you all the boring parts, just where it started to get interesting.
Anyway in my dream I was outside at a normal suburban style house. There were lots of people at the front of the house minding their own business and I was dancing around having fun. Then I started to leap around and found out I could fly. A man I identified as a cousin told me that I should go fly in the back yard as there was no one I could bother back there. So I flew along the path to the side of the house grabbing the branches of the tree overhead, pretending to swing from branch to branch. I was half way to the backyard on the side path when I heard a voice behind me ask if I was enjoying myself. I looked down to see Alan with his fluffy white hair and all dressed in black walking along the path to the backyard. I let go of the branch I was holding and floated down and wrapped my right arm around his shoulders as he reached up to catch me in his arms. I buried my face in his neck, he smelled like musk, dark chocolate, citrus and salt. I couldn't help myself I licked his neck. He laughed and swung me around before he set me down and continued towards the backyard calling over his shoulder "Come and play cards with me" I ran across the grass behind him to a little white plastic table and two chairs.
There was a tall glass pitcher full of Ice tea and lemon wedges. We played cards and drank Ice tea, and I started to feel warm and fuzzy. I giggled a lot and when I stood up to go to the bathroom I felt all wobbly. I came back to the table and sat down to play some more, drinking up my cold Ice tea greedily. Alan cocked his eyebrow at me and in a slow deep voice suggested we play strip gin rummy. I leaned back in my plastic chair then ran my left hand slowly down the side of my neck and down the collar of my blouse while I fanned the cards in my right hand across my face, fanning my flushed skin as I crossed my legs. 
"I don't think that was just Ice Tea in there" I laughed huskily.
He shrugged "Too late now I guess"he laughed"We shall have to continue as we have begun"
"I'm game" I said as I raised my glass to be refilled from the never ending pitcher.
Then in that way dreams have it jumped from one situation to the next and Alan and I were running around the backyard sans clothes, chucking bubbles at each other. They were single blown soap bubbles, but they were huge.
And the weird part that I promised you?
Well both of us were normal from the waist up, but from the waist down it seems that something went wrong, because he had the girl parts and I had the boys. O.o

You Are An ENFJ
The Giver

You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and you usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

In love, you are very protective and supporting.
However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous.

At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential.
You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud
What's Your Personality Type?


Omg it is me........
Yes people have a tendancy to see me as Bossy, ummm that might be cause I have a tendancy to BE bossy.
Iam most of the rest of it as well so it's not all bad.

What my "Boyfriend" has been telling me.

I was going to headline this under OMFG!

George Stroumboulopoulos is a young hip version of a talk show host with some Jon Stewart mixed in. I was catching up with some of his shows, when I saw these bits of news that I thought I would share.  There is only one link for both episodes, but I have given the dates for the show and the time that the excerpt starts at if you want to watch him tell it. (I recommend it)
http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/videos.html?id=1059290401


March 11/09 Excerpt starts @ 43:03
The Province of Alberta has passed a bill to create a new film Czar. This Czar can reclassify films and rate a movie however they see fit  and there is no appeal process. They can also go to the movie theater or the video store and seize films and documents that they deem unacceptable without a warrant. And any employee who breaks the rules would face a fine of up to $10,000. and two years in jail.

March 12/09 Excerpt starts @ 6:26
Starting this Sunday the British government is going to spy on every E-mail sent in or out of the United Kingdom. Gordon Browns government wants to track e-mail for at least a year, they say to stop crime and terrorism like what time of the day e-mails are sent, how many e-mails are sent. Officials also plan to monitor text messages, phone calls and what web sites people visit, just at random so they can watch for anything suspicious and establish pattern. Obviously there are some concerns about privacy but the government says they won't read the e-mails.



I am beyond comment right now it's just...........O.o

Stalker

Twitterpated (not the good kind)

So seeing how so many Hens are on twitter I thought I would take a look.
I'm not really all that impressed.

Firstly.... to find anyone I know I have to put in every possible permutation of their name I can think of.
IE: If I am Looking for Christopher Rogne?
First try Chris Rogne = 3 results
Next try the whole name = 6 different results, mmmm ok
how about C. Rogne = 123 results
Doing this for everyone I know or am related to, or admire = OMFG!

Secondly....After searching twitter for a few interesting people to stalk , ummm follow  er tweet.
I am told that I have reached my search capacity for the time being. WTF???
I guess I can stalk  find people on twitter to "follow" but only so many per day.

Thirdly......but not directly related to twitter itself. I think people who use a Celebrities Name in order to gain something for themselves should be slapped upside the head repeatedly until they get that they are not that Celebrity, so they shouldn't use their name. I am not talking Fan Sites here, but people who are claiming to be someone they are not in order to get "friends", or people to come and look at their web pages.

Fourthly..... As Catsplay pointed out, and many agreed, how many social networks do people really need? I know I don't have as many as other Hens, but I can hardly read them all now, never mind comment or blog. Yet twitter does have an angle that other networks don't.
It's not as involved as other networks, there are no apps, no toys, no games. All it takes is a few words anytime you have a moment.

So to tweet or not to tweet.
That being the question of the day......I think I will wait until tomorrow.
I should be able to use the search function again by then, maybe I will find someone interesting to "follow" *insert evil laugh here*
