| February 1, 2003: I've been inspired by Tam Tam and other sites (and maybe a bit by boredom) to start writing a bit for my "peeps." (They would be the three people that somewhat-regularly visit my site. One lives a couple feet away from me and the other two would be my parents.) Speaking of peeps... that reminds me of that Malcolm episode where Francis was challenged to eat 100 peeps... hahaha... funny... actually, it was kinda gross... still, nothing beats Dewey and his "how much does my head weigh" episode. Ah, the laughs... Anyhow... yesterday the bible (well, the second bible... we all know that the Robert-Collins is the real bible) announced that chocolate is the new health food! Don't believe me? Check it out here. What a fascinating concept! Apparently, multi-coloured furry pumps are out, and giving your kid a "different" name is in! And here I thought sticking an "ey" on K-a-t was weird! Sosie? Sy'rai? 10 ways to spell "Haley"? What are people thinking?! In case you haven't caught on yet... anything underlined is a link to some fun related site! Peace out! [insert awkward rapper-ish motion here]. Go Gee Gees! |

| February 8, 2003: Well, it's been a whole week. Hmm, I wonder how many people even read it! I just finished scanning a bunch of pictures for Melodie, so be sure to go check out the updates to her website. Things of note for the week: From the Fulcrum... "Although often misplaced, I enjoy dealing with the concerns of students..." --Caen Suni, SFUO President That was the first sentence of a letter to the editor from our school president. Whoa! Can we say misplaced modifier?! I hardly think that he's often misplaced while he deals with our concerns. Arg!! Has nobody heard of a proofreader?! Maybe we shouldn't worry about having members of our executive master both official languages if they can't even master their mother tongue! From the Writing Tips section of TERMIUM: bad: In modern slang usage, bad can sometimes mean good. That is one bad pair of shades, dude! Hahaha...If only all government documents could be written in modern slang! Hahaha... thanks to Michaela for finding that one! I caught an episode of White Fang this morning while Melodie and I waited patiently for the non-airing of the final Endurance episode. Who will it be?? Aaron and Jonna (pronounced John-eh... maybe she could go on my weird name list...) or Jon and Sabrina? I just can't take the suspense! So anyways... White Fang... one of those classic old Canadian shows. Back from when the Chicago Bulls were "in" (or bad). Brought back memories of Danger Bay. If I knew how to make polls, I'd make a canada.com-ish poll on people's favourite Danger Bay episode. Mine would have to be the forest fire episode when Jonah saves the little girl. *sigh*Jonah. On that note, check out Yesterdayland for some great memories. Peace out! |
| February 8, 2003 #2: A record! Two in one day! Ever heard of Braubles? Well you have now! And... for anywhere between $10.99-19.99, you can own some! Soon to be seen on many a Supamodel (or super, for that matter), Braubles are little ornaments for your bra. That's right! I'm sure you've always wanted something like that! They have little words of inspiration so, as the inventor says, you "can wear it close to [your] heart." Awww, how sweet! I wonder how quickly these will catch on. Maybe they'll be as popular as pregnant Barbie! Haven't heard of it? Neither had I... It's actually pregnant Midge, Barbie's oldest friend. And she comes with an "openable" belly, curled up baby and a wedding ring. Just to get that straight! (also sold separately is daddy Alan, so we'll assume it wasn't Ken that knocked her up!) So why on earth would American Wal-Marts be pulling her off the shelves?! Sound like good clean fun to me! (That's assuming they haven't gotten as realistic as A Baby Story and included a "realistic" just-born baby. Ewwwww) |
| February 23, 2003: Apparently, mini-skirts are the "new thing." Fine, I can deal with that... but encouraging people to wear pants under them? no no NO! That's just plain wrong!! I once saved a young girl from making this fashion mistake. And what a proud moment that was! If only I could help everyone out there! In slightly older news, if you haven't been to a lacrosse game, you're missing out! Go see the Rebel! Luckily the fun music, boys in shorts and dancing girls can make us forget the fact that they should probably be called "Rebels" and not "Rebel." Yes, you heard me... they have dancing girls! Go check out Melanie. She has the coolest occupation in the world: philanthropist and socialite! We can all dream of doing that one day... speaking of realizing your dreams. I know we've all had the dream to be the hottest person in America [or Canada]! Right...What has the world come to?! Then again... I did watch it... "I'd give your face an...8.2..." hahaha. p.s. go Ryan! |
| March 8, 2003: Happy Weekend! I have tons of cool things for you to check out today! If you're looking for a way to spend a little time... go check out this awesome Internet tennis game. It'll keep you busy for hours and hours! Now I know each and every one of you was extremely disappointed when your favourite tv show was cancelled. Have Mercy! Stop crying and check this out! The next items are perfect Christmas gifts for that special person in your life. Who wouldn't want one of these or one of these? It's great, really. And lastly, here's a suggestion for a new writing tip... because really, "bad" is so last week! "Damn yo, her ass be goin badonkadonk!" Looks very similar to this, doesn't it? Peace out homies! hahaha ok... just had to add something. How freaky is this? |
| march 1, 2003 got deleted. oops! |
| March 16, 2003: Wow... flashback to Christmases past, I tell ya! Check this out! I created this in honour of Melodie's graduation. Click on the picture to see her real grad pictures and to vote for one! [this is where her picture would be!] ok, so her hair's not that red, but that was the closest I could get! We made it out skating on the canal last night--and it was just in time. Thanks to our plus-8 weather today, no more canal for a whole year! We also saw a bunch of people get their heads shaved for cancer and be auctioned off as helper monkeys. I'm definitely regretting not bidding on the "personal entourage" one. (Think this, without Bush) Oh, the possibilities! We also got some pictures (no, unfortunately no personal entourages)... but Melodie and Trevor pulled an awesome Shae and Vic!! As soon as I get them developed, they'll be posted! |
| March 23,2003: Happy Birthday Michaela! It's a spring day out today... and I have some more great things for you to check out! First, take a look at my new page Dolls. I've found another great way to spend tons and tons of time! If you want to try your hand at designing, check out the site here. Here's some questions I bet you ask yourself every day... "where would I get a cardboard cutout of myself?" or even, "how would I go about getting an action figure of yours truly?" Well, since I'm apparently the google queen, I've figured it out for you! For a pretty penny, you can get yourself immortalized in plastic! How cool would that be! Check out this cool site... All for now. Happy spring! |
| April 22, 2003: Just a quick update. I added some pictures in the nouns section. April 18, 2003: Well, it's been a while... I know. But I'll try to make up for it! First of all, happy Easter weekend! I have 4 full days off work. This is heaven! Speaking of all things heavenly, I just finished reading Our Lady of the Lost and Found. Now I'm seeing Mary all over the place! She's in pictures, backyards, on roofs! I tell ya... flashbacks to Cap Trinite and the "hike" from hell. (p.s. Amazon has a different cover. And frankly, it's way more freaky!) Since it's the Easter season, and I have a new obsession with peeps, be sure to check this out. You can even join an official Marshmallow Peeps fan club! A premium membership ($14.95) will get you posters, tshirts, hats and all sorts of cool stuff! We just caught a "rockin" episode of the Fresh Prince with our very own sex bomb! That's right! I mean, who wouldn't want him as a guardian angel?! If only Melodie had thought to call on her guardian angel when she was picking law schools. Maybe she could have done a duet! We'll just have to hope that her guardian angel isn't Christina Aguilera. Cause she'd probably encourage Melodie to become a stripper. Right... Stupid Jenny Jones and "silly" parents who like to blame their children's skanky dressing habits on pop stars. Shame on you! Moving on to even sadder news, the American "public" (sorry, but dumb as they are) voted Kimberly Caldwell off of American Idol. Maybe they got their Kimberleys mixed up. Locke must go! Haha.. Check out the voting guidelines on the Kim page! "Try to average at least 3 votes per minute." "Set a goal of at least 350 votes. Do not stop until you reach that number or until the phone lines close." Obviously that didn't work, did it?! Finally, did you notice a few "misused" quotation marks? This is "classic!" If you've ever the the "The One Where Emma Cries" Friends episode, you'll totally understand! Well, homies, I'm outie! Tell all your friends and be sure to sign my guest book. p.s. having signed it 2 months ago doesn't count! |
