| April 27, 2003: The problem with the new pictures page seems to have been fixed. Some things I learned over the weekend: 1. Cabin bartender is a "Paul" and not a "Trevor." Disappointment and a half, I tell you! He shall still be referred to as "Trevor". 2. Mike's Hard Lemonade does not go bad after sitting in the fridge for 1 1/2 years. Half-opened berry coolers, on the other hand, do. 3. If Melodie's career as a lawyer falls through, she can become an infomercial host/dance movie instructor. (Instructional video to come out soon.) 4. Giant babies are still disturbing. And there does not seem to be an official phobia name for fear of giant babies. 5. Supamodels still have it! More pictures to come soon. Keep checking back. |
| May 8, 2003: Thursday finally! This week I started back at school, and the homework is absolutely insane. I guess I should just be happy that I have classes to go to at all! Interesting links of the week: 1. The OED has decided to add "bling bling" to the dictionary. I wonder if there's a French equivalent for that... 2. Those of you who ever took Rusak's economics class may remember him talking about money being dirty, and never knowing if it had been in a stripper's g-string. Well, now you can! (know, that is) Check out Where's Willy to track your 5-dollar bills! 3. This is just bordering on the absolutely insane [and fake] but I honestly wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure see-through skirts will catch on everywhere! (note: click on the "insane" link. good stuff!) 4. I watched a new movie called Malibu's Most Wanted. Probably not worth Silver City kinda cash, but freakin' hilarious nonetheless! You get to hang out with B-Rad, the wannabe rapper straight outta Malibu. Funny things of note: He has a PHD [poser hatin' degree] and his favourite saying seems to be "don't be hatin'" It's great stuff hahahahaha **Bonus points if you can identify and name all the subordinate clauses in this entry. |

| February 15, 2004: OK, so I've finally come to update my site after some of my peeps filed complaints *cough*melodie*cough*. Unfortunately, it looks like my site is taking up too much space and I can't add much more stuff. Eventually I'm going to have to look at an upgrade. In the meantime, enjoy the few new pages I've added and be patient while I figure out how to change some file sizes around. So check out my new stuff, sign the guestbook, and please be patient if Yahoo tells you my site's unavailable. It just means come back later! Things of note for the week: 1. Typer Shark. Too fun! It's like Mavis Beacon. But not. 2. So there's no more JLB. But they're still cool! 3. Blast from the past for all Ontarians... TVO! Things to look forward to on Palm Tree Central: Christmas pictures, the "Ottawa family Christmas card", cakes, t-shirts, Sunday brunch, updates to Where I Live and more! |
| March 30, 2004: Forget Palm Tree Central, it's birthday central around here! Be sure to check out the new cakes! Michaela, Michelle and I created the best one EVER. I don't know how you ever top a Jets hockey player made entirely of little icing stars. And yes, the colours are right. The colours on your monitor must be messed or something ;) This weekend we met a new friend, the Garden Noam. He's a nice guy and all, but he gave the DPW a run for her money! I think the DPW lost. See the evidence here. Another new friend: the Adrienne Clarkson Action Figure. She's great. And, might I say... she has the most beautiful hat! I've had some complaints *cough*michelle*cough* about the promised Christmas pictures that haven't yet been posted. Maybe I was in DPW mode when I said that, cause I really don't have that many. What I do have can be seen here. There. Happy now? I'm laughing...cause it's funny... Link of note: Customized radio edit in: oops! I called it xmas04 instead of 03. You get the idea. |
| February 22, 2004: Ok, tons of stuff for this week! Childhood memories and mysteries solved: 1. I thought I'd never tried marzipan, but I was wrong. I have had it...way back when in grade 3 when we brought back these fast food-shaped marzipan candies from France. Didn't like it then, and still don't! But at least now I know what I was eating. Always thought it was flavoured wax or something. 2. Marshmallow fluff. Oh. My. God! So I've been wanting to pick some up at the local Blah blah's every time I pass it, but I neve have. Apparently, Gwen was also silently suffering from lack of Fluff in her life and we picked some up for our Waiting for Guffman viewing. (side note: Laurier/Jesus movie place is freeeeeaky!) I am now fairly sure that Fluff is the new Peeps. Sorry, Francis, but unless you volunteer to eat 100g of Fluff, then you're out! To order your own Fluff recipe booklet, sent $2 to "Fluff Recipe Booklet, PO Box 2240, Sain John, NB, E2L 3V4." Or you can get it in .pdf for free on the website. But who wouldn't want pretty colour pictures of Fluff in paper form" Other things of note: 1. The bangs from Guffman. I'm laughing now just thinking about them! (I couldn't find a picture that did them justice. You're just going to have to rent the movie and see.) 2. Vanillin. What is it? Do we want to know? 3. Grenadine shots do not have the same hiccup-relieving effects as lime cordial. Digestion phases are as follows: Cough syrup taste and texture in mouth. Un-hardened jello aftertaste. Throat-coating effect. "Jello" starts to expand in throat. Not so nice. Nasty feeling in stomach. 4. "Secrete" is an awful, awful verb. Almost as bad as giant babies. *shudder* 5. Les Triplettes de Belleville. Go see it. Enjoy it. And then get a tricycle and a whistle, and follow around random cyclists on the street. Why? Cause I'm going to and it's the cool thing to do. 6. Egg smog is the new egg nog. Smagel is the new smore. Fluff+Nutella+bagel=smagel. Mmmmmm 7. We should never, ever see Mr. Raditch working out on an exercise ball in spandex shorts. Yikes. 8. Oksana Baiul should not be allowed on game shows. Actually, maybe just don't put her on TV in general. Yikes. 9. Bangs. hahahhahahahah! Ok, yep. Still funny. Guffman quotes: "If there's an empty space, just fill it in with a line, that's what I like to do. Even if it's from another show." "It's a Zen thing, like how many babies fit in a tire." "People say, 'You must have been the class clown.' And I say, 'No, I wasn't. But I sat next to the class clown and I studied him.'" "Cokes... just drive in and get a Coke, if you're thirsty." "I know how the Kennedys must feel." "Our budget for the entire year is $15,000, and that includes swimming!" |
