Friday Five

Summer bound

1. How many foreign countries have you visited?
Honestly? I don't even own a passport...but I sure have Driven around the States alot...

2. What do you always take with you on vacation?
It used to be tradition to take the Christmas Pickle with me on all troad trips...mostly 'cause we used to do our annual road trip Right after Christmas, the grisl would get in the car and travel to whever Gloria was living at that time for New Years. It's a cactus that when turned on dances and sings Feliz Navidad...and it look slike a pickle. Now? Now i just make sure I have new road trip CDs....or my iPod.

3. Name something you've lost recently:
...my damn Razor Heads....I just bought the damn things and i can't find them....my legs are getting fuzzy...

4. Do you prefer action packed vacations or relaxing ones?
My life is action packed enough....although at one point I did want to train for the Eco Challenge...for now though, i'll take wandering and vegging out to Xtreme Vacations....

5. Other people's vacation photographs: do you really want to see them?
Depends on where they went. Looking at Julie's pics of Europe Really made me wanna go.....also depends on how god a photographe they are...let's face it, I can only look at so many badly shot pictures of peoples chest area...not that I don't like looking at the chest area...heh heh...ah never mind....

And that's it! Off to a weekend of camping and....vegging....

Apocalypse Now?

It's the end of days I think. I mean, the signs are all there...the hail, the storms, the Brangelina child. Brink of war in the Gaza strip, North Korea getting ready to test nukes, the passing of the date 6/6/06, it's all there. I've even been having nightmares about alien attacks...so my question to you is, are you prepared?

I was thinking that maybe I would get ready for this impending doom by doing some push-ups, stocking up on some canned goods,maybe playing some video games (not only then honing my already cat-like reflexes, but also taking advantage of any down time left before being called upon to fight off Demon hordes...I mean, I've seen the movies, those guys Never have down time...). Now all I have to do is round up my ragtag troupe of heroes, and my trusty animal sidekick, as well as my already in place love interest and wait for the Stuff to hit the poop fan. Thank goodness I now have access to a truck...it'll make the perfect "kick ass" vehicle...

Quick notes on Debauchery

Debauchery rocks. You can never quite get enough...by definition really...

Pride was pretty damn good. Pretty damn great. Spent lots of hours in altered states, in shmoopy stares, and in good company...

Glad I could be there, and look forward to next year.

Hope y'all had a good weekend.

More notes on debauchery to follow, just not today.

Ya!

Friday Five

Last Firsts... [23 Jun 2006|08:14am]


1. What was the last new song you discovered?
I download stuff all the time, usually in spurts...the last spurt involved Psapp, Freeform Five and Jose Gonzalez (who I highly reccomend), all of which I hadn't heard before.

2. What was the last new dish you tasted?
New?...geez...Kate makes me try some things, but I can't remember the last...oh wait, Garlic snapes! we had them last night (stupid stupid stupid...)

3. Where was the last place you visited for the first time?
Tottenham...for the Wild Wings (also highly reccomended...50 flavours of wings, who can go wrong?)

4. Who was the last new person you met?
Probably someone at work (I work in film so every six months you switch the crew you're working with...), or someone at Justine's birthday...

5. What was the last new toy you played with?
Toy? Geez....do games count? Like Playstation? Although I don't know the last New one I played...Maybe My Mini Dunk? Not so new now (like a month old?) but it is a toy...and i do play with it...

And...Done!

You'd be Proud Too, if You had My Ass...

It's Toronto Pride week folks. So I expect lots of liver damage, and lots of naked people of the good and bad varieties both. Hope to see you all out there, shaking your groove thangs, and doing body shots off of strangers. Or not...to each their own.

Who Buys this Crap?

I'm a yahoo mail user. And I don't knwo about you, but recently there's been this surge of Spam involving stocks and the stock market. And it makes me laugh. Have you ever read this stuff? Today I got an e-mail entitled "complacency calcium". And it was for a stock. A stock that "is Going To Explode next 2-3 Days!!!". 'When This Stock Moves - WATCH OUT! This is your chance to get in while it is still low. Big watch in play this Tuesday morning! Put AGAO on your radar's now."

First, if you've ever gotten these e-mails (and read them...yes I do, but they fascinate me), usually the grammar is ten times worse than this. Like it's written by some small Indonesian child who is using "7 habits of highly effective people" as a guide to making money through the use of Spam.

Which brings me to my second universal inquiry. Who writes these things? Seriously. Is this the product of one of those flyers you see stapled to telephone poles? "Work at Home, Earn Big Bucks!"...write e-mails convincing dumb-asses to buy stocks. Do they do this from home? Are there many of them, in a room, comparing notes as to who's nailed the "essence" of their particular sale item in words. Do they have a target demographic? Do they make commission? Are they monkeys and this is all some animal plot to stimulate the sale of their Calcium Stock (which isn't all that dumb...seeing as success would drive the share price up, thus making their Calcium the cool stock on the block...damn monkeys, always outsmarting us...).

Who shops for stocks in their Spam? Who gets one of these e-mail and thinks to themselves "you know, they might have something here. I haven't invested in the stock market yet, but this might be my big break. I'll just ignore the bad grammar...I mean really, you don't Need to know how to Spell to know a good Stock. Heck, I'm in." You know who does that? Dumb-asses, that's who! Dumb-asses who deserve to lose their money to monkeys......and American Idol viewers......

Friday Five on....Monday!

Dude

Name your favorite...

1. Candy:
Chocolate...Pie...Wonderbar (chocolate)....Pecan (pie)...i like sweet things...(yes babe, like you...)

2. Cookie:
Gotta go old school and say chocolate chip...although, if they were more readily available, I loooove those shortbread cookies with cunks of choclate in the middle...they have a name...i just don't remember it.

3. Donut:
Boston Cream, or double chocolate, dependent on mood.

4. Cold drink:
Beer! and fountain pop, of the Coke variety.

5. Hot beverage:
Coffee, and hot chocolate...

And that's it. have a good week!

Pump it Out!

Alright, back to the grindstone. My life is, well, unique in some of it's aspects. One of them being that I only truly work, as in hold down a day job, for like half to 3/4s of the year. And this year, my day job started last Tuesday. Until then I hadn't been working steadily in about 7 months. it all has it's good and bad points.

But now, now that I'm back to work, earning steady pay, driving a vehicle, it's time to git er done. Time to make the list, check it twice, find out who's naughty...and get their number (kidding baby...I only want your number...and some of your hot friends maybe...). There's alllll kinds of things I've been meaning to get out of the way...some i've just been putting off for the sake of not doing anything that invovles movement or thought ("i am a Superhero with no particulaer power or motivation"). Looks like I might have to adopt a new code.

So I guess it's time to get a go on. My coffee mug awaits me, as does paper work, my drill, and a lovely box of unfinished projects. You ain't seen Nuthin' yet....

Friday Five

Whoa!

1. Do you play cards?
Absolutely. Love it. Poker, Euchre, Hearts, Asshole, Knife you Neighbor, anything BUT Crazy Eight Countdown...That game is time you will never get back.

2. Do you have any rings on your hands?
Yup. Two right now, but always one at least. Used to be my Superman ring, 'till fate took it away. now it's my cross...until fate takes it away...

3. Would you describe yourself as innocent?
Hardly. Even if I am, people usually blame me anyways.

4. What do you think of chivalry?
Not enough of it around.

5. Have you seen The Thomas Crown Affair?
The original, not entirely. The remake, many times.


How these questions relate to each other, I don't know. I just do what I'm told.

Friday Five on Saturday (again)

So this weeks Friday Five is (i think) a little lame. Why? Because I feel I would pretty much be answering the same thing for all of the questions. And that answer would change from week to week, depending entirely on what was "new" in my speech patterns that month...

That being said, here it is:


Curses!

Favorite phrase when you have:

1. Ate food that tasted bad
This one may be the odd man out as far as answers, but that's only because if I'm talking about my disgust then I probably would say the same thing here as in the questions to follow. However, honestly, my first instinctual answer to this would be...well...Yuck.

2. Stubbed your toe

Son of a Whore. Or Curses.

3. Become frustrated

Son of a Whore. Or Curses (mainly if I'm feeling more politically correct).

4. Broken something

Son of a Whore...or curses...

5. Been cut off by another driver

Ah, here you'll probably get a Bitch (but I only call men that...like in prison), Cock, Cocksucker, or...Son of a Whore.


And that's it! Now wasn't that fun?
