Ken Lee...da diba diba da dooooo

Confession: I am a mediocre singer. I am not tone deaf, I have really good pitch, I can read music and I can usually figure out a good harmony here and there because my years of piano and such. I can feel pretty confident singing loudly in church but I realize that I am a mediocre singer though because there's nothing particularly interesting about my voice, it's just normal, average even and I'm ok with that. I do however, enjoy rocking out in my car when I'm by myself. You've probably even seen me; I'm that weirdo chick singing loudly to herself in the car beside you at the red light, but hey, that just makes me fun. I do pride myself on knowing all the words at least. I'm going to master this new song though, it's called "Ken Lee", and although I can't place it, it's very familiar.

Bottom's up!

I get it... the Flintstones make kids want to eat their vitamins and having Dora on the band-aids eases the boo boos. But I don't get what this is about...(Yes, that really is a Sponge Bob rectal thermometer)
Would you put that in your bikini bottom?? Here's the link.

too literal??

I hate when people use the word "literally" incorrectly. Sometimes people use it for emphasis and it's just wrong (literally!). Like: "I was literally scared to death." Really? Wow, you're incredibly animated for a corpse.

It's one thing for someone to misuse it in casual conversation (which is unforgivable, figuratively, because I could actually forgive you for using it incorrectly) but it's pretty unbelievable to see it misused in a news item, but it is funny so... Check this out

My new favourite insult...

This makes me giggle...hee hee

I'm artsy-fartsy

More nonsense...

Ok, in the same vein of wackiness, watch this video. I think it's totally crazy and unexplainable. I have no idea where this is from or what it's purpose is, but I thought it was hysterical. Although I AM a little mentally unbalanced...but only a little.

A little nonsense never hurt anyone

Ok, I'm issuing a challenge...I think we can explain this, so leave your theories in the comments.

The devil's in the details

Me and God, we's-a fussin' and a feudin'...there's gonna be some karmic retribution tomorrow I bet...

Give it to me straight...

You guys, you're my friends and if you think I'm a prostitute I sure hope you'd say it to my face, it would be so humiliating to hear it from a stranger at a restaurant. That being said, leave the money on the dresser on your way out.

Did you lose something?

Don't you just hate it when you misplace something important?

Apparently the Japanese don't like Paris any more than we do...

Aww Poor Tom

New Years Resolutions

I've never really made New Years Resolutions. In fact, I kind of resent them. It pisses me off when I can't find a parking spot at the gym because of all the newbies with their NYRs. Then the classes I have been taking all year are suddenly full of NYR-ers who ask stupid questions that were answered in September - WHEN THE CLASS STARTED!! Now don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome that people decide to get in shape, that's why I'm at the gym too and I'm no one to judge. I just wish they'd all get together and decide to go at a time when it's most convenient for me. That's not too much to ask is it?

Why I'm not Depressed about Turning 30

So it's the big 29B this week. For the last few days my coworkers have been giving me a hard time about turning 30. One woman told me she spent her 30th birthday getting drunk and crying, nice... I am definitely not feeling that. I have to say that I'm feeling pretty good going into my 30s.

First of all, I've decided that I'm not getting older, I'm getting better. I feel like I know myself better now than I ever did in my twenties, and I'm a much more confident, together person than I was even a year ago.

I had a really great year this year: I trained for and ran in a mini-triathlon, had a great summer trip with friends and I got my master's degree.

And...I have a lot to be grateful for; I have a job I love, great family and friends and things are looking good for the new year. Wow! This is a really optimistic post! That's the holidays for you I guess...Merry Triciamas!

Why there's no milk in my fridge...

At midnight I decide to take advantage of the totally ridiculous fact that the "Super-mart" is open 24 hours to get a few groceries. As always I get my little basket and haul ass around the store picking up my few items. Walking around the deserted store I think to myself, "I'm a total genius! By the time I've got my few things and have gone through the self-checkout, I should be back to the car in under 10 minutes." (I'm super awesome right? Right! "Super-mart" however, is not.)

While mentally patting myself on the back I notice, to my horror, that the self-checkout is not open, in fact there is only ONE lane open. I realize that all the other super awesome people who are geniuses are waiting in a line stretching from the 1st lane to the other side of the store. I also notice that most people have their giant carts full to the brim and as I walk past the huge line with my 6 items in my basket I say to myself, "shit, shit, shit, shit". I turn to the nearest person waiting in line who then informs me that she's been waiting for "at least 25 minutes". "WTF!?!" I think to myself while wondering how this is any more convenient than waiting 25 minutes at a reasonable grocery shopping time.

I walk down the nearest aisle where I place my basket on the floor and walk away. As I walk out the door empty handed, I try not to think about how long it will take a store employee to find and put away the milk and fish I have left, on the floor, next to the dog food in aisle 4. I also try not to think about how angry I am at "Super-mart", not only for making me feel sad and pathetic for shopping at midnight on a Saturday night, but also for just being jerks in general. Thanks "Super-mart"!

It's Fate!

So, I know I haven't posted in a really long time...I'm sorry. But if there were more people than just the three of you reading this I might be more motivated...anyways!

So you know how I always rant about people at the movies? (See previous posts) Well, my sister's show is doing a segment about movie etiquette (oh how far our society has fallen when we need to point out all the ways we're rude) and I'm hosting it! HILARIOUS! I get to do dramatic re-enactments of ways that people are rude at the movies. It's like the very best thing that could ever happen!!

Oh yea...and yay Riders!

Cette annee-la!

This is so funny...it makes me giggle. Just a little something to get your weekend started!

Randoms

I don't want to write a real post so I'm just going to jot random things...

• Mika, the British singer, has a disturbingly high pitched voice. Higher than most, if not all women I know or have ever met. I'm not sure what I think about this...but I noticed it and thought I'd let you know I noticed this.
• Text messages are fun, but are for people who are too lazy to talk...and that's pretty lazy.
• I don't really think I like Swiss cheese best, that's just a rumour.
• I prefer Matt Damon when he's running around looking hot and beating up people. I don't really need to hear him speak.
• My mom asked me on Saturday, "Is that Awkward Chris?" and it made my day that she knew about Awkward Chris.
  
• I never actually told my mom about A.C. so I wonder how she knew about him. Maybe word's getting around town.
• I only have 9 more days before I have to go back to work. I have to start getting my sleeping patterns into some kind of order.
• Potato salad doesn't need ham to feel complete.
