Away Again.

Off to Florida! See you in a week.

Back to Normal

Twice I've gone downstairs expecting to see Shaughn sitting at the bottom of the stairs. For the past 2 weeks every time I go down he jumped up and followed me around the house expecting me to either feed him or take him outside. Brenda and Peter picked him up less than an hour ago to take him home. I kinda got used to having him around. He's a lot of work though. I've been waking up early to feed him and take him outside. Celia says I didn't have to wake up so early and that I'm just a worrywart about the whole thing. He was a good roommate while he was here but it will be nice to see the rug again without all the dog hair.

Wedding

Yesterday was Brenda and Peter's wedding reception. They got married on the cruise ship last week and their reception was at the UBC Golf Course. It was very nice and the food was pretty good. Celia's sister, parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and old friends were in town from all over the world. I met her dad for the first time, I danced the sprinkler with her mom, and I made gift boxes with her sister and cousin. It was a full week. Anyhoo, they're here for a couple more days, but I'm leaving tomorrow so I won't see them again for a while.

Movie Review

Mission: Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise, Keri Russel, & Maggie Q

Who the hell is Maggie Q? Does she not have a real name? I read that the Q stands for Quigley or something like that. She looks pretty hot in the movie and drives a sweet car. The rest of the movie was okay.

OSN - Oliver's Sports Network

I'm not going to make fun of Ultimate. Seriously, I won't make fun of it. I mean, really, it was a brilliant idea to combine football with a frisbee. Pardon me, it's not a frisbee, it's a "disc". What better way to enjoy a sunny day at the park than to throw your disc around with your friends? The guy (or girl - no discrimination here) that invented this game was a genius. Then, to make it sound like one of those "extreme" sports, he (or she) named the game "Ultimate". There's, like, teams and leagues and tournaments and stuff for this game. I'm not making fun of the game. In fact, I'm the last person who should be making fun of any kind of physical activity. I mean cuz I've gained a lot of weight and I'm really out of shape. Maybe playing a little Ultimate would be good for me. Help me shed a few pounds. Get me out in the sun for a bit of a tan. Help me make new friends and... okay I can't do it any more. Ultimate is so lame.

"Combining the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football, a game of Ultimate is played by two seven-player squads with a high-tech plastic disc on a field similar to football."

"high-tech plastic disc"?? Its a fucking frisbee!! Frisbees are not high-tech. They've been around for decades!

Early Riser

I've been waking up at 6am every day since Saturday so that I could take the dog out for a walk. Seriously, I've never woken up that early for more than 2 or 3 days in a row. The dog is so hyper about going out first thing in the morning I feel bad if I take him out after 7am. He's had to hold his pee all night (so did I though) and I'm sure he's gotta go real bad. And since I don't want any 'accidents' in the house, I take him out 3 or 4 or 5 times/day. Actually, I go out for my own sake as well. No, I don't go out and pee in the bushes, but I do like walking around the block with the dog. It's a bit of exercise for the dog and for me as well.

Special Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

Funny Funny Shit

The Dog

While Celia is away, I'm dog-sitting Shaughn. He's the dog I talked about last year that had a pretty bad seizure. He still doesn't walk too straight and he's kinda clumsy around the house but he's still a good dog. I'll have him at home for the next week. I hope he's good. :)

Inspiration

This past week has been Nurse's Week. So the next time you see a nurse, give him hug and tell him he's your inspiration.

Lost

No, not the TV show. People keep talking about it - about how great it is and how addicting it is. I've never watched it but it looks interesting. Maybe someday I'll download it (in a completely legal manner wtih all copyright laws intact). Anyhoo, I'm talking about lost socks. I was reading a blog about things that go missing and it made me think about my socks. When I lived at home I just figured I had dropped a sock somewhere and someone else picked it up. When I moved out I would do my laundry and one fucking sock was still missing! I guess you just have make a sacrifice to the laundry gods and give up the sock.

Another Movie Review

Aeon Flux with Charlize Theron

Lame.

American Idol

Eliot has to go, Katharine is hot, Paris is annoying, Taylor has heart, and Chris is gonna win.

Movie Reviews

Crash with Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, and Ryan Phillipe

No wonder this move won. It was fucking great. Someday I'll give my 2 cents about racism. I just don't feel like talking all deep right now.

Mission: Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise and Felicity

For Tom's sake, this movie better kick ass.
