A lot has gone on in the past few months, I have up and moved to Halifax, NS and am starting my Masters (yikes) here at Dal

Also trying some new things with the lay out

Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming....

What's with the Weather

Ok so March for sure came in like a lion, and is it ever going out like a lamb. It's super nice out

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

When marimba start to play
Hold me close, makes me sway
Like an ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

March is going to be one long month,

I can tell already

My new favorite show

The Good Ole Days

Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday's, and a Safe New Year

This and that among other things

Yes, I quite liked the ring of that title. Well big news in little old Florenceville, that's right we can be finally put on the map, no nothing to do with McCains, much bigger if you asked some people. Yes the rumors have been true, we have a Tim Horton's

Guinness went in for her big operation, she is still in her kennel, very dopey and looking very sad. My poor puppy, however it was for the greater good I don't want to deal with all the male dogs in the neighbourhood

Took a few days off work this week, just felt like it. Have a new office that I share with the new research assitant who went to McGill as well and actually was on the woman's rugby team which plays at Mac, so there are my 2 degrees of separation.

Ah well

Another day, another dollar

So Gross

So today I saw one of the grossest things, in a Tim Horton's of all places. There I was trying to have my breakfast in peace, and there across from me, what the largest man, with a HUDGE scab on his elbow, it was the size of my bagel, all yellow and crusty and bleading, I mean come on get a bandage to cover it, people are trying to EAT.


Grossest thing you've ever seen while eating?

Hmm well I got this from Gimpy,

(1) when i was little i used to eat butter out of the butter packets at Swiss Challet, I have since stoped, as I don't eat that much butter

(2) I love to vaccum

(3) I have to have socks on when i go to bed at night, even if i kick them off when I am asleep

(4) I am terrifed that I will lose my teeth

(5) I talk to myself in French


hmm not sure how weird these are, and really there aren't that many people who read this other than gangly and gimpy who are both doing this, so if you see this and have a blog and want to do it, go for it, I got this from Gimpy who like me enjoys icing

*Sigh*

Going Away

So tomorrow I am leaving on my first ever big drive into the city of HRM aka Halifax Regional Municipality aka I am going to Dartmouth to stay with my Aunt while i go into Halifax. Nothing against Dartmouth, but it's just weird to be staying there.

What really bothers me, is that everyone seems to think that I am going to get lost on my way there, gerrr am I not one of the most anal people around when it comes to planing things?

Funniest Movie this Year

Went and saw the 40 year Old Virgin last night with the gals, talk about laugh my ass off, I was laughing so hard I was crying (which I normally do) it was raunchy as hell, but if that's your sort of thing, you'll enjoy it


I have found a new shampoo that I am in love with. Aussie Mega Shampoo. Not only does it smell great, my hair has never felt this soft, and the bonus it's not that $$

Feel

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

Scare myself to dead
That's why I keep on running
Before I arrive
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I can not get enough

I just wanna feel
Real love fill the home that I live in
I got too much life
Running thru my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel
Real love and the love ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This rope I've been given
Not sure I understand (x3)

-Robbie Williams

You're Beautiful

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Flashbacks

Talk about major flash backs. I was in the dollar store the other night, when I saw the candy isle. Bottlecaps were the first thing that I saw and I got them. Total impulse purchase. They have changed the packaging from when I was a kid, they used to be in a bag, but now they come in a roll similar to sweet tarts. I had the weirdest sensation when I opened them. The smell a lone and the memories of being 5 on a hot sunny day in Halifax going to the park and stopping in at Roger's to spend that 0.25 cents that you got for the week if you were lucky. Talk about movie playing in my head. And then I ate one, total out of body experience was transported back in time, funny how smells and tastes can do that to a person. After 17 years the taste of bottle caps hasn't changed a bit.So if anyone has Bottlecaps, and they don't like the Rootbeer ones, I'll eat them!

What sort of candies do you remember when you were little?

The calm before the storm

Well I know that I have been that current with my postings and I do apologize. Right now I just feel like jumping on top of my little unsturdy table that I work on here, and yell at the top of my lungs and see if anyone notices me. With all these people telling me how busy they are and they don't have time, you'd think they could find a task for me to do. This whole month has basically been too quite. I have far too much free time. You'd think that would be a good thing, but I just know that there is something coming, what it is I don't know.

I am thinking of making the trip to Montreal the weekend after the long weekend. That would be nice, fun to see everyone, go out for good food, do a little shopping. Then in the winter time I am looking at going to London, England for a tour. Just a nice vaca to get away.

Things at home are crazy as ever. Guinness is a joy and blessing, who would have thought that a dog could bring so much love into ones life. I always thought those "dog people" were nuts. Well let me be the first to admit I was wrong! She is the cutest thing, and it's hard to stay angry at her when she looks at you and tilts her head. You just want to pick her up and give her a hug.

More later, just had a sudden burst of I need to type something. I am sure there will be more to follow

First Day of School

Well my baby brother starts his last first day of highschool tomorrow. I can't beleive that he is in Grade 12 already!!!!

Updated Links

Hi there ye who peruse my little site that I am sorry that I haven't really updated in awhile, I find that you get out of the swing of things and feel like you don't have much to input.

I have updated my links, you will see that I have another little site thingie for you my friends, it is easier for me to put my pictures up that way since I have changed computers yadda yadda yadda, there are reasons, so just enjoy them.

As all of us have heard now about the bombings in London, I would like to recomend the BBC website for news updates. It's a great site for news in general, so check it out. It is such a terrible thing, and I am lost for words

Happy July 1st and 4th

To everyone out there Happy 4th of July and Happy Canada day!!

T-minus 18 days

Funny link

hehehe the poor things, but you have to admit it is amusing

It's been awhile

Well I realize it has been awhile since I've posted anything, but there really hasn't been that much going on here in NB. Well that isn't true lots has happened however, nothing really interesting, it's been sorta one of those things that you can't imagine where the time went.

We had a squirrel the size of a cat in our house, it jumped over my shoulder and scared the shit out of me, that I jumped on my chair and screamed.

My mother was gone for the week, which made me realize even more how much she has to do.

And my brother's friend crashed her rather large truck into our house, didn't dent the truck, but sure did some damage to the house. Will post pictures of the house and squirrels later.

Ok well DH is on, Eddie is too funny.

Look it's snowing in my back yard a normal thing in winter, however this picture was taken on April 29, 2005. Talk about crazy snow flakes those things were hudge!

April Already

How the time has flown, it is April already. I saw a robin today on my front lawn, which is always good to see after a long winter. The ice in the river has pretty much broken up with minimum flooding, which is good. I will try and post some pictures later so you can see the large chunks of ice.

Had a quite weekend, worked a bit on the basement. I have a closet now! Which is amazing, slowly moving my stuff in and their stuff out.


Ok well I thought that I had more to write here today but it's just not flowing

Happy Easter and Spring

I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything, I just haven't felt there was really anything relavent to post here. I shall try and do a bit more and keep you all up dated.

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter and Spring! What a wonderful day this is, the sun is out here, and I can tell that the gloom of winter has been lifted and the green of summer is almost upon us!

A very happy New year to you all filled with lots of happiness

Exciting News

That's right folks hear ye hear ye I have exciting news to tell, today at work I got my own lab coats with my name on them!! I can't tell you how exciting this is....VERY

Wednesday

How can it only be Wednesday I have done so much today

But I can't tell you its Top Secret

Monday

Enough said I think

Snow Day

Yea got sent home from work early due to snow

took me 20min to clean my car off, and I was going about 50 the whole trip home, took it slow the roads were so bad, almost wish i didn't go in this am but what can you do

ahh I think i might take a nap

cherioo

Cleaning my Appt and over 1000 visits

YEahhh look at that, over 1000 visits and I have moved into my appt, even more so I am cleaning the bathroom which was sorely forgotten and just never used, its not too bad just a lot of dirt as it used to be our mud room

Made it through Week 1

That is right I have made it through my first week and boy was I exhausted. It will take some time getting used to being on my feet all day. That is right this is no desk job (which I am thankful for) I would go crazy if I had to sit all day.

I fianlly watched O Brother Where Art Thou, what a great movie I know I am behind a bit on certain films, but if you haven't seen it yet I highly recomend it. Also the soundtrack is amazing, especially the song O' Death, shivers down my spine when I first heard it.

Right my mom is out of the house for the Day a bit of a breathing space much needed cleaning will get done.

The work never ends, and it is freezing in this house, dam electric heating bill

2005 and goings on

I would first like to wish everyone a very Happy and Hopeful 2005, I have been thinking a lot lately (not too sure if that is a good thing ;) ) and yes I think it has somthing to do with me finishing school and soon to start work. The tsunami in Asia has also left me thinking, especially about how can I possubly help. While one can donate money to the relief I am still left feeling that there must be somthing more that I could do, I know if I was just to hop on a plane and go over there and show up and say ok what can I do I would be a complet fish out of water. Yet still I hate this feeling of helplessness, and even more so I know how lucky I am to live in this wonderful country and have a supportive family and well a nice life for lack of better terms, and I feel guilty when I complain about things that happen to me now, especially lately.

I can't tell you how disapointed I was in my govt when I saw that the US was only giving 30 million especially after Japan a tiny island country itself who knows the dangers of tsunami (a Japanese word) raised its original funding from 30 million US to 500 million US$. While I am glad to see that the US has raised it's original support from the 30 mil to 350 million $, none the lease still disapointed.

I am going to add a list of possible sites if you're interested in checking out and if you have any sujjestions please feel free to leave it in the comments sections:

Canadian Red Cross
Medecins Sans Frontieres
UNICEF Canada

While I know it isn't much I feel that it is the least that I can do for now, I wish you all a safe and happy New Year and good luck to you all who are going back to school or looking for a job or whatever you might be doing

The rather disapointing gingerbread house event

So it was the big gingerbread event today, rather a let down so we just dipped the crackers in the tub of icing and diped that in the sprinkles fun times soon followed as the sugar hit, big time, note to self icing can make great lipstick, just watch out for friends that share the weather and not the news! hehe

Last Day of Class......FOREVER

I can't beleive that today has arrived, my last day of class for my undergrad. That's it there is no more, all that is left. Wow, it's snowing out and is that really crisp cold out where you can feel your cheeks get red as soon as you start walking. I had to walk up the hill today to pick somthing up, must becareful, almost fell on my way back down. That packed down snow can be very scary.

First Snow

Today was the First snow followed by rain followed by snow

Got home to find Fridge wasn't work, lucky me nothing was lost

not a very good mood at all

Cheers

:)

Three More Days, and the Stress Continues

That's right, only 3 more days of university classes left for me. I can't say that I'm scared shitless about this fact. Where have the past four years gone, some how I feel cheated of the whole uni life. While I do beleive that life is what you make of it, there still has to be some input or certain elements arround you that you can manipulate. And thus leaves one feeling like they want some of there money back.

On other notes, the return of the dreaded cousins, just call me Cyclops, it's a freakin' third eye!

Went to the Xmas parade with Gimpy, Gangly, and P. It was a lot of fun, highlights inclue Gimpy hugging a gigantic Tim's mug, mmmm how great would that be, to have some Tim's double double first thing waiting for you in the morning to hug. I can only wish. Other highlights include the free candy canes yummm, and well just seeing all the people out and about watching and waiting for Santa. It was rather cold I must say. Yet there still isn't any snow, which is fine by me, it is allowed to snow here in Montreal after the 18th and I have arrived safe and sound at home, and not caught in Quebec City in a snow storm at the Normandine Resturant in Levis. Its not fun, been there done that. I don't think I've ever prayed so hard in that car ride home. People if I have once piece of advice it is the following, Crap weather outside, it's not worth the drive, stay safe and sound and warm at home. Let it Pass.

And on that note I am going to try and get to bed at a reasonable hour! Yeaa ok ok I know 1 30 is a bit late, but it's better than my 3am-er's of late.

G'nite

Wobbly Bits

Oh what a fun day Lil S and I had today! Dispite the rain and the killer walk, done in under 26 minutes from McGill to the bank/Dollar Store then to the Fourm to see Bridget. Oh it was really good, funny and had a happy ending, just what was needed. Then walked back through the seedy part of Ste Cats to the Eaton Center and went to Old Navy got a killer deal on a jacket for the spring and 4 tank tops for all under 25$!! Then went to the Second Cup, got the Candy Cane Hot chocolate and Gimpster got the Candy Cane Late, if you are going to get it one piece of advice, stir it. Finally making it up McGill College soaking wet and a bit cold (looking very bridget) got on the shuttle bus and came back!
Good times Good Times
Oh and we made the most of our 10$ spent on using nice clean bathrooms so very nice

The Power of a Great Advertisment, or Just somthing weird about me

Do you? Just a thought for the night, how many people out there really do eat the red ones last? I know that I do, I have to line them up like show and then I eat which ever has the most of a certain color until i have all equal amounts of the colors (except red). It also is interesting to note why we eat the red ones last, all because of advertisement. Truth be told I prefer M&Ms.

Maximum Stress

That's it I've reached my limit for the year, I just hate spelling, I absolutly hate it, this is when you go what were you thinking Mida?? Well I obviously wasn't!! Had a nice visit with Gangly went out to Dunndees with the Gimpster and Gangly, learned a little chinois for real?.......or not hahaha, the poor waitress, I must say we weren't on our best behaviour, but we had fun, none the less ;)

Went to the Ceilidh on Thursday for ladies night, who am I kidding I went for the 2 free drinks. Gah only could get a girly drink or ex/dry.

Talked with the parental units tonight, must remember not to talk about the future too much with them, it just looks bleak-er.

Talked with my godson tonight too cute, his sister told him, "Say Hi, (Insert my godson's name)" and he says in the phone "HI (insert my godson's)" hehehe but then he tried again and got it right, "HI MIDA" hehe too cute. He's only 2. And of course one of the cutest kids I know (mind you I am partial)

Ok that is a quick little update. Also want to wish the blog a Happy Birthday, about a year ago I started this.

Oh so much fun

Evil LHHC

They are evil, pure evil, they tempt us with ice cream and candy, mind you there was TONS of candy, but A scoop of ice cream (but very good quality, no ice crystals) but *groan* I ate too much again, I think the gimpster can back me up on this one, evil, pure evil, mind you as we have both been discussing, the Icing fest of 2003 much much worse. I'm going to try and roll into bed

What a handful of cereal can do for the soul

Ohhhh doesn't that sound deep eh? What I mean by it, is that the Gimpster aka Butch stoped by last night with such a treat Finding Nemo Cereal. Which was very exciting, for not only were there sugar coated stars of somthing healthy I'm going to guess oats and marshmellows shaped like your favorite characters, which led us to recall our favorite moments of the movie, however we were a bit rusty as Butch mentions in her blog, from such great lines as "You made me Ink" and "Oh and one more thing: when you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it" and "Maybe he only speaks "whale" which led us to re enacting certain parts of the movie with the marshmellows hehehe ahhh good times. "I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my squishy Come on, squishy Come on, little squishy" and remember this above all "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim." For more quotes you can check this out, think of it as a refresher. Ahhh such a good movie, don't ya think?

Might I draw Your Attention

To this most important cause, please support the children with the FXS they need our help. Thank you to Gangly for bringing this to our attention

Happy Halloween

A very Happy Halloween to all ye out there reading this

Happy Weekend

Well, happy weekend my "5" readers :p Franchment eh. ahh Well, was supposed to go out for Brunch downtown today, but it got canceled. So I went into Ste Anne's for breakfast at au Bout d'ille. I love the omellets there, they are HUDGE, got the western one, with ham, onions, green peppers and tomatos along with toast, fevres au lard, fruit and hash browns. And all with coffee to wash it down, was very pleasent i was able to read my book, Anna Karenina, of which I love saying the title, it just rolls off of your tounge. Then after that I went to TWIGS as a smoker started poullting the air, and I had more coffee on the comphy couch and saw all these kids in their coustumes, too cute. There was a little fair going on in town, they had a petting Zoo with Lamas and goats and weird looking geese, but they also had this Adpot a pet thing, with all these cute dogs, cats, kittens and puppys. I almost took one home with me, a basset hound puppy, sooo cute, and his eyes, how could you not love him?? I will just have to do with Babar for now, :) until I can get a real pet.

Ok work for the rest of the weekend, somtimes it has to be good to have a change a plans. At least I hope so

86 YEARS OF WAITING

WHAT CURSE I ASK YOU. HA HA HA last laugh is on you BABE. OH i knew it, I knew this was THE YEAR.
Halloween party tonight, going as a Hula gal, but i might have said that already ok
thats all for now

Keeping the Faith

This is the year my friends, those what 4 of you that read this? This is the year I can feel it, Tonight the Soxs won game 3 4-1, and I still can't sleep so it's time for an update.
Midterm time of year as always taking up most of my spare time, but this Thursday night in the CC ballroom, oui oui c'est la grande fete pour l"halloween, et volia c'est tout pour mon horrible francais ce soir. Its the be there or be squre (root) sorta thing. This year and my final year, I will be going as a Hula girl ( grass skirt is really cool) with Alli. Other than that nothing else is new, S has gone back home to bring home the Eggs and Bacon har de har har, ohhh all of the possible egg jokes, and lil S has gone home for the weekend, and I was here left with my books of language and the Red Soxs.
Only 2 more mid terms left, can I get an amen from the congregation?

Fragile

It must be italian, haha ha yes just call me Fragile.
Where did October go??

Update

Let me see, not too much to write made it through the weekend some how and I'm still standing, got my grad proofs back they look great, and just trying to take it one day at a time, that's all I can do. As my grandfather always used to say when the world gives you lemons make lemonaide, its just a bit hard to do

My Hair Hurts

Earplugs

In all honesty I don't know how I made it through 3 years in Larid with out them, they are great! I think that everyone moving into a res in Uni should be given a new pair every year, think of all the noises you could block out. Also I am very much enjoying the new windows that were installed this summer, I can only slightly hear the drunken "yeeeee haws" of the drunkards at the Ceilidh.
Aside from that just when you thought you had the ball of string all wraped up and ready to go, it starts to become undone, undone an interesting word.
Another thing parents, yea sure they raise you and support you and do all that stuff like feed and shelter you, but there must be some part in them that just loves to torment you, make you suffer to the point where even if you were on the other side of the world it would be just as bad as if you were right next to them. I mean who on the night before a midterm wants to have the whole can of worms that is the numero uno problemo in their life opened up again, I mean it took a long time to even close it some what the first time, but the WHAM here we go again. Thanks, thanks a whole lot.

In other matters went to Octoberfest today with Lil S mmmmm Saureakreaut and all the yummy bacteria that help ferment it......mmmmm and all it is, is shredded cabbage and salt, thats it, I find it so amazing at how our world works...especially food wise.
Ok going to try and get some sleep, tomorrows Friday TGIF baby

Pizza

mmmm nothing quite like it ya know what I mean, how great was it, that walked into Ste Annes to get S a phone to find the store was closed, looked at Marco's 2 for 1 (still a bit tpp $$ for me) and then went to the Marche bc I mean we were in town, only to find that McCain pizzas were on sale for onlt 3.99!! mmmm soo yummy

Special Good Luck to Lil' S today

Downtown

The lights are must brighter there, you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go dooooowntown, Downtown, sing with me now, hehe I am in the computer lab downtown, and how funny would it be for me to break out in to song, and the whole lab was to join in. People jumping up on the tables dancing, hehehe

Man is it ever hot in here, they need to think of some ventilation, also there should be a ban on certain perfumes, I don't care how expensive they were, they STINK

Was food for thought last night, really interesting err then again, we got there too late for any snacks, but S Lil S and I all got a juicebox, which was a mix, but had that great fake grape juice taste from when you were a kid.

We will just have to go earlier next time

Ok enough said, back to real work, I am actually going to go to my class today, ahh yea

My poor baby brother, lol he had a tractor run over his leg while picking on the field (potato field) he seems to be in good spirts having just found out he has torn a ligament and will have to go to Fred for treatment, must be the pain killers, get well soon Skyguy

Whets the Point

Here I am, in the Library, all set to study and get caught up, this weekend was going to be all about getting caught up. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Saturday complete write off, was so exhausted, having problems sleeping (greaaat). Then I was going to go to the library at 2 and just work through, but I had a call from home there was an hour and some gone. So here I am around 5, I can't focus, and the reading just doesn't go in, and so here I now sit updating this blog, I am thinking of getting a little cam, might be fun or not, a miracle happened, will not have to stay in this city too long in Dec, yeaaaaaa
Ok must force myself to work,

The Force be with you

Tired, Crap Week, but mmm mmm BBQ chicken

The title pretty much sums the week up, and then i find out my baby bro;s let was run over by a tractor, luckily nothing is broken, major brusing and he is on crutches, it just got worse and worse as the week went one, but mmm mmm mmm I got a BBQ chicken today how yummy is that

Flo makes the News Again

Yup we are in the news yet again, honestly they should get ride of the break, we are the only school in the WHOLE province that still does it, and we aren't the only region that grows potatos, you don't see them doing it in PEI, I mean come on, and most kids dont work, how manu kindergarden kids can you see getting up at 5 to go pick for 7 and be home arround 6?! I mean gerrr piss me off,
ok that said, back to the books

How Time Flies

Just another amazing thing that just makes me thing, where has the time flown, listening to the radio and Born Slippery - Underworld came on, can you beleive that it was 8 years ago! I loved Trainspotting, I can remember renting it in High School with my friend Katie, it looked werid but we thought we would see what it was like, and I think that was the turing point for me loving strange movies. But still EIGHT years ago, yikes.

Last night, got back into the study groove, oh more so warmed up my butt groove in the library and computer lab. Thats right worked a whole 5 hours, yes yes, pat on the back, now I am only about 1/2 behind every thing!

Yesterday was No Car day or somthing like that, so a section of St Cats was tied off, and there was basically a big street party going on, street performers, people walking arround it was great, got some free stuff, very nice indeed.

time to get the day started

Exciting Chocolate News

mmm chocolate, how exciting is this, there is nothing worse than the fat bloom, I mean ok the chocolate can still be consumed, but it doesn't look that great, this could be a big help.

Ohh I want one of these

I could go for one of these, we used to leave Moosehead for Santa cuz a Moose was close enough to a reindeer, and it figures that most of it turns up near Woodstock, *shakes head* and a month after this was stolen, I recall hearing that a trailer of detained beef was stolen from Centreville ahh life in the sticks with the hicks lol

How exciting

Yup, here I am, wanted to get up early this morning, to get some much needed studying in, so I could go to church, however as is always my good luck, last night ohh arround 1:30, (mind you I went to bed at 11 30) a whole gaggle of, I think drunk, French guys come running arround my floor, running up and down the stairs.

Oh you gotta love those drunken antics some people have *sigh* lol

Anyway enough of my complaining, yea yea I know I live in rez, it could be worse, so I got up a bit late today arround 8, and since it takes about an hour for me to wake up proper, am now just functioning, getting my spelling down (Hephaestus, pretty good), and I am listening to the radio online, when the new Robbie Williams song came on, its called Radio, I actually really like it, very different from the rest of his stuff, there is most def, an 80's influence, you can check it out here if you want, go to the Music section, and then its on the Greatest Hits album, which is coming out October 18th (hopefully here too....hope my brothers are reading this...mmm great Xmas present there boys ;) )

Ok well that is all for now
Over and out

How Bizare

Just killing time in between classes, when i read this the poor family

And they're off...

Yup, its about to occur, you couldn't really avoid it, they are there lurking in the back of your mind, as is the thought, I should be studying just a bit more, that's right mid terms. I just can't beleive that I am having my first on this Monday.

Moving on today was the Food Science BBQ, was very good, stayed for about 2 hours talking, a first.

I have come up with a new game to play while downtown (and really in any city) you must be in a large grassy area (paved it ok, if its all there is) and you require 2 goals, 2 teams, the rules from soccer, but not a soccer ball, but PIGEONS, that's right how much fun would it be kicking those dam pests arround! How did I come up with this? Well while I was sitting on the lawn at school on the main campus of McGill I should say, minding my own business, I reach down to pick up my cup of tea, and there is a bloody Pigeon right next to me, I just wanted to kick it out of the way and volia a new game.

And for all of you animal lovers out there, come on there are millions of them in the city, ok ok how about you can't have spikes on your cleats?

Tired, Hungry, and really whats the point?

Seriously, is there a point, I think it's time, I really sit back and look at where things are headed, I don't think I really like it, I feel like I am behind the wheel but the breaks are going, and I am out of control.

Back to School

Well then, it's that time of year again, that's right back to school, for many people, or for those of us "fortunate" McGill students we have been back since the first.
I have mostly classes downtown this year, which will be interesting, I think I am going to like it, mind you I have to make the comute everyday, thankfully just for one semester, and then I have my research project, don't know what it is yet.Only time will tell.
Back in the same room in LH so those of you who want to stop by for a visit, the kettle is always on (my don't i sound very maritime -er -ie, wait I am)

As for the big C here on Thursday night, well it was DEAD, we were thinking that it being the first it would be packed, went with A and we ended up watching telly, I think it was the family guy and then classic spiderman, I mean who doesn't like spiderman??

Moving on, for my faithful readers I shall try and be better with my updates, it just seemed hard to do this summer, just couldn't be bothered!

ta for now

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy 22nd Birthday dear Midaaaaaaa
Happy Birthday toooooooo meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and many moooooooooore

Kill Bill Volume 1

Ok so I just saw this movie, finally I might add, but now I just found out that there wont be a long wait for the second half of the movie, as it will be out on Tuesday!
I enjoyed the movie, but at some point, oh I dont know when all the limbs are flying arround you have to ask yourself, what is going on in QT's head? He is all over the place, and having just watched the 7th samuri, it was well interesting, especially the musical selection.

Other than that nothing else is new....nothing to update or report, saw the Village, and will not go into the woods alone but I am very proud of myself, and with out giving anything away, caught on way before we find out anything, if you are freakish like me you can pick out what I mean in like the first 10 min of the movie and that is all I am saying

Anyone else seen a good summer movie? This summer there just dont seem to be as many, well at least here in the sticks of NB

Site Meter and Cry, more so not crying

Ok so this site meter is starting to bother me, just becuase I am nosey and I want to know who is looking at my site, lol I figure it's mostly me checking to see what number the dam thing is at only to have it go up another 2.
 
Went to see the Notebook tonight in Woodstock. It was filled, with lots of white haired old ladies and twenty somthings and there in between, there were only 5 men, yes we counted, to pass the time, and I had been told, bring klenex, and me Miss Crying Queen for everything, didn't shed a tear, I didn't even get misty eyed. I knew I should be goodness everyone arround me was, and I really liked the movie, Ryan Gossling was great, a different role from Sean and Breaker High and the Young Hurc on Fox, but still, to which when I told someone that I didn't cry, that oh well you must just be dead inside like Chandler from friends.
 
Which made me think, why is it that we all have to cry or laugh or what ever at a movie, I mean there are soo many out there, so many different types, it isn't wrong to like different ones, I mean how boring would that be?
 

New Look, Fresh Start?

Thought that the ole blue and white scale backround needed an update, and since there isn't much I can do to change things around here, might as well change things here, bare with me this is still a work in progress, next step is getting pictures up....might take a bit of time

Readings

I have just had a thought to add a little section here of current books that I am reading or have read.
I just finished Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
by Gregory Maguire. I really enjoyed it as I have his other books, you get to look at the other side of the story of some of the most belved books out there.

I am also about to read Ana Karenina by Leo Tolstoy we will see how that goes. I don;t get too much time to read over the summer due to work and "family" things that I have to go to, but I shall keep this updated as much as possible

Coffee and Me

I have a new friend and I don't want to think of what life would be with out it. My cupa Java, try as I may to ignore it last year at school, it has snuck back into my life, now that my brother and I have our cup in the am, but he is now away at camp so it's just me. Mmm dark roast, flavor enhanced, any kind that's a good kind, can't stand instant or that crap at work they call Coffee.
mmmmmm

Wicked - "Defying Gravity" music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

ELPHABA
I know
But I don't want it - No!
I can't want it anymore

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by
The rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap...

It's time to try Defying Gravity
I think I'll try Defying Gravity
And you can't pull me down

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur?

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've Iost
Well if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm Defying Gravity
And you can't pull me down!

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do - together!

Unlimited
Together we're Unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been - Glinda!
Dreams the way we pl d 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem

GLINDA & ELPHABA
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I, Defying Gravity
With you and I Defying Gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!

Well, are you coming?

(GLINDA decides to stay behind.)

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
I hope your happy now that your choosing this -

ELPHABA
You too--
I hope it brings you bliss

GLINDA & ELPHABA
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy my friend

ELPHABA
So if you care to find me
Look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me!

Tell them how I am Defying Gravity
I'm flying high, Defying Gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring Me Down!!

GLINDA
I hope you're happy

CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her
She's Wicked
Get her!!

ELPHABA
Bring me down!

CITIZENS OF OZ
No One Mourns The Wicked
So we got to bring her -

ELPHABA
AHHHH!

CITIZENS OF OZ
--DOWN!

Wonder Why?

No not the TV show
But do you ever wonder why, I mean the type of wondering where you are just left there standing, throw your arms up, questioning, Why?

Do you ever wish you could just get up and leave everything behind you? Not have to worry about one thing or another? Just go where ever the wind takes you, carefree from the whys.

Do you ever wish you could go back and see if knowing what you now know would change the situation? Or would it all just play out the same and not like Groundhog's Day. Would you want it to change, for if there was this change then other moments would change or just not happen.

Do you ever get that feeling in the pit of your stomach that you just want to ball up and throw away? And no matter how you try it just doesn't go away.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to fly, and no not in a plane. Or that feeling of weightlessness rarely experienced?

Why wonder, when nothing ever happens?

Euro 2004

Great news today the Netherlands have made it through to the next round beating Sweden. What a great game. I have become a workaholic this past week and not really by choice. Science takes time and takes time from your non existent life. I might as well just have a cot at work to sleep there.

About sleeping how great would it be to have a siesta? I really think they are on to somthing there.

Today was the big McCain Family bbq, felt old and odd seeing people I went to HS with there with their spouse and their 2 kids,

Other than that nothing is going on here, I really wish I could go somewhere warm and sunny for a vacation just a week at least that has tons of historic neat things and such just to absorb it all and none of this strange wether that we have been having here in NB

One good thing about not being outside is that I get to avoid all the black flies and such

June 28

GO out and Vote people that's all I can say

Stupid ATV/CTV

So there I was, sitting with my blueberry orange smoothie in one hand, a vorrtmann no Trans cookie in the other, egerly waiting for the Alais season finale, when what do I see but another stupid American Idol program about the show itself, enough of the spin off things, Fox has enough to show, now I have to wait till 10 to watch it, gerrr arggg

My Life at Home

I baisically get up early, get ready for work, go to work come home around 5 eat dinner watch the news go for a walk and then some more tv and then bed, the whole thing repeats itself. And when I do get home, I;m just so dang gosh tired.
Went to Halifax for my final checkup and it went great, i dont have to go back, and my jaw looks fantastic, very pleased with this
ok think i might go to sleep on the key board have to get up and do somthing

Home Sweet Home

The land of the flip flop free shower, the ease of doing your laundry and not having to find a $5.00 bill, because the machine doesn't accept coins, mom's cooking, the dishwasher, my bed, my room, my stuff....ahhh bliss
Also have been at work now for 3 days, amazing thing a potato,
And I got to drive today, it was wonderful, now if it would only warm up and the sun would come out that's all I ask for, that and great weekends
more detail and interesting stuff
hope all are well, did fine on exams and are enjoying the break
