...yeah, it makes me smile!

I know I haven't blogged in a very long time. I've had so many ideas for things I wanted to blog but I haven't been able to make the time to create the entries. Ok, the truth is the working world has made me its monkey and I no longer enjoy the thrills of having free time to blog. Besides, who out there is REALLY interested in my blog. Perhaps this blog is only a personal indulgence because I really don't consider myself that interesting or important to have a fan base. As for those moments in my life that I had planned to document, just like an old joke, their moments have long since passed and the punchlines have lost their humour. Therefore, I will offer you a snapshot of what has been tickling me the most lately.


First up is Body Fusion, an SNL skit that never seems to lose its ability to leave me in stitches even when I am in my most sour moods. Unfortunately, I was not skilled enough in the techno-geek arts to figure out a way to embed this clip. So you'll have to click on the link instead.

Next up is Lily Allen's album, "Alright, Still". I highly recommend you add this to your music libraries if you haven't already.

Last up is my latest stuffed animal purchase: A hamster puppet. I saw this over a year ago in a toy store inside the Calgary airport but I resisted this overpriced creature. Then, recently while sipping a Starbuck's Earl Grey Misto (a.k.a. London Fog) at a local Chapter's with a friend, there was the hamster puppet staring at me with it's beady little eyes at half the price. He now roams free in my condo and has been appropriately named, "Hamthta" (to be pronounced with your best lisp possible).

..."Powerhouse" my current favourite commercial!

Maybe it's the familiar Looney Tunes music, "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott, bringing me back to the days of Acme assembly lines. Maybe it's my silly sense of humour as I've always been known to be easily entertained. In any case, this is my current favourite commercial.

...inside the room of my soul

My cousin had some of the results of some fun mini personality quizzes on her MySpace site and I couldn't resist taking a few. Since I worked in the residential interior design business, I figured it might be interesting to see what the room of my soul looks like.

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is all about change, but in very small steps. The end of the journey looks far, but it's much closer than you realize. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

Inside the Room of Your Soul

...double, double take!

There's a Tim Horton's at 3rd Line & QEW out in Oakville. One day back in August, I went in for a medium double-double and my eyes were drawn to the name tag of the lady who served me. It read:

M-A-H-N-O-O-R

How would YOU pronounce that?

Needless to say, I had a smirk on my face as I resisted the temptation to blow up laughing. Then it crossed my mind that it would be funny if I asked her for one of those walnut crullers or a chocolate donut - anything brown!

...angelic voices, diabolical timing!

The title says it all...

...oops I did it again!

Chinglish never fails to make me laugh!



Left: Briotney Spears!
Right: Calling occupants of interplanetary craft! UFO's are not to be flushed in toilets!

...Monchiuchiu!

Monchichi? No, it's Monchiuchiu!

...what a deal!

Parking spaces in our building range from $65 - $100 and Green P Parking charges $1.50 for every half hour. So imagine the profit the Chius could make on this!


WOW! An entire parking lot for only $80.00! What a deal!

...lucky Buddah belly

Rubbing a Buddah's belly brings good luck!
