Mojito Monday


I have been a bad blogger, good thing I only have three followers. I visited James and Candice last week when I went down to Victoria. James was hard at work as a mix-master and awoke my sleeping love of mixed drinks. I had forgotten how much fun it is to play bartender in your own kitchen. Pictured is my first home made mojito. I used some frozen blackberries that Krista had given me. Frozen Blackberry Mojitos are amazing.

There is going to be a change of scenery in my future. Starting September 1st I will be a Croftonite; or is it Croftonian? Krista was kind enough to hip me to a pad in Crofton that is one door down from Dan and herself. At least I know the neighbors are awesome.

Last night I went out to go see Weird Al Yankovic at the Port Theater. The show was amazing and left me with a need to re-watch UHF. That movie is pure gold. Today when I was thinking about the concert I had one reoccurring memory. It was of the first time I hung out with Dan Beadle in his basement the summer before the 8th Grade. Dan had every Weird Al cd that was available and was the first person to play me the whole album 'Alapalooza', up to then I had only heard 'Jurassic Park is Frightening in the Dark'. It was a fabulous first impression and I'm not sure what our fates would have been had it not been for Weird Al. I, for instance, might not be here today if not for a friendship forged by the musical styling of Weird Al.

This post was all over the place. I should really learn to pick one subject and stick with it. If that is the kind of thing you are looking for click on any of the links in the first paragraph. Or if you are looking for pictures of frustrated topless ladies the Amazingly Talented Katie Francis has you covered. Good night internet.








8 Questions: Katie

1. IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN CUTTING OFF YOUR EARS, LIPS OR NOSE, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?  My ears, then I could go as 'An Over-ZEALOUS Vincent Van Gogh' for Halloween. (I had the hardest time with this question)

2. WHAT IS THE MOST MAGICAL THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU? I was once brought back to life with two paddles. 

3. WHAT IS THE LAST BAD MOVIE YOU HAVE SEEN AND WISH YOU COULD HAVE YOUR TIME WASTED BACK? the SORCERERS apprentice was bad, but I wouldn't say it was bad enough to justify temporal tampering. If I had to choose a movie worthy of chronological meddling I would have to sight Indiana Jones 4.

4. BOOBS OR BUTTS? Why do I have to choose? Can't the boobie people and the butt people come together under a common love of round things.

5. WHAT COLOR ARE THE SOCKS/SHOES/FEET YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW? White with grey tips.

6. WOULD YOU FROLIC IN THE RAIN IN YOUR SKIVVIES WITH ME? Sure... Void after October. 

7. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS? Over easy.

8. WHERE IS AN AWESOME PLACE YOU HAVE BEEN TO AND WOULD LIKE TO SHOW SOMEONE HOW AMAZING IT IS? The Grand Canyon was really amazing. Grand doesn't even feel like the right word for it. The Humbling Canyon or maybe the Ginormous Canyon would probably be more accurate. 

8 Questions: Krista

1. what is your favourite dr. seuss book? The Sneetches and Other Stories. Particularly 'The Sneetches'. That was probably the first story that changed the way I thought about something.
2. where is the best place to go swimming? lake, river or ocean? River. So refreshing after a hot day at work.
3. what is the one thing, that if you didn't ever get to do, you would always regret? Save a Wookies life. Two Words: Life Debt
4. what is the most recent song you have played on repeat? Weird Al Yankovic, I Lost at jeopardy. 
5. if jim gave you 2 cents, ann gave you 7, and john gave you 5 cents would you really care how much you had all together or would you be more concerned that all your friends were cheapos? Of course I would care. I would rank them all according to their contributions. Ann is now my Best friend, John is now wavering between buddy and Chum, and Jim would be my new nemesis. 
6. are dinosaurs awesome? This reads as a retorical question to me. I am pro Jesus Horse.
7. what colour are your underwear? I have lots of underwear in a plethora of different colors. 
8. if we were to play hide and seek right now, and i was counting down from ten, where would you hide? Look behind you...

Bath Towel Roman


Bath Towel Roman, originally uploaded by m34tb0und.

I have to post this after hearing how funny Candice thought it was. I have always enjoyed walking around the house as a Bath Towel Roman. I think it's because I was a well to do Roman Citizen in a past life. Plus it's always fun to run around the house in a half nude state.

I find this photo to be very sad. This poor bear has to sit there and have small fleshy snacks throw bread at him. I wonder how often he dreams of charging the electric fence.

I have a flickr

I have finally started to update my flickr feed again. It is going to be quite the task. I have over 3000 pictures to go through. I guess that is what I get for not emptying my memory card in four months. So this is to be the first of many flicker dumps. I have also added a handy flickr bar to the side of my blog.
