Hanging Out

Got my laundry done this weekend.

Cute Overload!

Oh my goodness! I have seen a lot of pictures of the stuff kids do with their crayons but this has to be a first!!! LMAO

Squeegy Flashback

I played with this photo quite awhile back on Facebook. I just love it. It makes my heart smile and right now I could use a good dose of that.

I remember the day I took this picture. I was in the bedroom and noticed her looking at me through the patio door. I let out a little laugh and instantly ran for the camera...thinking the whole way...she's never going to be there when I get back! Low and behold, she was. Click.

What a cutie this cat is. You have no idea. :-)

LG Dare Videos Take One

This is the first video I've taken with my cell phone.
Hard to believe I haven't played with this yet.



Black and White setting on the phone. Too many
settings to play around with tonight. Just wanted
to see how basic video's turned out on this thing.




Back inside to get a shot of Squeegy.
Not bad considering there were no lights on in the condo.
Check out Squeegy on YouTube to see the larger version.

Pretty crazy to get this kind of quality off a cell phone.

Niagara Falls

Another failed suicide attempt. No doubt there are many but going over the falls??? Nuts. If I were a bettin' gal, I would have lost big time. I've been to Niagara Falls. It's an amazing and quite awesome sight to walk up and see the amount of water pouring over. I am still shocked that people used to attempt surviving it in many home made contraptions. Of course, most of them did not survive. So how did this guy? *shrug*

It's also interesting to me that men, generally speaking go for more violent suicidal deaths. Most women down a bottle or two of various pills with a bottle or two of various wines. If a woman does for example, slit her wrists (more violent) many do it in the bathtub so there won't be a big mess to clean by others. There have been many studies on this and one thing is certain. Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

Check out the Edmonton Journal for the story.

Red Red Whine

Red food colouring. It's in a lot of things we eat right? Did you ever think about how they make things red? Bugs. Crushed bugs. The Cochineal Beetle to be exact. Rejean had to share this little tidbit with me today at work. Why? I have no idea but he does like to go for that "shock value" but it didn't phase me at all. I'm ok with eating bugs. I could do Survivor. I get more squeamish when it comes to digesting nasty chemicals myself. Check out the Snopes website for the low down and nitty gritty.

Indeed, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

The Story of Stuff

Ever wonder what to do with 20 minutes of your life? I recommend watching this very well done video on...well...stuff. With the economy the way it is right now, it makes an interesting watch. I had a few a-ha moments. It's a must to check out!!!

Bizkit The Sleepwalking Dog!!!

For those of you that may have missed this one, it's a gooder. My dog Rusty used to move and twitch quite a bit in his sleep. He'd even wake himself up from his own farts!!! LMAO Nothing as extreme as this dog though. Wonder what's chasing him??? My guess? The Tax Man. :-P

Roll Up The Rim To Win

If you're a fan of Tim Horton's at all then you already know it's that time again. What I didn't know is that you can also enter online once a day without purchasing said coffee. Might as well try and better my chances. It says 1 in 9 chance of winning on the cups but I sure haven't had any luck the last few contests. Check it out.

It's Cold

I'm getting ready for work and the Edmonton temp. is -23c. Just last week we were hovering around 0. I hate this roller coaster ride...it's much too extreme and hard on my body.

Waiting not so patiently for Spring and the warmth of the sun on my face. *sigh*

Blue Comes In Many Shades

Colourless?

Did you notice I changed things up on my blog a bit? Ya, some black n' white pics and changed the font colour. Was just playing around but I have felt a little more melancholy lately so I guess it suits my mood more. Don't worry though...it'll be the same senseless posts. :-P

Last.fm

I've known about this music site for awhile now but just tonight I installed it as an add-on in my Firefox browser. Now I can easily type in an artist name and it starts playing instantly. I typed in Kansas and it played a song of theirs and continued to play artists "like" them. What a simple and great concept. I've been happily listening to some old 70's rock since!

You don't have to install it through your web browser if you don't want. You can do the same thing from the Last.fm website. This is one of those gems that you find on the Internet and wonder how you lived without it for so long. Make sure to check it out. You will NOT be disappointed.

Sore Throat

Unfortunately I have a nasty sore throat that started yesterday. Not this cute adorable sore throat you can purchase off of the Think Geek website! Ahh, don't you just love that one can market bacteria for profit???

Now, if only my hamburger throat was soft and cuddly right now. *sigh*
