What’s Worse?

The fact that Rhonda has a toilet in her backyard, or the fact that I decided to sit on it while drinking a beer?

There's also a mattress behind me!

Moblogging!

I’ve figured out how to make WordPress work from my cellphone! At this point, I have yet to really get into it- this being my first post and all, but there are a lot of possibilities here.

David Duchovny. Less Mulder. More Awesome. Possible?

With Californication it is! I just watched the entire first season. Again. When it came out in 2007 I remember watching it, but I didn’t see the entire thing, even though I had it, and I’ve recently just gotten back in to it. I cannot believe I didn’t see all of it. I’ve recently heard mixed reviews about the second season, saying that it was a bit of a let-down considering how great the first was, but that it’s still worth watching. Considering though, that I don’t even have cable, I’ll likely continue to watch it.

I’m going to watch the second season, then wait for Eastbound and Down’s second season as well as another season of 10 Things I Hate About You. I’ve never really been one for following entire seasons of televsion shows – not since Full House, anyway (!), so I’m happy that I can wait until the entire show is over and then I can download and watch them all in row. I can’t stand waiting an entire week in between episodes. Speaking of, I don’t think I ever did find out if Uncle Jesse came to the alter after Aunt Becky was standing there in her dress waiting for him, thinking she’d been stood up, unaware that he’d been skydiving and was stuck in a tree! (To be continued..! No It won’t..! You can’t download this shit!)

Ten Things I Hate About You

..is my new favourite show! It’s based on the film of the same name, which is based on the Taming of the Shrew.

Apparently the lead actor was also in a Mary Kate and Ashley movie, and he’s been a handful of other nonsense too.  It’s fantastic. Fantastic. And it’s not crappy at all! His grandfather was the lead actor in To Kill a Mockingbird, which really – I can’t specifically remember all the details about the film (or the book really), except that they were both really good.

This show is not only going to tide me over until East Bound and Down starts up again, but I have to keep my fingers crossed that it goes on for seasons and seasons and seasons. While I fully recognize that high-school students probably don’t speak and act the same way as the people on this show do, I’m so far out of school that I really can’t remember what high school is like anyway! So today when they rode off into the sunset I was rooting along “yay! Take the motorcycle! Not the stupid awesome, but not nearly as romantic-eco-friendly car that you built by yourself!”

AAANNND! I just found a new episode of Hell’s Kitchen!

Today couldn’t get any better.

Dashboard

My wordpress Dashboard has ever-so-slightly changed, and I’m getting used to it. I like the new layout. My car’s dashboard is very dusty and I need to clean it. I don’t like it when my car is dirty. It needs an oil change.

This blog is silly. This entire front page is really just a front for my photographs. I’m beginning to feel like an old man who’s running a laundromat just for the sake of having a ‘legitimate’ business while all his friends are actually shooting craps in the alley.

The Sun is Rising

I’ve spent the entire night watching the first season of Eastbound and Down. It’s pretty much the greatest show ever. Between the Sarah Silverman Show and now this, I think I have enough bad language and awkward situations. I love it. The title sequence reminds of the Dukes of Hazzard.

One of my favourite lines from the season?  “Honey I love you, I think you’re a terrific girl, but you have clothes like a fucking dickhead.”

More Party Pieces

Oh Laura, no, you are not doing it right at all.

Oh Virginia knows where it's at.

I’m Not Drunk, You’re Just an Asshole

Maybe it wasn’t Bruce Campbell, maybe it wasn’t the Polkaroo, but someone said it, and that someone was me.

Sorry buddy, but I can quote myself, and I can quote myself well. I don’t even have to remember what I said.

New Tires!

I finally went out and got new tires for my bicycle, as I’ve been meaning to do for nearly three months now. It’s great! I went for a giant bike ride, but only discovered on the way home, that I live on top of a giant hill, and that I’d apparently been coasting downhill for nearly half and hour before I decided to turn around and head back to my house.

My new tires are wider than my old ones, but the roads in Toronto really are nonsense. Even with the designated bicycle lanes, the streets are so ripped up that it makes staying in the bike lane nearly impossible most of the time, and I was constantly darting around bits and pieces of junk and pot holes. I’ll have to practice more. At one point, I wanted to make a left hand turn at an intersection that was under construction, and was a complete mess — my first instinct was to just pretend that I was a pedestrian and go on the sidewalk around all of the construction mess. Instead, there was another bicyclist who appeared to know what she was doing making the same left-hand turn across the intersection, and so I just followed her as if we were cars, and I sort of pretended like I knew what I was doing there in the middle of the intersection, meanwhile I probably looked like a bewildered squirrel. After we made our turn safely, she just smoked me at about 70 km/h down the street, and I sort of kept moseying along wondering how I didn’t die in the streetcar tracks while turning.

The ride back home didn’t kill me, but in retrospect, it’s not actually that big of an accomplishment passing a little old man who was pushing his rusty 3-speed up the hill when I’m a young kid on a street bike… At the time all I could think was ‘he’s pushing his bike! I’m in better shape than somebody!’

I need more practise. Toronto streets are crazy.

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Mum and I are pretending to be Supermodels one day last weekend and hamming it up for the camera. Happy Mother's Day! Love ya!
