Hottest movie in the country right now is obviously’ Marley and Me’ which by all accounts does a pretty good job of following the plot of the best selling book of the same title (quite a feat when you consider the main character is a Lab)
So for you Dog Lovers everywhere(many of whom are 94/7 listeners including myself).. here’s a trailer I found with the lovable Marley running along the beach ‘Chariots of Fire’ style..CLASSIC
I mean, clearly, I’m alive. The worst, they say, is over. Tell that to my car, which couldn’t get out of our driveway today because the City of Vancouver is so overwhelmed that they haven’t been able to plow our little neighborhood. The kids have had it with indoors and snow…they want to go to the movies, to the mall, to essentially anywhere that isn’t the living room. Tomorrow, I hope to get us all out, thus preserving our collective sanity.
Things I have learned in the week I’ve been nearly a total shut-in:
1. You can only watch so much daytime television before deciding that society is in a total failure spiral.
2. My boyfriend makes the world’s greatest turkey sausage hash.
3. Cats like to watch snow fall.
4. Just because boots are waterproof, that doesn’t automatically make them warm.
5. It is possible to laugh so hard, you become afraid of simultaneously vomiting and dying.
6. A week without your kids is nearly as hard to get through as a week with them.
I think the weather gods are getting back at me for mocking the earlier ’snowstorms’ we had last week. What a whopper. I haven’t seen snow like this since my years in New Jersey.
So, I can’t get out of my driveway, let alone my neighborhood. I would love to be on the air today but sometimes you just can’t mess with Mother Nature.
Speaking of that grand ol lady, here’s what she did to our house and neighborhood:
It felt great to walk in the snow…for about 10 minutes. Now I’m warm and safe inside with plenty of DVDs and good food. If you have to be snowed in, I think I’m doing it right.
AMAZING, it’s the only way I can describe the show. Thanks to all the people who made it with all the weather we are having. If you work for DHL and made the show could you of atleast delivered my package to me since you can’t during work hours, the weather is to harsh. BUT, The Airborne Toxic Event put on an amazing show, maybe the best I’ve seen all year. For a band who’s album came out just a few months ago and being a new band they rocked the shit out of the Crystal Ballroom. They said they are coming back in February at the Doug Fir so stay tuned for more information. ahh, Carolina Liar, of course another great show by a band that know’s how to do it. I am sorry that Chad the lead singer’s voice packed up and flew home for the winter. But he toughed it out and continued to rock his way through the show. I would see them anytime they come through town. Super nice guy’s and love what they are doing.
Thanks to “Believe”, so many ’singers’ are relying on Autotune to make their records sound “cool”. I don’t think too much of people who take the easy way out…if you can’t sing, don’t use technology to try to make it sound like you can.
This video totally slams every single “artist” who depends on the Autotune….the lyrics are spot-on and totally hilarious!
In case you didn’t get this virally, try your hand at one of the hottest ‘games’ on the internet right now. Called ’sock and awe’, score points by throwing shoes at Mr Bush. Sort of reminds me of a game we sent out to our DataBase many years ago called ‘Whack-a- Mullet’ where you had to nail a mullet styled moron on the head with a mallet while avoiding hitting Gustav and Daria at the same time!!!
A girl can always dream, right? So if the economy was rockin hardcore and price was no object, here are a few things I would love to find parked by the menorah this year:
A pretty, sparkly ring:
I don’t want to get married or anything, but since I was born in April, it’s my birthright to wear diamonds.
Christian Louboutin boots (hey, they’re only $1,445!)
An all-expenses paid trip to a resort in Bora Bora:
A Toyota Prius, ’cause I care about the environment and I love saving money on gas:
Oh yeah, I also want peace on Earth, goodwill towards humankind, another year of love and happiness for my family and friends, and to keep rocking this job. Maybe I can at least make those last two things happen.
