Vegetables are my friends. . .


Alright, I apologize for my earlier filler post. I was bored and feeling pretty ill so had nothing better to do than fill quizzes on Dr. Evil's laptop while I nursed the godawful stomach pangs I was having.

Still on this documentary watching blitz. I saw Food Matters and Simply Raw: Reversing diabetes in 30 days. So this ties in with the godawful stomach pangs. I was feeling down and pretty low so I told Dr. Evil to buy some burgers for cheap. I haven't had take-out food in some time now. You know. . . 'cause I'm poor :P

Well, unfortunately as much I had liked eating out all these years, it most definitely does not agree with me anymore. I wasn't even food poisoning. . .I just felt extremely physically ill after I ate the very delicious but super-processed food.

Now I'm a logical thinking person but I don't eat healthy. I haven't eaten super-healthy since I was a teenager. When I was a teen, I was surrounded by friends who were super weight and exercise conscious. Not that I was particularly that way, but when all your friends are doing it. . .well, so are you. Probably the last time I was in such good shape. Well then, I lost my mind. . .drank a lot and ate out quite a bit. Gained waaaay too much weight. Although now I've cut back on a lot of things, I still don't exercise. So although I probably won't gain anymore weight. . .I'm not losing it either because of my lack of exercise. Hopefully this summer I will do more regarding the exercise. Also, since watching those docs I think I will start having quite a number of meatless nights; my wallet will probably thank me.

I'd never go full vegetarian, meat is just too delicious to me to give up. Not sure how I'll convince Dr. Evil to join my bandwagon. He's a self-proclaimed Meaty Meatatarian. But then again, I'm the one who cooks all the meals.

In other news, Thing 1 and Thing 2 are back from their weekend. Looks like they had a lot of fun. First time going to a movie theatre and godparents said that they enjoyed it. Only two accidents. Thing 1 got sick in the car and messed herself at their place but otherwise godparents enjoyed having them and even asked us to let us know when the could take care of them again. I may very well take them up on their offer.

And for no reason a music video. . .before Youtube decides to yank them all off.

Random Thoughts 2


Told ya I was going to do another one of these.

  • Been watching a whole bunch of tween/teen movies. I saw Twilight, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and She's the Man. Although, my adult brain can no longer understand the scores of stupidity in these movies; putting my brain aside, I found them light-hearted and enjoyable.
  • Still having Drama with Dr. Evil's family over our roof getting done. Late-night calls, threatening to overcharge us and such. In hindsight, this may have not been worth it. Guess I'll be spending all my Christmases here or in London.
  • Feeling heavily blue all the time. Still haven't been back to school. Told Dr. Evil to get me some Vitamin D and Cod Liver Oil; hopefully this will give me the energy I need.
  • Twins are off to the Godparents this weekend. I will finally get a break and they will get to watch Monsters vs. Aliens. Also, godfather burned a whole bunch of movies for them to watch. . .very happy with that, finally means I'll get to watch something other than Shrek 2 constantly.
  • Am starting on a sci-fi/documentary watching bend. Probably inspired by the current book I'm reading. I believe it's the longest gap of time I've ever taken for reading a book, mostly because of the moving/children thing. Been about 2 years.
  • Sad about the fact that I'm at square one again for the debt. This is gonna be a lot tougher to get through than I imagined.
  • Glad about the house looking more like what I envisioned when I moved in. It's not perfectly there but it's definitely a good start. Hope that I can get a lot of work done on the outside of the place in the summer.
  • Also happy that it's warming up. . .looking forward to 30 degree weather soon (I hope!).
  • Need to make plans to visit folks. Namely folks I didn't fit in last year. . .it's a pain never having a free weekend but hey, if I don't keep in touch who know when I'll see folks again.

Future Fantasic? The Obama Deception?

I've spent the last couple of days reading about Edgar Cayce. I had watched several documentaries on him as well as other "prophets" like Nostradamus and the like. Still waiting for Mabus (unless he's already here :P.)

But I digress, I have always found Mr. Cayce fascinating. His predictions and work happened really not that long ago in the span of time. Many of his predictions were accurate too. Not that I'm prone to flights of fancy, I love science and I was probably more excited hearing about the launch of the Hadron Collider and it's possibilities over the Obama election.

Which brings me to . . .the future. I'm pretty sure it's human nature to want to know what may or may not happen. I am in charge of my free will or are there greater powers doing the work for me. It would be too much to get into, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks these things from time to time.

After watching these biographies I became very interested in George Orwell and Alduous Huxley. Animal Farm is still the only book I've read over 10 times and I never re-read any book. These great visionaries of course, didn't write any old book. Through my deep depression in High School these books were like water to me in a vast desert.

Now after brusing up on my rhetoric, I came across this "documentary" while on my regular sojourns on the net. Not sure as to how much of a documentary it is compared to opinion but I do like that they say go out and do the research yourselves.



Well, after watching it, I thought of the song Ms. Jackson and the lyric a friend of mine posted. You can plan a pretty picnic but you can't predict the weather. . .

The Dramatic Roof


Well, I'm back at square one for the debt status. Had to pay for the new roof. Probably have a lot of other things to pay for in the house too. It's a very nice roof. Better than code and I won't have to do it again until I'm about 65 years old. That probably makes the drama of getting the roof worth it.

Let me start at the beginning. Now I know that I needed a new roof. My home inspector told me that I did. This was of course before I knew about the too much debt status. At the time I thought, no problem I can save up and do that. Well, things didn't happen that way and I had to do the roof as cheaply and as durable as possible. Cue to my in-laws.

Now, I like my in-laws. I have two sets since Dr. Evil's parents are divorced. Imagine my heart attack at having to meet all of them when we were getting married. 7 years later I'm glad that I don't live near any of them, but they're still nice people.

Dr. Evil's mother is a very fussy, finicky and naggy person. Still nice, but thankfully I don't have to live with her. Her boyfriend, the Rooster is also nice and a extremely handy individual.

He builds houses for a living. He can make roofs, hell. . .he could probably redo my entire house, he's that good. Also, if he did it. . .I would never have to worry about re-doing it for years because his work is meticulous and he's damn good at it, it's truly his calling. One problem though. . .he's an alcoholic. Not just some undercover alcoholic. . .a raging, angry, drinking constanly, crashed his car numerous times and finally had his licence suspended kind of alcoholic.

So although I knew that he would do an excellent job. . .there would definitely be drama. If I wanted the good, I would have to take the bad. I've definitely had it bad with this individual, he's had me by the throat when I was pregnant and only let go when Dr. Evil's mother nearly ripped his eyes out. . .yeah, that kinda bad.

Firstly, up until the day of. . .didn't know if they were coming. Found out at the last possible minute. This was weeks after loads of drunken calls at all hours of night after the original asking of could it be done.

Next, since I didn't know if they were coming I hadn't ordered the supplies. They informed me that it would be as easy as snap to get them. Not the case. As such, the first day was wasted just attempting to get the supplies with workers who were getting paid $20 an hour sitting around doing nothing. For the good folks at Home Depot, thank you for your amazing work. I'd still have those folks here if you didn't pull through. Just need to find the right words to say when I write my customer appreciation letter to you. Yeah, they were that good. The folks at AMA as well, thank you. As for the people of Rona, now I remember why I only buy paint from you (for the airmiles) and nothing else. . .you are retards!

Now on to the actual work. Three old guys who drank constantly and one young guy who didn't. Guess which one worked non-stop. To the young guy, who was polite, grateful and working. . .I personally invited him back to stay with us whenever he liked. Hell, he even took care of the girls for me. Not the other guys didn't work, but I didn't have to clean up all the beer bottles from my front and backyard, apologize to my neighbours constantly and generally be stressed from the constant fighting as much.

They finally finished waaaaay later than they should have. The rooster was refusing to leave at around 9 p.m. and stole our flashlight. I finally went in and put the kids to bed after scrubbing them down since their feet bottoms were black from how dirty my floors were. From what I understand. . .it was as horrible a drive home as it was a ride coming up for them. There's a whole bunch more that happened that I didn't include, neighbour drama and such. Thankfully, the f***tards were gone at least until next time.

But hey, I've got a damn fine roof!

The New Dora


Well, here's the pic of the new Dora versus the old Dora. I'm not impressed. Where the hell is her backpack and why isn't she wearing running shoes?

Jeez Mattel, you already got Barbie as the impossible standard that I had to grow up too. You've sunk your only competition with the Bratz Dolls. This f*ckery should not continue, I hope every parent raises hell until the new Dora doesn't look like she's wearing lipstick.

In other news, I'm getting my roof done. I'll have to speak about that drama when the roofing people leave!

Purity Ring and Mickey Mouse back in Valhalla


The title is taken from the season from what happened in the season premiere of South Park. Still as funny as ever, and I still love it.

In the episode the Kenny gets a purity ring with his girlfriend which they wear on their wedding fingers (natch). Instead of having sex, they become boring and hang out with other couples who wear purity rings. All they talk about is how great Grey's Anatomy is and watch rentals for fun. Kenny slowly becomes a drone of sorts and starts to forget who he is since he's given up everything for his purity ring. So you can understand why I found this as funny as I did.

Yeah, marriage can get pretty boring but honestly I wouldn't haven't any other way. When I was a teen and in my early twenties, I was fine living on the "edge." How I managed to do that with little of no sleep for x amount of years I'll never know but somehow I did. The older I got, the less that life looked appealing to me. It may still look appealing to others but not anymore to me. I can gladly say been there, done that. I'm more into this boring life I've made for myself, and yes, it probably involves a lot of the things South Park made fun.

Sometimes being a stereotype makes you happy :)

Also, fire-breathing Mickey Mouse who beats the crap out of the Jonas Brothers is pretty damned cool.
