Signing off for the weekend.....

....hopefully you enjoy your weekend as much as these guys clearly enjoy theirs.



Talk to you Monday!

If you really hate someone.....

....but have to pretend to like them, let me suggest a couple of ideas to make Christmas shopping for them easier.

Here are two of the worst gifts to buy that awful someone....

Option A: The Creepy Gift



Sometimes, you need a hug. But if there's not a live person around, your options are limited, and almost always pretty creepy. Luckily, ThinkGeek.com has what it thinks is the answer. The Beating Heart Pillow is big and soft and cuddly and reproduces the sound and feel of a beating human heart. Available in a 10-inch model for US$34.99 and a 15-inch models for US$49.99, depending on how big your emotional hole is.

Option B: The Annoying Gift



One of the most truly passive-aggressive products ever marketed, the Flying Alarm Clock may be the most convoluted of evil gifts. At a preset time, the Flying Alarm Clock lets out an ear-piercing shriek, while simultaneously launching a little plastic helicopter thingy at the ceiling. The alarm will not stop until the projectile is found and reinserted into the top of the clock. Available from ThinkGeek.com for US$24.99, it's the perfect gift for anyone who you want to hate you forever.

This is our cat....

....Angus. There is something wrong with his mouth and it doesn't close all the way and sometimes his tongue hangs out.



Especially when he's getting sleepy.



He's not slow or anything. Just special.

I'm not ashamed to admit it....

.....yesterday I went up to Zehr's here in town. Now I wasn't there to shop. To tell you the truth I was there to spy on the competition. Another radio station was doing an event I dropped by to do gather some undercover intel. While I was there though we noticed this couple at the dumpster, loading furniture into the back of a pick up. They basically cleaned house but when they left we went over to check it out and got this amazing wooden table that had been used in the store during renovations. I'm not ashamed to admit I spent time dumpster diving at Zehr's. I am also the first one up on Saturday morning when I should be sleeping off a bit of red wine, just so I can hit up the yard sales. Flea markets are heaven. but the best day of all is Giveaway Day. Twice a year it's like Christmas as I crawl the curbs looking for free crap. The next one is coming up in 7 months. Start the countdown.

Don't Worry, Be Happy

I thought Bobby McFerrin was dead. I mean, I don't consciously think about him often, but something made me think of him today. So I looked him up on Wikipedia. He's alive. Fortunately he's got no plans to release more music.

There you go.

I had to work at the bar last night....

...and when I came home I saw the cutest thing ever.



I proceeded to take dozens of photos, all the while hoping they wouldn't move and ruin the cuteness. Lola was totally unimpressed though and made it clear she would rather I hadn't woken her up in the first place.



She can be such a prima donna sometimes.

I just went into.....

...the washroom at work and noticed that I have sparkles all over my chest. I bought new Christmas ornaments and I must have somehow transferred the sparkles to my neck & chest after handling them this morning. (I mean after handling the ornaments, not handling my chest.) I didn't notice until a few moments ago and I'm very worried that my co-workers now think that I intentionally sparkled up my chest, stripper style. Ugh.
