Random Thoughts...

  • People who do not know how to read a newspaper ought to be tossed into a giant blender. They would make better use of themselves as fertilizer and mulch than as human beings.
  • "Vanilla" scented perfume does NOT smell like vanilla. Vanilla should strictly be used for baking and not for bathing. You actually smell like a very bad science experiment.
  • Xmas should not start on November 1st and last through until January 1st. Soon after Xmas decorations are taken off the shelf they are then replaced by a sha-hed-load Valentine's day crap! Can we, please, just STOP with all the effing commercialism already? Why do you think the economy is how it is in the first place?
  • I've officially decided that Entertainment Tonight has more news credibility than CNN.
  • Not matter how far we have come in the whole 'equal rights' movement, I still think it's a great thing when men hold open doors for women.
  • If you have never experienced the wonder of the Canadian Classic "Anne of Green Gables" on film then I suggest that you do.
  • I'm still hoping that my favourite black hat that I lost 2 years ago will somehow mysteriously appear in my hat/mitten/scarf bin.
  • 2008 was super suckage in the way of films for a few exceptions: Burn After Reading, The Dark Knight, Religulous, Wall-e, Sweeney Todd, Juno (but I think that was 2007)...
  • You can never go home.
  • You can never solve your parents' problems; you can just try to raise them right and hope they make the best decisions on their own.
  • I am able to keep plants alive! Finally, after 15+ years, many failed attempts, mass suicides and grisly slayings, I have managed to keep 6 plants alive and in relatively good health too. My secret: finding plants that are impossible to kill!
  • The food network is one of my favourite channels. I can't cook exotic meals, but I imagine myself being able to follow the instructions of these culinary masters and create mouth-watering meals. One problem I do have is that half the ingredients they use are so utterly foreign to me that I wouldn't even know the first place to look for these things at the supermarket!
