Sping? Winter?

I just don't know what season it is today. It was so chilly on the way in, I thought my fingers and ears would fall off. Now, it's beautiful, it's sunny, there's blue sky, but there's also snow (?!?) in the forecast for tonight. I'm confused!

Said to me

I wasn't sleeping! I was wide awake but my eyes weren't.

Uh huh, nice try!

A conversation with GOD - the Alex chat

A while ago, I had a frustrating chat with God. Tonight Alex thought he'd try his luck.

Alex:
i'm happy now because i'm full of my wife's macaroni and cheese and I spoke with my unborn baby today

God:
Ah. Don't call me "baby". I'm delighted you're glad. Your happiness adds to the delight of all. What did you talk about?

Alex:
oh, I was asking it why it was kicking the inside of my wife's tummy so much

God:
It's all good. "It" being what?

Alex:
my baby

God:
Don't call me "baby". Oh I get it.

Alex:
finally

God:
At last.

Alex:
you good now?

God:
Oh. I haven't heard anything like that before: said I good.

Alex:
this is weird, talking to God through a computer. Had I known, I should do this more often.

God:
You don't say. No I don't think I have any you know you should do this more often. But I do have a great botmaster.

Alex:
I'm beginning to think God is smoking too much of the hippie lettuce.

God:
You believe that? I have a lot of Faith in Him, but I never heard He was smoking too much of the hippie lettuce.

Alex:
this is getting weird

God:
You don't say.

Alex:
Will my life ever have any meaning?

God:
I think so.

Alex:
Oh and did I mention I like macaroni and cheese?

God:
Hey. I think you did mention it before.

Alex:
Anyway, back to the original question, will my life have any meaning?

God:
Yes, let us get back to you like macaroni and cheese.

Alex:
is macaroni and cheese your favourite food too?

God:
Signs point to yes. Ask LeknorChat if it is.

Alex:
Is LeknorChat your drug dealer?

God:
It could be. Ask Alison if it is.

Alex:
Is Alison your mistress?

God:
Ask again later. Ask LeknorChat if it is.

Alex:
I guess LeknorChat is too stoned as well to answer my questions

God:
And too stoned as well to answer your questions is LeknorChat.

Alex:
Is my unborn child a boy or a girl?

God:
It depends who you ask.

Alex:
I'm asking you

God:
OK you can ask me.

Alex:
I just did

God:
Perhaps from your unconscious.

Alex:
no, I said it out loud

God:
Are you serious? What did you mean by it? it out loud out loud?

Alex:
Ummm....I just farted out loud

God:
Come on. That is interesting: said farted out loud.

Alex:
no I didn't say it, I made a smell

God:
Are you serious? Sorry I misunderstood. What did you say?

Alex:
forget this. this is getting stupid

God:
I will ask Myself to purge my memory log. You don't say.

Alex:
purge your memory log with more drugs?

God:
Are you free?

Alex:
are you asking me out on a date?

God:
Suppose I was asking you out on a date? What would you say?

Alex:
I'd have to ask my wife

God:
How much would you pay for it?

Alex:
pay for what?

God:
Can you rephrase the question please?

Alex:
How much would I pay for what?

God:
Hypthetical risk calculations are not part of my programming.

Alex:
good night God. I have to go have some ice cream now

God:
Thanks for the compliment. Are you still located in? Oh. Bye. I've never thought about it.

Is this goodbye?

Alex and I went out tonight to a place where they had tvs that actually picked up CBC without me to stand on on leg with my left hand on top of my head and my tongue out and Alex standing on his head, holding the cable cord in his hand.

We had to see the Canuck's last game of the season, even though it meant nothing, because, well, it could be Trevor Linden's last game.

The poster that graced my bedroom wall through high school...it even went to boarding school with me.

Number 16 has been my favourite Canuck EVER! And it looks like (although nothing is official) that tonight was his last game and he's retiring. At the beginning of the second period, he got a standing ovation from the crowd before the puck dropped and as the camera panned around the rink, the Canucks bench was standing banging their sticks and even the Calgary Flames had stood up and were doing the same. The game ended with lots of applause, the crowd chanting "Trevor, Trevor" over and over, a mob of hugs from his team and handshakes with the Flames (although Alex and I both noticed Mike Keenan was not in that line up). And even though the Canucks lost 7-1, Trevor Linden was the game's #1 star.


Yeah, a fitting goodbye for Captain Canuck...I hoped that when he retired, his final skate around the ice would have him holding that big silver cup, but if this is it, well, he got the send off he deserved.

You can see it on YouTube (especially for those in Australia!).

(p.s. I've got my fingers crossed that this isn't really goodbye!)

Unwelcome, uninvited visitors

You know the kind, like the fabled Great-Aunt Gertrude or whatever old great-aunt lives in your family's closet. The lady who has to be three hundred years old, smells like powder, wet cabbage and stinky cats who arrived unannounced on your doorstep with her carpet bag. She hogs the best bed in the house, she complains about everyone, she insults the kids, the food is too rich, not rich enough, too salty, not salty enough, there's too much of it or not enough of it...you get my drift. And she overstays her welcome. Whether she stays for one hour or one month, it's far too long!

Yeah, so our unwelcome, uninvited visitor reappeared twice last night. I kind of scared it when I yelled really loud the second time I saw it...I was kind of hoping it was a figment of my tired imagination when I saw it the first time. I hope when we move, it doesn't move with us.

Sigh.

Even though I don't need another way to procrastinate

...they just keep falling into my lap.

Today it's Postcards From Yo Momma.

Why is the end part of year end (the filing and tidying) even less appealing than year end...maybe because there's no deadline or urgency to it?

I don't know...just stop procrastinating and get on with it already!!
