siko_md, I thought of you when I saw this. It's called "The Uno".

How would you keep from falling over?

I remember seeing this in glockgal's journal yonks ago.
I bookmarked it at the time and just found it (I have a lot of 'what's this' bookmarks).
I thought I'd give it a spin now. Care to add your take on it?

The Johari Window, mapping personality awareness

Than put one in your journal and let your friends do the same to yours.

Okay, back to cleaning since I obviously didn't get any of the self-cleaning models

Self cleaning clothes. Self cleaning dishes. Self cleaning litter boxes. Self cleaning toilets, sinks and tubs.
Self cleaning kitchens. Self cleaning floors. Self cleaning windows. Self cleaning ovens and stoves. Self dumping garbage. Is that too much to ask for? Is it? Really.

Yay! I found a local store that sells Kleen Kanteens bye bye bye toxic leaching plastic! [Great. Landfill dilemma. What do I do with the multi coloured collection of water bottles I have?] Dizzying delight - the neck is designed especially for ice cubes to fit through! *happy sigh*

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was on television. I can't believe how much of the dialogue I knew and muttered before it was spoken after all these years. "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?"

---

Looking relaxed and tanned, miss_nerd just gave me the cutest hawaiian turtle! :loves!:

---

Are there all new episodes on tv tonight? Supernatural has some 'slaining to do about last week's nonsense!

---

cathybites keeps refueling my love for Tom Waites!!! Say it with me; pehdtsckjmba. I would love to see one of his shows some day. He came to Vancouver once and I think the show sold out in 17.3 seconds!

---

More about TV tonight - the writers of "Two and a half Men" have apparently written tonight's episode of CSI:. That's going to be interesting?

---

One of my cats barfed all over my sofa cushions somewhere between the time I left for work and the time I got back. I don't remember feeding her anything THAT colour or texture before I left. *shudder* I want to burn the sofa.

---

Does anybody want to come over and do my laundry, errands and all my house work. What would you charge per hour?!? For serious!

---

Okay. Shutting up now. We now return to your regularly scheduled LiveJournal community.

Other mac owners might find this amusing.

Haha. this video is funny:
why you shouldn't bring beer to the opera

This one's pretty cool:
nobody skipped rope like this when I was in school

If you do...

O.M.G!!! You HAVE to visit CrookedBrains OMG.
They are monstrosities/way cool/frightening/amazing/grotesque/stunning/mind boggling!!
Go, look, you know you want to. scroll down past the speed trap pictures and stare and stare some more.

And the rest of the stuff is just as fascinating/quirky/peculiar!

Hello LJ friends

I have another random question for my lj friends list if anyone is interested in giving some input into the subject.
Hey, this makes me want to put a poll together. Hmmm. Maybe later today. Hmmmm..

So,where was I? Oh yeah, if you knew someone who was looking to buy an new dSLR camera in the six hundred to one thousand dollar range, which camera direction would you steer them in?

Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Sony, Other?

What do you love about your dSLR that made you fall in love with it and have to have it?
Was it the motion stablizer? The sonic cleaning sensor? The lenses? The physical size (does it really count)? The mega pixels. The 'shoots RAW'? The 2 1/2 inch LCD? Brand loyalty? The sales clerk behind the counter was cute and suggested the camera s/he used? What was it about your camera that made you buy it?

What would you rave about on your dSLR to convince someone looking for a camera that one like yours was the one to have?

I just got my utilities bill. [a bill I sometimes round-up when I pay so the odd bill is lower than most]

$0.05 ... they billed me for five cents people.

The postage cost more!

I wonder if they'd cut my power if I didn't pay it.

::shakes head::

I have a question for my friends list:

Do you know your blood type? Which are you?

MEME
I was tagged by glockgal Wheeep!

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

No rhyme or reason to my list. In no particular order. Some great songs were edited out to keep it to seven:

1. A Scottish Soldier :: Andy Stewart - heartbreakingly
2. Fade Away :: The Bodeans - it hooked me from the opening guitar
3. Word Up :: The Boss Hoss (hillbilly version = priceless)
4. Billie Jean :: David Cook (studio version) - brilliant! Makes up for the horrid original
5. The Beauty in Ugly :: Jason Mraz - I love this singer/song writer's style. A lot!
6. Dream a Little Dream of Me :: Mama Cass Elliot - someone told me I a long time ago that I sounded like her once when I was singing
7. Feelin' Good :: Nina Simone - I love how she uses her voice like a toy. She's amazing


I thought I'd have trouble finding seven. I had trouble narrowing it down to seven. There are soooo many more I'm loving right now. That was fun!!!

And now, I'm going to tag: agent99, alittleblue, chrismm, glendaglamazon, kln1671, ozreison, powrhug...and anybody else who wants to do it.

"Little Green Bag" TELUS commercial

"New Soul" mac 'thin'book commercial

"Billie Jean" David Cook, studio version

Oh Craig's List. You never cease to amaze.

Porn Scribes Wanted

And for no pay at that?

You get what you pay for.

OMG. No matter how bad my day has been a visit to I Can Has Cheezburger is like a mega dose of happy! I think I hurt something laughing at some of the latest submissions.

---

I want David Cook to win as long as he promises to do more acoustic versions of ANYTHING!!!

---

The cold and snow can go away NOW!!!...Oh, Can I Has Cheezburger? Heee, happy again!

Oregan Man Pregnant

I'm not sure which is more shocking;

Just caught Xtina on Ellen.

(O)(O)

Holy Gobsmack! Those puppies AIN'T from lactating!!! JeBus!

Just read a recent interview with JC Chasez about that "Dance Crew" show he does.

Best line: "...but after ten minutes of talking to singer-turned-reality-TV-judge JC Chasez, he seems... dull."
And the readers' comments are entertaining too.

( The rest is under here if you're interested. )

Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew airs Sundays at 7 p.m. ET on MuchMusic.

Hello LJ folks!

This might be out of left field here, but, does anyone know if there's a finished/or have "Dream On" by Chris Kirkpatrick? I only have a little clip of it and I would love to have the whole thing if one exists.
::looks hopefully at friendslist.

And probably just as left field-ish - does anybody know what song the latest TELUS commercial is using?
It's the one with all the colourful parrots. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Anybody? Buhler?

Thank you bunches in advance to anyone who has/knows of either of these and would be willing to share the goodness with moi.

Ugh. Will this week ever end? It feels like it's been going on for ever.
However it was a lovely surprise to escape the salt-mines and step out into spring!
It was one of the beautiful-est days out there today.
Walking home I had to stop and take pictures of a sea of crocusesss on one lawn. They were frickin' everywhere.

So. I won a $100 liquor store gift card in a raffle just before Christmas.
Surprising as it sounds, I haven't used it yet. :o) The other day, silvrsolace brought me a BC Liquor Store Product Guide to help me with my grocery list.

My first look was the 'whiskies' just to see what they had in Highland Single Malts.
*OMG!* There is a "Macallan 50 year old Lalique" going for - wait for it - $7,731.77
What the hell! Who would even consider opening a seven thousand dollar bottle of anything?
But oooooh! Can you imagine the taste after fifty years? *sigh*

Anyway. I've been perusing the wines. There are too many to choose from!
So far "Beringers" is on the list already because it is practically nectar of the Gawds, "Painted Turtle" is on the list and so it "Phoque Blanc" just because of their names. But what else? Too.many.to.choose.from.....

So. Friendslist, do any of you have a wine you would love to recommend?

Also, I was surprised to see that there are "Organic Wines", and one vodka and a few beers. I might have to test taste some of them.

So, yeah, anybody please feel free to recommend some wines for me to buy, y'know y'wanna. :o)

hee!! karri_kln1671, thank you darlin', you're so sweet! *muah*

Week-ends are DEFINITELY too short!!! Yep, too damned short. Spent some really nice one-on-one quality time with my little cornichon glockgal on Friday and a longer than expected Sunday with my little peanut silvrsolace. (Even got a short visit in with my little holiday latte stubbleglitter)

Glock; changing the captions didn't work. :o( What am I doing wrong? Have you started your three shapes yet?
Silvrsolace; thank you so much for sharing "Torchwood" with me! And take care of Winters and the boys for me.

Blech! Week-ends are not long enough. /copy.paste/
