This made me chuckle:

70's.

I hate you.

We've to right around freezing, with freezing rain and snow expected this afternoon. It's not even January and I'm *so* ready for winter to be over!

Awwwwwww.

And a truly random thought... I'm beginning to be convinced that dentists are full of it. Blue flosses every single day, and always always brushes in the morning and at night. Yet, the dentist scolds him: "You really should be flossing..." I never ever floss, and often forget to brush my t...

Yeah, it's pretty extreme. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with the campaign if it was only played during shows/times that children wouldn't be watching.

WSS - there's a whole series of ads like that running right now. All of them are pretty shocking. There is a discussion about it in a Toronto blog, here:

Happy Birthday!

Yeah... it's just another way for the city to make money. I didn't have so much of a problem with it, honestly. I'm all for taxing drivers/cars if it encourages more people to use public transit (not that I take public transit daily... but still). And it's not much - like $75 for a year. But to tick...

Dear City of Toronto Parking Authority, Please don't give us a $50 ticket for parking in our own driveway. It's just not right. I know Toronto has this crazy law that you have to pay an annual fee to park in your own driveway... but, see - we did that. We sent in the cheque over the summer. You were...

Ok, pophead - I'll admit it: You made me google that to see if it was real or not. If it was real, I'd TOTALLY buy it for Blue.

Even though we don't have a game system at all.

Thanksgiving in Canada is the first Monday in October, which I still find really, really weird. So for the third year in a row, we hosted a "US Thanksgiving." Of course, we don't get Thursday off so it's usually on a Saturday. This year we did it a bit early (last weekend) because this upc...

Shrinky Nutz???? That's amazing.

HEre's the pumpkin that greeted our trick or treaters:



My favourite part was two separate people (one was a parent, one was 14 or so) asked if the carving was of Blue

I'm excited to actually be able to hand out candy this year. This is my first year in a long time I've lived in a place where there will be kids going door to door (ie, not a university residence or apartment building!). No dressing up for us though - we're too lazy! Have a great Halloween, everyone...

Otis - I didn't see it at first either, so thanks for asking I also thought WSS was just amused by British police for some reason!

I just got back from a pumpkin carving contest/party. Blue and I carved a pumpkin together, which basically meant he dealt with the messy innards and I spent an hour or two carving out Dwight Schrute. I'll post photos later - I was quite proud of how it turned out.

Well I knew too, but I didn't wanna brag

And VG - I do think she looks a a bit like you!

A beautiful baby - congratulations verbal and family!

I just had to teach a co-worker who is in her mid-70s how to use a computer mouse. It's a remarkably difficult thing to do. I'd like to think I was patient, but I worry I just came across as patronizing.

Happy Birthday!

Unfortunately after our curry Blue and Red had to go (they blamed tiredness but I think it was the company :lol: ) I can guarantee it wasn't the company, Verbal - I think Blue was trying too hard to keep up with you guys ;) I don't know how you do it - 4 pints before dinner (on an empty stomach, no...

It's Red, Blue, and SoLack in London (photo by Verbal)!

And more with the wonders of modern technology, we have video of Blue taking the stage at our wedding!

Thanks so much everyone!!! It was a fantastic day, and everything went wonderfully. We really couldn't have asked for a better day. And due to the wonders of digital technology and friends with cameras, we already have a few photos to share! Here we are shortly after first seeing each other: http://...
