wtf

i found out recently that an old and good friend of mine got married on Mar 5th in Las Vegas. I've never met the guy and I don't think they've been dating long??? (a month tops??)
holy crap.
going to meet her and the husband for dinner this saturday so i'll get to the bottom of this.
WTF!

it would be my pleasure...

a month ago, when i asked jason's 6 year old nephew, Carter, if he'd like to be our ring bearer, he said, "it would be my pleasure." so cute.
yesterday, jason and i dropped by his sister's house for a quick visit. his sister has 3 kids: Carter, Blake and the newborn - Rhett. She asked the both of us to be Rhett's Godparents. I must say I am really flattered and honored that she would like me to be the Godmum. I've always felt that we never really got along that great, but Jason would always say that she likes me and that i'm just being paranoid.
The Toths aren't an excitable or emotional family. They don't really get excited about things. So when Chantal asked if we could be godparents, jason mumbled some sort of answer that I can only imagine was a "yes." I had to ask her to repeat herself in case i misheard what she said. Of course, I'm all smiles and am excited. After I said yes too, that topic was over and they started talking about their Mum planting something in the garden. so nonchalant.
me, i'm sitting giddy in my chair wanting to talk more about it.
and that's why i'm the lovable one.

waste of time

so this spitzer NY governor guy....who the fuck cares? seriously, who cares what he does in the boudoir? he's politician - is this such a shocker?
if Gordon Campbell or (even better) Sam Sullivan were caught in some sort of sex scandal, i think it would be viewed as more of a farce than some dramatic bullcrap. imagine how good "This Hour Has 60 Minutes" would be! Rick Mercer would have a heyday with that one. i would laugh my ass off if the Premier of BC or the Mayor of Vancouver was caught hiring high-class hookers. WHO CARES. if the lady of the night is not a minor, then it would be consensual sex, n'est-ce pas? He pays, she delivers a service. end of that. The only victims here are the families involved, so why make this even bigger than it should be?
It's weird culture down there.

guilty pleasure

last year when jason and i went to ireland, we watched a lot of movies on the plane. A LOT. 4 movies our way there and 4 movies on our way back. one of them was blades of glory. as they started playing the movie, i obnoxiously rolled my eyes and changed the station to plain old music. but wait. people are laughing. hysterically laughing. i turn around and jason is crying laughing. i quickly change the station back to watch the movie and unfortunately i only caught the end of the movie.

last saturday, i went to my local rogers videostore and decided to rent 2 Days in Paris (very good movie by the way). as i was waiting for the next cashier, i looked at a bin to my left with a stack of movies on sale. $5.99 + 25% off! how could i resist? so i rummage through them and guess what i saw: Blades of Glory. so of course i had to buy it - i mean, i couldn't pass that up. $5.99 + 25% off? What a steal!

so i watched the entire movie tonight and i admit, it made me laugh. a lot. i laughed so hard at their choreography. total hilarity!
oh, what a bargain.

puppy love

i had a big crush on trevor linden in high school. HUGE. crashed his wedding with a classmate huge.

last friday night, valerie and i went to Glowbal in Yaletown and guess what? A few canucks were there to celebrate their lousy play, including Trevor Linden!!!

too fucking cool.

i've met him a couple of times at autograph signings in my teens, but who knew 15 years later, i would see him again? LOVE IT!!!
