Monday Morning Musings, Fastest Man Alive Edition

Good morning boys and girls.

In honour of Usain Bolt I’m going to try and write this post in 9.58 seconds. I know it won’t happen, but I’m going to try my best to pound it out quick.

How about the fastest man in the world… exactly one week to the day since he set the previous record at the Olympic games in Beijing he went out and bettered the record by .11 seconds. This guy looks unstoppable, and there’s a chance he is. I can’t wait until the next time he bests it because he’s probably going to run a sub 9.5 race.

Missed Entourage last night, but that’s okay because we’re going to have it downloaded here in the store before long. I saw some Chris Bosh tweets about the episode, but luckily he didn’t give anything away other than something about Johnny Drama being in trouble. I’m intrigued because the show has drawn me in. I’m sure I’ll have something to say about it after I see it.

Congratulations to Y.E. Yang! If you’ve never heard of this guy, you’re not alone. He’s a 37 year old South Korean who came into the weekend with 1 career PGA tour win. And on Sunday he did the unthinkable. Yesterday I even wrote that it would be a tall order for someone to knock off Tiger, and that he was 14 for 14 when leading after 3 rounds. And then Y.E. Yang came out yesterday and pulled off a golf miracle. I watched him chip in for an eagle on the back nine to take the lead and that was all she wrote. Sorry Tiger, maybe next year.

Had dinner with E-ve for the first time at the new apartment. We took the street car as far west as it would take us… which wasn’t far because of construction… and then had ourselves a little walk. Because we realized that I haven’t moved anything from the kitchen yet we had to buy paper plates and plastic cups and serviettes. And then we ended up with pretty good pizza, at a very good price. Old Man Pizza was a huge find. Less than $16 got us 2 medium pizzas with 3 toppings, 2 dipping sauces and 2 cans of pop. I don’t think there’s a better deal available. And if there is, I’ll be blogging about that too.

Just started a download of 2 Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place. I used to love that show when it was on TV, both with and without the pizza place. Ryan Reynolds was funny on TV long before he was huge in movies.

Only 2 sleeps left in the old apartment. Took the measuring tape to the new place yesterday to make a better plan of where everything will fit. I think that everything is going to fit alright, and there may be a little more comfortable living. We’ll see how it comes together when bigger things start getting loaded in.

Wag of the finger to Telus as text messages from their subscribers to me were delayed for hours yesterday.

Big thank you to E-ve for the jar of peach jam that is now in the new fridge at the new place. I can’t wait to get the toaster moved over so that it can be part of a well balanced breakfast.

I think that’s it for today folks. I have some internetting to do before we watch Entourage and then the rest of the day follows along as it always does.

Like wham!
