Wednesday Morning Musings, Ups To All Edition

Hola amigos.


I hope that you’re all well on this hump day.

Big ups to E-ve at work. Smile big and flirt for tips. Your horoscope said so.

Trying to come up with ideas for hang out date day tomorrow. Doing my best not to have them all revolve around comic books or comic books movies. It’s tough. Maybe a dinner and left over birthday cake will make up for whatever silliness I come up with.

Huge ups to Team Canada after a great effort last night against the Germans. It was exactly what the team needed and maybe more importantly what the fans needed. With the Russians on tap tonight everyone wanted some confidence going in to tonight. An 8-2 win will give you some confidence.

Also, some of the biggest ups we have go out to Joannie Rochette who skated the best short program of her life last night. With the weight of the world on her shoulders and the thoughts and prayers of a nation behind her she was superb. She now sits in 3rd place going into the long program.

It’s snowing just a little bit in Toronto today. I don’t think it will amount to anything, but it does make it feel like winter outside. Better late than never I guess.

Thanks to Sean from Bad Deacon Design for the offer of a free woodblock print. He had a great idea to get followers on Twitter yesterday by offering a free print to anyone that started following him. I shot him a quick email to tell him that I loved the idea and thanks for the offer. He says the print will be on the way shortly. Check out the website http://www.baddeacondesign.com/

I’ve now moved everything over to my new JLA bag including pins. I think that makes it officially my new day to day shoulder bag. The old one will stay in the apt though. It’s too good to throw away.

Reminder: Chuck comes back with new episodes on March 1st.

E-ve and I had an sms discussion about the bobsled racing last night. I think it would be fun to try and maybe even drive. She thinks that it would be too much of a chance. Add it to the list of things to maybe try some day.

Happy Birthday to step-sister Z.

If you’re on Twitter and like to laugh and love words and writing you should follow FakeAPStylebook. It won’t disappoint.

I think that’s all for today. I’ve got to get my shift in and rush home for some puck.

Have a goodie.

Like wham!

Tuesday Morning Musings, I'm Back, I Told You I'd Be Back.

Good day lovelies.


I hope that you’re all well.

I’m sorry for the being away. I’ve been away for the bday and also with the sick. It was a good and not so good respite from the real world.

Big, huge, large love to E-ve for helping me get over the bulk of the sick while she was going through it too. I tried my best to help her too. We had soup and cuddles and tea and naps. She is the awesome.

Big love also to Romeo and Jake and Daddy Z and Auntie Z for a great birthday weekend. A good time was had by all, smiles and laughs were abundant and I am happy to be a year older.

I’ve also moved my day to day things to my new JLA bag that I got from Ottawa as a present. It’s super comfy and will certainly get the job done.

Congrats to all of the Canadian athletes who have excelled over the last few days. Our gold medal total has climbed to 5 and the women’s hockey team and both curling teams have very strong chances to add to that tally.

I got some spending cash from Daddy Z that I think will turn into comic books as long as E-ve has lifted the purchase for myself ban.

Toronto finally got snow yesterday which has caused some slippery streets and wet walking for folks today. The plows look like they have done a good job and so far the city is still moving. They are calling for more precipitation today, but with temperatures above freezing I’m not sure it will be snow. There will be moisture in the air for the next 5 days or so in a row. Be ready friends.

Tres excited for the Canadian men’s puck tonight against Germany. It should be a game that Canada has little trouble with, but after watching the messes against the Swiss and the Americans I’m not super confident. I will be cheering from the comfort of my bed with soup I’m sure, but cheering for sure.

I have a feeling that cheesy, English muffin garlic bread would go well with soup tonight, but I don’t know if that’s a good idea.

I think that’s all for today mes amis. I’m gonna have to ease back in after taking so many days off.

And as always, if you’re only here this one day a week, we’ll see you next Tuesday.

Like wham!
