Sunday Morning Musings, Jay Mewes Is A Hero Edition

Happy New Year to everyone out there celebrating the Year of the Tiger.


First and foremost a big happy Valentine’s Day to my E-ve. She’s the bees knees and the best Valentine a dude could ask for.

Secondly, happy Valentine’s Day to everyone else. I hope you all have a great day.

And happy birthday wishes go out to Daddy Z and our friend Bambi Blue from http://www.hotpinkgeek.com/

We’ll be seeing Daddy Z next week to wish him a good year in person.

High fives to Jenn Heil who had an amazing run in the Woman’s Moguls last night and took home the silver medal. I watched her run and cheered in my apartment as she took over the lead with only American Hannah Kearney left to ski. Kearney though, was amazing herself. Both women had almost perfect runs and I’m sure that Kearney’s friends and family and fans are proud of her just as Heil’s are happy to have seen her on the podium.

Last night also saw the death on the Dunk Contest. Unless something huge happens next year at All-Star week-end February 13th 2010 will be the day that people remember as the end. DeMar Derozan and Nate Robinson went head to head in the finals with Nate taking 51% of the fan vote to win his 3rd title. Derozan had the dunk of the night with an assist from Sonny Weems, but both dudes were flat in the final round. Charles Barkley’s commentary was the most entertaining part of the even overall.

There won’t be a single one of you that is jealous of last night’s at home dinner. It’s also the reason that there aren’t any pictures of it. I will tell you that sausages, creamed corn, salsa, Tabasco and onion were on the ingredient list. Let it never be said that I’m not creative in the kitchen.

I’ve just reached the part in Kevin Smith’s My Boring Ass Life where the story of Jason Mewes and his struggles with drug addiction is told. It’s an amazing tale that draws me in every time I start reading the book. Mewes is a celebrity, but to read about him in this way makes him just a regular dude. I’m glad to hear that he’s clean and sober and fighting the good fight. If you’re looking for a story with a happy ending after some very very sad parts, this is the one for you.

I feel like I’m doing a good thing right now as in the background of the computer I’m doing work to help out a Reverend. And, it’s Sunday. Mommy Z would be proud.

I just got the news that one of my favourite people in the world and his boyfriend have broken up. It makes me sad because they were together for a long time. But he truly is an amazing dude and I have no doubt that things will work out for him.

It’s a little bit grey outside today. But is it ever lovely temperature wise. I forgot to put my scarf on this morning, but it certainly didn’t matter. And to be honest, most years, if we were to have weather like this on the 14th of March I’d be happy. Weird weird weird.

I’m trying my best not to put on Youtube and watch Zac Brown Band videos.

I think that’s all for today mes amis. Have a great day. Enjoy Family Day tomorrow if you’re off and get to sleep in like I do. And enjoy the NBA All-Star game tonight if you’re into that kind of thing.

Monday Morning Musings, Welcome To February Quick Fire Edition

Good morning y'all.



Welcome to your new work week.



I'm on the BB so I think we'll go with an old fashioned quick fire edition.



Big ups to E-ve for being cool beans. Here's hoping for a good, long, restful day.



Best wishes to Mrs. E-ve's mom today as she's under the weather this morning.



Go team me as I've already cruised through a crossword and a half this morning.



Big smiles from me after a Raptors win last night. That makes 5 in a row and there are more winnable games coming up on the schedule.


Wishes for quick healing go to Hedu Turkoglu as he took a shot to the face and now has a non-displaced fracture of his orbital bone. There are rumours that the team is going to try to get him to wear a mask and play but no official word yet.



E-ve is excited about the moves made by the Maple Leafs yesterday if for no other reason than she now has an excuse to say Phaneuf more often.



I'm waiting on more news from the Habs regarding Mike Cammalleri and his knee. I'm hoping for good news. Cross your fingers for me.



More serious thoughts of job hunting are on my mind.



Congrats to the Zac Brown Band after they won the Best New Artist Award at the Grammy's last night. I really do dig on those guys. And their Chicken Fried.



I watched Chuck last night on City TV... Things are gonna get dicey for my hero pretty soon.



The show also keeps breaking my heart just a little bit with the Sarah and Chuck lines.



I think that's about it for me today ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy your day as much as you can.

Saturday Morning Musings, That's A Challenge Edition

Good morning webheads.

I hope that everyone is warm and happy on this Saturday morning.

Big love to E-ve who had a rough trip home last night due to TTC issues. It was cold, but she was pretty bundled. Hopefully she’s thawed out by now and is comfy and cozy.

Congrats to the Raptors on another win last night. It was a game that they should have had less trouble with, but road wins are hard to come by in the NBA so I’ll just be happy with the W.

E-ve told me that it’s okay to be excited and countdown to Chuck now. So I am. Right now, while I type this we are just under 33 hours away from Chuck season 3 premiering on NBC.

Yay!

I got to watch the 1st episode of Glee yesterday on Showcase Diva. Don’t judge me. It was the first time that I had seen the episode and I very much understand why it was enough to get the hype machine moving.

Think we might have a plan for Family Day this year. It's the next holiday on the calender and a good time to hang out with Mommy Z and the animals out in the country.

High fives to everyone braving the cold. It’s chilly out there. If you’re not bundled up don’t even think about spending time out there. You’d be crazy.

E-ve and I postponed our scheduled Scrabble match from last night due to high levels of sleepiness. It was a reprieve for her as I would kick her ass. Ya that’s right, I said it. It’s a challenge. This is a throw down, a show down. Hell no I won’t slow down. Hehe

Currently watching Something, Something Dark Side on the computer at work.

Watched more Zac Brown videos on Youtube this morning. I'm starting to really dig these guys and their southern sound.

I’ll be cheering for the Dallas Cowboys tonight in the NFL play-offs. Let’s go ‘Boys!

Alright ladies and gents, I think it’s time to get some work done and check my fantasy pool picks one more time before the deadline.

Have a great weekend folks.

Friday Morning Musings, Found One! Edition

Good day to all of my friends, family, foes and fans.



I hope you're all having what's shaping up to be a great Friday.



Thursday was a pretty awesome day for today to compete with. E-ve had a pretty good birthday and I was happy to be part of it.



Her mum did a great job getting some M&M steaks for their dinner and then it was karaoke time. She did a great job singing Out Tonight from RENT and also Love Will Keep Us Together. Hearing her sing makes me smile. We also got to hang with a few of her friends from the restaurant. Everyone had big smiles, chips and salsa and laughs. Good times.



P.S. Thank you to the TTC street car and bus drivers for making a pretty sweet exception and getting her home quicker, warmer and safer than what could have been. Much appreciated.



We also got to share a few funny moments as some of the patrons would have fit perfectly at a bar we used to sing at in Ottawa.



I had a good time trying 2 songs that I had never sung before as well. The 1st was Use Somebody by the Kings of Leon. I felt pitchy to start but was happy with it overall. The 2nd was Chicken Fried by the Zac Brown Band. I had some trouble with the flow of some of it. But the chorus and I got along just fine and I dig that song. It's still in my head.



The cable is being dumb. Digital radio is all I have access to.



Tomorrow marks the start of the 2nd half of the CBC fantasy hockey season. It also means that if I get my stuff together and make good picks I might be able to make a run at the KIA they are giving away. Wish a dude luck.



I was very confused by the whole colour thing in all the girls statuses on FB yesterday. I did figure it out. And I am made to understand that it's in support of Breast Cancer awareness. As long as everyone knows what it's about I think it was probably wide reaching enough to spread some serious awareness.



Does anyone else remember when Heroes was worth waiting for every Monday night?



In other Monday night entertainment news: Chuck is "this close" to being back. There is a 2 episode shot for your viewing pleasure on Sunday night, followed by another episode on Monday night. IMDB is showing 12 episodes for this season which means a quarter of their season is coming up in the next 4 days.



I hope everyone is finding a way to stay warm on this chilly day.



I think that's all for now mes amis.



Have a great day. Happy Friday!
