Hippo Night... Reader Discretion Advised
Well it was a night on the town Friday night and I have to say, it was a great time had by all, from the yummy beverages to the dickhead balloons (lol inside joke had to be there...) and it was not dampened by the heard of thong infested hippos that crossed our paths. Now the definition of hippo is... an unattractive larger member of the female genre that is adorned in generally black bar clothing that is between 3 and 5 sizes to small with a thong peaking from beyond the nether regions and a soon to be bride veil perched upon her far too poofy do! Lets just say that LVR and I counted conservatively about a dozen of these species. Our hopes are that Darwin will get his ass in gear and take care of them before we do!
Went on a crazy 4x4 adventure on Sunday too. Check outour adventures on
this page and this one and this one and finally this one. All in total there were a dozen of us that showed up for the adventure. If you are interested in participating in future adventures check out the forums on Jeep Kings~ Trail Runs! It is a great time with great people.
Adopted a pet who doesn't shed!
Other than that my weekend was too short, like always but packed full of adrenaline :)

Happy Weekend :o)
Well it is the weekend... Finally! Chris and I did something this mornign that we haven't done in ages ( boy does that make me sound old...lol). We slept in! A novel concept I know, but a rare one. We both woke up around 8:15 ish or so and then promptly went back to sleep. He actually got out of bed(and then came back), me on the other hand, I kept sleeping. We finally dragged our lazy butts out of bed after Lance took stage 19 by 61 seconds. It was the perfect beginning to a much needed lazy weekend.
Spoke to a dear 2 dear friends last night who I haven't had nearly enough contact with lately. Actually got to have tea with one of them... by the way sir, you look like you have lost more weight... is this a fact? Careful you might disappear soon :o) The other dear friend was strangely enough one of the many conversation topics that occurred over tea. Needless to say there is a pending evening out with her tonight. Yeah always a great time with LVR.
I found a new blog of an old friend... made me happy to see that she is online. Welcome Sher, great to have ya. Tell Slumley that I think the kitty is a must keep.
I found some great pics of some pretty cool storms while perusing other blogs. I am currently using one of the aurora Borealis photos as my wall paper.
If by chance anyone feels compelled to buy me a gift, for whatever reason, I would like this please, and one of these too. Please and thank you, with sugar on top.
Jeopardy Update...
So Ken Jennings is still winning! Last night was the final taped episode of the season, repeats until Labour Day. Last night he won his 38th day in a row, has accumulated well over 1.3 million dollars and now holds another record on the show. He holds the longest winning streak, the most dollars earned in total and now the most winnings in a single episode ( last night he took home $75 000 U.S.D). He beat the previous record by $23 000 for a single episode winnings. This guy is incredible. I mean lets be real here for a second... when was the last time you saw a Jeopardy champion on Letterman and Leno, CNN, Regis and Kelly, and various other information shows. Not to mention when you google Ken Jennings + Blogs + Jeopardy you get 990 hits and even a Ken Jennings Cult!
New Hair Colour! So I have been a red head( and various shades of it) for about a year and a half now, thought maybe it was time for a change. So this is the new shade I am currently sporting. Otherwise known as #63 or Sparkling Amber. I have to say it is weird to dye my hair and not have my head look like is is hemorrhaging. I currently have no opinion of the colour since it is still in the gel stage on m y head as I blog this.
For those of you who refer to me a red, I would prefer to be known as the friend formerly known as red...lol. Or you can call me Amber now, which is much less appealing and much more pornstarish. Ah the life of a porn star. Speaking of porn, we have digital cable and with comes some pretty interesting stuff to watch when you get in to the 200's. Well there is this series that is on saturday nights, which is basically the life of Seymore Butts . For those of you who do not know who he is he is an adults entertainment director. You would never expect a guy like this to be so normal, but he is! The weirdest part about the show is that you spend a large part of it listening to his mom talk about how her son is a porno director. There is some odd stuff on T.V. now adays, that's all I have to say about that!
One last link for you... cool body art!
Well time to rinse.

Allo just Bloggin a bit
So I feel like getting back at it now that the computer seems to be back in a much more desirable state. Ah to be free from the evil adware and spyware and the terrible windows mods that possessed my computer. How appropriate is the hindsite is 20/20 saying at this point. Oh well live and learn I suppose. The moral of the story... USE RESTORE POINTS!!
Again another honourable mention for the google master. Just finished reading a couple healthy entries that I have title scanned but not really had the chance to read in the past week. What I found was an interesting link about the new XP SP2. So being that I work for a company who specializes in doing IT research, I thought I would check out our site for some info on the topic to see what we had to say on the matter. Well due to the fact that I cannot give out the username and password without receiving my pink slip I will tell you that we did review it on the 21st of June and gave it a thumbs up. We also linked to this Microsoft article. Of course I am not slamming another site or another blog, just adding to your reading library... lol.
On a culinary note ...
Rib Fest is next weekend here in London. Mmmmmm, ribs.... yes this is me drooling. I haven't been to it since Chris and I started dating because his family reunion is the same time every summer, but we are not going to the reunion this year and we will actually get to enjoy it. I can honestly say that ribfest is one of those things that make the foundations of my primary memory of London. I remember visiting here when I was a teen and the sweet aroma of BBQ emanating through out the city atmosphere. It is a mouthwatering scent to wake up to after a tough week of work. Or in my earlier experiences a tough week of partying...lol I mean lets be real this is summer we are talking about and being a teenager.
On a weather note ...
So I am sure by now that we have all heard about the Flood In Peterborough . It makes me sad. I really feel bad for the residents, unfortunately I am not surprised. I lived in Peterborough for 4 years while I was at SSFC completing my education. The sewer and drainage system there was always less than what the city needed. Sub standard so to speak. It was weird, I was there over Christmas this past year and was astounded by the amount of growth that had happened since I moved to London. Unfortunately the development was new and not improvements to the existing infrastructure. It is a beautiful old city with the original liftlocks contained right in the heart of it, too bad the evolution of the economy is finally catching up with it. Since the flood has reached a disaster status the Red Cross is accepting donations to help with the relief effort. So if you feel like lending a helping hand you know where to go.
On an intellectual note ...
Okay, I consider myself to be a relatively intelligent individual, no Mensa member by any means, but I am no dolt either. But, and I mean but in a Big Way, have you heard about Ken Jennings? This guy hase been on Jeopardy! for 37 days and has accumulate over 1.2 million dollars in winnings!!! This guy is a machine! There is has not even been a contestant that he has faced that has even come close to shaking this guy off his throne. I would be curious to know how much the ratings for Jeopardy have increased since his reign began. He brings a whole new meaning to the term "reality television". This guy totally proves that being a geek pays off.
Well enough blogging for one night. Time to watch the 10 years of Friends show.

A must read article...
So I read a very disturbing article today.
Quite frankly it scared the crap out of me. I found it on the google masters blog . Generally I would just tell you to go check out his site but instead I am going to link to it.
Terror in the Skies, Again? It is a long article but if you fly, and ever fly through Detroit, MI you need to read this.
It is disturbingto me how as a society we do everthing in our power to create equality, across the gender lines , the ethnic and religious lines as well as the sexual lines. However while trying so desperatly to maintain a cushiony layer of equality we implode the thing that we so deperatly want to protect... peace and freedom. Has our own fears of stepping on proverbial politically correct toes made us cowards? Or has it made us wimps? I think actually it is a little of both. We have become so desensitized to the possibility that not all people are created equal that we start to overlook the one think that makes us human.... our differences! After reading this article I am more of a skeptic that I think I was before that... wow that something I never thought would happen!
Oh Canada! I have never been more thankful for the fact that I don't live in Detroit!

It's been tooooooo long...
Sorry about that I have had some major computer issues and blogging has been on the back burner. Work is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8!
Need to let everyone know about this Spidey link, courtesy of DJ Biz! The entertainment value coupled with the thought process makes it worth the view. Enjoy.
I promise to blog more later when the computer is back to it's regular working condition.
