Nothing’s Going To Change My World

Well, a happy October to everyone. Weird. Where did September go? What did we even do? Hopefully October has more to show for it than just the mangy looking Blue Jay on my calendar in my office.

The songbirds calendar I had last year featured beautiful, colourful and exotic birds. The calendar for this year is full of shabby birds that I wouldn’t really categorize in the “songbird” category. So I guess the moral of the story is don’t wait until the middle of February to get a calendar for your office.

The weekend while seemly short, seemed to full of some sort of fun. Friday included a three-hour sideshow of Israel. Which despite how boring it sounds was relatively interesting. Although, it is hard to translate trips into photographs.

Saturday was really full of more weirdness than fun. Maybe I am too urban for even my own good, maybe my hatred of the outdoors has tainted my views, but I am not really a fan of the bonfire/campfire…fire of any kind. And I am really against any sort of furniture burning. Someone please explain the fun of burning an old couch. And the fun of toxic black and green smoke that comes from that fire.

Sunday, as always, one of my favourite days of the week. Thanks to a wonderful Mix and Mingle (Really, it was a great idea. Kudos.) for the invention of the word sog. And to Team Adventure for our triumphant Cranium victory over Team Awesome. (Really, I am not competitive. When young athletes compete, there are no losers.)

More of these:

What’s the most embarrassing song you’ve done Karaoke to?
I don’t really get up there to sing very often, at least not a solo. Jenny and I kicked out some awesome duets during a rousing game of Karaoke Revolution. And Ashley Smith and I sang a spirited rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody during our first Karaoke experience.

What song best describes you?
Short Skirt, Long Jacket—Cake

What makes you homesick?
I get homesick at the drop of a hat. It was somewhat cute and tolerable as a small child. Kinda lame and pathetic as an adult. But why would I ever want to be far away from you?

People think I am…
Pretty awesome. And I tend to agree.

What is the worst show on television?
I don’t know about the worst show on television, but I am not a fan of Deal or No Deal. To be honest, I don’t really get how it is fun to watch. You don’t have to be overly smart, or talented to win. In fact, you don’t even really have to speak English. It just doesn’t seem that challenging. Plus all the “Let’s see what is case number 18….right after this commercial.” Stop. That’s just lame.

In 20 years, I will be….
46! Scary thought. But hopefully by that time, I will look like someone who is 26.

Here’s to:

Brent and Jen. I don’t think we would have had turkey this weekend if it hadn’t been for you. Just stop trying to pepper my potatoes. See you next Monday.

Enjoying your house almost as much as you all do. Thanks for being excellent hosts.

A short day today, and hopefully a quick week to one of my favourite long weekends.

Doing not bad with what I’ve got.
Now, if only I could get a haircut.

Good Luck. God Speed.
I will miss you when you are gone.
