But Over The Hedge Looks Funny!
May 22, 2006
Scratch that last post about the movies. It’s a holiday here in Canada, eh? I’m taking Dylan to see Over the Hedge this afternoon. It’s been an incredibly drunk and/or hungover busy weekend and I can’t wait to sit in the theater and laugh at a kids movie. Kids movies today are so much better than when we were kids. I love that they are laced with enough adult humour to make it fun for the parents.
This past weekend has been a blast. Friday night, Daren and I picked up my brother and his girlie friend and we went to the worst place ever to bowl. It’s one of those places that has pool tables, an arcade and the bowling alley - all well-lit, great food, and waitress who all look like Barbie dolls. Unfortunately, it’s over-priced, especially since we lost our Barbie several times and she brought the guys flat, warm, Rickard’s Red. For one game of pool, 3 girlie drinks, a pitcher of yucky beer, and one game of bowling, we were looking at an $80 bill. The little snot at the counter got all huffy with me as she explained the pricing. “I wouldn’t have a problem with the pricing if you improved your service, and your attitude, young lady.”
Damn I hate bad service.
Saturday Dylan and I headed up to a beachtown to celebrate my friend Nicoles 40th birthday. Her hubby Les had hired a band and we hung in the backyard, drinking beer and laughing. After the band left, the food was ready and holy crap, they had BEAR SAUSAGE! I’ve never tried it, but it was really good. It tastes alot like beef, but with more flavour. There were a few jokes rolling over the yard about big black bear sausage. You know that had to happen.
After dark, the rain sent us inside and we blasted the tunes and sang and danced the night away. Oh and the morning too. I haven’t had that much fun since college parties. We acted like total idiots, and it was great. Nicole and I belted out “Paradise By The Dashboard Light,” twice. I was the girl both times. I did a full rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and everyone was laughing so hard. We have pictures, which I may or may not post in a Flickr account later. I haven’t decided yet, especially after what happened last time. For those who don’t know, some Australian psycho stole my cousin’s pic (from my Flickr account - thinking it was me) and posted it on her blog, along with a bunch of my friends photos, which she had photoshopped into P0rn pics. Nice eh? Some peoples kids.
Anyway, the party. I think we finally turned in around 6 a.m. All I could find in my stupidity was my comforter and hardwood floor and that is where I slept. Ouch.
Yesterday, I hung an I.V. of coffee from the rearview and made the 3 hour trip home, only to pick up my brother and his girlie friend for another night of par-tay! We ended up eating too late in the night so actually want to party, so I subjected my brother and Daren to the Desperate Housewives finale while Mel played on the computer. Ha ha. I am SO the boss around here.
Okay if you’ve read this much, I’ve likely bored the shit outta you. Ah well. Daren has made pancakes so I’m outta here anyway. Have a great Monday! Oh and for all you non-Canadians that are working today:
Hahahahahahahahahaha!

I tried to respond to your grocery store encounter. Won’t let me. But Karen, I have to say I totally can see you going up to the mother and saying what you did. You are such an understanding person. I would have honestly done the same thing. High five sista!
Oh yea…about your weekend…I had the time of my life! Thanks for being part of it!
