Costco Rules!!!

That's right. I said it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Today I was super bored, and I went to Costco to buy some yoga pants for lounging purposes (yeah right, like I'd actually do yoga). I also bought a bag of Peanut M&M's that weighs about 2.5lbs for $7.00. I know. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be diabetic by weeks end. But who can resist a bag of candy that size for that crazy price? certainly not I.

BEST.PRODUCT.EVER!

I've always been fascinated by the Chia Pet, and I've always wanted one. Let me assure you, they are not the easiest items to find in stores. Apparently the Chia Pet is quite popular. I went to the Chia website today, and found that you can get a Homer Simpson chia, a Bart Simpson chia, a Shaggy Chia, the Chia Professor, The Chia Dude, The Chia Herb Garden, and a vast selection of Chia animals such as the Chia Hippo, the Chia Cow, and the Chia Alligator. Then, I saw that in honor of Barack Obama becoming the 44th President, they've introduced 2 special limited edition Obama Chias! It has the Best.Tagline.Ever! Can you grow one? Yes you can! hehhehehe. Funny. So yeah, I think I'm going to pre-order one on Amazon.ca. No stock is expected until March, but I'm pretty sure its up there with the Sham-Wow in terms of Must Have-ness. Did you know that the company that makes the Chia Pet also makes The Clapper? did you know they still make The Clapper?

Does This Look Like President Obama?

Yay! gone is the era of George Bush! No more Freedom Fries, no more fear mongering, and no more of that dumb hick destroying the world. So in honor of the fact that Bush has left office, and Barack Obama moved in, I thought I'd take to the interwebs to see what kind of crazy commemorative merchandise is being made. There is SO MUCH stuff. Buttons, t-shirts, stickers, coins, commemorative plates, bobble heads, and of course...the mighty mighty action figure. Then I found this. Its the Obama doll. I'm not so sure it really looks like Obama though. Am I alone in thinking this looks a bit more like Today Show weatherman Al Roker?

I'm Officially Off The Cigarettes!

I just made it through my first COMPLETELY smoke free day. That's right folks.. I'm officially 100% off the pot, and the cigarettes. Going through my first smoke free day wasn't too terrible. Although I do want a cigarette pretty bad right now. I just hope I don't end up like the chick in the commercial. I can see it happening.

I Think I'm A Bit Confused

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but do the Amish people not shun electricity and technology? now knowing this, would you really want to purchase an ELECTRIC fire place supposedly built by the Amish? Call me crazy, but I wouldn't think that they'd be all that great at constructing something that runs on electricity. Have The SImpsons taught us nothing? do we not remember what happened when Homer had the Amish folk build Bart's tree house, only to have the electrical fail and the whole tree house go up in flames? just asking.

Trefor's Secret Identity

In between responding to the seemingly never ending avalanche of hate mail we receive daily at work, I was emailing Trefor. While discussing the lunches we'd be eating today, Trefor said he'd be having some sort of pasta dish (I think), and it sounded WAAAY better than my stupid ham and cheese sandwich. I asked if Trefor cooked the yummy lunch and he said he did. Then he divulged that he's actually Betty Crocker. THE Betty Crocker. I have to admit that I found his claim highly suspect as most people know that like Santa, there is no Betty Crocker. Although, after extensive research, I did find that if you email Betty, she will write you back. Or someone who may or may not be Trefor will write you back. Either way...its odd.

I Just Ordered From Sephora!

Sephora is like mecca for me. Every time I go to the US for shopping or vacation purposes, I absolutely HAVE to go to Sephora. They finally put one in Edmonton, and then I moved to Vancouver. So disappointing. Although, I am told that we are going to be getting one here in Vancouver down on Robson. One can only dream. Anyways, I'm kind of obsessed with this reality show called Blow Out. Its about Jonathan Antin who is a pretty famous hair stylist in LA, and the first season of the show follows him as he opens a second salon in Beverly Hills, and the second season is all about him launching his Jonathan line of hair care products. Me being the sucker for hair care and other such products that I am, of course freaked out when I saw them on the Sephora website. It also doesn't hurt that I consider him to be a sexy beast. So, I just spent $24.57 on some Philosophy Purity Made Simple facial cleanser. I work for Lush, but I'm sorry to say, I'm not impressed with their facial cleansers, and $32.50 for 5.1oz of Jonathan No-Frizz Hydrating Balm. It got good reviews on the Sephora website, and God knows that I need something to help my hair stay awesome and straight in this GD humidity here in Vancouver. So, here's hoping its a worth while $32.50. If not, I may be inclined to write Jonathan Antin a strongly worded letter.

Best.App.Ever

I'm not a big fan of Lil' Wayne or his music, but I am certainly a big fan of his app for the iPod Touch, and the iPhone. It lets you take pics of just about anything, and as I like to say, "Lil' Wayne-ify" them. I've probably been having more fun with this than one person should. You can add his "Bling" (God I hate that word), his sunglasses, his hair and baseball caps and even his tatoos to pics of friends and family. This is just a small sampling of my work.

I Did It Again...

I was making some delicious pasta salad for dinner tonight. In the process of cutting cheese into cubes, I sliced into my thumb. It was not pretty. It made me think of the time I sliced off the tip of my finger with one of those Starfrit veggie slicers. Also...not pretty. I was also reminded of this classic clip from the movie UHF. I think its fitting.

Worst.Remake.Ever.

Prom Night is on Movie Central right now. I saw that movie in the theatre, and thought it sucked. Today I saw it was on tv and thought I'd give it another try. Guess what? It still sucks. That is all.

Thank God For Super Cool iPod Apps!!

Seriously, I just downloaded an iBlog app that allows me to post directly from my snazzy iPod Touch. I also managed to find an app that allows me to Lil Wayne-ify pics of my friends and loved ones, and an app that does nothing but play Mr. T quotes. Simply stunning.

NPH on SNL

OMG. N.P.H was the host of SNL this weekend, and I have to say. He totally killed it. His monolog kicked ass, and this digital short was awesome. N.P.H forever!

Because I Wasn't Already Completely Obsessed With The Sham-Wow, They Had To Go And Make This...

That's right folks...Sham-Wow Vince is back. This time its with the Slap Chop. I have to admit that I'm a sucker for useless kitchen gadgets as well as bad infomercials. Here, I get the best of both worlds. Just watch..I promise you'll want one. And for only $19.95! What incredible value! Also, if you click on the title of this post, you'll be taken to the Official Slap Chop website. You can watch the extended infomercial there. God I love useless products.

And Just Because I Found It...

And the shot of the scooters at the Grand Canyon makes me laugh, I thought I'd post this gem.

I Think I Need This...

Yesterday morning, I was SO sleepy, so when I got up at the crack of dawn to go to work, I decided I'd use my Up You Gets Emotibomb because its all citrusy and would help wake me up a bit. In case you are wondering an Emotibomb is like a Bath Bomb, but for your shower. You put it on the floor of your shower, and as it dissolves, it releases some pretty intense aroma therapy. So I used the Emotibomb, and I guess it made the shower floor a bit slippery, because, I went to grab my body wash, and before I knew it, I was falling. In the shower. And it hurt. Bad. So after the initial shock of actually falling in the shower well before my senior years wore off, I dried off, and very carefully got out of the tub and slunk off to my room hoping that my sister didn't hear the horrifying thud I made as I hit the floor of the tub. So, today, I'm left with a gross purple bruise about the size of an apple on the right side of me bum, and some super awesome bruising on my right elbow and my right knee. I can't help but think I should sue Lush for this, but seeing as how I work for them, it might not be the best course of action. So instead, maybe I'll just get Lifecall. It seems to work for the dude having chest pains, and the lady on the floor of the bathroom who can't get up. Do they even make this anymore? do you think its like the Brinks Home Security Monitoring Centre? they just have dudes sitting around in uniform waiting for old ladies to let you know they've fallen?

Completely F**k WalMart

So, after T-Bone and I got back from Vegas, I decided that I needed to enlarge some pics from the NIN concert as well as some cool pics of Vegas sights. So foolishly, I uploaded the pics to the Wal-Mart photolab here in Burnaby, and Really, I guess I should know better because its fucking Wal Mart, but I've dealt with the photolab for my enlargements back in Edmonton, and had super awesome service. The pics were always good quality, and I could go and pick them up about an hour or so after the initial files were uploaded to their site. So, when I uploaded the pics to the Burnaby site, I was told it would be 5-7 business days. Fine, that's cool, it was close to Christmas, I could deal with that. So, 5-7 business days, comes....and then goes. About 12 business days AFTER the initial 5-7 day wait, I call and ask what the deal is with my order. They check, and its only 40% done. So yesterday, I FINALLY get the call that my prints are done. Praise Jebus! So I go in after work tonight, and I pick up my prints, after about a bajillion years of waiting, and I get them, and THEY WERE ROLLED UP! do you know what a fucking pain in the ass it is to try to properly centre a print in a frame if it won't lay flat?! WTF?! at least at the Edmonton locations, aside from the uber fast service, they gave you the prints in a FLAT envelope for easy framing. Regardless to say, I'm pretty choked at this whole experience, and my displeasure, nay, disgust will be voiced in a strongly worded email to their customer service department. I am NOT pleased. As such, completely fuck Wal Mart. Not cool. Not at all. BOOOOOOOOOO Wal Mart.

What Will They Make Next?

If you know me, you know of my fondness for the Golden Girls. Turns out some other freakshow loves the Golden Girls more than I do because they made Golden Girls dolls. This site actually makes many dolls. Each of which look creepier than shit. But seriously, if I had hundreds of dollars to waste, I'd so get the whole set. I could play for hours making Rose say stupid things, then I could make Sophia interrupt her and call her an idiot and then I could make her turn around and call Blanche a slut, then I could make Dorothy say "Shady Pines Ma!! Shady Pines!". Actually, maybe I shouldn't start saving for my Golden Girls dolls just yet. I think I might actually have a bit TOO much fun playing with them. But seriously, I think a Dorothy Zbornak doll just might make my life. OMG...the only thing worse might be if someone made a Trent Reznor doll. Sweet Jesus, we'd really be in trouble then. Have a look at the site, and the many many other creepy dolls they make. I promise after you look at the Nicole Kidman/ Moulin Rouge doll you won't sleep for a week. For reals. http://www.newbreen.com/celebritydolls.html

How Embarrassing..

I feel bad for this dude. I really do. But on the other hand, I can't say that I wouldn't have been laughing my ass off at this. It seems this poor bastard was on a ski lift, and something went wrong, and he ended up dangling from the chair lift by his ski boot, and his pants and gonch came down and literally left him hanging out in the wind. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to end up stuck on a ski lift like that and then to have your junk hanging out for all to see? Thank GOD people have no decency and were there to start snapping photos and post them on the interweb. Check out the video of the whole debacle below.
