Weekend Recap!

Look guys look!!! A NEW BLOG POST! YAY there wasn't a 2 month gap! SO it's Monday and feeling very mondayee. That's probably why I just downed a small bag of chips, and have one waiting in the wings. I read somewhere once, that when you're a little blue, that's when you crave a salty treats, figures I packed a kiwi with my lunch :P. It's a very Mondayee day, BUT I had a pretty good weekend, which contributes to the Monday Blues. Today is actually my friend's Birthday, Happy Birthday Josh! So on Saturday we went to our friend Amanda's house (Josh's GF) BTW Epic round of applause for Amanda she made the cake, AND had never made boiled frosting before and did it successfully...I think...I'd never had it before Saturday. Gotta tell you a little story, for my Fiance's birthday Amanda and Josh made him a t-shirt, so we stuck with the theme and made Josh one for his Birthday, have a look at both of the shirts at the top! So we stayed there for a bit BUT Saturday night was also my FIRST TIME going to Canterbury lounge. It was pretty Epic! I was the Robin to Dj Fire's Batman, and we had a LOT of fun. Jay also popped in on us so that was Tres awesome, he was playing the role of my big brother checkin up on me at my first live to air :). So going into it I was telling everyone to be there and man, you want to be there! REALLY nice club man, and this is coming from a girl who's first experiences with bars were the ones in Halifax...YEAH THAT nice! SO if you didn't get out there for any of the live to airs yet, DO IT! BUT do it early! I guess they're hitting capacity every Saturday! I believe it, it was pretty packed, and pretty awesome, make sure you get down some time soon, so much fun man! My Sunday was uneventful, but Saturday made up for it being jam packed :). I'd say this is a good length blog, more to come soon :)

EPIC FAIL!

Wow okay so I've been really bad for blogging and what's worse, procrastinating my return to it. Yeeeeaaah messed up logic. What kind of sucks is now I have to try and get you up to speed on what's new in my insane world. Summer has come and yeah gone, I'm reporting a risk of frost...Had a GREAT one though. Great camping trips with friends and co-workers, bon fires with some of my fave people in SJ, and just all around fun. Still looking at my tent sitting in my hallway (I was camping last weekend) So I suppose it's time to pack it all away in the closet for another year, the final hoorah camping trip has past. One of my awesome friends is celebrating a b-day next week so we're doing a little celebrating this weekend. ALSO I'll be doing my first Live to Air at Canterbury lounge, if you're able come hang out, would love to see you. I plan on doing canning for the first time ever this weekend! Pickles are my fave food on the planet so it seems right. Anyway really should be getting ready for tonight's countdown!

Internet Dangers

Okay so typically my blog is not overly serious, but I have an important topic today. You know how everyone talks about the dangers of online predators for kids? Well adults don't think for a second they're not there for you too. I have my facebook set up specifically for work, and just add everyone because I figure they're a listener. Well for those of you who have me on FB, you may have seen what was going on on my wall. I had a guy, I never met who was aggressively making advances towards me. I didn't want to be rude and tell him to step off, basically because I didn't want listeners to get the idea I'm a huge B!T@#, but it got to a point I had to tell him to back off. I started out nice, but as he ignored my rejections I had to get progressively less friendly. It was to the point he was asking me what would happen to his feelings when I got married, and he told me he was in love with me (never met this guy in my life). I got to the point that I blocked and deleted him from my FB (only person on my block list EVER). So for those of you who think that that would end the issue, well you're wrong. It would seem he has more than one account and is still on my friends list (a different name, similar pics, and he speaks the same way).NOT to mention he had a mutual friend on this account try and add me today (I would assume it's another of his, because again, similar pics). I don't want to delete a listener, that's the only reason this new guy isn't gone yet. I'm sharing this because if you see claws come out on my fb, I feel threatened by this person, and I also want to pass along this lesson to others. When you're online, be careful.

Productivity is up!

Weird title but true story. I've come to discover I am far more productive on weekdays. Weekends I want to do nothing! I REALLY have to push myself. I had a pretty big to do list this weekend as far as house cleaning and such went...didn't get it all done, but you know when I did like 50% of it? THIS MORNING! I accomplished more in the two and a half hours I allotted myself this morning than the 48 I had all weekend. I did one REALLY big job this weekend though. Trimming, bathing and nail clipping my guinea pigs. Sounds like it would be a quick job right? NOPE 4 hours! I have long haired pigs who HATE getting their hair cut, One likes baths, the other doesn't but I have to blow dry them too, and neither of them like nail trims. PS the shake like a dog when they're wet, so I wear old clothes when I bathe them. I did that and unpacked my PS2! YES PS2, IN YOUR FACE XBOX! Today though ON FREAKIN FIRE! I guess I'm in a routine during the week that allows me to be more productive, Weekend I'm all whatev! Hooray for productivity! Now, let me get back to work!

Dear Xbox....

YOU SUCK! Okay I get it, you are one of the "big game consols" right now and you have all the new games.BUT there are a couple gripes I have with you! For starters, WHO makes a game system that BIG? Original nintendo was smaller. I heard there is a new version out, You're noisy! If I accidentally turn you on, I can't hear anything else in the room! I have a high tolerance, I grew up in a house of gamers, but Xbox, you're lame. What is the deal with different sized hard drives? And finally, Xbox the red rings of death? REALLY? Instead of giving it a name, FIX THE DAMN PROBLEM!

If you couldn't tell, the red rings came for a visit to my house today. I would seriously Boycott the problem where the Xbox mine. It's a lot of money to shell out for a product that lasted only 2 years. I purchased it, so yeah I know. Xbox, I strongly dislike you. I have to watch my other half suffer now, until I have the misfortune of you darkening my doorstep again!

My View on the View

Okay here come my claws. I NEVER watch the View. I used to catch it from time to time BUT I can't STAND Elisabeth Hassleback. For me the breaking point was when she drove Rosie off the show. I saw some of the horrific verbal attacks on Rosie, and considering what her job is, there is just no need for those jabs. I think it's okay to disagree with some one, it's okay to passionately disagree with some one, but personal attacks are not cool period, especially to a co-worker.

One thing I really wish Rosie had done was stand her ground (I'm stubborn so odds are I would still be there). I look at it from the animal kingdom point of view, backing down Rosie just let Elisabeth be the alpha dog. Rosie had her own show at one point remember? She came with a level of professionalism in that environment. Elisabeth came from Survivor...reality TV...need I say more?


I know I'm talking about old news, but I am getting to my point, I promise. I don't typically watch the show, because that situation has left a bad taste in my mouth and while the show used to be about the point of view that a few different woman took on a certain topic, now it seems to be the other woman try and summarize what it is they want to say because Elisabeth will be belting out her opinion until the next commercial break.

I spotted a clip online today of the show and well she lived true to what she typically does. She FREAKED on the comments that Kathy Griffin made about some American Politician's daughters being prostitutes (sorry, not up that much on American Politics, doesn't really concern me too much). Elisabeth SCREAMED over the other women when they tried to talk. Do I agree with Kathy? I really can't have an opinion, I don't know who this guy or his kids are. Kathy said it on HER show though, and Whoopie was right when she said that as a comedian they push it some times, and yeah Kathy PUSHES it. Elisabeth kept saying how Kathy was likely loving the attention. Uh yeah, so if you dislike her enough to call her "scum" why are you giving her the attention, and press? Anyway I suppose that's my rant on the state of the view these days, maybe I'll watch again in another 5 years.

Back From Vacay!

Yup I'm back, you've been warned. Only one coffee into me at this point, promise to have another before show time :). Regardless of the on air banter I want to give a HUGE thanks to Mariel for taking care of my show while I was gone. She made it soooo easy for me to slip back into my routine, I didn't have to take care of any messes as I walked in the door :D. Mare Bear (everyone feel free to start calling her this), glad we're working together again...well actually I can count on one hand how many times we've been together, but we're playing for the same team again :P. Kind of disappointing, I had an awesome pic of the two of us to insert here and it's not working :P.

What did I do on Vacation? A LOT of unpacking, and organizing, also on my personal blog (link possibly coming soon). I went back to NS and got my engagement pics done for those of you who saw on FB. I had a couple coffee stops with my dad, who btw is one of my fave people ever. Got to hang out with my Uncle who is just like a possum...awesome! My brother and his lady (My Maid of Honor) were up the fist couple days which was great, And My grandmother sent me home with as much food as she could convince me to take, and of course stuffed me full when I was there, We had corned beef and cabbage, oh yeah half of my family are Newfs...that makes it easier to understand.

I am back and ready to hit the air on K100...won't get to for another bit, but it's comin! Missed you peoples! I know I'll get a warm welcome back (because you've done it already, even when I'm sick for one day :P)
