Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

Ross sent me to a comic and this one was adjacent to it. “It” was an explanation of how to form an island society. Don’t forget the 1 Mile Diet! And I wish I could write something and have it come true. I guess I should watch that Adam Sandler movie about that subject, but then I’d have to watch Adam Sandler.

And a virtual virus collection is a nifty idea.

And I’m repeating this Calvin and Hobbes comic link because, well, it’s worth looking at nearly anytime.

Went for Bus and Boat tour around city, and saw the islands from the boat. Apparently the city concealed the “clothing optional” beach with weeping willows. One bus the mic didn’t work so they used a megaphone. The guide was at high risk of overhead cable-neck damage.

Went to fringe show called “Big Sexy” with Kelly and Tracy, and had a sub after, similar to lunch. Ate lunch on campus in sci-library cafe which was probably on low gear for the Summer. Got some free Internet time to check the forecast, and hopped on the bus again.

Met CC, Buckets, and some other bloggers and a podcaster after supper. www.godlessradio.ca is the podcast. Bought CC a beer on College St. near the CFI.

Got a free Viva ticket on the way home, woo hoo, and got to bed by 1:00AMish after an evening walk/jog.

Met with bloggers at CBC, went to Jack Astors, waitress drooled over baby and made fun of my “I’m Kind of Big Deal” t-shirt, 3/4 of s knocked things off table onto ourselves, found a lost health card on Queen St. I did some shopping, and stopped at Kelly and Tracy’s office before heading back to Richmond H. to have All Stars wings with cousins. They have wings at that place that you have to sign a waiver for. Watched CSI and then The Mentalist, wrote this, went to bed. Early morning tomorrow to catch the GO!

This is a hoot, even if it’s not a real play.

And on the topic of things that are fake, I would totally see this My Little Pony movie:

And I love this bat trick, I think I’ll teach it to myself as soon as I get a bat. Maybe I’ll need a softer stick to start with.

Then you could spin it around like mad too.

I threw a semi-birthday party for a friend Saturday. It’s much more fun to have a birthday party in June than in December, and he and I aren’t in the same city usually around Christmas so it made more sense to celebrate the semi or half birthday than “real” birthday. Sure, some people thought it was strange, but they were probably just jealous that it wasn’t their semi-birthday too.

It was their unbirthday though. It was my unbirthday too, and I got a cupcake with a candle in it because of it. I won’t be repeating that for all of my unbirthdays. We listened to music videos on YouTube after a fantastic BBQ steak and baked potato meal, and played Beat the Experts. We were hoping to BBQ in the park, but the high winds kept us close to home instead. As it was, I went through an ungodly number of matches.

Earlier in the day I saw “17 Again” [8/10] a mostly funny and entertaining movie about a man who grumbles about making the wrong choice at 17, and ruins his life due to the grumbling and not the choice. He finds himself 17 again suddenly, and has another shot, but is it for himself, or for his family? So mystery and laughs follow.

ADDED: Oh burn! The UDP stays on its rocky road, with an update from the Leader Post that should make business people scratch their heads in bewilderment as to why they’d support a money pit like a nuclear power plant.

And God Tweetethed it, and it was so. Or, some guys and gals made some things, and put them together and stuff, so celebrities can better entertain us.

socialbooknerd: Pretty sure that going through an interview with a name dropper is even more annoying on the second listen.

saskboy @socialbooknerd: I was talking with Peter Mansbridge about that once, and Rick Mercer totally agreed with me. har har

Hat tip to Alec

It is apparently not a joke this time. The king of pop has passed away.

The controversial pop star almost went to jail for alleged molestation of children at his theme park. He was also famous for his health problems. Now he’ll be plastered all over CNN for the next week because he encountered the ultimate health problem: death.

Other than that, he seemed to have his heart in the right place and inspired millions. Weird Al of course was inspired by his music too.

–

Apparently Farrah Fawcett has also passed away from her cancer.

–

I wrote about this in part because Google loves taking random searchers to blogs to read news about people who have died.

–

Theories on Friday that Fawcett’s family is glad to have a “bigger” celebrity die at same time to spare them some of the media spotlight.

Also, MJ has faked his death to make the “comeback tour” an even bigger comeback. Hasn’t been this big for 2000 years.

I think it’s cool that owl vomit is teaching us about the animals around us. Sometimes a good ol’ puking is just what the doctor ordered after consuming something that should not be digested. Owls know that better than most animals.
