The UN-real Michael Jackson

The UN-real Michael Jackson. Check it out. It's funny.

I'm tired

So here is a link about yawning.

Good night, everyone.

And another thing

We also rented the movie "Everything Is Illuminated". We chose it purely based on the cover. That's right, we judged a DVD from it's cover. This time, we judged right. If you're ever looking for a movie to rent, I would suggest this one.

Another day, another post

Well, the weekend is almost over, and tomorrow is back to work. It's been quite a nice weekend all in all. Saturday, we went to the car show with my mom, Jason, and Christine, and then we all had lunch together at the Elephant & Castle. At the car show, Jay and Chris had their picture taken with Jacob. For your viewing pleasure, I have uploaded it here. There were lots and lots of nice cars, but we didn't decide on one. I don't think I'm really in the car buying mood...

Today (Sunday), we put Jacob's car seat in Steve's car, and we all piled in and set off for the sugar bush. Jacob was a bit apprehensive at the time, but he was talking about it for the rest of the day. He especially liked the old horse named Blue who was moon blind. Attached to the sugar bush is a cabin where you can have an all you can eat pancake breakfast that includes pancakes, eggs, sausage (if you're into that sort of thing), coffee, juice, and of course maple syrup from the sugar bush. The food is made by The Lonestar, so it was good.

Later on this afternoon, we went and bought Jacob a few pairs of shoes for the spring. He was so impressed by the first pair of shoes he tried on that he cried when I suggested that he try another pair. So, since he loved them so much, we decided to get them. You'll be able to see him coming a mile away because of the giant NIKE written across the top; this definitely would not have been my choice in shoe. I must admit that he's very good at taking them on and of, though. We also got another pair for him that are a bit larger, but they're very nice, they will fit in a few months. Or maybe more.

Well that was the weekend. Tomorrow is the beginning of a brand new week. Enjoy everybody!

PS: I finally got the spell checker to work. I had cookies blocked.

Happy Saturday

Happy Saturday, everyone.

To keep up with my daily posts, here is a wonderful picture of a firefox... my guess is that it's probably PhotoShopped.

Have a nice evening, everyone!

The answer

Here's the answer to a question that Katherine just asked me. I'm posting it in an effort to keep up with my daily posts. I seem to be doing okay, really.

Question: What two mammals lay eggs?
Answer (from Yahoo! Answers):

Well, we knew one at least -- we remember learning in school about that odd creature called the platypus (no, it's not a "platymapus"). But we set out to see if there were any more. As it turns out, there are two other egg-laying mammals: the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijnii).

Also known as spiny anteaters, these prickly creatures are native to Australia and New Guinea. After mating, the female echidna lays a single egg in a small pouch on her body. The egg hatches after about 10 days, and the young echidna remains in the pouch for about 2-3 months before mom kicks it out (those spikes get painful).

The platypus and the echidna are the only living examples of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. Although mammalian in most respects, adult monotremes are toothless and share some similarities with birds or reptiles in some aspects of their anatomy. It's believed that mammals evolved from reptiles, and monotremes represent an early offshoot of mammals, retaining some of the characteristics of their reptilian ancestors.

On another note, tomorrow we're going to the car show with my mom. She got some free tickets from her work. Jacob should love it.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Did I ever tell you...

...that I have a camera built into the frame of my laptop? Well, I do. And only a few seconds ago, in very poor light, I took a picture of myself making a funny face. How do you like that?

Anyways, not much has happened since yesterday (one of the perils of posting every day!). Last night, Katherine and I went to Bayshore, and she bought a skirt that she'd been wanting for a while (about two days, really), and I got a pair of pants, some cheap underwear, and some socks.

Jason was telling me about someone he works with that traded in his 2000 Kia for $5000. It kina got me thinking that I might want to trade in my Kia sometime soon. I've got a 2003, but once the warranty runs out at 100,000KM's it won't be worth very much -- even for a trade in. Hey, maybe by tomorrow, I'll be posting about going car shopping over the weekend.

Actually, this weekend we're going to see my mom (who we didn't see last weekend because she was working). We'll also be going to the sugar bush on Sunday for a pancake breakfast with Janet and Steve. Woo hoo! Let's hope the weather stays nice for the entire weekend.

Well, until tomorrow (maybe!).

ps: I still can't ge the spell cheker to work. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I downloaded the Internet Explorer 7 beta.

Whoa! Two for two

That's right. Two days in a row, and I’m posting to my blog! I’m not sure why, but I've been so busy at work, that I haven’t really had much interest in computers once I'm not at work. For example, I haven't looked at Celebdaq in weeks.

Anyways... Jacob is getting ready for bed, and I'm typing here. Once he's asleep, Katherine and I are going to go to the mall to buy her a skirt, and a pair of pants for me(living with the in-laws has its advantages!).

Wow, this is a boring post... but at least it's a post. Type to you tomorrow.

Link of the day: Gadsby. A story of 50,000 words -- without using the letter E.

PS: the spell checker is not working, so I apologize in advance...

It's been a long time

Wow! It's been a long time since I've posted to this blog. I am not raly sure why, though. I think I've been too busy with life (And American Idol).

Tonight we went to Jay and Chris' house for dinner. Our first bbq of the season to celibrate spring. We also booked a camp site at Sharbot late for August. Cool.

Well, I am going to try to post a lot more often again, and fall into a regular pattern of posting on a semi-daily basis.

Cow curling

For now, here's a fun link...

Woo-hoo!

Here I am sitting in my living room waiting for The Office to come on TV. What? Sitting in my living room? How can I be doing that? Well, I now have wireless internet -- on an amazing Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi. Dual core, 2 gigs of ram, and an ATI radeon x1600 video card, built in camera. IN short -- awesome. Now maybe I won't have to go in to work at 3:00 so often anymore. At least, I hope so...
