We are going to Cleveland tomorrow... we were trying to think of somewhere neither myself or (e:Uncutsaniflush) had been before that wasn't too far of a drive. Cleveland won. I wonder if Devo is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? We read they have a nice zoo there, too, but that the art gallery we wanted to go to is closed for renos. Oh well. Maybe next time?

Heard from 2 good friends today. Our friend Chris will be able to visit with us when we head on down to Knoxville later this month! Yay! Last time was last minute and we didn't have as much of a chance as we all would have liked. I think he missed some cherished morning sleep to meet us for breakfast. Ah, true friendship! When talking to (e:Uncutsaniflush), Chris mentioned something interesting. Since he comes here to read our journals, he has an idea of what is going on in our lives and is less likely to contact us... But, damnit, he doesn't have a journal or a blog! Maybe we need to set one up for him so we know what is going on in his life?

I also heard from my friend Mark. Mark met a girl online that, at this early stage, he is conisdering marrying so she can go and live with him in Toronto. Wow. Now, most people might not think that would be that big a deal. But Mark was married once upon a time. And not really because he wanted to get married, he was just young and foolish and he thought his jealous girlfriend would be more secure if they were married. It ended badly. Back in the late '80's. Since, he has had a total of 1 serious relationship, and not really all that serious, even though they lived together. Now, a girl from Montana somewhere... He is a wonderful person and i love him dearly and i want him to be happy. I just do not want to see him get hurt. I told him to at least meet her once beforehand...

(E:Uncutsaniflush) and i met the one time before deciding to get married. And it's almost been 4 years. Wow.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Shortly, we will be off to Hamilton to see my 'rents. (E:Uncutsaniflush) expects to see the Hamilton TIgerCats loose with my father tonight, while my mom and i go off shopping.

Sunday, we have plans to see the Corpse Bride with (E:Ladycroft) and perhaps (e:Matthew) (i emailed you with my cell number if you need or want to reach me) for the matinee. We're leaning towards the 3pm show at the Regal theatres up on Elmwood... So, if anyone else cares to join, let me know!

Well, time for me to go pack!

We saw it again. At Walmart instead of Target.



And for (e:Paul), here's the plate... confirmation this person doesn't live on Elmwood. Or, if they do, they are new...



Sorry, (e:Theecarey), did not see the person that owned this car... would be an interesting chat if we did....

I've been in the mood to take some snaps lately. (E:Uncutsaniflush) said today that it is (e:Paul)'s fault. I reckon that means we all know i took the pictures specifically to post on my journal. I am soooo transparent!!

Chopsticks

I found the typos and translation of this interesting.



CD's

We've been looking for media storage since we moved into this house and finally we found something that will do. It's not perfect, since we we hoping for something made of real wood...

This is before, and although it's a bit dark and blurry, it's kinda obvious why we need more storage, eh?



(E:Uncutsaniflush) spent quite sometime putting the new one together.

Here is a during pic of some of the bits and parts.



And, ah, the glorious after. I spent hours putting everything on the shelves. Today, we hung our "egg picture" above it, too.



Weird Car

We went to Target today, in search of the perfect coat hooks for our back hallway. No luck with those, but i am glad we went. Saw the most interesting car parked in the lot.

Yes folks, you are seeing this correctly... those are plastic... uhmm... things glued to it.



Close up of the side.



Close up of the hood.



Close up of lady liberty herself!



And here is one of the side by the back. WIth a slightly grumpy looking (e:Uncutsaniflush) seen in the window. Good thing he was wearing his Grumpy shirt, eh?

go see the film Corpse Bride with me?

I wore my much desired (several people have told me they know someone who would "kill" for it) Jack Skellington tank top from Torid the night of (e:Ladycroft)'s infamous birthday bash. (E:Matthew) and i got talking and we talked about going to see Corpse Bride once it comes out.

(E:Metalpeter) reminded me that it is now! You still want to go see it, (e:Matthew)? Anyone else game for a night or afternoon at the movies to see what i hope to be a cool Tim Burton film? Not sure when, i am open and flexible on the schedule.. Except this Friday. We have plans with my 'rents. (E:Uncutsaniflush) and my dad are going to see the Hamilton TigerCats play at Ivor Wynne Stadium while my mom and i... oh, i don't know, hang out, shop.

If anyone is interested, let me know.
