According to some kids away message that I went to college with he has the word CHILLAXIN and he says copyrighted by some of his friends in 2004. Well I don't know about the rest of you but I know that Paul and Jessica (hodown) used that term way back in the day, possibly mid-90's and I have heard it many times since. I'm not even sure Paul and Jessica coined it but for sure they had it before these people. And if Paull and Jessica did coin it, wow congratulations, it has reached Connecticut.

So where is the new thursday hangout? The Pink is definetely done I think but where to meet and drink and mingle? SOrry Teres I would not choose Merlins but we all know that I give in pretty easy so if that is where it was at I would end up there but it definetely is not my first choice. Merlins is definetly always feels like a place you end up and not a place you choose to go if that makes sense.

Maureen...you're grandma dancing is an amazing video. I am so glad after providing entertainment for her through our videos for years now I can enjoy her video.

Happy Birthday Kacey!!! and TK!!! and SQB!!!

Don't forget the Terry/Mike birthday celebration on August 20th. Everyone needs to come and bring everyone they know.

During the thunderstorm last night I seriously thought Kenmore was being bombed. Like I looked out my window to make sure my neighbors houses were still there. Also included in this dream/reality was the Thompson's being attacked by an alien. It was one of those dreams that made me scream and wake up my entire family.

Why are the Golden Girls so great? I seriously laugh for the entire half hour everytime I watch them which is quite often.

Where's the hangout this Thursday, as I heard the Pink is done? And Keith, are me, jill and beast rockin hard with you this Thursday?

That was the slogan on a shirt me and Jill saw in Chinatown in Toronto yesterday. I love bad translations more than anything else in the world!!! We met Yo's boy schlomo (yes that is really what they call him even if the border patrol guard did not believe me). We went to Kosher King which was basically a kosher burger king thus more expensive but still tasty and Yosepha could eat there so that was good because she can never eat out in Buffalo. Then me and Jill went our own way and left them alone and we planned on a wondrous trip to H&M since they still don't have one in Buffalo and we get there and what happens.....THERE IS NO MEN'S DEPT in that one!! How insanely dissapointing that was but then we drove around the city and didn't know waht to do for the four or five hours we had but luckily we just happened across this area where the streets were all closed and it was like street vendors and performers and stuff. It was in Chinatown and Kaiser are I belive it was artsy and then Chinatwony. It was fun despite it raining. I bought a shirt.

I DON"T like seeing hanging dead animals in windows of butcher shops but you get that everywhere in Chinatown. WHy is there always a Little Italy and a Chinatown but not like a Germantown or Little Poland or if it is they are never as well kmnown. Weird. What makes Italians and CHinese so special well besides that I am Italian of course.

Also for some reason in Toronto they don't want you to leavfe and we could not find a way onto the Garden Expressway becuase everywhere said no left turns so it was impossible to get to where we had to get on so eventually we decided to just give ourselves the designation of CIT vehicle and decided to just start turning left wherver we pleased. It worked much better that way. People there also act like they've never seen a UTurn. WHat just cuz I almost plowed down an entire the familyi the rest of the people grab their loved ones and run for their life away from me. no need to be scared, I have yet to hit a person.

If it didn't happen then, when it seemed to have such a chance, then it probably will never happen. But I can deal with that. I can't keep wasting opportunities that come my way though. Gotta stop being scared.

Off to Toronto for a day of debauchery or shopping or both, we'll see. I mean I wouldn't put it past us to kill someone if they were trying to take the last item leftthat was really cheap that we wanted. I'll update when i reenter this land of ours.
