Officially the greatest site of all time!

Better than that Vin Diesel one? Mayhaps.

Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World!

This the official blog for a cookbook that my friend Kat was a "cupcake tester" for.

Doing the math...

I've gone through 3 solid weeks of BSG, following up with one night of OC.

How does THAT make any sense?

BTW: BSG = greatest show of all time! OC? not so much.... yet I can't look away.

Pancakes

For those unfamiliar: Shrove Tuesday

And for the shameful record, I was referring to Pancakes from The O.C.,
but found Oolong instead! (1994 - 2003)

King Chucker = MVP

I don't know what it is but I tend to get all sports-orientated when my brother is around. Actually, I do know what is it - my brother is around. In any case, he was in town on business (covering university hockey and yes, Lakehead Thunderwolves advanced beating York University) and he came over Sunday night to watch the NBA All-Star game which took place in Las Vegas this year.

Where am I going with this? Well to honour my sports-writer brother, here's my editorial on the game... from a not-so-sports-writer perspective:

I like games where the score is close and this one had potential, until it became evident that neither team practiced, however, one did want it more (I am, of course speaking about the Western Conference that won by almost 20 I believe). As much fun as the All-Star weekend is (I'm kicking myself for missing the dunk competition), it lacks that competitive nature that makes gameplay so exciting. That is, of course, until it gets to 4th quarter and player(s) were vying for the MVP spot [cough cough Kobe Bryant]. That boy quickly became an aggressive King Chucker.

Courtside comments by miVi:

• Hey Kobe, it's called a team... look in it.


• If you mention Tony Parker and Eva Longoria's wedding one more time, I'm throwing my slippers at the television.


• Way to go CB4 on scoring a respectable 10 pts.


• I [heart] Tim Duncan.


• Iverson's not playing. I hardly call this an All-Star game.


• I miss playing basketball.


• Toni Braxton looks like a drag queen.


• Wayne Newton looks like a Ken doll... after you've put its face over a gas stove.

Christopher Thinn's faux pas

Allow me to set the stage:

Darko was giving me travel tips in the office (in June, I will be visiting Amsterdam and Paris). Having overheard this conversation, Chris jumped on MSN to send me this:

The punchline? This screen grab was forwarded to me from Darko :)

Happy Friday!

"Michelle"

While on UrbanDictionary.com finding a link to the word "splooge" for my previous post, I decided to type in my name:

1. michelle

Hebrew meaning "like God"... Michelle's are often Leos, astonishingly gorgeous, very athletic, dark hair and usually curly/waivy/thick
another thing is that almost all Michelle's have similar noses.
guy#1. "man that girl was hot and good in bed"
guy#2. "must've been named Michelle"
guy#1. "how'd you know?"
guy#2. "..."


2. michelle

1. A disgustingly conceited man who pretends to be a woman. If indeed a woman usually attracted to the same sex.
2. usually associated with the words: gross, disgusting, and fat.
3. a person with uncontrollable eating habits.
4. also other name for throwing up while having sex.

1. "Michelle" is in love with her best friends.
2. Ewwwwwww that is so "michelle".
3. "Michelle" couldn't stop eating and she broke the chair.
4. It was sooo good until a "michelle" happened.

Either I'm a hot girl with a distinguished nose who is good in bed or I'm a fat, putrid lesbian (possibly a man) who generally doesn't deserve to live.

PS: I'm not a Leo

Googe

It was just pointed out to me by my lovely co-worker Ryan O'Brien that in an attempt to Valentinize the Google main page, they've given us a word that rhymes very much to "Splooge"

Could be the stem is meant to be the "l". To that I say, nice try Googe!

Conversation With the Room Mate

Her: "Battlestar Galactica"?
me: Nope, "Firefly".
Her: Meh, same thing.
me: [gasp]

An Open Letter

Dear Filthy Hippie with Bongo Drum on Streetcar,

Go jump off a boat.

Sincerely,

That's what I 'said'

I realized that I enjoy using "said" to refer to a previously mentioned item in conversations or emails. Here is a collection of said emails:

------------------------------------------

Hope Fashion Week is rocking for the both of you. Just a note that I need some blog material for our site this morning - doesn't have to be epic. According to IT we also experienced some Internet problems last night so the outside world (ie: Blackberrys) was cut off so if you were trying to send something, everything was unavailable

Christopher, Claudia mentioned to me that you were trying to send photos via FTP but were going to try email - I have not received them probably due to said Internet problems

Thanks guys! I know it's probably a hectic week over there but if you can send me something soon… that'd be great!

-----------------------------------------

It requires a unique login and network password (if you work at CHUM, it would be your email address and network password). If it's someone who does not work at CHUM, they'd need to set up their own account to pick something up. So long story longer - if I send a file (any blank file) to whoever will be uploading, in order for them to pick up said file, they will be prompted to set up their account. I just have to initiate the exchange so to speak.

From others:
If you are in need of any office supplies (be it pens, binders, paperclips, or even the occasional sedative) please send me an email letting me know what you need, how much and, if need be, colour and/or size. If you do not send me an email but rather drop by my desk to relay said info…said item will not be ordered. Why? Because chaos and I do not get along but the paper trail is my best friend. -- Emma

kat - fry me a liver says:

i've got WORK to do -- Kat
