Indy's antics

On our walks, besides having trouble learning that car tires are an inappropriate place to pee, Indy gets distracted by other dogs. The other day when I was walking him, he got all worked up when someone was walking their dog going the other way on our street. He pounced and jumped at him as we passed, and even resorted to walking backwards to see it. He was so preoccupied he didn't see the parked car...*WHAM* He broadsided it. His whole body made full contact with the bumper. And then he jumped back like "where did that come from?"

Near accident

I was going over the Coast Meridian Overpass last week, when I tried to change lanes. I checked all my mirrors, and glanced over my shoulder as I started to merge over. There was a car in my blind spot. I had to swerve back into my lane to avoid an accident. An accident that would have been 100% my fault. I felt somewhat grounded after making this obvious error. Of all the mistakes and near accidents I've witnessed since driving, that frustrate me to no end, and actually I can make an honest mistake too. Btw, sorry older lady in the blue car, but congrats, you give a wicked dirty look.

Making a veggie plate

While I was making a veggie plate last night, I laughed to myself when I realized how many mushrooms I cut compared to the rest because they're one of my favourites. I started to think of my family members, if they were making a veggie plate, what it would look like.
Dad: It wouldn't have any dip, "that shits fattening!"

Serena: a bunch of veggies I've never heard of, and couldn't pronounce or spell to save my life.

Janine: store bought

Aleisha: cucumber heavy

Greg: hates veggies, he'd cut up meat bits

Brian: would probably end up cutting off one of his fingers because he was trying to catch the game from the kitchen as he cut his veggies

New Timmies cups

If you've visited Tim Hortons lately, you might have been pleasantly surprised if you ordered a hot drink. They've adjusted their sizes without adjusting the price, which makes sense considering the medium felt far too small. I'm told they shifted all their cup sizes down about a year or more ago, and this switch is just changing it back, but I don't know that for certain. What I do know is, the male staff won't get sick of being told, "Wow, it's so big!" anytime soon.

Unfriending = dirty card

I don't consider myself someone who takes Facebook too seriously, but I'm no stranger to that sinking feeling when I go to someone's Facebook page and see that completely unfriendly "add as a friend" button. How rude! And then you start thinking of the last interaction you had with them.."What could I have done to piss them off this much?" When its ever come up in conversation, it's always the action that's considered too far. "Yea, she told all our friends my secrets, gave me all my stuff back, AND she deleted me on Facebook...can you believe it?"

Corny one-liner

Some of my favourite TV shows are CSI: Las Vegas, Bones, Dexter and Castle. I just love all the crime solving mysteries, but it's never a mystery what happens in the first five minutes. There's always a dead body, and they usually show the crime scene investigators showing up to find the body too. I'm not sure where this phenomenon started, but right before the theme song plays, there's a tendency for a main character to say a corny one liner about the victim's situation, and it's usually a pun. In Castle, when he showed up to a scene where the body was frozen he said "This is my first cold case!" before the theme song. I've noticed that Bones is more subtle about it, but it's still there. In CSI: Las Vegas it's almost always Grissom that says them, and I'm usually rolling my eyes when the song starts. Watch for it.

Sick, but true.

I love watching people run trying to catch transit. It's amusing because they're usually in bad shoes, with a lot of stuff on them, and they never anticipated needing to run that day. They always look so desperate, and usually bus drivers will stop for these people, which is nice. But what is even more fun, is the skytrain, because it doesn't wait for anyone. These people always look so crushed, even though another one will come in 5 minutes. Apparently there are no google images of this happening, I will have to take pictures next time..I bet they won't mind at all, and if they do, toooooo bad! I made the train!
