Now about those ghosts. I’m sure they’re here and I’m not half so alarmed at meeting up with any of them as I am at having to meet the live nuts I have to see every day.

Yes. I’m a fan of Ghost Hunters. Fake, real, whatever.. don’t care. I love it. My favourite person on there is Barry Fitzgerald. He started off as a “family member of TAPS” and has now been promoted to the Tech Manager for Ghost Hunters International.
Why do I like him? He started off in a little “guest spot” and he was soooo nerdy. He had on thick glasses, kind of pudgy, backwards kind of geek. I dig that look (what? I do. I’m not kidding!)
Then.. he gets the Ghost Hunters International gig and suddenly he looks HOT. He’s got that facial hair, goatee thing whatever it’s called, he wears the newsboy caps, the hot Irish thing going… and.. well.. I just think it’s so cute that here he was Mr. Mega-Nerd and now he’s like this Hottie Irish Dude. I wish I could find a Before and After photo.
I can’t sprinkle sprinkles on. I lose control when I have sprinkles. I’m shaky. I still remember the great sprinkle accident of 1982.

Do you ever wonder who was the first person who ever picked a banana and ate it? And why did they do that? Was it a dare? Or who figured out that certain vegetables taste better when boiled and not raw?
And of course with the first person who ate anything comes the first picky eater.
By the way.. bonus quote for you: When the first person ate a chicken…what did they say it tastes like? (via @muskrat_john)
You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said ‘Parking Fine.’

We took my mother-in-law to the airport yesterday for her to return home and of course she books her flight for peak hours. So we take the airport exit off the highway, find the Delta terminal and come to a screeching halt waiting to get our ticket for parking.
My husband doesn’t like standing in line. Ever. He feels there’s a way around everything, and if there isn’t, oh well, he just made an ass out of himself and he’s ok with that. So the line of cars is ridiculously long to wait for the hourly parking tickets and one of the lots is full. He swings around all of them in a lane no one seems to be taking. And I told him to just go to the Daily Parking. He said he’ll pay more, but I explained it won’t be much and it beats waiting in line when we have to get her inside. So he agreed and the line for the Daily Parking was empty. He took it. We got our ticket. We parked. This took 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, the line of cars for hourly parking got longer.
If my husband was wrong about going around, he would’ve found another path. We’re so scared about breaking rules, pissing people off, or doing the right thing that we never go outside of our little box to explore a little and use cognitive thinking. You have to cut your own path sometimes and do what the others aren’t doing.

Happy Saturday Morning Kiddies!
Here’s the back of your cereal box.. I hope your cereal is sugary sweet and has a sweet prize inside for you. 
Weird Kitchen Gadgets – It’s actually bizarre kitchen gadgets, but this site is not bizarre daily quotes. Heh.
What if cartoons were real? – The artis interpretations of cartoon characters are pretty interesting. The Jessica Rabbit one doesn’t look so real though?
The Bad Manors Squirrel Diner – I spoke on squirrel fun before.. now here’s someone who’s taken it to a whole ‘nother weird level and it’s awesome! Video goodness!
The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.

Does anyone else feel the weight of the universe at nighttime? I don’t know what it is.. maybe it’s the stillness of the dark, but everything feels so heavy.
I know typically all your worries are supposed to slip away, but mine seem to pile on. The recorder in my brain turns on and I replay all the events from the day.
Not that I’m complaining of course. I’m looking on the bright (oh look! a pun!) side and all this makes some interesting dreams. Last night I dreamt of a vampire. Not sure where he came from.. but like I said.. it’s nighttime where anything can happen!
You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.

I’m a Britcom nut. I watch it on PBS and I stream the new ones online. But sadly, those British comedies depress me. They only air a few episodes a year.
The IT Crowd is one of my new favourites and they air 6 episodes a year. Yea. 6. Six. A year. 365 days and 6 of those days airs a new IT Crowd. Maybe I’m just a spoiled American that I want more. A favourite 30-minute American comedy I watch is Big Bang Theory and they air around 20 episodes a year. That’s almost 3 times more. I feel that every episode is funny too.. they don’t strain for jokes (IMHO). But maybe it causes shows to jump shark earlier than usual if they play too many a year? Or maybe British writers don’t want to stress by having to produce too much during the year?
The Vicar of Dibley had a successful 13 year run, guess how many episodes they ran? 20. Twenty. And 4 short specials. My head would explode if I had to wait that long in between episodes! What do British people watch in between waiting for all this stuff?
I’m not playing a role. I’m being myself, whatever the hell that is.

I love movie trailers. There. I’ve said it.
I do. I love watching movie trailers to movies I would never ever dream of seeing, such as horror or thrillers. But I like watching the movie trailers to them, and even more than that – I love reading about the horror movies. I’ll go to Movie Spoiler and find out about the entire movie. It makes for interesting conversation when I tell someone about a horror movie and they ask if I’ve seen it, and of course my answer is no. But I did read about it. Saw the trailer too.
IFC hosted the 50 Greatest Movie Trailers of All Time. I agree with some of it. A good trailer must anticipation, sappy music, good one-liners, and the ending.. this way I don’t have to watch the movie. I can deduce to what the movie is about and how it ends. We do live in America, after all, so everything ends happily ever after.

I recently (as in today) had to give away a ton of free stuff that was basically crafty things and some wedding stuff. So I listed it all on Craiglist because really, where else would I list them?
I explained in detail what I had and told the responders to please tell me the colors they would like. I said I had a TON of stuff. So most responses I got was “I’ll take everything! LOL!” and they probably meant it. I said I don’t want to give everything to one person, do they have something specific in mind. Most responses: “Probably everything! LOL!” Right.
Um. No.
The ones I did reply to (and gave extra bonuses for showing up) got a lot more goodies than what they thought they were getting. So for all you Craiglisters out there.. here’s a little tip. 1) Give a good reply to someone because you never know if someone is nitpicking you 2) SHOW UP! You never know when they might sweeten the pot.

For work I have to read up on the dos and don’ts of blogging (yea, not making this up) and most of those gurus say that if you list items or do “best of” lists… you’ll increase in popularity and blogging validity and then you’ll be well known online (but offline, you’re still a nobo-daddy) So, let give you some weird ideas for some “best of” lists you can compile for your website. If some of these already exist, feel free to leave a comment so I can edit this area.
1. The Best Of MacGuyver – He had some pretty smooth moves.
2. The Best Of Hasslehoff Videos – He’s got some doozies
3. The Best Of Hockey Players Hugging Eachother – It doesn’t happen often, so there should be a numbered list.
4. The Best Of Miniature Golf Plays
6. The Best Use Of “AWW MAN!” – In what ways have people exclaimed “AWW MAN!”
7. The Best Of Macaroni Art – I’m pulling straws by this point. It’s late.
I told my mother-in-law that my house was her house, and she said, “Get the hell off my property.”
- Joan Rivers
I do enjoy my mother-in-law, she’s a very colorful person and I’m sure if I spoke her language (which isn’t English), I’d be even more amused by her. But as such, all I can do is try and translate her broken English as best I can.
The presents she gives us on her visits are top notch. This year I got Kamasutra chocolate (white and dark!) and also a very large set of shot glasses with a picture of a naked woman on the lap with the devil. Pictures are pending.
