Ok, so again I said I would update more. Obviously I LIED.Anyhow, if you're an oldie like me and know what Coast 800/1040 was I have such a treat for you!If you need a refresher about this awesome radio station that only lasted 3 short years(1990-1993), have a look at this great Facebook Fan Page!I've mourned this station since it went off the air, I can hardly believe it's almost been 20 years?!

Someone give that kid some Nyquil...

So here's the scene.I'm at work, workin. A mum and her very young infant are passing by, and as babies do it was wailing away.H. was with me and said something along the lines of, 'Oh that sound stresses me out, I just want to pick it up and make it all better.'I responded 'I must be dead inside because I feel nothing.' And I wasn't kidding. Is it bad that I don't feel that sort of empathy for

Simple things.

Time:5:12pmLocation:living room on couchAccomplices: Stella purring on Snuggie next to me.I'm in my pajamas already. Lava lamp is lava-ing, record player is playing..60's music at the moment. Possibly some radio comedies later.It's pretty quiet around here, T. went home to Ontario see his mum who's in hospital. Thought it was for something other than what it turned out to be, but the best news is

Mixed bag.

Things I'd like to do this year:-Go to Las Vegas to see what all the fuss is about.-Go to Tofino again(thanks Mum!)-Be better organized when planning meals-I really suck at this.-Brush the cat religiously. Only one will let me, the other could murder me if I try it again with her.-Dance more.-Read more books. I finished 'The Road' and 'The Other Boleyn Girl' recently. -Be more routine with chores

And it was love at first listen.He reminds me of Chapterhouse, which isn't very surprising since he lists them as one of his influences.And now compare with Chapterhouse.Merry Ho-Ho everyone! I'll attempt to write more in future! :D

Cee Lo Green - FUCK YOU

Along the same lines as my earlier post today, this song fits in quite well. Damn catchy too!

Please read. Please??

Your sweetie ended it, that heartless girl. Now your future is in shambles. You feel the need to panic and beg for her back. You'll do anything to make things right.But no matter how you try, you can't get back to that little spot of sunlight where you were so comfortable and safe.There's only one thing left for you to do: Forget her. I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but with this blueprint

Blind Melon - Toes Across The Floor (1995)

2010-07-29T17:57:00.001-07:00

One of the most underrated bands ever, so much more to them than 'No Rain'. Their album 'Soup' is amazing. RIP Mr.Hoon, who knows what more you could have done.

Summertime and the livin' is...pretty decent.

2010-07-28T19:04:00.002-07:00

So summer is in full swing around these parts, though it's thankfully not been overly hot(under 30C). I've only fired up the bbq once in the last while, it's about time I made that awesome bbq'd corn again.What's been happening around here..well I had a week's vaycay and that was quite nice, still have more to use up, perhaps next month. Just in time for the PNE!Also we have gotten yet another

Thought I'd post some new/new to me tv programmes that are actually worth your time.1)Peep Show follows the often sexually-frustrated lives of two men in their late twenties and early thirties, Mark Corrigan (Mitchell), employed as a loan manager, and Jeremy Osbourne, an unemployed musician (Webb). The fictional pair met at Dartmouth University, and now share a flat in Croydon, South London.2)

OMG. This is awesome.

Blah.

2010-06-18T03:24:00.002-07:00

It's 3:24am and I woke up after sleeping for around 2 whole hours feeling wiiiiide awake. So I gave up and made myself a sammich.This is entertaining: Los Angeles Live Police ScannerThankfully just a short shift tomorrow..

Think of the old 'Carry On' movies. Cracked me UP. From 'That Mitchell and Webb Look'

Shameless plug, sorta.

2010-06-07T20:55:00.004-07:00

I must confess my love for a new product.Cover Girl Lash Blast(Volume formula)I can't remember the last time I bought a drugstore mascara, but I'd heard good things about this stuff and figured ok it was a)on sale at the time and b)cheapy cheap even if it wasn't.Well DANG. This shit is AWESOME. Just as good as Lancome's and for oooh about $17 less. I'm sold!Now, onto the less thrifty side of

HELLO hello...hello....echo...

2010-04-20T23:31:00.004-07:00

Well geez. Yes yet again it's been a heck of a long time since my last entry. Ah well.So some good news. We have a new store manager! Thank GOD. This one is a lot more on the ball, and thinks that visual presentation is important. This has not happened in our store for a dismally long time. I say it's about time! His last store won store of the year, so I have high hopes for not only a better

Leisurely drive to work. IN HELL.

2010-01-28T14:36:00.004-08:00

Have I mentioned how much I hate January when my shifts are all over the map? I especially hate the dreaded 9am shift when I get to drive in rush hour traffic. I leave my house on time and give myself a half-hour to get to work, an extra ten minutes more than I normally take. I listen to the AM radio traffic station to see if there's anything to avoid. Seems decent, right? Well here's how my

New discoveries!

2010-01-24T21:17:00.005-08:00

I'm liking this change I've been making. The first few days of eating better, I had a mild headache. I wonder if it's because there was lack of chemical crap in my system? Although my one vice, Coke Zero has not been eliminated. Everyone has to have a habit, could be worse!I found some great new foods. One that is AMAZING if you like cereal is Dorset Cereals. So tasty and chock-full of fruits and

As the sidebar said: Something tells me this wasn't what those scientists had in mind when they invented the internet.

Everything's gone green.

2010-01-16T01:19:00.002-08:00

Tryin' to!For Christmas my mum got me a book, 'Green for Life' by Gillian Deacon. Basically a how to be more enviro-friendly in everyday life. A lot of things I already do, like recycling nearly everything, making my own all-purpose cleaner, etc. Lots of new things to try though! And as a true west-coaster, born and raised, I better get at it. I'm a little late by local standards..So this week I

Happy Ho-Ho.

2009-12-23T22:09:00.004-08:00

Oh I tell you, this year I can't wait for insanity at work to stop already. The store manager's side-show announcer type ramblings at a very high annoying volume on the intercom is bad enough:Good Morning, or should I say afternoon shoppers!! Welcome to *store*!!! Today we have a daily special in our *whatever* department!!! *insert deal info here* We're located on the lower..I mean upper floor!

I tell you, Facebook really has taken over for my main place to post my thoughts. Sorry Blogger peoples, whomever is reading!Some things I've been up to:-20 year high school reunion. It was a pretty fun time, was held out at a Hotel/Casino in Langley. Most people I didn't or barely recognized.-Saw some Vancouver Film Festival movies, like The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus which I quite liked.-

The £11.50 Sundae.

2009-08-22T00:13:00.007-07:00

Sure, it was big. But was it worth $23 CAD? Most likely not, but really how much fun is it? TONS.Very strange, the whole counter was packed with Persians wearing all manner of gold watches, chains etc. The women were very pretty, albeit more made-up than any women I've ever seen in my life. Tons of kohl eyeliner, pancake makeup and bright pink lips. All seem to be just hanging out to be seen

What's new, Pussycat?

2009-08-18T22:58:00.002-07:00

Must write more...Facebook really has taken over computer-time wise!Well, we went to London again for a week. Saw a bunch of things we hadn't seen the last time. Hampton Court, Westminster Abbey, London Zoo, Royal Albert Hall..had an awesome curry take-away in Hyde Park the first day. That was our one meal out indulgence. The rest of the time it was pasties or £2 meal deals from Tesco, which was
