Gayest Post Yet

So, I have to say how much I'm loving this cycle of America's Next Top Model. I have a few reasons.

1. It's so gay.
2. It reminds me of Zoolander, in the sense that nobody involved seems to be in on the joke.
3. It's fabulous.
4. Tyra's advice is about as coherent as that of Paula Abdul, but she delivers in a "zing pow zha zha" kinda way, and does so as though she's in her right mind.
5. When Tyra makes certain faces she gets a fold at the top of her nose that makes her look like an alien from Star Trek.

My fave is Whitney, because she seems the closest to real.

 

New Shoes

Normally I wouldn't write a blog about new shoes, but these are Docs. My love affair with Dr. Marten began when I was a teenager and they were all the rage. They've withstood the test of time, and still provide excellent shoes and boots and a reasonable price.

The only place in town that has any kind of selection is a store called Rock Junction. They have quite the selection which is way back in the crammed little storefront on Rideau Street. Once you walk past all the bongs and pipes, you can see them.

This is the pair I picked up. They are so comfortable. I'm looking forward to wearing them to work tomorrow.

This Song Kills Me

New Camera

I forgot to mention that for my birthday, some friends chipped in and bought me a new camera! I'm very excited about it.

So far, this is my favorite picture that I've taken with the camera. It's Chester, and considering that it's zoomed in all the way, I thought it was wonderfully clear. It's now my desktop on my computer.

Aril One Two Thousand Eight

I've been 32 for a whole day now. On the weekend Shawn threw a party for me. On Saturday night, a bunch of our friends came over, and it was awesome. I got way too drunk, but from what I can tell, a good time was had by all.

It was a nice mix at the party as well, an ever evolving group of friends, some I've had for ages, and some very new, and it is always incredible to me when I see everyone get along.

Yesterday, my actual birthday couldn't have been a gloomier day. The weather did not cooperate, and as I drove downtown, all I could see were sad faces, people defeated by the weather.

It was nice and quiet though, and for supper I had left over hot dogs and mac n' cheese... and a DQ cheesecake blizzard for dessert.

The snow is melting, and that's the main thing!

Vive la Spring!!!
