My desk

Here is what my desk currently looks like ….

MMmyesss… Lovely Game!

Lately these Canucks games have been MIND BLOWING! The boys are really on top of things now a days … Luongo is back to his old self, Kesler is keeping it real and even Pyatt is scoring!!! That game against Montreal was pretty crazy .. they were in the Canadiens zone probably 80% of the entire time.  The one person though that really needs a point real bad is Mr.Wellwood. He shaved his beard for this game .. probably thought it would make him more aerodynamic … He got a penalty … first penalty in years .. but the look on his face was the same .. typical Kyle look heheh ! … He was also so close to scoring! My goodness … in fact I think that goal totally went in.  Going into overtime is a lot like gambling … Calgary thought they had it going on … …. FAIL!!! .. Kiprusoff  was almost as good as Turco … but not good Phaneuff lol (enough) .. that shoot out score by Dimitra… it looked like Kiprusoff was on the moon … no attempt to stop it . but hey I’m not complaining. Luo did an awesome job in keeping us ahead in the shoot out .. BUT .. I would like to say that .. the deek that Bertuzzi did … would have been awesome had he scored … I know .. Calgary is the enemy .. but it was beautifully executed .. it’s a shame it didn’t go in .. but it too would have been a shame at the same time. 

 

So yes .. enough about the game 

I joined an aerobics class at the local community center lol … first class today .. I got my ass kicked!!!!!!!  I am hoping that in a week or two I can do it with out asking myself “what did I get myself into?” half way through the workout lol. I’ll get used to it … it is nothing like those Turbo Jam videos I downloaded HAHAHAHHA .. though I do recommend their Ab Jam .. you won’t be able to do anything with your obliques for a couple of days hehe. 

 

I am in a great mood!! I aint even Trippen!!!!!!!! word!!! lol 

 

OOOOOOH New Trail of Dead leaked … mmmyess listening to it right now . Will have to burn for the commute to work tomorrow … also .. I need to wash my car .. any volunteers? Please advise.. kkthnxbye!!!!

gg!

Last nights Canucks game was a good game .. I thought they played consistently throughout… a lot of chances to score by the Sedins. I will tell you the reason why we didn’t get much scoring action done. One word(name): Turco …. okay .. and Im not recognizing his skills as a goalie… I am not giving him props or anything … because the culprit behind it all is the colour of his paddings . please take a look at .. exhibit A:

LOL okay .. first of all .. how tacky is this!?!?!?!?!  GOLD!!??? UGH! 

and well second of all and .. my point really .. is … the Canucks were just blinded by the reflection coming off of these BLING pads … and what was with Turco coming out of his net and acting like he was a defenseman… Geez louise!!!! 

Diva Princess Turco … with his Gold pads .. I bet he has his own private room inside their Locker room with a vanity and hes got a robe and bouquets of flowers  .. and the door has like a STAR on it with his name inside the star … kk … now now .. this is pushing it .. hahaha but yes

My conclusion : those pads are an optical illusion!

Canucks = Butter

 

THEY

ARE

ON

A

ROLL!!!!!!!

- bad news bears – good news geckos -

So …. bad news.. my old laptop is KAPUTZ! … getting a SMART error when i boot it …. then it says press F1 to continue … which I do .. and then it is the Windows start up screen and ….. 30 minutes later… it is still the Windows Start Up screen … double yew tee eff!!! … lol its cool I got this one just in time. I had given my old laptop to my brother because well .. he wanted it .. and I don’t really blame him for the lack of function on the laptop but .. it kinda sucks for him cuz now he is back to the other computer … which I mean .. is perfectly fine … it is only a year old and its pretty snazzy …. but yeah .. hopefully I get it fixed… and omg thank gawsh I moved all of the files to an external hard drive about a week ago …. sooo lucky!!!  

I told him if he really wants a laptop I will chip in for a third of the cost … he turns 16 next month … lol .. time to get a job!!! MUAHAHHAHA jk jk .. but yeah … oooh I could use that to motivate him … anyways .. yes so .. thats kinda le crappy .. but eh .. what can you do. 

Now I don’t have a backup laptop .. ahhaha it was always nice to have it there … for just in case times. lol 

 

Hmmmm.. on another bad news bears note… I have  still not received my XBOX! OH MY GOD!!I have been too patient with those buffoons!!!! I am getting angry and turning green and … RAWR!!! … I have been wanting to play Halo soooo baaaaadd!!!!!!!!!!! and not to mention the fact that Skate 2 has been collecting dust on my desk while there is an empty hole where my Xbox used to be …. I miss those Xbox marathons I would have on weekends…. at least I can still play WoW … I did get a mount btw .. free of charge because my character is a Warlock … it is a snazzy horsie with fire feet! – but yes … Microsoft… HURRR UP!!! … first my Xbox .. now my lappy … what is next? … **not buying microsoft products again** 

 

 

GOOD NEWS GECKOS - 

The homies over at the place of GM won the game tonight 

*applause/cheer* 

It was about time … I mean it didn’t bother me that they were losing because I heart them no matter what…. but times were getting tough for them.. they really needed this to kick it up a notch … watch out Bertginla …. you are going down! – Because if there is anyone that needs to go down is bert and iginla . …. don’t get me started on their team mate calamari … hahah  … k but yes … lovely game .. they were consistent throughout …. Bobby Luo let in some pucks but they were a bit fluky if you ask me … so all in all …. I have faith that they will just go up from here…. in fact here is a line graph that shows my predictions:

The green shows the Canucks Awesomeness levels … and the Red shows the amount of people on the bandwagon during that time … As you can see … people on the bandwagon tend to reach alarming levels when the Canucks are doing their best. 

but yes … that is all! 

 

 

PS> I was just about to complain about how people call Costco Costco because in MY MIND I thought it was spelled Cosco … but I just googled it and … yeah … everyone is right …. it is Costco … good thing I did my research!!!

 

The MORE YOU KNOW!!! *

Hockey and Hair

So .. I haven’t talked much about hockey in quite sometime … hahah ummm Luongo is back that is always nice .. Pyatt is .. scoring goals .. that is also nice .. we are losing games .. that is not nice … but ..

lol … I my friends am not a bandwagon jumper … but at the same time .. do not like to comment when they are not doing well … I do not like to kick them while they are down. 

I am hoping that next week we see a 180 and start winning some games … kicking some ass!! 

 

Hair- … errr I think it is time for a new doo .. I am considering going darker .. I am considering going lighter … the cut is fine .. its the colour that is my main concern … lighter hair is too high maintenance .. but dark hair is too … eh .. I dunno … common? … and I am NOT doing blonde .. or if I do do blonde it will be a dirty ashy tone … it will be light brown almost .. yeah … but .. that is too high maintenance .. the roots .. etc.. blah 

still undecided 

=p

Le Mardi – Oui Oui – Tres Bien (accent on the “e”)

umm so … I have to start off by saying that the past two nights I had the kind of sleeps where you feel like you only slept for literally 2 minutes … only to wake .. to HAVE to get up .. so not gnarley… I do not want that to happen today… so … I’m hoping for the best… OH OH on top of that when I snoozed … same thing .. alarm goes off .. I press the snooze and in a half second it’s been 45 mins .. not cool (yes that is how long I snooze for hahaha) But yes okay getting to the good stuff… 

 

Aulllright … so the plan for my next paycheck .. WoW!!!! Do not judge – you only judge because you only wish you could play. Haterades … so not high in electrolytes (no one will get that LOL) 

K so .. Franz Ferdinand concert yesterday was BALLIN!!!! 

But first .. yesterday after work I went to get my eyebrows done .. I was starting to look like  mONKEH!!!! I then went to TNT to purchase some tomatoes, eggs, and mango juice …. came home only to find my mom had made yummy yummy dinner, I ate while watching the first period of the Canucks’ game  … and proceeded to pick up Sofia for le Franz ….. on my way I listened to said game on the radio – for I did not want to miss out on the action. 

We got to our predetermined parking lot only to find out parking was going to cost $20 ridiculous dollars… KILL THAT NOISE!!.. We went to the one parking lot that is the jiggity jam .. $8  .. Umm .. way better than $20 is all I gotta say . Umm we went to take out money at the ATM machine .. Sofia went first … then I stuck my card in the machine .. pulled the card out like instructed to .. and I broke the machine  … an error message appeared .. LOL so we walked across the street to another ATM … and me being all good to go decided to try to see if I could navigate the ATM in French … I thought I did well but in the end it just spit out a receipt …. THEN it wouldn’t read my card ahhahaha . umm on to the next ATM ..which had the option of English and Spanish … and of course I couldn’t resist but to try the Spanish version . I was successful … 

Waiting in line to get into Franz  .. a dood arrived in front of the Orpheum .. pulled out his guitar and began to play … He began to play none other than BOB DYLAN!!!! (Like a Rolling Stone) I had to give him some COINAGE!!! … Very nice. 

OOOOOLRAAAEEET – we are inside .. we head for the front (we are both quite zee shot ones so we wanted to be up close) … We were on the right (AKA stage left lol) … We took turns being keeners and getting a T-shirt each. I got a white one and she got a black one.. 

Opening was The Evaporators with frontman Nardwuar. They were so full of energy… very very fun band. Nardwaur was wearing quite the fancy suit and he rocked out with it for most of the show .. Until near the end when he decided to take it off on stage and change into a fancy colorful suit, complete with black chewbacca boots. He crowd surfed quite a bit. The best part was when he went out into the middle of the crowd and got everyone to crouch down and then he got them to jump up with their hands in the air. It was quite the experience. His songs are in the punk/garage genre – they consist of very entertaining lyrics with the likes of songs with names such as “I gotta rash”, “Addicted to Cheese”, and my fav “Barney Rubble Is My Body Double”. Good to go these guys are. 

Franz was pretty much off the chizzzains. I’m not going to sit here and describe every song for you… but I will tell you how overall these guys are good to go. They played old stuff .. and new stuff. I believe they started off with “Michael” .. good song to get the crowd going… which I might say was a well behaved one at that. They were too busy dancing than causing a ruckus. Sofia and I were standing beside these to umm … hockey player looking chicks .. and they did NOT SMILE at aALLL or ANYTHING during the entire show … one of them had her hair in braids so I gave them the nicknames Helga and Inga… too bad I didn’t get any shots of them because they did look like a Helga and an Inga. anyways back to zee show. Over all what impressed me the most was the sauciness being emitted from Bob’s bouncy bass lines. I am highly anticipating the new Alby hitting the stores in late Jan. Alex of course had all the moves that night, jumping, kicking the air, and that smooth voice of his to add to the showmanship .. good to go. They played “Dark Of The Matinee” every single person in the room was pumping up the jam. I also noticed that they have a distinct drumming sound … one of their TOMS .. I hear in every song. I like that. They were the first band I saw at the Commodore Ballroom years ago .. I think it was when I first turned 19…. and I stood in the exact same spot… just so I can be in front of Bob lol. This show was different than a lot of the shows I have been going to lately.  It wasn’t as long as it could have been, but during the show I did not once think about how long the set was… or how long the wait was. They were soo good to go that it didn’t even cross my mind. They ended the show with “This Fire” which they also ended with the first time I saw them but is the perfect song to end a show with. Bob gave me his guitar pick ( I asked him for it during the show… and he nodded so I knew it was coming hahah) and all the girls like .. OH MAGAWWW !!! But I won that battle!! HAHAHA I got his guitar pick the first time I saw them too. OH memories =) .. But yes .. the only thing that I was not expecting is for them to not play “Lucid Dreams” which is the new smash hit of the up and coming alby. Tis okay. I have a feeling they will be back in a couple of months. Lucid Dreams WILL make it on the set list.

But yes .. I took a lot of pictures.. most of these on facebook. But since I am almost finished with this post and I have not yet posted a picture .. it is only fair…

 

Bob

 

SO yes I would have to say that it was a very awesome performance – They never let me down!!! Franz FTW!!!!

PS. I hope I don’t have one of “those sleeps” tonight – would not be cool. TCHA!!! 

Canucks vs Wild …..

so .. we are half way into the game here .. and .. Sanford is good to go at the moment… oh nope wait .. Minnesota just scored booooh! But maybe that will get the team to buckle down … it seems to me as if they were just slacking this whole time…. , Mr.Wellwood is putting out (metaphorically speaking) …. Kesler is n(h)ot …. I haven’t seen much Sedin twin action .. Pyatt is just in the way like always … but seriously they need to buckle down …. regardless of Sanford letting that goal in …. he is doing quite well out there tonight … KUDOS to him!!! He has potential …. you could see the disappointment in him when he let that goal in… awww what a guy. Nice and we JUST scored .. see I knew this would make them buckle down.. they were sleeping out there. Bernier never lets me down haha.  The Wild will lose … it is personal .. I don’t like their uniforms .. they are too christmassy …. Nooooo!!! damnit! they scored again!!!  oh they BETTER buckledown !!!!!!! Vigneault doesn’t look very happy…. oh we are good to go again .. 2-2 anyways … 

I don’t know if it’s just me… but lately, during hockey games, I have been seeing a lot of sticks on the ground…. I think the manufacturers of the hockey sticks this year weren’t really “on it” … broken sticks everywhere… or should we blame the glove manufacturers… not enough grip , too much grip .. get with it! haha 
I finally set up my character on the new snazzy Xbox Experience (whoaaaaa)  pretty cool … I like the navigation … definite improvement they are good to go in my books!   

I feel like I should attach a picture to this …
