Computers, Music and Mullets... what a Friday...

Today our internet went down at work, so our computer expert had to fix the problem - - (that would me ME!!!) ..... ..... .... .....


sorry was giving those of you who knew me time to stop laughing... YES I AM the computer expert :) I even had on my computer expert 'outfit' today - - NAH!!! who am i kidding, i don't own any 'computery outfits'... so I had to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I called Magma, talked to them a few times, figured out which black plastic box was infact our modem, drew a picture of what lights were on, what colour they were, what ones were flashing, etc... and relayed this info to my fellow computer expert at magma... only to find out that it wasn't a problem that could be fixed that easily. So i drove out to Primus (during rush hour) to get a new modem... then back to work (still in rush hour)... only to find that this STILL wasn't fixing the problem... so we are out internet till monday when bell can come figure out what is wrong...

After this i went to pottery, where i glazed and glazed and glazed. I worked solid from 6-9:50 when it was def time to go. Met up with my friend Shannon, and proceeded onto Gracies to meet up with other people... to see MONDAY'S GRACE! You may remember them from my blog a few weeks ago. fabulous coverband. I'm even more biased now b/c not only did they dedicate a song to me... but i'm going to be their new webmaster - - me... being a computer expert and all... whatever, its already technically 'created'... so all i have to do is the fun part, keep it updated and looking great! now THAT i can do! Stay tuned for more information on Monday's Grace. For show details check them out on MySpace.com

I also feel the need to bring up the shoe thing again, b/c the crime is still being committed... there were WHITE FLIP FLOPS at the bar, and not just any bar, a bar with BLACK LIGHT!!! yes, my dear, there was no use pretending you wern't wearing flip flops in late october (but don't worry, no one judged - - outloud!)

But i have to say, i was more taken by the mullet ladies... :) Christina tried to take a picture of them, but her camera phone just wasn't able to capture the full essence ... and we figured that cougars with lions manes had to come equiped with claws.. so we didn't want to anger them... we were there with some boys that could have fallen prey. - that being said, i still have a little obsession mullets, Mullets make me smile ... here is a mullet poem - i tried to find a good picture of femullet, but came across the poem instead, and had to share.

This poem is dedicated to my friend Erin, who will hopefully include a great mullet website in her comment, and my friend Jason who used to own a mullet of his own.

"Mullets Are Great"

Mullets are great,
No one could hate.
You see them at the county fair,
With their long and short greasy hair.
Red necks grow mullets for fun,
All of their kids have one.
I once saw a man with a mullet,
And in his head was a bullet.
Who could of done something so bad,
After all - mullets are a great fad.
I wish I had a mullet,
I would never cut it.
I would let it grow nice and long,
So many people grow them wrong.
Maybe some day you will see me in the hall,
I will have the greatest mullet of all!!

Today's story is about nothing....

yeah, thats right nothing. b/c that is what I've been up to. nothing. I slept for 13 hours last night... and feel a bit better, but am still quite phlegmy (who knew phlegm had a silent 'G'?) . So I will probably be sick again tomorrow (I was told to keep my germs at home...)

I found spinach at the grocery store yesterday! FINALLY! I have been going through a spinach withdrawal ever since the big health scare.

My sister comes home soon! I can't wait! she has been gone for a year. I'm sure most of you remember the 5-6 going away parties we had for her! lol... How could one girl have so many going away events... Who knows!! lol. but us ryerson gal's - - we like to party, we like, we like to party (pronounce like the Vengaboys CLASSIC from the 90's!!!)

The job search is on... for info on this if you care, please ask... I just don't' really want to blog about all that just yet... some things are meant for blogging, Shoes, ugly clothes, cows... others are left for emails... job hunt, talking (aka gossip), planning events.... etc.

sorry no pictures today!!!

over and out!! (did I ever tell you the story of my walkie talkies that my brother hid in his cardboard spaceship that my mom threw out :( :( I think of them whenever I hear 'over and out')

so instead I will just say "BYE!"

Contraption or Footwear? You be the judge...


I tried to keep the shoe blogs to a minimum, but then realized that I just couldn't sensor my blog like that... I felt that it was holding me back from informing you of the gorgeous shoes and the hideous shoes (this is the worst yet!!!) ... Things like this shouldn't be kept to yourself, they should be shared... people need to be informed... and WARNED!!!

I saw these in a magazine last month and was horrified. I think this boot/shoe contraption is definitely a... what would it be called??? oh I know A PROBLEM! Just because it is cold in parts of Canada, doesn't give people the right to trudge around in ugly footwear. as one friend pointed out... it wouldn't be so bad if the padded removable part was eliminated, and the shoe pattern was continued... BUT as it stands, it is simply ugly - a puma shoe with a rubber boot flare and a removable puffy vest wrapped around it.

I was so taken aback by this contraption known as footwear that I had to email the http://www.shoewawa.com/ staff to let them know that these are being produced!!!
