Jalouse

I'm on a roll! After watching Thor, this week I have proceeded to catch up on Iron Man 1 & 2.  Mickey Rourke makes a really interesting russian badass I must say.

Anyway, just wanted to show you the following video from this crazy couple who are going from Paris to Moscou to Beijing to Tokyo taking the plane + trans siberian.  Feel free to steal the idea by the way yall:




Yes this couple has chosen to ask for kilometers as wedding gifts instead of the usual plates, bathrobes and dishwashers.  Genius!!  I don't understand the whole wedding list in western culture (or just in America??), in China you receive cash in red pockets, simple as that.   If there is such business in America, I would love to open a online wedding list website where people can make their payments online and the recipients can decide wherever they want to throw that money into.  Oh well, pretty sure it already exists.

I just watched THOR and I loved it!

When it comes to action movies, I'm always behind by a few years.  After watching the Avengers two weeks ago I felt a strong curiosity towards the Marvel characters, which led me to their individual movies, starting with Thor. Maybe next week I'll catch up on the Iron Man and Captain America.  By the way, first thing I did at the end of the movie was to google : How did Thor get back to Earth?  ;)

I'm ready to come back to blogging after a very much needed break (from not only the blog but also the internet & the evil computer)  aaah how liberating.

Sometimes after leaving the moose or watching him leave this time, my first wish is to be alone and have some time to JUST BE SAD.  The airport is the ultimate emotional roller coaster location, no matter how many times I find myself there I always end up with a nasty running nose and red eyes.  I think next time I will set my feet in there, it will be to start a great adventure !! Just wait for it!

Now something that makes me sigh everyday : walking up to my car, and being reminded that this same car brought my friends and I to New York two weeks ago... The moose and I even slept (uncomfortably) in this car by the lighthouse near 32nd avenue  the night my dad was in Lachine.  It's so much more fun to drive with friends around, even though they won't let me listen to Norah Jones.

A pic of Natalie is always a good way to end a random post.

Can't wait for THOR 2!!!

BRB

I'm taking a short break from blogging, as my moose is arriving tomorrow to be with me forever.


I couldn't be happier right now.  I'm the happiest goose in the world.

Psss, Pat & Anita, how cool is this las-vegas inspired invitation??

My ever-so-exciting Friday nights...

I take back what I said yesterday about computer n00bs.  Every once in a while I get reminded by my old nissan how car mechanics challenged I am.  And I must thank the one man who's always been here for me and poor nissan.  If you know me in real life chances are that you've heard me complain about my dad and how we argue 99% of the time and the remaining 1% is spent ignoring each other.  The % fluctuates from time to time but it still holds.   

My dad is like the archetype of the caveman.  Ok maybe not a caveman, let's say a traditional macho man.  I don't recall ever seeing him cook or washing the dishes, he wouldn't even touch the rice cooker or wash the salad.  My mom doesn't expect him to, because she's accepted the caveman that he is and he helps around the house by taking care of other tasks such as lighting the fire in the fireplace...
anywayyyyyyyyyyy j'en étais où moi??  
So yes, my dad, has NO PITY for retards.  Even when I give him my extra challenged-cute-help-me-with-my-car look.  This is why I'm spending my Friday evening reading on motor oil on wikipedia.  But I am grateful to have learned something, I really am. I know what the W stands for in 5w-30 haha    Dans un sens, mon père est très macho, en refusant catégoriquement de participer à des tâches traditionnellement pour femmes, mais en même temps il est très juste dans ses attentes que ça soit de femmes, hommes, sa fille, des retardés, pour lui "je comprends rien" c'est PAS une excuse.  Il a quand même eu pitié de moi et de mon rétroviseur manquant (le trou béant scotch tapé qui faisait un bruit de fou avec le vent) cette semaine il a installé ce dernier sans m'en parler.  Oui ça m'en prend pas beaucoup pour être touchée!!  C'est le plus gros geste d'affection qu'il est prêt à me manifester, et j'apprécie en tabarouette.    It's just that sometimes I wish I could be more spoiled like other normal daughters/only child, but I doubt I could get used to it.

With the help of my dad I will be better prepared to face the life of a single, independent, cat lady.

It's not me, it's you.

The compliment I've unfortunately been getting the most at work is : Wow you're good at computers.  

You'd think my reaction would be

But sigh...being told "you're good at computers" by other women/girls is not even close to being told the same thing by a guy.  I consider myself in terms of computer knowledge around the average 2012 homo sapien level, but now, now these women... they are taking this to the level of ZOOLANDER and HANSEL!! 




1/4 of my work time is spent on the phone with angry flooring dealers trying to access our ftp site, trying to guide them step by step (which internet browser are you using? "I usually use Google.com miss, sometimes I go on yahoo.com"). I will not give up on educating these Alberta countrymen, even my 80 year old grandma has learned how to use Skype and attach pictures to her emails ;)

Learn how to fix your computer problems by yourself, it's not cute to be computer illiterate, AND I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND I DON'T HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO COME TO YOUR RESCUE.  But I will because your boyfriend needs a break from your ignorance from time to time.

Sincerely,

I want ice cream and waffles.

1- Our crazy, spoiled, demoniac graphic designer is draining the life out of me, my intern and I have to help each other out in order to remain calm when we receive her unconceivably bad ideas through emails.  She is nuts, I tell you.

2- I'm ready for a couple life, after 3 years of living : one with roommates -  one living alone in creepy lachine - one living with the parents, I want to experience living with the moose, my partner in crime.

3- Maaaaaaaaaaan, I'm craving for a smoked salmon creamcheese bagel.

4- Maaaaaaaaaan, when is it going to be warm enough for open toe sandals?!

5- I just spent my two weeks salary paying back my credit card, sad part is that most of it is FRIGGIN GAS........to drive to work... screw dis shiiiiiet.

6- Do yall follow my bro's blog?   http://hlg12345.blogspot.ca/   what are you waiting for? Go give Huilong some love & encouragement.

7- I'm never going clubbing again.  There's no alcohol strong enough to make me stand the club music.  And did I tell you, I made fun of a kazak-looking man's super tight leopard shirt, my retarded laugh must have sounded like sweet music to his ears because he thought I was diggin his style and started talking creepily to me.  Poker face.  I'm never laughing at anyone's shirt again.

8- Madewell chunky sandals with exquisite colors. Look at them...  wish I could walk in the Madewell store right now, slam down my credit card, and bring these beauties home.

9- I want to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Hope it's as funny as Princessbride!

10- Yall have been to Kazu??  Tell me if there's a dish that you absolutely love!!  I'm making a list of good places where to take the moose and seduce him from the stomach, make him fall madly in love with this city and never leave.

Where the hell in the world do you want to live??

Si vous pouviez partir vivre dans n'importe quel coin de la planète, où iriez-vous?

Je crois qu'il y a quelques années j'aurai pu répondre à cette question assez facilement.   Maintenant que j'ai le crâne bourré de pensées d'adulte, mon premier réflexe serait de demander des précisions à la question (typiquement adulte ça)  : n'importe où, mais est-ce que je pouvais avoir un job instantanément?  n'importe où, en étant riche ou pauvre?         I could easily be the most insecure among my friends and people I know.  If only I could pull myself together and make some right choices for once, that would be a good step towards self confidence.

P-s: Searching up companies addresses on google streetview is the most entertaining thing ever!!
