More from the UK

Well Episode two of 2008 Britain's Got Talent is out and there may be some competition for that sweet voiced kid. Listen to this kid.



Must be some weird DNA combination of Frank Sinatra and Wayne Newton.

Then there was this lady.....


I'm starting to think Britain has wayyyyy more talent than North America LOL.

Britain's Got Talent

This is from last years Britain's Got Talent.
Sit back and be prepared to be amazed.




Paul Potts, he's my hero. I was convinced at first that he was lip syncing. I love that he was there in his one and only suit terrified that he wasn't good enough and he did that. He won by the way.

New post coming up about my vacation as soon as I get my piccies sorted lol.

Listen to this! This kid was on Britain's got Talent this week and holy crap you won't believe what comes out of his mouth!

Heartless Selfish Bitch

Yup that's me. I've come to this conclusion after watching some guy on tv bawling his eyes out cuz things weren't going his way (police show and he wasn't even drunk!).

The confession I need to make is that guys crying for reasons other than someone dying or being really injured creeps me out. The longer it goes on, the less respect I have for him. Somewhere in my tiny little mind there is a voice saying "men don't cry, men are supposed to hold ME when I cry". Selfish isn't it? I was trying to figure out if I was heartless and I thought no I'm a bit too tenderhearted most of the time - hell there used to tv commercials that made me cry every time! (there were a couple of drunk driving commericals that got me every time - the shattered picture with you are so beautiful playing in the background and the little girl dancing with her father, she's standing on top of his feet and daddy's little girl is playing the background). So I don't know why it gets to me so much when guys cry but it irritates me to no end.

*sigh* I guess I'm just evil.

Hot hot hot

It has been so friggin hot in here today (and it's not just me having "power surges" before any smartass suggests it). The building controls all the heat in here and omg it's still on at blast furnace levels and I have all my windows open and am considering turning on the air conditioner! It was almost 17c out there today and it felt like 30c in here! Can't wait until they can legally turn the damn heat off.
Sioux and Dan are back from the cottage for a week or so and they want me to go back up with them for a week - it'd be nice, I really like it up there but I have to decide if I really want to spend a week with no running water, using an outhouse in a cottage 10 miles from the nearest town with two people who have just quit smoking LOL

That feeling of impending DOOM

Do you ever feel like there is something hanging over you and you just don't know what it is? Like there is something you should be doing or somewhere you should be? I seem to have that feeling all the time now - like someone is waiting in the wings to pounce the minute I'm not paying attention. Geez that sounds like paranoia doesn't it? LOL

So lately I've been teaching myself how to knit. Thrilling topic I know LOL. My grandmother taught me how to knit slippers and they are quite nice but it gets dead boring - I got to the point that I was making slippers as tiny as I could just for fun. Only thing is grandma ONLY knows how to knit slippers LOL so I got myself a couple of books and watched some internet tutorials and I'm trying out different things. Lately, I've been knitting these arm thingys (lace up gauntlets is what the pattern calls them) for Katie and her friends. They are all the rage now so I hear lol. Katie and her friends all have different Sanrio characters that they like so they have been getting one striped gauntlet(arm thingy lol) and one with a Sanrio character - Katie got Hello Kitty and then there was Chococat for another of the girls and Batz Maru for another. Only one wasn't interested in a Hello Kitty character and so I made her one with her initial on it and other just plain. I'll post a pic of Katie's hello kitty shortly. Maybe I'll take the leap into sweaters sometime soon. Prepare yourself innocent victims mwahahaha ugly sweaters are in your future LOL.

I guess Tony didn't find my revenge very funny. Story of my life really. Sorry.

A Little Something just for Tony

BTW this is a real product.

Happy Friggin April

It isn't allowed to snow in April is it? I didn't think so but it did last night AND brass monkeys all over the city were clutching their genitals in fear. This sucks, I hate winter, winter weather, winter sports - basically anything cold and unfun. On the other (greedier) hand, I do like Christmas and my birthday LOL.

Recently around here it has been the mystically hunt for the "perfect" prom dress. Do you have any idea how hard that is??? Firstly cuz what I think is perfect and what Katie thinks are perfect are two waaaaayyyyy different things AND frankly I just don't have the cash to lay out the big bucks for an expensive dress and they are all expensive *sigh*. Well, I got the bright idea to look on craigslist, ebay and kijiji for cheap dresses that people are selling after maybe wearing once and I hit the jackpot! It's close to her favorite colour, long enough that her knees are covered (what can I say, she's modest) and - the best part- the dress had been purchased for a wedding but had never been worn. Forty bucks people, I laid a total of forty smackers and a fifteen minute drive to pick up a dress that (according to the tags) was originally a two hundred dollar dress!!! Worship me for I AM a shopping goddess LOL I'll post a piccie once I get a little more organized. Katie is happy, I'm happy and my bank account is happy lol. Now I just have to pay for the actual prom, shoes, hair, makeup etc etc etc etc. *sigh*

Well I've got lots more to tell but hell, i'm spreading it out so I have things to talk about LOL

BTW Tony, darling, I'll get you for posting my piccie. LOL
