RANT

Who was the brillant mastermind designer behind the Overwaitea Pharmacy? Its like a big "Heeeeeey to Everyone in the Produce Department, Hey there produce guy with ponytail, Hey mother of three, Hey friend-I-only-talk-to-when-Im-drunk... Just soooo everyone knows Im here at the pharmacy getting a prescription, and because the counter is so big I am forced to speak up and say, 'yessss Im here to renew my birth control. Yep thats me'. Riiight here wedged between the facial cleaners and the pre-washed spinach. "HIIIII!!"

Brutal.

GET WEIRD!!

Damn, do I ever love astrology and all that weird shit, and TODAY is a FULL MOON AND A LUNAR ECLIPSE!!!

Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Capricorn ~ June 26, 2010

What do Eclipse' Mean??

Eclipses, in astrology, are accelerators. They speed up events, issues, situations in our personal lives and demand for them to be dealt with.

Eclipses trigger necessary changes to one's journey in life. Because these changes are triggered outside of one's own volition, they are often harsh, sudden and undeniable. The initial shock evoke sadness, confusion, frustration, anger, worry and, possibly, depression. However, it is our reaction past the initial shock that defines how we will allow these eclipses to influence us.

....the eclipse already happened before dawn today. So you cant see it anymore.

Smokey The Bear told you!

So ya, even with all the rain there has already been a forest fire near Fernie on the Alberta border side, it has already been put out and deemed man made. Idiiioooots.
Half of all forest fire are human caused, DOH!

Put this in your phone or write it somewhere:
To report a forest fire from a cell phone dial *5555

And if you have a fire on the beach, make sure you totally put it out and not just cover it up, cuz if someone comes along and walks over the hidden coals...they will have 2nd-3rd degree burns on their and wont be able to walk. - saw it on the news last night, some 3 year old walk on one, sad.

Just Gorge.

I vote Fernie for most beautiful ditches and dumpsites in Canada, loving all the buttercups!

Question, if a house is empty, is it okay to steal the peonies and/or rhubarb from the yard for your personal use?

There is no one to ask and they are going to waste!?!?! what should I do? Admire from afar? Steal it and use it!?

Mysterious

To, You know who you are,

The flowers are beautiful, thank you very much.

I dont plan to stop bloggin anytime soon.

WAKE UP

Today I just wanna give a big shout out to EK Radio, I know it has a new name, but it will always be EK Radio to me. Anyway, back to the shout out, I dont know who is out there really listening to it, but those guys seem to be giving it all they got for what they have, you know what Im saying? This morning my clock radio alarm went off, as I lie in bed I was totally informed about shit going on and local ads that were informative as well, then they played Billy Joel "We didnt start the fire" and I dont know about you, but THAT is a song that'll kick your ass outta bed. Sun was shining thru the window and I sprang up!! "WE DIDNT START THE FIIIIIRAAAAHH"!!!

Thats a good song to wake up and get you going. What songs pull you outta bed and get you going?

Alcohol Reveals Bulshit Empowerment

Sometime ago, I was invited to a friends 30th Birthday party. I went and expected to get caught up in the crazyness that was planned to happen on the pub crawl. Everything was going great, I being the youngest of the crew was happy and empowered to be surrounded with 10 thirty-something babes. All of them were successful in their careers, had great physique, and seemed to me, overall happy with life. I looked up to them all, "wow", I thought, "being in your 30s doesnt seem that bad at all, these chicks are rocking it! They got their shit together, they know who they are, they know how to have fun! Age means nothing, I cant wait to be wise like these broads." But then something kinda turned for the worse for me.
The drunker these chicks got, the more the empowered fun turned to getting validation from men to prove that they "still got it". This meant going on the hunt for men to buy all their drinks that night so they could 1. Feel cool and hot and young again, and 2. to save money.
Im like, "wtf! Seriously? We have to flirt and whore out for a $5 drink so you can feel young and hot???" Uhhhh can I just buy my own drink then?
Sure enough the gaggle of 30-somethings found a half-cut well dressed man, with just a little flirtation he proceeded to buy us all a round of jager shots AND a round of whatever we were drinking. THEN, the gaggle took the drinks and literally ran away laughing. Leaving me standing there. The poor guy realizes what just happened and prety much swears at me and is like, really pissed. So, FML, I feel bad and EMBARRSSSED, am I wrong here?????, and I calm the man down. Im like "buddy its okay, Im Schoolyard, hows your night going?" I end up having to talk to this - what I now find out is a detective with the local city police - for like 30 minutes to humor this guy that the girls or I am interested. And I never WAS but that was soooo lame I had redeem my friends bad behaviour in my head or something!!! I feel bad for these guys, he did everything right and that gaggle of women just treated him like a game. Awwwww jeez dont make me feel bad for guys in a bar!!!
What I realized after that night is that, doesnt matter if women are in the thirties, all that insecure shit just follows the ones that cant kick out of it in their 20s. Brutal. After all the leaps and bounds feminism has taken, after all the Oprah episodes and Carrie Bradshaw moments we STILL need a man's attention to make us feel good about ourselves? Really? Reeeeeeeeeallllly? Cmon. Get it together!

Ladies, I think the rule is, if a guy buys you a drink, yes I think means you have to talk to him and if you dont want to, dont accept the drink. Fucking have some class. Buy your own damn drinks. You cant be a old-fashioned one day and then Post-modern the next, its too confusing for the dating scene.
And ladies one more other thing I just gotta say, if a guy does approach you in a bar in a respectful manner, go easy on him, walking up to a beautiful lady is really intimidating okay and you never know about a dude unless you chill out and give him a chance, even if its just a small chance. They just wanna find love and sex too, juuuuust like us.
Ahhhhh okay that being said - If a dude is actin' like a foo', you owe him nothing.

goodnight!

Island Lake Lodge opens Friday June 18th! Ya lunches on the patio, ya wicked staff, ya cocktails on the deck, ya amazing food, ya big trees, ya wine cellar, yaaaaaaaa!!!

Shred Kelly To Release CD at Party With Good People

Shred Kelly is putting out a CD folks. They are having a party to celebrate and kick out their summer tour of roadtrip insanity. You really are getting a lot for the $5 advance ticket that can be purchased at the Fernie Liqour Store. You get a sick concert from a band that is from Fernie that is good enough to put out a CD and take it on tour from BC to Newfoundland and back, and then the Party All The Time Machines are djing the after party AND there are appys if you get there earlier enough to grab some. Not bad, not bad. Oh and some guy Greg Grant is performing in there as well. Saturday June 19th. If you dont get a advance ticket its gonna be $7 at the door. Grand Central Hotel.

As Sage would say, "Why not?" http://www.myspace.com/shredkellymusic

Wake Up Call

This Thursday morning prepare to be rudely awakened at 5-6am. The 2010 Fernie Secondary Grads will be doing thier traditional honking convoy of drunkedness. For those not familiar with this, every grad year the grads get loser pissed and their parents or DDs drive them around at like 5am in a massive long convoy of cars honking and screaming around all the streets in Fernie. Thursday morning June 17th. Beep Beep. Be a good sport and walk out side and wave and cheer them on. Suckers are entering the adult world.

Warning

Okay, while im on the topic of healthier options, did you know Mott's Clamato Juice has MSG. Its listed as its 4th ingrediant!!! EWWWWW this is a major bummer for me. Thats just effing nasty. I even found a Facebook Group petitioning for Mott's to rid Clamato of the disgusting MSG. Join Here

Bun

I have found a new Hot Dog Bun! Its from the Presidents Choice "Blue Menu" products at Extra Foods. (Yes i shop at Extra Foods, I like not running into EVERYONE sometimes). I really like the Blue Menu stuff, all the food that are either low sodium, low fat, low calories, or just overall a better healthier option is labled as the Blue Menu. Even though hot dogs are not a healthier option ha ha, I really hate a bulky bun and this fabulous new bun is sleek and sexy for a bun, dont you think!?

SCHEDULE IS UP!

Some People's Kids

Its come to my knowledge that Rotary Park is FUCKING SCARY place to hang after dark. 3 grown men were jumped by a pack of teenagers. I kid you not. The three men had to fight them off, run away into the Annex, hide in a garage with the lights off till the cops came. The kids are crazy and violent. I had now idea that walking past Rotary Park on a Thursday night could turn so Cranbrooklyn. Neighbours of the area confirm that pack of teens are in there till dawn and drug related items are found in there daily. Be careful Fernie, dem teenagers could be be teen werewolves, or just so high on meth they THINK they are werewolves and that could be dangerous for real.

Greenilicious!

Just snapped this pic 2 sec ago. Have you noticed how green Mt Fernie is? I feel like Im living in Jurassic Park, minus all the dinosaurs and stuff tho. Such a beauty of a day!

Endangered Pizza

ALERT ALERT!!! If you havent already stockpiled your shrimp you should do so now, the Gulf oil spill is gonna create a shrimp shortage! Nooooooooooooo!! Yes its true!
That means my favorite dish at my favorite restauant is in danger!! Cajun Shrimp Pizza at Boston Pizza is on the endangered list! *tear

In Love With A Brown Man

I never ever heard of this Azi Ansari fellow, he hosted the MTV movie awards last night and I fell in love. Hes the coooolest! Here's my fav skit!

FESTY

Interesting, new LARGE scale musicfest coming to BC, only LARGE scale one available in BC cuz Pemberton is still on hiatus and Virgin cancelled theirs. Nothing announced yet, but if you follow them on twitter you can be the first to know @LiveAtSquamish.
Whatever this is, its going down Labour Day long weekend. Im cuuuurious.

And speaking of music fests, the ball is finally rolling for Fernie, Aug 2011 yo. FINALLY!! Even Cranbrook got themselves a festival this year. Its country fest of course, so the East Kootenays was still wide open for an awesome fest and it looks like Fernie is on it. High Five!

Jus cuz

Shockingly Delightful

Woodbridge Robert Mondavi Sav Blanc is on sale at the government liquor store for $12.99 and my my my, shockling perfect for BBQ chicken. So good!

Bullshit

Okay, first of all Tim Hortons should not be bragging about these "New Soft Buns", because they really arnt all that soft. Secondly, these buns still are as crunchy on the outside like the former crotchedy smalll and taller ones. They still scrape and hurt the top of your mouth. If Tim Hortons wants to know what a soft bun is, oh I will show you a soft bun! ...the buns that come out of my moms automatic bread maker are soft, really soft. Thats a soft bun. The only thing different with these new bunds are that they are wider. Fuck wide hard buns yo.

Support

Today is the Relay for Life! 11am - 11pm

This event is very near and dear to me, I hope if you can make it down and show some support in anyway that you can. www.cancer.ca

In a nutshell, this cancer fundraiser is for the Canadian Cancer Society. The money goes towards, Research AND Prevention AND Support AND Information, not just research.
We raise the money so that basically one day, perhaps even in my lifetime cancer will not be a death sentance, it will be something that people will know they can prevent or overcome if it should strike them. I hope in my lifetime cancer will come to be a word like diabetes. Sure when you get diagnosed with diabetes it sure sucks are you are sure bummed out but you automatically know you wont die, its just something you'll have to deal with, but lives wont be lost.

This song is for all the cancer survivors out there... Its just in my head today and it seems fitting. You ROCK!!

Wasted

Ahhh geeeeez, you know who is really starting to piss me off? MIA.

Dear MIA,

I get that you are very finger-on-pulse policitally and socially for a musical artist. I get that you believe that shock value is they way to spread your message. I get that you are speaking out for what you believe. I get that you are a strong independant woman. But seriously lady, you had me up until the Born Free Video (which is still sitting very wrong with me), you had me at your talented music, but your childish behaviour towards your unevitable critisim makes me believe you are just as transparnet as some of the neon mesh pairs of pants you wear on stage - to obvisouly make another kind of statment haha. Are you still trying to prove yourself after Diplo dumped you. Thats just sad. Hunny, fuuuuck, you were doing sooo good, a good strong female policital message spreader just like Bono! Buuuut ya, now you have made yourself into a laughing stock and your message lost. What a waste.

Why I am happy I left America.

CRAZZZYY IM SCARED!!!
