I always think this when I see the Depeche Mode CD cover on my iPod.depeche-mode-album-cover-totally-looks-like-a-game-of-pick-up-sticks

 

The Infected Mushroom album came out before Seether’s did and I immediately thought they looked the same when I saw Seether’s album cover.  It’s no surprise, since the artwork was done by the same guy.

Civil Twilight Sonic Session

Civil Twilight Autograph I went to my first Sonic Session last Wednesday, to see Civil Twilight. It was a little disappointing to see that the Pointe West Honda Listener Lounge (as cramped as it was) was still so empty, because Civil Twilight is so awesome!! At the same time, it was satisfying to know that I am one of the music elite who manages to stay ahead of the scene.

The boys talked a bit about themselves and the band and South Africa, why they moved to the States, commented on the flatness of Edmonton, and of course played some songs! (Soldier, Perfect Stranger, and Letters from the Sky)

Then there was an autograph and photo session.  I was having a bad hair day and I look like a dork.

I could have touched a beaver

IMG_5521I was at the park today when I saw something swimming towards me in the water. At first I thought it was an otter, but as it got closer, I could see it was much larger.  It swam past and then I forgot about it.

A while later, I was walking back to my car and guess who I met amongst the trees... a beaver! He (or she, I don't know how to tell them apart) was so close I could have touched him, but thought better of it.  If a beaver can nom nom nom through a big tree, then I wouldn’t want it nom nom nom’ing on my arm!

This beaver was nom nom nom’ing on the nice green grass.

Magical Star Cocktail

Today we went to Disney’s California Adventure park and had lunch with the princess at Ariel’s Grotto.  I found a little piece of Disney heaven, where they served adult drinks!  I got a fancy magical star cocktail.

Molly the Owl

In local California news, there is a barn owl in San Marcos, CA who is now world renowned.  Since February, she has a webcam set up on her, capturing her laying eggs last month, to their recent hatching.  Her name is Molly.

You can watch Molly, and read more about her, her mate McGee, and their hatchlings, here. http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox#more

Coconuts

If you were a nut, what kind of nut would you be?

Lots of coconuts at the store here.

Inside the Lego castle.

Lego Fox

In Legoland! This one didn't make any noise.

What does a fox sound like?

I didn’t know what a fox sounds like, so I googled “youtube fox sounds”.

State of Perpetual Mourning

If you were the betting kind, it would be safe to bet on any given day
that I will be dressed in black.

In an attempt to fuse more colour into my wardrobe, I tried on a bunch
of colourful garments. I come home with 5 new pieces, every one in
black. I tried so hard to find colour but the pieces I that fit best
didn't come in other colours. I tried!

It all started with a black cat

I found cat bottles, filled with wine – Moselland Riesling.  Initially, I was going to get the black one, because the empty bottle would make a nice decoration in my bedroom.  Then, I saw the pink bottle… how can a girl decided?  Who says she has to… I took home both!

Scheduled Insurance Coverage

I think I need to schedule insurance coverage on my nail polish collection.  I now have 89 different colours (not including the ones Amanda got me for Christmas, because I stuck those in a “safe place” that was even too safe for me to find).  When I usually spend $10-15 on a bottle, it really adds up!

For the love of ManGlaze

It’s totally not my style to be posting an advertisement like this in order to win a contest, but I really want to try out this ManGlaze nail polish (check out the kick ass bottle!)… There is a product giveway on one of the nail polish blogs I follow, and I’m hoping to win it.  Click the picture for more details.

Who pissed off the garbage man?

I came home last night to find the garbage bin in the middle of the
driveway. It is still sitting there this morning.

There are no tracks in the snow so it wasn't pushed over. The garbage
truck would have had to set it down there.
