Spring Has Sprung Then Withered

I wonder if spring will actually stay for longer than 36 hours before another mini-snowfall. Calgary has such screwball weather. My baby tomato plants won't have a proper youth if they are kept inside while they are growing up!
Anyways, sorry it's been so long since the last post, I've been preoccupied.
Spring session has started. General Studies 300. Ya. The reading list burns my eyes and the subject matter cooks my brain.

I got a new cell phone! Which is awesome. The first one I got failed, so when I got back from the cabin, we took it back and got a new one, which works awesomely. It's an LG Keybo in black.



The angonizing and debilitating fungus that sucks the very life and soul out of me and its very presence makes me want to shove bamboo violently under my fingernails, slam my head in a car door, and jump out of a 28 story building while running a razorblade across my tongue had her birthday yesterday. Oh and she is also know in some circles as Connie; my sister. Don't get me started...

Anyways, my birthday is on the 28th and I'm kinda excited. I'm getting old...
I am looking forward to clubbing with my friends though! That should be fun.

Finale of American Idol was on Wednesday. I'm so glad Kris won. I was getting so annoyed at Adam's constant screaming, it's not a nice sound to listen to.
I've started to watch this season of The Bachelorette. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's addictive.
The House MD finale was on, not last Monday but the Monday before. SO GOOD! Oh my goodness, I can't wait for next season! It's not fair that the writers of a TV show have the power to generate such anticipation in the everyday public. Too much power, if you ask me...

Here's an artist I'm really into right now: Teddy Thompson.



And here's Sacha Baron Cohen as Bruno. Love him!



Ok.

Satanic Housewives

Here it is. From me to you (awesome Beatles song, by-the-way). Some advice.
Don't make the same mistake I did.
Do not, under any circumstances, walk through the "clean-white-sheets" section of a Home Outfitters while holding a strawberry Jugo Juice. All of the little old conservative housewives in that store burned me with their stares of disapproval. I think they may have stolen my soul...
Oh, and for God's sake, don't stir it vigorously!! Also, don't put it down anywhere! I can only imagine what their reaction might have been if I had actually spilled it on something. Holy crap, they probably would have had an aneurysm, or at least mauled me and gouged my eyes out with the keys to their navy blue mini-vans.

Well, that was just today.

However, as I promised a few days ago, I am obligated to tell you about what happened with the friends at dinner last Saturday. Well, me and my friend Tif, we decided to prank call our other friend (it was just the three of us at dinner). So the day before the dinner we called her once, and the day of the dinner we called her again. And by "we" I mean "me", but Tif was certainly a co-conspirator. I called her on her iPhone both times and pretended to be from a fictional casting agency we dubbed "The Elizabeth Jordan Casting Agency". Each time I was a different character. The first time I was "Jenna" with a British accent, and the second time I was "Andy" with a "New York -ish" accent. They were both looking for a one "Devin Parcell". Both characters were fairly stubborn and refused to believe that they had a wrong number. She didn't know it was me at all!! Well, it all went perfectly smoothly, and we were planning on telling her at dinner that the calls were me. However, when we told her, she didn't find it even remotely hilarious! Can you believe it?!! Maybe we have an annoying sense of humour but both me and Tif found it extraordinarily funny. Oh well, you can't win all the time.

Anyways, I've just recently planted little tomato plant seeds. I can't wait until they germinate so I can repot them and stake them. Oh my, I think my thumb is turning green...

On a final note, I found these videos on YouTube last night. I was looking for a video for "A Fifth of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy, which led me to watching a video for how to do The Hustle, which led me to these. These are inmates in a prison in the Phillipines and the warden uses dance for rehabilitation. There are a bunch of other ones, but these two are my favourite. Enjoy!








I know what you're thinking and yes, the one that looks like a chick... is a dude.
The "Thriller" one is my personal fave.

And now, in the words of Porky Pig...
Ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee..
That's all folks!!

Out and About

Well, I'm finished all of my exams! WOOT! The English one really sucked, I know I didn't write enough, but I don't particularly care anymore.

Had a fun day playing musical shots with friends on Thursday. "Across the Universe" is ten times more interesting and psychadelically more trippy when you have a shot every time a new song comes on (Note: there are about 33 songs in "Across the Universe"... Ya). We also watched "Rent" and I cried.

Yesterday, I returned some old textbooks for a meager fee, then I saw "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". It was pretty good. Hugh Jackman was hot. I think I will like it more once I watch the other X-Men movies. Then, I went to work. Fairly uneventful, but not bad.

I plan on doing absolutely nothing for the next two weeks until my spring session start (May 14 - General Studies 300). The prof for that class sounds terrifyingly enthusiastic about it and that really scares me.

I've also been watching seasons of "30 Rock". Pretty funny show actually. I love Devin Banks (Will Arnett), and his hilarious "gay-ness". A very close second in the running for my favourite character on that show is Kenneth the Page. Oh the naivety!

Going out tonight after work to dinner with friends. That should be fun/interesting. I will bring you updates on a particular aspect of the evening (that has taken a certain amount of premeditation and preparation) that I think you will find hilarious (whoever you are).

Blurg.
