One day back and a Two-Four down

Once upon a time there was a little baby who didn’t have a name, until her Daddy went to the mall and bought a little pink t-shirt with four letters on it. The four-lettered baby, named after the shirt, liked to sleep. The baby slept all day every day, a baby after her mother’s heart. Her Mommy, who loved her very much even though she had requested not to see her lil babe once born, had to constantly check on the baby to make sure she was breathing -it wasn’t normal for a baby to sleep this much. She must have slept the entire first year away, which may explain a few things. Then the baby grew up. Not much changed in those growing years – she still wore pink t-shirts with writing on them and people often called her four-lettered names. Her Daddy became Big, and the dog was also there to help the Mommy, who often felt Bound, and before anyone knew it – The Babe was off to University where she would sleep threw fire alarms and almost miss a few flights. It seemed her sleeping habits still shaped her life. So when our precious little gem moved overseas, it was no surprise to the world that our baby would sleep for 24 hours straight to avoid jetlag. Besides a few bed aches, a classic 24 hour nap does the body good. (Not the first time I've done it!)

Before I left home, as Red Leader was driving me to the airport, we pulled over in Enoch, a trendy little local village, and met some friends on the side of the road. Here are some great pics! Thanks for the lift Red Leader, and what luck that I ran into some good old friends.

In other news, this morn…err…afternoon when I woke up, I met Jbooks in town and we caught the preview screening of Borat. It was hilarious. We laughed a lot. There were a ton of older people in the audience (like 30 years plus! Yikes!) which makes me ask the following question: WTF?!? I also heard a rumour that they have had to pull the movie in the States because they are afraid no one will get it. Maybe someone can shed some light on that situation. Regardless, it was a great flick. I topped off the evening with some brews with the flatties!

By the way – for anyone in Alberta that spent the past five weeks listening to JP and I sing that techno song to you to see if you knew it - you know, “DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DOOOOOOOOOOODODODODODODODODODODOOD DO DO DO DO DO” - Well, miraculously JP found the title and its “The Launch” by DJ Jean. So BAM! How do you like them apples?

It’s good to be back!

    Emm. Glad your back and safe.

    A few comments from my evening TONIGHT:
    -It wasnt what I expected
    -A few tearful moment that I think only you and I would cry over.
    -Some great tunes played at remarkable times to set that mood just right (think shooting gunn or carrying a body)
    -I cried on my way home.
    That is all I will say.
    I MISS YOU MARISSA!!!!

    I object to the notion that Borat will be pulled here. People are eating it up (huge hype too: Borat on Letterman, on SNL etc. -- Em, you might want to search for that on the SNL web page). On PTI yesterday, one of their "toss-up" questions was: "Who is the better Sasha Cohen, the figure skater Sasha Cohen, or Sacha Baron Cohen?"
    The effin' Brits think that everyone in America are like the Southern half-wits that Borat punks, but it ain't true.

    Ok, thats what I figured. Cause when I was in North America there were previews all the time and there seemed to be a lot of hype. Ok, I will spread the word. Thanks for clearing that up El Oso.

    JUJU - I will DL The OC as soon as possible. Thanks for the tip!

    I know, you're right BG! I should have called you. Although in my singing travels, I've noticed that without JP's back-up vocals people had trouble recognizing the song. I have no idea how JP sampled the track without me. One of life's many mysteries.

    Isn't it such a good song? They play it at every Oilers game...

    Dear Blogger.com,

    Yesterday I wrote the funniest post ever on the very famous 'the Emm" blog. It was brilliant, witty and quite entertaining. When I logged-in to post, I received an error message and lost the text. Disappointed, I tried to be as funny and post again. Again, error message. At this point your website offered a challenge. Against my better judgement, I tried to challenge your site and post one more time. Foiled AGAIN. I would like to express my disappointment and would suggest that in the future you not ruin someone's evening by spending an hour trying to post.

    Signed

    Just heard from El Oso that Borat was sold-out on the weekend in NYC. So....those Brits have no idea what they are talking about.
