Closing music …
Once again a big thank you to special guest Ken St. Andre.
Morning pan. Back from the family visit. Hope all is well here, since I certainly don’t have time to catch up on the comments.
BTW, I love sushi. Sushi equals sexual deviancy? I don’t seem to have a problem with that either. ;)
Picked up some Coffee Crisp and Aero bars while in Canada. Made with real yummy sugar. :)
You know how I always say my cat is a schmo. I think hubby agrees

Jack: Did you know The Arcade Fire’s new album is for sale @ Amazon for $3.99?

Oh, I totally love the Coffee Crisps, ditto! They are sooo delicious!!!
Finally caught up on email…
Cj: Yep. One of my favorites. There’s one store around here that sells them, but they are expensive. Much better to stockpile them and savor them until the next trip. :)
No stockpiling needed ditto. All you have to do is send me an e-mail whenever you have a craving.
SWEET!!!!!
And the new Aero bubbles. Awesome!
Have you tried those?
Off to the store.
Later Panites!
Dunno if aero bubbles are different in the UK, but I still think Maltesers beat them for me..if only cos you can suck all the chocolate off and then let the crunchy bit dissolve in your mouth.
Oh and remember, Nestles ain’t a nice company if you care who makes what you eat.

I’ve heard bad things about Nestlevil.
People must be really busy, if Van can get away with that 8:36 comment without snickering (npi).

Let’s see if the post office can lose these parcels.
According to the girl at the chocolate shop, the are hoping someone will buy them out and they won’t actually have to close down. It’s a unique situation because Callebaut is a person. Whomever purchases the shop will also need to hire him on to make the chocolate.
We’ll see what happens. It would be a shame to lose it.
I’ve started to play Deathspank. Limbo looks a little too disturbing for me.
Lunch Time!
Dang, just found out I was unfriended on FB by someone else. This one wasn’t harsh like the last one – some chick I went to HS with. Still, ouch!
Watching the latest Warehouse 13 episode in HD. You can really see how naff some of the CGI is in HD..
If it’s any consolation Essbee you are on my ‘people I trust’ list in FB.
I have a vomit bag if you need it..
As long as Callebautxiereulemieux continues making chocolate.
That sounds like something Mary Poppins would say.
She was born in 1617
Hopefully “naff” means “crappy” in which case I agree. I really like the show, but even I can see (and be annoyed) by the crappy CGI at places on my old CRT low-definition set. It detracts from my sense of immersion in the show and they would actually be better off without them.
Van, that’s awesome!
although to be honest, all the deadpanites on FB are on that list.
cough
A touch less awesome now. Maybe “cool.”
;)
Actually, EssBee is on my “Better Watch This One” list.
Wow, Google to cease production on Google Wave:

What a tease!
Grrrrrrr!
But seriously, fingers crossed it goes from potential to actuality..
Thanks Van. Email sent.
Good luck, Jack!
So Sunday night Darcy was finishing up the costume gig. I told the kids “We’re going out for breakfast for dinner,” intending to go to a Pancake House we’d never been to before. I loaded the kids into my car and started it.
Then, seeing the massive cloud of white smoke coming from the tailpipe, I shut off the engine and called Darcy.
Yup, not fixing that, after all the other expensive car repairs.
Sigh.
So yesterday we went and got a used Nissan Cube, for which we can barely afford payments on. Well, we can barely afford any car payment so it is not like we were being extravagant.
Time to reaquaint ourselves with ramen, though the kids still get to eat meat. And of course Fox knows he must eat his meat if he wants pudding, as heard on the Deadpan recently…
I too have Netflixed the palooza movie and sent it back with intent of watchin git soon, much like Rhettro…
I may or may not have done something similar to Rhettro but I have the movie and am ready to watch for paloozaing
OMGOMGOMG WTH Jack? Wazzup?
I think it’s funny how my mail order sushi business got turned into “Do you like sushi” :) I can mail some anywhere, no promises on freshness though
hmmm, what can clever Jack be setting us up for this time?
FUCK YEAH!
“merica Fuck yeah!!!!
hope the bed bugs )or worse( bite
reaper <==== needs sleeps
Night
“Would it help if I blew on you?”
:staying tuned:
