CD: cooling heels at the cinema waiting for Cowboys and Aliens to start.
Had to goto a later performance, as nephew’s forced labour ‘job’ doesn’t finish till 3pm.
Tried to flop it and ended up on the other side of the green. Wow this is just like when I play real golf. 13 foot putt to save par.
Made it! Didn’t think I would. Still +3 for the day.
Yeah for a decent game Rhett. I guarantee it’s 100% better than I’d do
Lunch time!
Hole 11 is a 345 yard par 4. Short, but a lot of obstacles. Wind to my back at 8 MPH.
First shot, looked straight to me, but I ended up to the right of the fairway with a pretty substantial hedge in my field of view. 94 yards to pin, but hard to control hitting out of the rough.
Don’t believe it. Made it 11 feet from the hole, shooting for bird. Still a tough shot though.
So close, lipped the hole and fell short. Tapped it in for a par. Still +3 for the day.
If golf is a good walk spoiled, then what is Wii golf?
A good ass sit spoiled?
A way to avoid all that pesky “fresh air and exercise”.
And green fees.
Hole 12 is a 477 yard par 5. I’ve to get eagle here, but I don’t want to jinks myself. A bird would be nice too.
First shot was good, 280 yard drive or so. 187 yards to pin.
On the green in two! Another eagle attempt, but difficult 28 foot putt.
Got it within 1 foot of the hole and tapped it in for bird. +2 for the day.
Hole 13, another difficult par 4. 446 yards to the pin and obstacles to the right and left. The hole dog legs to the left.
I liked that shot. In the fairway and a clear 156 yards to the hole.
Second shot was not as good. Short of the green, but I missed the big tree to the left. Hoping for a close shot to the pin to save par.
Got it close, 7 feet, but slopes pretty hard to the right. Tricky shot.
Lipped it and tapped it in for bogey. Back to +3 for the day. I hope the other holes go better.
The leader of our official opposition just passed away from cancer. No matter what you think of his politics, it’s always sad when someone goes before their time
Hole 14 is a tough par 3. 147 yards, but severely up hill, as in 32 feet up hill. The tee off box sets behind a tall bunker, so you can’t see the hole from tee off position. Lots of trees and sand traps to avoid as well.
On the green, but hard sloping 19 foot putt for birdie.
Tweet, tweet
Don’t hit the bunny!
Who me? Never. :)
Argh, tapped it and it rolled down the hill off the green, chipped close and putted for one over. +4 for the day. I’d have to birdie the last four holes to end up even for the day.
The games I play aren’t the type that I can pause and Pan about
You would probably be better off with a daily gaming journal.
Hole 15 is again described as hard. 443 yards and par 4, the hole sets down 14 feet from where I’m teeing off. The announcer recommends a shot to the left.
On a related note, I ordered the super duper special edition a Skyrim today. Another $150 edition game. Hubby will be pleased
Neato!
I ended up hitting it straight instead, there was a pretty stiff 11 MPH wind pushing me left anyways. Ended up in the center of the fairway. 158 yards to go and it looks like several tree canopies between me and the pin as well.
So I “punched” it, hitting a low ball under the trees, made it to the green but long 43 foot putt for bird. Honestly I’ll be lucky to save par.
Nothing spectacular. Putted close and tapped in for par. +4 for the day.
Hole 16 is an easier 341 yard par 4. Let’s hope so.
Played the first shot safe with a 3 wood. A driver shot could have pushed it into the ugly. 106 yards, clear shot to pin.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before. On but long putt for bird. 36 foot level shot.
Putted to two feet and then tapped for par. +4 for the day.
Hole 17, 535 yard par 5. Eagle attempt? It is a very technical hole, so I would say, not likely.
Bounced it out of the rough (and back into the fairway) on the first shot, but 288 yards isn’t bad. 270 yards to hole. Hmmm… could possible hit the green with a 3 wood.
Well, to the side of the green, in the rough. Maybe I can hit it close?
8 feet for bird.
Bird! +3 for the day.
Final hole. Par 5 478 yards to pin. Eagle? Let’s see how the first couple shots play out.
269 yards. 263 to the green. The announcers said it was an okay shot. =P
I’m on! 26 foot putt though.
Eagle! Finished with a +1 for the day. Much better than the +12 from a few days ago. Is it too early for the 19 hole?
It’s never too early for the 19th hole
Wiser words have never been spoken. LOL
And a few photos of my game.

^Could be.
Hubby’s on his way home!
In the process of moving offices. I have a lot of boxes.
… meanwhile in an alternative universe
“In the process of moving orifices. I have a lot of boxes.”
ditto, I will gladly hitch a ride in one of those boxes, if you’re going someplace cool.
I’m having to work from home for the short-term, before moving into an office building that looks more like a prison than anything else. :(

Well Cowboys and Aliens was pretty forgettable, with an oh so silly plot (gold mining..really?), but I’ve seen worst movies.
My nephew took his shoes off while watching the movie, I couldn’t smell anything, but the couple sitting front of us, move further along the row they were on…
Yeah, me too.
I’ll pretend that this is what JLH prison looks like.

I think I’ve discovered a new level of hell. Having your gums swollen and painful from the filling you had on Friday while listening to older people complain that they can’t use your services on the web because they don’t own a computer and how dare you take away their phone option. Oh yeah, and they spend xxx amount of money on your client every week. :(
That’s tough, cynful. :(

Words of wisdom: “No” can be a complete sentance
Meaning you don’t have to feel bad or explain why you said no
Very anoying thing in Pandora:
“I love this song!!!!!”
Check the play list
“Hey that dosen’t fit this list”
Crap what to do now…
Pandora (the big interface on the computer, not the phone app) allows you to choose that you like the song but that it belong on a different station. I was really happy when they allowed that, because all my stations had been in the process of becoming the same thing.
Now I just use Grooveshark because I can choose what I want to listen to, when I want to listen to it. No Pink Floyd or Beatles, but I can always listen to them on my phone or at home or whatever.
Reaper: the next thing to do is use Grooveshark. Not as a Pandora replacement, but as an accessory.
And btw: I almost missed this exchange from earlier, which is a shining example of what is best in life:

“Portions For Foxes” – Rilo Kiley
There’s blood in my mouth ’cause i’ve been biting my tongue all week.
I keep on talking trash, but i never say anything.
And the talking leads to touching,
And the touching leads to sex,
And then there is no mystery left.
And it’s bad news, baby i’m bad news
I’m just bad news, bad news, bad news
I know i’m alone if i’m with or without you,
But just being around you offers me another form of relief
When the lonliness leads to bad dreams,
And the bad dreams lead me to calling you,
And i call you and say “c’mere!”
And it’s bad news, baby i’m bad news
I’m just bad news, bad news, bad news
And it’s bad news,baby it’s bad news
It’s just bad news, bad news, bad news
‘Cause you’re just damage control
For a walking corpse like me,
Like you,
‘Cause we’ll all be portions for foxes.
Yeah, we’ll all be portions for foxes.
There’s a pretty young thing in front of you
And she’s real pretty, and she’s real into you
And then she’s sleepin’inside of you.
And the talking leads to touching, then the touching leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left.
And it’s bad news. I don’t blame you,
I do the same thing. I get lonely too.
And you’re bad news; my friends tell me to leave you,
That you’re bad news, bad news, bad news
You’re bad news,baby you’re bad news
And you’re bad news, baby you’re bad news
And you’re bad news
I don’t care i like you
And you’re bad news
I don’t care i like you
I like you
Look at that, a serenade from Van to kick off the day :)
And, yes, that Beero sequence needs to be permanently etched in Deadpan memory.
As a warning to others?
Oh definitely.
Ye are on da edge of de map, laddies.
Thar be beeros here.
Hey Deadpan
I’t morning. What more can I say?
A new I-tunes to download. I’m all a quiver
Okay, anybody on here (apart from Essbee) uses a Mac at home?
nope, sorry.
Yep.
Got a way of contacting you JJ?

yep – Mac user AND an AOL user … could I be any more cliche?
I’ve sent you an email JJ.
Just want to see if the problem of grabbing a file from my dropbox is O/S specific, it shouldn’t be.
There, kicked hubby out the door. Now I get to do an on-line course for work. It doesn’t get any more exciting than this.
My course is “initializing”. I’m bored already.

This episode of Deadpan has been brought to you by the miracle of BEERO.
Has work spoiled the day for you? Do you just need some time to relax and enjoy yourself? Then sit back, and open a fresh BEERO. This magical elixir will wash away the day’s troubles, leaving you refreshed and happy.

BEERO — the magic drink.
There, now I know what to do if there is a disaster in my home. I mean work.
I think I’m about to get kicked out of my convention group for creating too much controversy. Controversy is fun
Bunny, what’s your username on Words with Friends?
Sorry Amy, got caught up in work and stuff. Sent you a new game now. I’m EnerBunny
No worries. Thank you!
I should be heading to work instead of playing games, too.
Interesting tech thing.
In a few weeks I am going to have to do some driving in a big city that is completely foreign to me … so I am using google earth to “virtually” drive the route ahead of time … familiarize myself with what the intersections will look like and such … and I have noticed that occasionally there will be a sign or billboard that has part of it blurred out.
This amazes me and 2 questions pop to mind -
1) What in the world do they feel like they have to censor? They don’t blur the image of the people on the street so why blur the face of the model on the billboard? What were the words the blurred out on what I thought was an informational sign? Hmmmm
2) Did some one really sit down and scan every one of these street view picture looking for this “non-viewable” content? Do they have a piece of software that can recognize just these little bits of images that they don’t want me to see … and then accurately JUST blur that bit.
I am agog at it all.
I believe that Google uses a software face recognition program to blur faces, which may explain why faces get blurred out on billboards. I’m not sure what other things rise to the level of getting blurred. I have observed that shows on the Discovery channel will often blur out t-shirts that have advertising on them. I guess they don’t want to give out free advertising. Not sure if the same thinking applys to Google.

Hola from NYC, Deadpan. I’m gonna be rather quiet the next couple weeks Don’t anyone doth protest too much…
Hope you all are/have been well.
Take care of yourself out there!
I thought that was “Hill Street Blues” ?
Wasn’t that ‘let’s be careful out there’?
Ah, you’re correct sir.
“Let’s be careful out there? You’re supposed to say kick some cylon ass!”
Have fun, Lo Pan!
So is this trip business or pleasure?
Yes!
His business is pleasure!
I’m afraid if your going to Wall Street to collect souls … your going to be mighty disappointed.
Walk was nice. Already starting to get too warm though.
Now it’s time to make some hummus.
Don’t make me tired, Mr. McGee. You wouldn’t like me when I’m tired.
OK Bunny, you can’t leave us hanging like that. What controversy are you stirring?
Some of the group want to bid on bringing in the Aurora’s. The Cdn version of the Hugo’s. I’m strongly against it and said so. Now I seem to have created two factions, those for and those against. It will be interesting to see who wins.
Ah but why are you strongly against it?
Hummus made. Although I’m upset I forgot to get a red pepper when I went shopping earlier in the week so I had to make regular old hummus.
Now I have some me time so, as usual, it’s time to open a book
CR: Mrs. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWrNyVhSJUU
I had a weird occurance at the house yesterday. The large vanity mirror behind the lavatory sink in my bathroom came unglued from the wall. It dropped five inches and wedged itself behind the lavatory. It didn’t break, but now I’m trying to figure out who to call to remount it. Glass company, handiman? I suppose I could try and fix it myself, but I think I would need one of those suction cupped tools for moving large sheets of glass.
Isn’t something happening to the bathroom mirror a sign of a haunting?
Could be, I just need to make sure whatever adhesive I use to remount it with is ghost resistant. Funny thing about that is my wife reported some odd things happening to her when she traveled to a hotel in Fort Worth last month. I wonder if it followed her home.
My vanity comes unglued all of the time.
You might want to move your bed away from the wall.
That’s a poor reflection of your character.
Consider the other things we had to get fixed on our house, I wouldn’t be surpised if the mounted the mirror with wall paper paste.
First week of classes. All hell is breaking loose.

It appears that the East Coast earthquake (!) was not harmful – - I hope our East Coast friends are all ok.
Lo Pan!!!!
My grasp of Canadian geography is limited at best, so asking TEB if she felt the Tremors from an Earthquake in Toronto might be a dumb question.
Yup. Dumb questions. We’re (almost) on opposite sides of the continent.
Thank you for letting me down gently TEB…
Insert smiley here —->
This is why You shouldn’t trust Facebook status updates..sheeesh.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/usc0005ild.php
Nothing in AZ. I don’t think it touched anywhere in Canada, not even the eastern provinces. TEB is pretty far out west.
Apparently there was also a fairly big one in Colorado last night?
There are certainly quite a few people on Facebook in the Toronto area claiming to have felt the tremor, I had forgotten how far west TEB was.
I hear it was felt in Ontario, so it was probably felt in some of the eastern provinces as well.
Alberta is further from the quake than I am, so TEB probably didn’t feel anything. Alberta is above Montana and is next to British Columbia, which is the west coast of Canada.
If I get married again:

I would love to be this clever.
Anyone feel the earthquake?
UsedHair, Nomad Scry, and Lo Pan must have.
NS is reporting that it’s his first Earhquake on twitter.
Jesus Christ, I leave one earthquake to get to another????
Someone, or some :cthulu: , *loves* you. ;)

Yes well, you are, Lo Pan … and all that.
My symphony season tickets came in today’s mail. Woo Hoo!
I don’t think you are allowed to say “Woo Hoo!” if you attend The Symphony. They may ask for their tickets back.
If I can’t say it, can I do it instead
So far the biggest suffering from this is being endured by the TV news outlets who have gone to DEFCON BAZILLION on this and so far (thankfully) have nothing to show. There all on their zillionth interview with a person who can add nothing more than “Yes. I felt it.”
Let’s hope this continues to be nothing more than a novelty event.
Meanwhile a Hurricane bares down on the Carolinas.
A friend of mine got married this week and told nobody about it. We all found out when he and his girlfriend changed their facebook status. They went on holidays last week and haven’t come back yet. I always thought eloping was for the young. I guess I was wrong.
Good for them.
On a more sombre note, one of Mother’s relations whose husband had died, organised the funeral and told nobody about..
The point being the elderly show up youth as amateurs when it comes to weird notions.
Let’s go and show up some youth, Van
That is sad
DEFCON BAZILLION is so going to be our. . . oh, never mind.
If there was ever a convention for the fans of Def Leppard, it should be called Def-Con.
Isn’t that a criminal that can’t hear?
Can’t make Def-Con, I’d already made plans to attend Chaka Khan Con that same weekend.
It’s too bad my kitty doesn’t like these things. I so want to get her this

The quake was only felt as far south as North Carolina (That’s three states up from me Van). I felt nothing here.

UH, I thought I saw someone say it was felt in Miami, but they might have meant Ohio.

Van, funny about geography. We watched this flick recently called Snow Cake. This British actor (guy who plays Snape) goes to Canada to visit someone and books his flight MILES and MILES away from the person and ends up driving for days. I won’t spoil the movie – was a good one – but it was funny geography-wise.
FYI – no unusual shaking occured in Texas today.
Though, that didn’t stop the local news from sending me a text about it.

Hubby decided I needed a break. Currently at Heritage Park waiting to go on the paddle wheeler
http://www.heritagepark.ca/
While I’ve come to heritage park once or twice a year, it’s been years since iv been on the boat
Cool!
After the boat, hubby wants to go to the old timey can’t store. There’s a kid in all of us
Ugh! Can’t = candy. Stupid auto-correct
The can’t store is closed. Always.
That does seem old-timey.
http://tinyurl.com/64ag4em
Boat was relaxing. Now on the steam train waiting for it to depart
Haven’t made it to the candy store yet.
Full-sized steam train?
Yup. You need to come out. You and the kids would both enjoy!

Back from Heritage Park. We finally made it to the candy store but didn’t buy any candy. We got ice cream cones instead. Then we got some sourdough bread from the park bakery.
Tired now but relaxed.
