Two Blogs in One Day!! That's Crazy Talk!!


Well, in a rare turn of events, I am blogging twice in one day. What will become of Homestarrunner? Well, I thought of this great blog that I should do while sitting on the porcelain throne (more than likely the same way Blogs were invented).

So, here it goes, I was thinking they should rank the certain blogs, or at least give the bloggers some sort of level to attain. For example, Spoke would be like a level 60 Blog Master, not unlike his level 50 Elf Warrior. Me on the other hand, I would probably be something like a level 5 Blog's Assistant, not unlike my level 5 Gnome Tinker.

And then there would be those who are somewhere in the middle with their level 20 Blog Captain. And, you would also be able to watch out for those creepy blogs, that could have a ranking so you know to stay away from them, ones like a level 35 Blog Necromancer, yikes! But then there is the wussie ones like a level 26 Blog Healer, (probably a hippy).

So this way when I am scrolling through blogs, I can say, woah! This guy is way out of my league, or hey! I can blog with this guy, nice guy and in my blog range. Or if I want a challenge I will be able to confront someone of a higher blog level than me and if I win, I could gain experience points or something. That's the way I would do it if I was in charge of the Blog Empire, (probably why I am not), Now I am off to Blogonia to replenish my supplies, I think I saw a level 7 Blog Monk that I could probably challenge.

The Best 50 Minute Soup and Sandwich Ever

Usually I don't mind if service is a bit slow, I can understand that it might take a bit to make fresh fries or a burger, but to wait 50 minutes for a bowl of soup (already sitting out on the buffet table), and a tuna salad sandwich is just a bit much. I get an hour for lunch, so that left me 10 minutes to eat, pay, and get back to work. The odd part is that we had the fastest waitress today, so it wasn't her fault, it must have been something in the back, or else they made me wait for Josh's order (burger and fries, which also should not take 50 minutes to make). We figured it was because we sat in the back, you get better service if you sit up front, but there was no room in the inn. It won't stop me from eating there (sorry Spoke), I really like the food and the people, but it is frustrating at times. And no, I don't think it is because i'm not a "beard", there were some of them there and they had to wait almost as long as I did, I watched to make sure, there were actually some non-beards who came in after them, sat down, got their food, and left, so i think your theory is a bit flawed, at least today it was. lol

I dislike 8th Ave. in downtown Calgary very much!!

So this last weekend, January 7th and 8th, my best mate Andy and his lovely wife Amy had their wedding reception at the Davonian (spelling?) gardens on 8th ave, AND, as a result everyone who wanted to stay at the Paliser Fairmont Hotel got a great rate on rooms. This was fantastic, the reception was brilliant the food was amazing and everything went well. The Hotel was awesome, I had a huge room all to myself, I spread all my belonging around the room, piled 13 pillows on the bed and watched football during the afternoon, it was great.

So where is the horrible catch in all this fun, well here it comes... wait for it....

Sunday morning rolls around, everyone met for brunch and hangin out and stuff and it comes time to leave. I go get my stuff, mom and dad are about 5 minutes ahead of me and are waiting in the parking lot, they parked beside my jeep. My dad Mikes me on my phone and wonders where I am, I say i'm on my way, and he says "It looks like someone tried to get in your jeep".... crap. I had actually thought about that very thing happening, but I didn't think it actually would. You see, I still have my soft top on my jeep, and i have had bad luck with convertible vehicles, people get jelous or something cause they always want to knife MY vehicles. So anywho, i get to my jeep and there is a nice hole in the driver side rear window, it has a smooth knife cut up the edge of the window part, and then a jagged cut back down across the plastic window, nothing was taken, nothing else damaged. I mean, all they would have had to do was unzip the side and take off the velcro and they are in the jeep. Very annoying. So I drove to Wal-Mart, bought some duct tape and put er back together, duct tape cures all.

I'm putting my hard top back on.... (although spring is just around the corner)
