Sugar lumps.

One of my fave tv shows is Flight of the Conchords.
The second season started this month, and it's friggin awesome.
Here is a song from the most recent episode.
Caution: It's a catchy tune, you might find yourself singing about your sugar lumps, even if you don't have any!

Music is not my boyfriend....a compilation of music.

Remember that song? I HATE IT!

BUT... what I'm not missing is a great compilation of music that I've posted on my blog for the past 2.5 years. I've been labelling everything. When I post a song, I label it under music, when I post something I think is funny, I label it under funny. So by clicking on music, it will take you to everything I've ever posted under the label of music for the past 2.5 years. Which I love. Of course this does not include all my faves. But it gives a really good indication of what I've been listening to.
P.S. some videos may not work on youtube anymore.....but still, worth checking out.

For me, it takes me back to various moments of my life over the past 2.5 years.

I started listing some of the moments, but it got really lame quickly. So I decided to stop, cause only I will feel those moments, you won't, unless you're Erinne Henry...cause she was there.

BUT you might discover some really wicked tracks.....

MUSIC -ERIN'S POSTS

My most recent obsession.

Ya, been rockin' out to The Airborne Toxic Event for the past few months on my iphone......they were on Letterman a couple weeks ago. Fuckin fantastic! I totally love how the violinists are completely rockin' out around the 2:38 point. The chick, needs to work on her stage face. Seriously. Jesus! Ok I just realised that the video is kind of blurry so the awful face she makes is hard to see.

Dear fellow emailers,

Why do you insist on forwarding those stupid, sappy email forward things?
Sometimes they have a nice, incredibly cheesy message, followed by a death threat.

WTF is that?

If you don't forward this to 10 people in the next 3 minutes, something really bad will happen to you, or someone you love will die. Seriously? The internet knows if I don't forward it, and it is somehow able to end someones life? Or jinx me? Come on.

Take this one for example:

I like you for who you are to me...a true friend. And if I don't get this back, I'll take the hint.
Something good will happen to you tomorrow between (1:00pm - 4:00pm)

Ok, what kind of genious did it take to write this.....I like you for who you are to me?

Second, why the eff would I send the exact same email back to you, if that were the case, the email would continue to go back and forth between us forever, cause then I would expect it back, now wouldn't I? Then you, then me, then you, etc. And to top it all off, something good will happen to me tomorrow? between 1pm and 4pm?

I'm still waiting....

Bored.

Ya so I haven't been blogging much lately. I'm bored and don't have anything to write about. I guess if I'm bored, I could blog and that would entertain me, but I'm kinda stuck. I want to go on a mini vacation somewhere. SOON.
I'm thinking of going to Edmonton for a night or two in February. Just to check out the city and hit up the west edmonton mall. I guess it's about 3.5 hours from Calgary by bus.

I also want to head to Banff this month to go skiing. Woo hoo!

Work is alright, it's pretty boring. Same old crap, nothing really exciting, which is to be expected since I'm an administrative Assistant for an Insurance company. Yawn.

I live for the weekends these days, but then never do anything fun on the weekends. I need to change that. I need to look forward to more than just days off.

Word to your mother.

To this day...

I remember our conversation, over 6 years ago, you told me you could never listen to this song again, cause it made you cry, so hard....and I've never been able to listen to this song again, without crying so hard, for you.



After all these years, and at another concert, in Toronto, spring 2008. I cried again, so hard for you.
And to be honest, I'm not sure if I can ever change this, for the rest of my life.
You and that conversation will be forever ingrained in my mind.

Let's train our 5 year olds to be skanks.

Freak dance!

How fun would it be to be makin this video.
Love how trashy the chicks are!

WTF?

'It's no kidney stone,' doc tells N.L. woman moments before she gives birth

Tara Brautigam, THE CANADIAN PRESS

PORT DE GRAVE, N.L. - When Juanita Stead complained of shooting pains in her lower back on New Year's Eve, she thought she was passing a kidney stone.

Instead, she was giving birth to a baby boy.

The eastern Newfoundland woman says she didn't realize she was pregnant until she was rushed to Carbonear General Hospital that night and an X-ray didn't turn up any kidney stones.

"When I went back to emerg, the doctor was waiting for me and he said, 'It's no kidney stone.' He said, 'You've got a baby ready to be born,' " said the 36-year-old Stead.

"I said, 'No, that can't happen' . . . I told him he had the wrong X-ray file."

Six minutes later, seven-pound, 12-ounce Nicholas was born breech at 12:31 a.m. local time on New Year's Day, making him among the first babies born in Canada for 2009.

"He came out bum first," Stead said Wednesday, cradling the one-week-old child.

Doctors weren't able to carry out a caesarean section because of Nicholas's quick entry into the world, she said.

Hours before the sudden birth, Stead and her husband Terry, 35, went to her sister's house for a New Year's Eve family gathering.

As she explained her symptoms to Terry and her brother-in-law - who owns an ambulance service - the two men became increasingly convinced she was experiencing a kidney stone attack.

"Honest to God, I just don't have words to explain it," Terry said.

The Steads, who live in a two-storey home in the small outport of Port de Grave, N.L., say they had no reason to think Juanita was pregnant because she didn't experience the usual telltale signs, such as morning sickness and kicking from the womb. She says her menstrual cycle remained regular throughout her pregnancy.

"People have been saying to me, same as I've been saying, 'How could you not know you was pregnant?' " she said.

"Everyone is still in shock I think."

This isn't the first time a pregnancy caught the Steads off-guard.

Two-year-old Cameron was born six weeks premature in July 2006 in their home bathroom, weighing three pounds and 11 ounces. His birth was marred by complications and last September he underwent a bowel, liver and pancreas transplant at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

But the toddler now appears as rambunctious as any his age, running around inside the house and playing with his toys.

Nicholas is faring well also, sleeping and eating regularly despite growing attention from families, friends and the public, his mother said.

"Two little miracles meant to be."

Friends and family have provided them with toys and clothing for the new baby, because they discarded Cameron's old belongings months before Nicholas's birth, she said.

Pretty funny!

So I`m 29 now....

I`m not sure if I`m severely depressed cause I`m almost 30, or if I`m thankful that I have another year before I turn 30, to `get it right.` There`s a whole lot I want to do this year, it almost feels like turning 30 is the start of something new, so I feel like I have to get some shit together, fix some stuff up, and somehow prep myself for this whole 30 thing. I don`t know, really. I have a few goals. I think I`m too embarassed to write them down, they seem like goals that should have been done already, years ago. BUT they are mine, and I can`t hide them, I guess.

1. Finally get my license.
2. Start saving money.
3. Leave the country for a vacation.
4. Start school again.
5. Do something other than go to work.
6. Yoga.
7. Make more money.

Ah I`ll finish the rest later, I`m out of goals for now.
lame.
