Weekend update with Erin dot D!

Ok, so I guess I 'forgot' to do a weekend update, adventure's of the double E's and M.
Friday night was another night at the social. Erinne, Mayssan and I, super fun as usual.

Saturday I got a phone call from my friend Sandra asking me if I wanted to go to the Playdium with her boyfriend Sean and his bro cause she had to do her taxes that day. I still had about 70 credits on my Pladium card. Sweet. We rocked the playdium, I played a ton of racing games and spent most of the time in the rubarb as my little bro would say. I enjoy racing but I totally suck at it. I surfed, skiied, played air hockey with Sean and he kicked my ass, I even scored a couple of goals on myself. Frig-a-jig! I must say I had some pretty interesting conversations with those guys in the car! Holy Guacamole!

Saturday night we went to a house party with some people we work with at the Dufferin Grove Park, it was pretty fun. Had a couple of flaming shots of Zambuca. It buuuuurrrrns! Walked home and arrived there at a 'not so fun time, when you have to wake up at 9:00AM' to teach children to skate.

Sunday - somehow didn't wake up for my alarmS (yes I set 2 alarms) at 9:00am, but crawled out of bed at 10:35. Somehow managed to only be 15 minutes late for skating. Impressive, very impressive....(But you are not a Jedi yet!)

After skating I was walking to the bus stop with Erinne when she reminded me about the DJ dance party at dufferin grove park, which we had promised to attend the previous evening. SHIT. I was looking forward to going home and not moving for 8 hours. Instead??? We went to the park and drank beer out of plastic cups, walked around the rink, danced with our friend T-man the DJ, sat around a fire and had lots of smoke blow in our faces. All of this happened before 6:00PM. Erinne went home casue she was sleepy, sheesh she's the one who got me into this mess in the first place. Then Mayssan and I walked a bunch of blocks to Ted's place (downtown) with his friend Brandon while drinking 40's, danced our faces off at his place for the next 5 hours, even brought out a strobe light. Why is it that everyone's dance moves look so much better when a strobe light is involved. FUNNNN!

Then came the bar with the bluegrass band playing. Um dance party!!!! A bunch of friends from the park showed up and we dominated the dance floor with some sweet moves.
I was not planning on getting home that night at 3AM, having to wake up at 7:00AM for work the next day.

K so it was fun, but it killed me on monday, I thought I was going to die all day at work.
Good thing sunday dance parties at the park are over for the year....I can go back to 'doign nothing for 8 hours after skating on sundays'

V is for Virgin!

Easy E! N.W.A. Style

Ted: Dude, smell my hand.

Erin: (sniff) Oh shit man, you touched her armpit!!!!

Ted: Ya, that's sick, I'm going to wash my hands.

(Hi-five!)

Here comes the sun!

Memorable quote from yesterday's Dj Dance party in the park....

E2 busts out of nowhere....."All I know is, the sun can be a trampy whore sometimes."

Erinne, what did the sun ever do to you?

Do you remember any childhood songs?

So every now and then a song from my childhood will pop into my head. Today it was this one:
Swimming swimming
In a swimming pool
When days are hot
And days are cold
In a swimming pool
Left stroke
Breast stroke
Fancy diving too
Oh don't you wish you never had
Anything else to do...
BUT....
then it restarts...

There are so many, I'm going to post a few more that I remember.

Lundi matin le roi ,
la reine et le petit prince
sont venus chez moi
pour me serrer la pince,
mais comme j'etais pas la,
le petit prince a dit,
puique c'est comme ca
nous reviendrons mardi!

Then you would start over but instead of lundi you would say mardi and so on, this was, I guess, to learn the days of the week. CUTE!

Translation:
Monday morning, the king,
the queen and their little prince
came to my house
to shake my hand
but since I wasn't there
the little prince said
Since it's like that,
we will come back tuesday!

Another:

Meunier tu dors
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop vite
Meunier tu dors
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop fort
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop vite
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop fort
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop vite
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop fort

The last part of that song we would sing really fast and get faster and faster, that's all I remember. haha, gotta love french Canadian children's songs.

More to come...

He's definitely got the blues!

This is my fave blues singer. Freddie King, and it's not just cause he has the best "guitar faces" in the business, or the craziest shirts (check out the little guitars on his shirt) I like his style, I like their sound, I think he's great. This clip is from a concert in Sweden (1973) I have seen this entire video and it's pretty grand. "We go together like red beans and rice" - Freddie King.

Portishead 3?

I've heard that Portishead are making a new cd. This would make me the happiest girl ever. I have been listening to their first 2 albums and a live one for just about 12 years now. I think a third is long overdue!
