Partay
Gym staff holiday party on Friday. At Dave & Busters. I only ate grilled chicken, salad, and steamed veggies. There was table hockey. There were free drinks. I got a $50 LCBO gift certificate. Life is good.

Stupid Diet Advice #45698029347209
Susan Learner Barr, a dietitian and program director for Weight Watchers, says this is the perfect time to get in the kitchen and divvy up the leftovers. Freeze them in individual servings or give them away.
"Bring them into work, bring them to a thin neighbor," she said. "The idea is out of sight, out of mouth."
What Ms. Barr obviously has not realized is that thin people, like me, did not get that way and do not STAY that way by eating other people's crappy, fatty leftovers.

The words "duct tape" caught my eye
Stolen from Joelle.
1. If you could duct tape someone you dislike into a lawn chair and make them listen to three songs over and over and over, who would the person be and what would the songs be?
Right now, Yves the Evil Kweebec-y Bill Gates lookalike organist from my church. and I'd make him listen to Oops...I did it again by Britney Spears, Gonads & Strife by Threebrain and Disaster Piece by Slipknot.
2. If you could smash a pie in George W. Bush's face, what flavor would it be?
Booger cream.
3. What's your favorite sandwich?
Grilled veggies and Havarti cheese on rye from the cafeteria in the U of Toronto medical sciences building.
4. What kind of underwear do you prefer?
I am loving a pair of black lace edged boy shorts from American Eagle.
5. Describe your favorite shoes.
The sexy bitch boots referred to in this entry.
6. Do you have a piggy bank? How much is in it?
Nope.
7. Would you wear bright orange pants if they fit great and were of superior quality?
No, because I don't look good in citrusy colours and refuse to wear them. Besides, I have plenty of other non-bright orange pants that fit great and are of superior quality.
8. Scott Peterson: life without parole or the death penalty?
Dun care!
9. Would you rather drive a Saturn with dents and a bad paint job that ran great or a BMW that looked great but had frequent engine troubles?
If I could afford the repairs, the Beemer.
10. What actor or actress would you refuse to go to the Academy Awards with?
I'd just refuse to go to the Academy Awards, period.

Apathy
...is when the hometown team wins the Grey Cup and no one (save several thousand diehards) really gives a flying fuck.

Dear Gods
Is it too much to ask to have a Bluetooth dongle that works when I want it to?
To everyone else: What brand do you recommend? I might go and get myself one by D-Link. Yay or nay?
Luna Bar lovin'
I don't usually eat bars but the Luna Bar, chai flavour is totally kickass. It's like a Rice Krispy treat dipped in chai. Just have to be careful not to OD on these, it would be really easy to.

review: Revlon LipGlide Sheer
This stuff is the worst tasting shit ever. I thought foul tasting lip products went out with the '80s. Wait, since the '80s are back in again, does that mean...errr...And if that isn't enough check out the list of ingredients:
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Polybutene, Hydrogenated Cotton Seed Oil, Silica, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, May Contain: Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Red 30 Lake, Red 27 Lake, Red 6 Lake, Red 7 Lake, Red 33 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Carmine, 13509
Anyways, although it looks good, it stays on well, you probably don't care to ingest transfats in your cosmetics nor have this sickening taste in your mouth for a good long time, but if you still want to for some reason, give it a try.

1420 calories closer to a heart attack
As many fast-food chains introduce healthier fare amid fears of being sued, Hardee’s is serving up a hamburger with 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat.
St. Louis-based Hardee’s Food Systems Inc. on Monday rolled out its Monster Thickburger — two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun. The sandwich alone sells for $5.49, $7.09 with fries and a soda.
...
“Maybe this is a smart strategy because there are still folks out there who care about the taste and size of their sandwich, and less about their weight,” said Jerry McVety, president of the restaurant consulting firm McVety & Associates in Farmington Hills, Mich.
People who would consciously eat shit like that are not MY friends!

Gone? Forgotten?
Products that I really liked but appear to be discontinued:
Clairol Herbal Essences Intensive Blends Conditioning Balm
Clairol Herbal Essences Intensive Blends Leave-In Conditioner (damn you Clairol!!)
Downy Wrinkle Releaser
black thong pantiliners
edit: The Canadian sites for every product except the wrinkle releaser still lists them as available, especially the black thong pantiliners "ONLY available in Canada!" Where, OH WHERE are they?

Better than bad, it's good
OK maybe I didn't do so badly after all. I PASSED THE EXAM! 85.5%!
Not certified as a personal trainer yet - still have to pass the practical exam, which I have 6 months to complete.

My New (official) Name
I just got called "Miss Zorbs" by some Fido tech dude. I had asked him to confirm my email address, so I guess he was looking at it on his screen and made that cute little Freudian slip.

There is a god
Sephora is opening at the Eaton Centre tomorrow.
Now if only Victoria's Secret and Hot Topic would get their asses up here as well! Then I could die a happy woman.
My One Thought On the US Election
The results just prove what I have suspected for a very long time: That at least 51% of Americans are just fucking stupid.
