Scrabble: Fun for the Whole Family

This is a screenshot of a scrabble game I had recently with a friend. Can you BELIEVE that one? Haha. She finally conceded because further play was obviously futile. On this version you can look up words before you play them... and of course I had to check DIPTO. C'mon, you never know!

I used to play scrabble with my Mom. Our games would take hours! Hmm. She didn't seem to have much fun. I recently came across this video clip from a typical scrabble scenario with her. I had a pretty good chuckle. She's such a good sport.

Lunar Eclipse

I caught the eclipse last night! It was pretty cool actually. I thought that shadow would just slowly cover the moon over, but the moon remained somewhat visible and was a neat brownish colour.

Melting!

Trying to catch a shot of drips from a hanging tree stump.


Melting in the river.


Le Marchand Mansion reflected in a monster puddle. I don't want to be near that when a car goes speeding by!


More puddle reflections...

Calgary gets shit on

I can't help laughing at this news story: Ice from airplane potty crashes through Calgary roof. Edmontonians could have a hayday with this one!

Poop accidentally released from an airplane above Calgary hit the home of a woman, who luckily wasn't hurt by the flying feces. In effect, you could say that the plane "sharted," since apparently the release of solid material was completely involuntary.

Scott Adams writes a funny blog about this story, check it out here: Death by Frozen Poop.

He's right, being killed by flying poop has the potential to erase a lifetime of accomplishment. Oh God, I'm not feeling so well right now. I think my thantophobia is acting up again (for explanation, click HERE)... No wait, this is a special case of thantophobia, which I'm going to call catagelothantophobia.

Luckily I'm not on the top floor of my condo building. Little do those 5th floorers know, they have a much higher chance of being shit on. You know that saying, "Eat shit and die"? Well, it looks like you don't even have to eat the stuff for it to be lethal!

Mags or Rags?

There are some interesting magazines out there, but most of them kinda suck. Oops, I should rephrase that, most of the women's magazines suck. Isn't there something more interesting to talk about than makeup, fashion, losing weight, gossip about celebrities and pleasing your man in bed? Now I know what you men will say - "no there isn't, actually." And of course I'll know you're talking about the last one... ahem. (Here is where my boyfriend would pipe in and say something to the effect of how maybe I should read MORE of those magazines... *thanks, thanks a lot man...) (It's a little weird how I treat myself like crap when I'm acting as my boyfriend, I think I should talk to my therapist about that one.) (Note: I don't have a therapist, perhaps this is a sign that I should have one?)



AHHHHHHHH. I need to stop the extreme tangent action. Let me get to the point NOW. Here a 5 things that SUCK about women's magazines...



5) The magazine has an impossibly perfect-looking person on the cover, and even then it has to be photoshopped until she is almost unrecognizable as human.

4) You try to find the Table of Contents and you have to leaf through the first 20 pages a few hundred times in order to locate it.

3) When you try to find an article, you can't even find the page number because they can't be bothered to put numbers on every page! Are they really saving that much ink by omitting page numbers on 75% of the pages???

2) You are finally enjoying the article on page 127 and you get to the bottom of the page and it says, "continued on page 212." So you spaz out AGAIN trying to find page 212. (Sometimes at the bottom of 212 it will then make you go to 242 in order to finish the damn article. This will often result in a magazine flying across the room.)

1) The articles are often boring and useless. We need more Maxim-type photos and articles, but for women!

Oh wait, I just ran across this: Guy Without His Shirt: Check out this month's half-naked hunk. Hmm. Well, it's a start... Wow, there are lots of guys without their shirts on there. And oh, there's a Body Language Decoder, Sex Tips from Guys and Sex Positions - Master these moves for maximum pleasure...

Wow, researching this blog topic was rough. Well, I'm gonna go now. I've been a little sidetracked here... Maybe reading magazines on the internet is my thang...




If you're still bored after viewing all the guys without their shirts and examining all the suggested sex positions, these are somewhat interesting:
