...overpriced...

...wow, did a search for 24 action figures and found some that are slated to be released in Feb 07. Can you say "overpriced?"

...what's this I have bookmarked?...

Yes, that's right, I've managed to find my old blogspace and begin once again sharing my thoughts with you all beautiful people.

It's been a long hiatus and I'm guilty of ignoring you all, but let's get things back on track shall we?

Random thought #1:
Just recently got a cool Motorola Bluetooth headset. Love it. Only thing is, I use it in 2 situations:
1) Driving. Can't really avoid grandmas with one hand on the phone.
2) Office. So I'm able to simultaneously Google buzzwords that my counterparts are uttering in mid sentence during phone conferences so I actually have an idea what the meeting is about.

Using Bluetooth any where else? Not cool. No one cares that you're Bluetooth enabled - especially if you think you're too high-tech to carry a phone in a mall.

Random thought #2:
Spoke to ex-boss recently and he was going off about how his little boy is getting all smart. Apparently, he knows to pull kitchen drawers halfway out and use them as makeshift steps to climb on to the counter. Apparently, he knows how to switch the TV to the channel he likes, not because he knows how to read #'s yet, but has watched the fingers of his dad pressing the numbers so he knows which buttons to press. This kid is amazing! I was like, that's not a toddler, that's a velociraptor.

Random thought #3:
I honestly think that I will seriously go out and buy a new shirt sometimes, rather than cleaning it.

Random thought #4:
Are we getting that dumb? Can we only retain 2 numbers at a time? How come when I call a friend to get a phone number, they have to scroll through their cell phone address book to retrieve it, and they can only recall and relay numbers to me like 2 digits at a time?

Random thought #5:
Liquor ads always say at the bottom "Enjoy responsibly".
Dude, that's an oxymoron! Firstly, you can't enjoy liquor responsibly - that's an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp". Throwing up in someone's house = irresponsible. Throwing up in the garbage can = responsible. Throwing up in the garbage can with no bag = irresponsible. Which goes to show you that drinking responsibily is really just relative.

Random thought #6:
New trend of girls' jeans with tapered and tight at the ankles looks dumb. They're hard to remove while doing the ooh-la-la. What I'd like to see next is girls' jeans that rip off like basketball warm-ups, but I'm fine settling with boot-cuts.

Random thought #7:
Ever listen to rap music on mainstream radio and they bleep out words you didn't even know were curses?

Random thought #8:
When you rent stuff, and they say there's a "non-refundable deposit", isn't that just a fee?

Random thought #9:
A while back, for a lack of better options available, I bought a coffee and a scone at a coffee shop. When the cashier rung me up for $3.60, I asked, "oh, did you ring in my coffee too". Casher replies "of course silly, that'd be a pretty expensive scone then wouldn't it?". Haha, I thought about it for a while before realizing that no, I had no idea whatsoever whether that's an expensive scone or not...

Thoughts 10 and on to come....bye beautiful people.

...where's waldo? where's dc?...

Yup...apparently I've officially crawled under a dark rock in a muggy wet dark cave and ceased to exist in this world for the last 2 weeks. Just to let all the dear ones know out there that I do still walk this earth, here's an update on me for the last little while.

1. Busy with work.
2. Busy with work.
3. Busy with work.

I think you get the general jist of that.
However, I am itching to get out for game night on Thursday 'Nuckleheads vs. Sabres 7pm Sportsnet West @ Earl's. You heard it here first. If down, gimme a holla because I'm down to see these expansion cousins go head to head.

Canucks doing pretty well lately.
I think it coincided with the fact that I was going to go to that Calgary game in box seats a while back. Yes - for those following, Canucks were in a little bit of a slide losing bout 7 of 8. Hey, IMO, I rather see them goin on a 20 game skid now and tear it up in April going into the playoffs rather than to see them begin losing in April. Nonetheless, DC gets box seats for the Calgary game and 'Nucks win in OT. Since then, record improves to winning 5 of 6. Coincidence? I think not. Playing in my favor. Yes, I think so. Because I don't need to do any convincing for people to understand that the world revolves under my feet.

You heard here first: DC heading to another box seat game for representing my company for the Sun Run. 'Nuckleheads vs. Columbus Blue Jackets!

What else is new?

1. DC to be a guest speaker back at UBC during a Lunch n' Learn on Feb 23 speaking on "De-mything Sales". Yes, I "am" that important.

2. Still looking forward towards seeing Wedding Crashers. Heard its funny. Tried to rent it last weekend with the girlfriend - they were out. Ended up watching the worst movie of all time. Exorcism of Emily Rose. Not that the movie was that bad, but more because the damn DVD was scratched and the movie froze/skipped during all climatic scenes. Douche-bag Blockbusters!

3. Spent the best 4 hours of my life in the last 2 days watching the new season 5 of 24. Yah that's right. Jack Bauer is so man and he's back to rip it up in Day 5. Gotta watch Prison Break too. God, the reality shows are beginning again as the girl is already caught up watching Bachelor.

4. Natalie Portman's hair is growing back. Still cute though.


5. Worked the West Coast Bridal Trends event this past weekend. Not too exciting. Did I mention that the sex show was next door? That was pretty exciting.

6. Didn't I take pictures at the New Year's Eve event? Yah, I think I did too. You're all probably expecting pictures sometime soon. That would be nice wouldn't it. Yah, I think it would be nice.

7. I like reading, but why is it taking me so long to finish The Da Vinci Code when I clearly like it and cannot put it down everytime I pick it up? Probably because I'm occupying myself lately uploading the New Year's Eve pictures.

8. Ovechkin > Crosby. This kid is unbelievable. I call him a kid because he's 20, but then again, he's 6'2, 212 lbs. Anyone see the goal he scored the other night on his back? I'll try to find a link.

...hockey players are human too...

Soooo....in great anticipation of the Ottawa vs. Canucks game on Friday, I was surfing the Canucks Forum to find out some info about game day. One thing I realized: Hockey players are humans too...they take bad photos, have embarrassing moments, but luckily for them, they do have the puck bunnies following them around...therefore always scores hot wives. Anyway, thought I would share some not-so-public pics with you guys...

Matty Ohlund...looks like he's constipating...

Nazzy always in style wearin his Energie shirt...

Again...the captain looking all suave...

Bite him Jarkko! Bite him!

Not twins...doing something funny on the ice...looks like dogs.

Touching moment...Jovo last year. Scored a goal and dedicated it to his infant child that died during birth by pointing up to him.

Bertuzzi returning to the NHL in his first game back.

Bert with a huge grin...didn't realize his mouth was that big...not that I've ever seen him smile. Stop playing all nice and...

Start playing like this you douchbag...

Anyways, DC's fearless predictions: Canucks 5 Senators 3 tomorrow night.

...just waiting to go to coffee...

Let's see whats new to write about...hmmm...I'm drawing blanks...
I guess I'll just go off on random thoughts again...


> So Lindsay Lohan pulled a no-show for Live with Regis. Little Miss Thang is too popular for Regis now? She said she had food poisoning at the last moment. I don't buy it though. Mainly because she doesn't really eat. Freaky, skinny Fez-says-she's-crazy anorexic. Better now though...apparently the boobs are coming back.

> A website dedicated to random thoughts. And you thought you had no life? If so then click here.

> I'm an "organized clutter-saver". Does that make sense? I have clutters of things that I save everywhere at my place, but they are always organized. My 15 magazines are stacked nicely on the coffee table perpedicular to the right corner of the table, my papers are divided into the incoming, outgoing or filing pile - although they are in the middle of the living room (literally - you have to sidestep the piles just to get to the couch) and my empty beer bottles are in 3 rows of 4 with perfect spacing between each bottle on the kitchen counter. An "organized clutter-saver."

> Why doesn't Bertuzzi stop playing like a girl? I should maybe ask his drop dead gorgeous wife. Then slap her. Then run because Bertuzzi would be mad. Then I would be happy because he's now mad and will finally begin playing with some emotion on the ice. DRIVE THE NET you big monkey!

> I haven't put up my Christmas Tree yet. Mainly because I don't like taking it down afterwards.

> Received a job offer from a consumer-packaged good company yesterday morning. Annual salary of $55,000 to start + $10,000 car allowance + 25% bonus target payouts. I didn't take it. Can someone slap me?

> Song of the moment in my head: "Groove is in the Heart" - DeeLite. Why? Because it's so bloody catchy. "I couldn't ask for another" *dancing around like a fruitcake*

> Why did no one tell me earlier that Prison Break is the next best show on TV aside from 24? And with 24 not on, making it the best show on TV now? I had to catch the season finale and now have to wait an entire season just to get my fix again. By then the effects would've worn off. I think Cat likes that show too...hmm, I'll blame Cat.

> Narnia the movie is coming out this Friday. I read the entire series in Grade 5. My gawd, I can't even read ONE book nowadays.

> You're probably as bored as I am if you're reading this right now.

> Are we going to Whistler with everyone again this winter? "Not planning it"...I'm calling it just in case we are and we look for someone to plan and make reservations. You heard it here first: "Not planning it"...heh heh suckers...

> Guys, you heard it here first. Gillette is coming out with a Mach 4. 4 blades: one brings the whiskers out from under the skin, two to cut the hair, three to ensure that you get a smooth cut and the fouth blade to rip your most exterior surfacing layer of skin so that you can scream in agony when you apply aftershave to the freshly exposed flesh. Idiots.

> Why do white folks have so much bedding on their beds. Stuffed animals, 3 layers of sheets, comforters, duvet covers, etc etc. What's on my bed: sheets, pillows, blanket.

> Hann is becoming a woman. KL should make her breakfast too.

> Waikiki 05:
Prostitute walks up to Jay as we walk back to the hotel on the strip.

Prostitute: "Hi there, how you doing"
Jay: "I'm fine."
Prostitute: "How bout we get together"
Jay: "No that's ok, I'm good."
Prostitute: "Oh I KNOW you're good baby. So how about it"
Jay: "Errr....maybe later?"

Prostitute gets distracted by other customers. Jay runs away.
Well, it sorta went like that.

Gotta run for coffee...bye people.

...rubbing it in...

Yah that's right, I went to Hawaii recently! Ha!
Here's the picture to prove it!

...And here's the album to prove it.

...another album...

Yup...another album...I'm posting them up in a fury...my gawd, I'm on fire!

Tom's Thanksgiving dinner '05 can be seen here
