Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
LOL can you imagine having your face painted like this? I had to look twice to be sure it wasn’t a really vibrant tattoo, but I’m pretty sure it’s face paint. I’m pretty sure that if I had that much paint on my face I’d end up needing an acne treatment or something. I hope that he didn’t!
I wonder what this guy was all made up for anyway? Do any of you recognize him as some type of character or from a show?
Wow … there’s no shows on TV tonight after nine because of the Federal election debates. I say debates because I’m in Canada and most of our channels are being taken up by the American Presidential debates AND our Canadian Federal election debates.
I guess we’ll probably watch some of the Canadian election debates. I mean there’s not much else on!
At this moment were just watching old sitcom reruns on a US channel. The really strange thing is that we’re seeing purely American commercials … I’m not used to that. Most of the US station we watch somehow mix Canadian commercials or I guess North America wide commercials into their programs. Strange to see commercials for NC health insurance when I’m in Ontario!
Are you watching either of the election debates (Canada or US)?
I usually don’t watch them as I don’t feel I get that much out of them or well .. I guess the truth is I’m usually even more disappointed by the opponents that pleased with them by the end of the debate.
Wordless Wednesday
On Sunday we took our puppy for a hike in Taylor Creek Park here in Toronto.
As you can see she found a wet area that was more mud than water!
She was playing with another dog and they disappeared on a trail in the forest for a few minutes and when they came out the Collie had grey boots and well … Midnight had a mud covered grey snout, and ugh … I guess most of the front of her body was mud covered as well.
She tried to shake the mud off …
But she didn’t do that great of a job.
Luckily for us and the other dog owner, the dogs found some cleaner water to play in a little while later.
We didn’t let the dogs near the mud puddle on the way back.
Oh life with a dog! It’s fun at times, isn’t it?
Do you ever watch American Dad? It’s on, on Sunday nights and the season premiere was on last night. Chris and I taped the show last night on our PVR so we’re just watching it now.
We both love that show, its so funny! It’s definitely not for people that have young kids around though!
We were just thinking that a DVD or two of past American Dad seasons might make a great gift for Chris’ brother. Whenever he comes from Chicago for a visit he always has a good time watching some of the TV shows that he normally doesn’t watch at home when his kids are around.
I’m sure he’d love the show. I found the American Dad Vol 3 DVD at Buy.com. It’s a pretty good price and it would make a great Christmas gift.
Wow, I’m thinking about Christmas already … well I guess with September coming to a close it’s only natural to start thinking about one of the biggest days of the year and along with that what gifts we should get our friends and relatives. I guess that’s all the more reason to keep an eye on the sale at Buy.com. If I can save some money and still get some great gifts for people that would be wonderful.
I hate to ask, but have you started shopping for Christmas yet? I’m usually a notoriously late shopper.
I’m sure by now you’ve heard that you can have new stars named after you or a loved one, even those discovering new species sometimes offer up the chance to have the new species named after yourself (ie Stephen Colbert now has a spider named after him!), but did you know that you can buy the moon too? Well .. a piece of it, I mean.
Uh huh .. I probably should have left this story for my husband Chris to write about on Odd Planet since it is weird news – in my books any way.
A company called Lunar International is allowing people to order a personalized Lunar land claim for real moon property.
