Sick Leave
I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off.
So I hung upside down from the ceiling and made funny noises.
My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing?
I Told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think Iwas "CRAZY" and give me a few days off. A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?
I told him I was a light bulb. He said "You are clearly stressed out.
Go home and recuperate for a couple of days." I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker (the> blonde) followed me, the Boss said to her, " And where do you think you're going?
She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"

Brockville, ON Tourism Site

Some of my family live in Brockville, ON. It is a pretty, small city on the St. Lawrence Rive towards the eastern end of the famous 1000 Islands. Brockville is home to Canada's oldest Railway Tunnel (from the river to about Central Ave. underneath the city)and Riverfest each summer. Click on the image for a larger version.
The site link is in the title or here.
jumentous
jumentousa very rare adjective meaning 'resembling horses urine.'
In the nineteenth century, the Sydenham Society's Lexicon of Medicine and Allied Sciences defined this word as 'a term applied to urine which is high colored, strong smelling, and turbid, like that of the horse.' It comes from jument, an obsolete word that means 'a beast of burden.'

The Scouts

I used to work for the same company as Rob (right), and he was a fun guy to work with...mind you considering his competition in that office...well.... anyway...
He and his friend Naydne are The Scouts. They have three of their original songs at their website, including the much anticipated Katie.
Personally I don't think they will be on the Billboard Top 100 anytime soon, but, you never know, so I would just like to state publicly that The Scouts are sooooo cool, (I haven't actually met Naydne, but she must be cool to have the name Naydne spelled so cooly) and sooooo cute too!
In my opinion, they are like the Hall & Oates of the Toronto folksy independent music scene. I have always been a big fan of this very talented musical duo! What amazing and wonderful people.
The following is from their website:
"Sometimes when couples break up, they hate each other's guts and never see each other again. Other times, they stay friends and write songs together."
(This endorsement of the scouts is in no way shape or form linked to my new life goal of being the No. 2 man in a celebrity entourage. So don't fu#*ing call me Kato!).

Shortbread
1 Cup Butter @ room temp.
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract (optional)
1/2 Cup Rice Flour
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 Cups all purpose flour
Directions:
In a large bowl, cream butter. Gradually add sugar and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in rice flour and all purpose flour.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead lightly drawing in more flour until dough begins to crack. Form into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter or into bars and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet. Transfer to cooling rack until completely cool. Store in tins or freezer.
Makes approximately 40 cookies.
Taste Test Update:
These turned out a bit on the dry side. I am going to try this recipie again using a bit more butter and a little less flour and see what happens.
Plutoed
Plutoed is the word of the year chosen by the American Dialect Society at its annual meeting on Friday.
"To "pluto" is "to demote or devalue someone or something" much like what happened to the former planet last year when the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided Pluto did not meet its definition of a planet. "
I guess to say that Nortel stock got plutoed a few years back would be correct?

The Magician
You have a talent for creating something from nothing.The card in the Self position reveals aspects of how you perceive yourself right now.
The Magus symbolizes imagination, creativity and an inventive nature. Your unique intelligence and talent for clever experimentation is a valuable asset. The Magus serves as a catalyst, an agent of change. His influence is a fresh breeze blowing through any situation.
So be playful, and stay open. Don't limit yourself, the possibilities are endless. Try things, see what happens and correct your course as you go. Tease open the minds of those who are watching to see what you will do.

David's New Video Project
This is David's most recent video composition. The camera work was done in Toronto ON during Pride 2006, by David. He then edited the footage at home using his Mac and Final Cut Express. The song used in the video is The Pet Shop Boys, "The Sodom And Gomorrah Show" from their excellent 2006 album "Fundamental".
I think this is excellent. Please watch it! You can also rate it on you tube!
