What fun! Dictionaraoke

I found this link on a Depeche Mode forum... it's the funniest thing!

Definition: Audio clips from online dictionaries sing the hits of yesterday and today. The fun of karaoke meets the word power of the dictionary.

AHAHAHA!!!

The strange thing is, you listen to it and you start liking it! Enjoy!

March 24-26

I am feeling very old lately. I'm having a difficulty remembering things and I seem to forget what happened unless I write it down. I started to write what happened last weekend (March 17-20) during the week last week and never finished... and for the life of me, I can't remember what we did. Damn for old age! ;) I guess I could sit down and think about it for a while... I know I went shopping last week and bought over $200 worth of stuff at home outfitters and we went out for lunch with my dad... but what else did we do? Hmmm...

Anyway, better write down what I did this weekend before I forget!

March 24 (fri)
Went out to see comedy at Yuk Yuks as Carol won free tickets for her and her 20 friends. Yaaay for free stuff! Of course, as always it seems, me and my hubby were a little late (hubby stuck in traffic) so we ended up parking really close the club, ending up with a $20 parking space. So much for free stuff. ;) Parking downtown is so costly these days, it's crazy!
The comedy had a lot of rude content (no surprise there) but it was fun! One guy in particular was really funny... I was rather uncomfortable, not because of the content but the way I was sitting and how tight the space around me was (facing the table so I can eat my food, but I had to twist to look behind me as the stage was behind me)... shouldn't be complaining though, since we were there rather late. Thanks Carol!

After the show, we went to Chapters ('cause I just miss shopping so much lately) to look around. Only ended up just buying a card for a friend who just had her baby. Then we headed on to Second cup for a drink (mmm... apple cider...) to chat a bit before heading home. I didn't realize how much I missed hanging out at coffee shops! We use to do this lots...

March 25 (sat)

Went shopping to finish off the bridal shower gifts. But prior to that, we went to an outlet sale @ Club Monaco. We bought lots of stuff there! My gawd, so many T-shirts... hehehe. I'm glad we stopped by. I don't think I need plain (but colourful) T-shirts for a while now.

March 26 (sun)

We headed up to my sister-in-law's bridal shower. My hubby was exstatic as his best friend's girlfriend L was also going, so he gets to play with him while we girls had to attend the bridal shower. We headed out quarter past 10 (too early on a Sunday... we never leave in the morn!) and got to the shower a little past 11. It was at my sister-in-law's best friend (and I guess the maid of honour)'s house. It was huge! One of these days, I wouldn't mind getting a house like that... though knowing me, there is just no way I can keep the house as spotless as she had hers. Ah, it's fine for now in our little condo space, I'm having a hard enough time as is keeping that place clean. ;) Anyway, the bridal shower was okay. Lots of food and lots of talking... jellybean and smarties number guessing... gee, that sounds familiar! I still 'til this day have no clue how many skittles were in a jar at my wedding... ;) She didn't get any racy gifts at all...

After the shower, we headed back to L's place, and checked what the boys were up to... just to find out that they weren't home! We were greeted by Belle, their big black dog... Found out that the boys went out to get something to eat (it's like, 3pm! late lunch...), we waited for them to come home, then played their X-box. I suck at games, though it's always fun to play jet set radio. :) Afterwards, they made us a nice dinner (mmmm... chicken!) and had some wine. It was a great evening... and all of a sudden, after the dinner, they bring out a cake with a candle! Whoa, it's for me, early birthday cake! Aww... (*^-^*) It was soooo nice! Ice cream cake from Dairy Queen! Woo! Thanks L & L!!!

March 10-12

Wow, it's mid-march already. Days are just flying by. Can't believe how fast the time is flying.

The weekend was spent catching up on sleep, shopping and cleaning.
Friday I was craving tempura, so spent some time after work frying up a frenzy! When I was cutting all the veggies I didn't think I had a lot, but boy, after frying up so many sliced carrots and onions, I realized I had too much food! Who the heck am I cooking for? This could easily feed 4 people AND have lots of leftovers! It was very yummy and satisfied my cravings, but boy, too much food! After several meals (saturday dinner & Monday lunch) with the leftovers, we still have some left in the fridge. (as of March 13)

I feel like I don't accomplish anything over the weekend as I feel always dead and tired. Saturday was somewhat useful, though running around from one best buy to another (plus futureshop) looking for the 2 disc set of "Harry Potter and the goblet of fire" was just insane. If I knew this was so hard to get, I would've tried to get it on the first day of sale! Many of the stores didn't even have a section with the price for it, making me wonder if they ever had it (but it was on their flyer!). I was originally thinking of buying it at Costco as they are always cheaper, but then found out they didn't have this version. They had stacks and stacks of the single disc version! After 2 best buys and a futureshop, I was thinking maybe I should just order the thing online... and went to another best buy close to the futureshop for the last straw. The last place we went to actually had the price for the 2 disc set though no DVD in the "Harry Potter" area! Hey, they DID have it! After this, we searched around for the new releases area, and found the last 3 copies of the 2 disc set. My gawd, this was crazy! I don't understand why they had to make it so complicated this time around, with widescreen single disc, fullscreen single disc, widescreen 2 disc set, and the years 1-4 set.

Sunday was totally wasted I guess. I was just too tired and too headachy to do anything useful. On days like this, I just need to sleep it off and get it out of my system as I am very cranky and unhappy if I am awake. ;) Asked the hubby to do some grocery shopping, and I slept for a good 3 hours. I guess it wasn't completely wasted as I did get some rest. I went through all the newsprint that was collecting in the house too and recycled them, so that was good also.

Wish I had more sleep though... I seem to never get enough sleep. ;)
