If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought?
(Now post this in your LJ and find out what mine would be)

Are you talking to me maaaaaaan?
ASPEN, Colo. Feb 13, 2005 – Cheech and Chong may have joked about marijuana in their movies, but the comedians say they didn't touch the stuff when the cameras were rolling. “We tried one time and we wasted so much film,” said Tommy Chong, recalling a scene in “Up in Smoke.” “We were in the car waiting for the cue, you know. And the camera's rolling and we're sitting there, you know, and neither one of us heard the cue.”
Chong and former partner Cheech Marin appeared together for the first time in 20 years at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. Chong said he isn't ashamed of introducing millions of Vietnam-era kids to marijuana. “When you think of how many kids died drinking alcohol, I feel I've saved millions of lives,” he said.
Marin said their humor was appreciated by an unexpected group: “Cops were our biggest fans. Because they dealt in what we were dealing with everyday, but in reality, they saw the essential humor and they laughed.” Marin and Chong, who recently completed a nine-month sentence for trying to sell marijuana pipes on the Internet, said they are writing two new films, “Grumpy Old Stoners” and “Lord of the Smoke.”
The scene where Tommy Chong smokes the cockroach that ate his pot still makes me giggle :)
Quiche, and other sundry details
Made quiche last night, and served it with meat pie and chicken pot pie. Hmmm, pie.
In other news, I'm jonesing for LJ comments. I miss the days of comment deluges that kept me entertained for hours. Have I become that bland and uninteresting?
Quote of the day
My boobs are saggy. See? Even my boobs are depressed.
A truly nice day.
*happy toe wiggles*
Just came back from a nice walk in the Botanical Gardens with the Katygirl. We went to eggspectation for brunch, then headed off to Pie IX. Amusing moment of the morning: seeing our grumbly waitress fill up the coffee thermos I'd bought. Ya see, I bought a nice thermos so we could have a warm beverage during the walk (stainless steel, of course, I have to be me :) So anyway, I ask the waitress how much it would cost to fill it up. She says that she'd probably need to charge me the price of 3 cups of coffee, so about 4-5$. She walks away and comes back in a huff with a pot of coffee. Apparently, the manager wanted to charge me 7$, which she found ridiculous, so she gave it to me for free :) I gave her a nice tip.
We had a nice long walk in parc, snow crunching under our feet. The parc changed rather dramatically since last time we went there (for the light show in the Chinese garden, in October). Still, it has its charms in winter. It's really quiet, for one thing.
Katy was uber-wired on caffeine, which is always a scary display to see. At one point, in the metro station, she was rather frightening. I was afraid her face was going to split; she was grinning so widely :)
I've been chastised for not mentioning that my sweetie made some really nice curries last night. She made cauliflower curry and chicken curry, from her mom's recipes. They were a bit on the mild side, but for a first try, a really good achievement. Had them with a nice rose, and some homemade apple crumble. Hmmmmm, pie. The night ended rather abruptly, when she fell asleep while I was making her a chocolate drink, but we made up for lost time today :)
Speaking of the Katygirl, I've been giving her a hand with her job applications. We've sent off her Cv to almost every biology/ecology professor at McGill, Bishops, Ottawa U and Carleton to see if they had openings for a research assistant. Although all of the replies she's gotten have been negatives (mostly for lack of money), they're all positive in the sense that they're praising her background and wishing her luck. Some have mentioned colleagues she might contact, others have said they'd spread her CV around. It's actually a lot more encouraging than in the UK, where they don't even reply if they're not considering you. Wankers :)
Doh!
From this day on, let us never mention the chili incident ever again.
It's almost the weekend, yaaaay!
This pretty much sums up how I feel this morning. I think I'm coming down with something. My ears feel like they're blocked, but they're not really, so that's always fun. Katy and I didn't sleep as well as we could have last night (and no, not even for pervy reasons) so today will be a short day, I think. I'm going to get to the office, mail off some CVs for Katy, tell IBM they're prats and then go to a clinic to try and nip this thing in the bud, whatever it is.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It's really falling outside. I cleared snow off the porch and stairs before leaving this morning, I'm wondering how long it'll stay that way. At least Katy will see a proper snowfall before she leaves.
Went to see the Egyptian Treasures from the BM exhibit at the Musee des Beaux Arts. It really doesn't even compare to the original exhibit I saw in London.
I'm feeling less than stellar today. Don't really know why.
um, WTF?
