Sick
as a dog I am. If this keeps up I should be much slimmer by the time 2010 rolls around. Not a bad thing altogether.Signing off with one of my all-time favourite clips....
“The Dog Just Bit My Leg”
It’s been a “my wife has burnt the scrambled eggs, the dog just bit my leg” kind of weekend. Saturday’s painting class takes everything out of me for some reason and I ended up crying myself to sleep last night, convinced I was a hopeless cau...
Winning the Swine Flu Dinner for One
Here, a few of the very funny videos graciously sent to me by my uncle this week (if it weren’t for him, this blog wouldn’t be nearly as amusing...)...

Just my kind of theory. I wish they’d also come up with a fun way of doing your taxes....
Bike Ballet
Artistic cycling: going strong since 1888. I prefer ballet performed sans bicycles generally speaking, but this is a neat trick to pull out of the hat during a party when the guests are looking bored and refuse to dance even when you blast Thriller o...
Always Good for a Laugh: Julian, King of the Lemurs
Decided I HAD to get Madagascar 1 and 2 today, purely for medical reasons of course. Cheaper than most pharmaceuticals and way more fun to administer. I wonder if my insurance will cover that? (Not likely, I know)....
My Future?
A Good Excuse
Couldn’t go to the hospital for the day program today so stayed at home. I’ll let you guess why (hint: NOT because I was making out with some boy toy)....
Mimi Says: More Cherries Please!
I should count my blessings. This clip (thanks to Jonas for the link) reminds me of Mimi in many ways, only no matter how excited she gets, my Mumu manages to leave the drapes intact and doesn’t knock stuff down—like invaluable antique lamps and ...

Now Playing: Air - Playground LoveMy guests came despite the rain. My neighbour J was blown away by the fact that I was serving real champagne as opposed to some cheap bubbly. Seems to me if you’re going to serve champagne then you might as well se...
Strawberry Fields Don’t Last Forever
Yay! Good for me! Even though I didn’t manage to get up before noon today or do most of the things I promised myself I’d do, I did get out to market today, and although by then most merchants were packing it up, I managed to get beef brochettes m...
Count Me in With the Poodle
During our goal-setting session on Friday, one of the things I determined was that this weekend I wanted to be up by 12 noon at the latest. I did pretty well today, in large part due to my dad who decided to call me just a minute or two after my alar...
Now Playing
Clip from the Lord Of the Rings Movies (so-so sound quality)Sound Only (best quality)While doing some research for heavy metal songs from my teens yesterday I came across the Scorpions which were one of my favourite bands of all. I haven’t listened...
Don't Stop ‘Til You Get Enough
Michael Jackson: I know this story has already blanketed every single media outlet in ever single corner of the world and also been blogged about by everybody and their talking parrots by now, but I cannot not mention him, especially as I have a bunc...
Memory Trip-Hoppin’
Trip hop is a music genre also known as the Bristol sound. The trip hop description was applied to the musical trend in the mid-1990s of downtempo electronic music that grew out of England’s hip hop and house scenes. It is often rejected as a term ...

Have a Drink on Me :-)
My uncle Pini from Israel (hi Pini!) sent me this series of commercials this week—Wait! Don’t go away!—it took a while for me to find that extra little moment to view them but when I saw what I’d been missing—and following a fit of hysteri...
Flight of the Conchords
Flight of the Conchords is a truly funny TV show from New Zealand about these two guys Bret and Jermaine who form a band called... Flight of the Conchords and how they’re trying to make it big in New York City. The big joke is that their music and ...

Postcards from the Past
Had you asked me about this even just a year ago, I would have told you I wouldn’t be caught dead re-living any part of the 80’s. For me, it was the decade of my teenage years which were about as disastrous as teenagehood gets. As I think back an...
Material Girl
From the great wisdom of my years, I’ve finally understood that I’ve always held the key to my happiness, but it seemed too simple, lacked a spiritual component, so I kept searching, in vain. But I know better now. The key to Smiler’s happiness...
Blank.
I’ve sitting in front of a blank screen for over a half hour trying to figure out what I should blog about today. I don’t feel inspired and I don’t feel creative. I have no great insights to share. I could of course post another music video. Or...
Temporary Malfunction
Yesterday, by the time I realized I hadn’t posted anything, I was already in bed with the computer shut down. I have been known to get back up again to make my daily contribution to the blog, but lately that’s completely out of the question. I’...
