Windmills, pudding and Thriller

2006-08-19T11:13:00.000-07:00

The other night, Mike, Lori and a few comrades went to a comedy show on Commercial Drive. While there was the usual banter about "did you ever notice this...?", and "I'm so fat that...", and "Irish people end all sentances with fidle dee dee dee dee!", the true comedy came after the fact while returning home. As we were merely 20 yards from the front door to our building we looked up to see a man stumbling towards us. He promptly flopped out his johnson and flung it around like a windmill. Not quite beleiving what we just saw, we each confirmed to each other what we had just witness. Windmill Pete as I will call him, then let us in our building by opening the door for us and commenting "Au revoir" as he entered behind us. Still a little taken aback, we went upstairs where Mike decided to make Vanilla pudding. No no, you sickos... real Vanilla pudding, while Lori threw on Thriller and we laughed and we laughed! And so went another night in squeeky clean Van-city

action satisfaction.

As mentioned earlier, Lori won free tix to the opening of SoaP. She went last night and came home with a rather content look on her face.

Movie Review: Snakes, mutha-fuckin' snakes. Wow....if a sky-high serpentine fright-fest is what you're after, then this movie delivers ultimate satisfaction. I won't give anything away....but damn, those snakes are frisky. As expected, SLJ is as smooth as a brick of butter. Did I mention that I won the draw for an SoaP gift-bag....it's true, check out the pic. It even included SoaP temp-tatoos, a rubber snake, quote book, hat, t-shirt, and gummy-snakes. Go see it!!!! I give it 4.6 cobras out of 5.

I'm going to finish my Phantom Zone painting this weekend. Here's how it currently looks....any suggestions???? Is it starting to look too busy....?

White-trash picnic at the lantern festival, Trout Lake.

Hot Tip: red wine tastes better when you drink it from a skull goblet (and pretend it's the blood of a sacrificed virgin named Vanessa).

unsavoury premonitions

2006-08-16T09:59:00.000-07:00

So Lori had yet another crazy and prophetic dream last night. She was watching the Shakespeare play Troilus and Cressida. Only the play did not portray a militant hero, but rather a sexual relationship among two transgender individuals...each trying to fool the other. At the climax of the play, the main character ripped off his chest armour to reveal a feminine bosom, while the Pet Shop Boys "It's a Sin" was playing as the soundtrack. Lori awoke with a rather bitter taste in her mouth.

After debating the convoluted message of this dream, Lori got a phone call from her mother:

mom: You're father and I have been talking. We have horrible premonitions about you going to Asia.

Lori: I have already injected over $500 worth of vaccine into my left arm, booked a flight and got my visas. I am going to Asia.

mom: Well, fine. Have a good trip, but we still think something horrible will happen.

Lori: thanks. good to hear.

Dad: (takes phone from my mother) So where are you flying into?

Lori: Tokyo for a month. Then on to Hong Kong.

Dad: Oh, that sounds great. Japan will be nice that time of year. Have a good time!

So....an unsavoury start to a Wednesday morning. Hopefully the day will pick up for Lori. Mike used the word "unsavoury" 6 times before 9:30am today.

Lori dropped dan off at the airport yesterday... in return, he gave her two kiwis. We used them in a smoothy. It had vodka. There's too many blueberries. Mike just bit down on a fruit sticker (from Chile)...ooops.

To recap the weekend.....

Lori went to a bbq in Coquitlam last night. There was a large pail full of sangria....she consumed a lot of it....then went downstairs and played snooker. She had crazy and vivid dreams all night long and didn't wake from her slumber till noon. Then she worked on a new painting entitled "Phantom Zone" while listening to Death from Above and Loverboy. The musical influences are evident in this aggressive style of painting. Mike came home and suggested placing a "hologram" of the phantom zone misfits right in the middle of it.

Snakes on a mutha fuckin' plane!

Mike, that squirrely little mongoose... don't even get me started on that character. No matter how culturally sensitive the situation is, he always finds a way to bring love and peace to the public, narrowly skirt imminent disaster. Usually this is done by distributing samosas and gyoza in what he has dubbed the "Festival of Appreciation", where two rival cultures meet in an abandoned parking lot and develop interpretive dances that portray their feelings towards each other, all the while feasting on said appetizers. His intention is for everyone to go home with a deeper appreciation of each other and a full belly... and really, thats his goal for the world. He hopes to take his festival on the road hitting such hotspots as Cleveland, Sault St. Marie and Moncton with special guest stars Wide Mouth Mason and Gus Pike from Road to Avonlea.

we've got mutha fuckin' snakes.
