- 10:03 Bit of a Zombie today...not sure how useful I'll be. #
- 11:01 @digallo - You make a good point...I could also stand to be a Frost-type zombie from Shaun of the Dead. "Player 2 has entered the game..." #
- 13:44 It is PISSING down rain outside...there goes my Starbucks meeting, dammit! No umbrella :( #
- 18:14 Firkin-ing it up with @miVi3k...man, I really miss this place! Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name! *sniff* #

- 02:45 A fantastic day at the cottage! A knock-down, drag out game of charades topped it all off nicely. #
- 18:51 Cottage time almost up...always a sad realization :( #
- 20:56 Car packed and ready to hit the road. NOOOOOO! Boo... #
- 23:06 Back home and chillin' watching Clueless. Classic. #
28 June 2009 @ 01:07 am
- 15:19 swimming in Georgian Bay was cold but sooooo nice. Hooray for cottage weekend! #
27 June 2009 @ 01:08 am
- 12:25 RT: @tremendousnews An Open Letter To Those Who Insult Michael Jackson. bit.ly/iyoj8 #
- 19:16 Prepping for awesome cottage weekend. Camera - check. Booze - check. Sunscreen to prevent uncanny lobster resemblance - check! #
- 19:58 @modernmod - I remember! My goal is to avoid the same fate -especially since I would have watch @fuzzz retaliate with pointing & laughing #
- 20:13 Scott Rolen is on FIRE right now. So great to see the vets doing just as well as the newbs. #
26 June 2009 @ 01:08 am
- 09:00 Finally cracked and put on the A/C...and it's awesome. #
- 11:29 @KeeblerBlog - Sometimes technology is both a blessing AND a curse. #
- 13:55 Such sad news. RIP Farrah Fawcett. #
- 16:36 Dear World: No more Jon & Kate - I can't take hearing about these idiots anymore. Please discuss something worthwhile instead. Cheers. #
- 16:43 NPR: 5 Suggestions That Will Make You A More Ethical Fan: bit.ly/DBMCq #
- 18:40 Just drove through the shortest but most intense rain storm on the 401 by Keele. Crazy. #
- 23:04 Enjoying CHUM FM's Michael Jackson retrospective tonight - affecting me more emotionally than I thought it would. #
- 00:00 @red_sunflower - Definitely, nothing trumps that imho. But many of us associate him with growing up so it's hard not to focus for a bit. #
- 00:13 Johnny Depp is a truly fascinating, intelligent man...shy but completely mellow. I really admire him...classy guy. #
- 00:15 @justinerdman - you just managed to articulate what I've been trying to explain to people all evening. Thank you. #
- 00:22 Time to call it a night. Really a very sad day for many different people and so very interesting to see all the different reactions. #
25 June 2009 @ 01:08 am
- 10:22 Louis, our family cat, is in the kitty hospital...and he is NOT happy about it. Poor little guy! #
- 15:14 RT @EWPopWatch: Don't Mosby me! How I Met Your Mother comes back Monday, Sept 21. #suitup #
- 15:16 RT @BlueJays:Twitter Nation! We need to get Scuataro & Hill to the All-Star game. Voting ends July 2. PLEASE RT! tinyurl.com/lxdkgx #
- 15:46 Dear Perez Hilton: Please go away. Signed, The World. #
- 23:41 Great Jays game fun tonight with @MelBot! Love watching the Jays hit 3 homers in just the first inning. Good times. #
- 23:42 RT @MyCineplex who wants to confess their movie sins? Some Cineplex.com staff members (ME!) have so check it out: ow.ly/fLFF #
24 June 2009 @ 01:08 am
- 08:18 Waiting for the alarm guy to show up...I hate giant service time windows. They might as well just say "we'll get there when we get there." #
- 08:21 Sad :( RT @GMMR: RIP - Ed McMahon has passed away at 86 years old. #
- 08:40 Great article on my 2 favourite Blue Jays - so great to see them finally getting the recognition they deserve! : tinyurl.com/mmlwur #
- 09:18 Still waiting...8:30 my ass. #
- 09:23 @EssJayW - You're not wrong! I'll give the guy a bit of credit since he called to say he wouldn't be on time but still no ETA. So I wait... #
- 11:03 Guy finally arrived but has now been working for an hour and a half. Should've taken the morning off, dammit! #
- 11:04 What the F? RT @quietrevolution and RT @pirie: alright guys, this is fucking stupid: tinyurl.com/kuxq59 #
- 11:38 It's official - this installation has now taken 2 hours. When I mentioned he was running behind, he seemed surprised. Delightful. #
- 11:40 @mycineplex - Ha! That Dakota Fanning line had me laughing out loud...it's a good point ;) #
- 16:44 OMG, are you serious?? RT @EWPopWatch: MTVdeveloping "Teen Wolf," a "reinvention of the classic ‘80s movie." Really. #
- 18:08 Someone told me they're too busy to do their job properly. I got news for him - I'm too busy to do HIS job and mine! Learn to cope, asshole. #
- 18:27 Finally off to celebrate @miVi3k's birthday. Promise not to cry tears of frustration into my sangria - no one wants to be THAT guy. Yikes. #
- 20:13 @miVi3k and @MelBot = immediate cheering up. Thanks, ladies! #
- 21:08 From dinner at Saint Tropez to dessert at Terroni! Yum. #
- 21:45 Now a brief stopover at Laide before heading home. #
- 22:23 Congrats, @photojunkie! That's amazing news! #
- 22:24 @sweetmonimons - You know it ;) #
- 22:27 @EssJayW - What a great idea for a FB group! #
- 23:19 Best Jason Jones segment from Iran so far. #
- 23:28 @fuzzz - Wow...that isn't that easy to do either. It's like last week when I dropped my sunglasses and stepped on them. Not cool. #
- 23:31 Great McMahon Moment of Zen on the Daily Show tonight. Man... that guy had impeccable timing. #
- 00:43 Have work to do but watching awesome Marco Scutaro plays on MLB.com instead. How did I miss this? Sneaky freakin' steal! bit.ly/czCbL #
23 June 2009 @ 01:13 am
- 08:45 @bruceadam - Feel exactly the same way. What's up with that? #
- 08:46 @somnambulant - That is unbelievably awesome. Why don't I ever get THAT guard? #
- 18:45 Not my best day ever. Looking forward to chilling with the gals tonight. #
- 00:01 @punky - you lucky bastard! Congrats...I intend to live vicariously through you. #
- 00:03 @miVi3k - Happy Birthday!!!! Hope your day is full of awesomesauce moments :) #
22 June 2009 @ 01:07 am
- 01:35 @little_lisae - did he show up too? Damn, I missed him! ;) #
- 02:07 So great seeing so maybe people tonight: @karakickass, @little_lisae, @melbot, @sweetmonimons, @punky, and the b-day girl herself, @miVi3k! #
- 13:34 Happy Fathers Day to all those celebrating! Off to make dinner for mine...never cooked in my new kitchen. This could be epicly bad. #
- 21:09 Made an awesome meal for my dad...butternut squash sage penne, greek salad, and a key lime pie (okay - I didn't make the pie). Tasty! #
- 22:14 In honour of tonight's MMVAs & my past involvement...I give you my fave performance from last year...on the ROOF! bit.ly/1wFKg #
- 22:22 It was touch or go there for a second...I thought Tim Deegan was gonna be tossed right off of Gardenview. HA! Like the haircut, Tim! #
- 22:29 MMVAs should get smelling salts ready for crowd since this is about to go down: Every girl - "OMG...New Moon...OMG! *screams* *passes out* #
- 22:33 Every single girl in the crowd has mega crazy eyes - freaking me the fuck OUT! And also...why does anyone care about Lady Gaga? Seriously. #
- 22:36 Impressive pyrotechnics, Ms Gaga...but if one more person calls her original, I'm going to force feed them early-90s Madonna. #
- 22:37 @PartyOfOne - You're not wrong. Serves us right for watching in the first place ;) #
- 22:40 Nothing says class act like boobs shooting rocket fuel and sparks. Also? I did not expect to like Rumer Willis...but I kind of do. #
- 23:37 @photojunkie - My step-sister ordered a couch from Ikea. The couch ended up not fitting up her apt. stairs and they were great about it. #
- 00:10 Re-watching the BSG miniseries on Space with @miVi3k. God I love this show. #
- 00:23 Talks collapse :( RT @modernmod: Toronto on STRIKE! #
21 June 2009 @ 01:07 am
- 14:01 @sweetmonimons - I had one of those this morning too...BRUTAL! #
- 20:36 Back from birthday celebration number one...quick rest, then onto number two. Man, I could really use an early night tonight...oh well! #
- 22:13 At Laide celebrating the birth of the fantabulous @miVi3k !!! #
- 00:12 I may have just been violently groped by our lovely Miss @MelBot...that girl is adorably out of control #
- 00:15 @sweetmonimons - there are no words...mostly because I can't stop laughing #
- 00:19 @MelBot may be giving @sweetmonimons a lapdance...there are no words. #
- 00:20 The pictures from tonight are going to be EPIC...and may possibly be used in evidence against certain people ;) #
20 June 2009 @ 01:07 am
- 08:21 Let the call to the bar festivities commence! Well done, sister-friend Adie! #
- 15:17 Great time was had by all at the "law job" celebrations. Now back to work trying to get my work computer functioning again. #
- 15:47 @FirasM - Welcome to T.O.! Did you enjoy the game? #
- 15:49 @digallo - Hahaha...thanks, m'dear! I was just joshin' with ya but I always appreciate the push :) #
- 17:51 Heading out for a girls night at the movies. Looking forward to it! #
- 00:29 Good luck tomorrow, @fuzzz! Stay dry! #
- 00:34 Bradley Whitford & Jane Kaczmarek are divorcing? That makes me sad:( bit.ly/JPGKg #
- 00:50 @digallo - Right back at ya! Glad you enjoy The Hangover...SO funny. #
19 June 2009 @ 01:09 am
- 10:56 Love this Vanity Fair Johnny Depp retrospective: www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2009/0
7/johnny-depp-slideshow200907 # - 11:46 Not cool? Waking up to rain INSIDE your bedroom! Why does the ceiling have to leak directly over my pillow? Why not my feet? Stupid ceiling. #
- 13:49 @Stacerella - Yeah...I knew about it before moving in but totally forgot when arranging furniture. D'OH! #
- 15:08 False alarm - it was a brief blip on the radar. I have definitely not grown as a human being. Oh well... #
- 15:23 @fuzzz - what is this patience you speak of? #
- 16:36 Apparently I'm getting a new, nicer desk at work tomorrow...had no idea! What a pleasant surprise! #
- 23:04 @digallo - And you didn't link to my article about Frankenstein too? *sniff* ;) #
- 23:53 Just found out there's a feature-length documentary about my favourite baseball player. I maaaay have just ordered it. Damn you, Amazon! #
- 23:58 @miVi3k - I know! I've been so good! But I made the mistake of checking his Wiki page, then kept following links until I cracked... #
18 June 2009 @ 01:09 am
- 02:09 Finally done working...and with that this hellishly busy day is finally over. W00T! But wait, I need to start early tomorrow...bugger. #
- 16:39 Sucky pants: RT @BlueJays - Roy Halladay and Scott Downs to be placed on the 15 Day DL tomorrow #
- 16:43 This day was NOT high on the awesomesauce scale...really need to head home and zone out. #
- 19:25 Absolutely horrid day. But strangely don't feel like pummeling those responsible...I've apparently grown as a human being ;) #
- 19:31 @modernmod - I just saw that! Definitely a silver lining! #
- 19:54 @idiotbanter - Ouch! That doesn't sound like fun! My dad had to cancel his sailing race tonight too...not the best conditions. #
- 19:56 Okay - who is this sharp, focussed Blue Jay team and what have they done with the recent lackluster version? I like what I'm seeing! #
- 19:57 Also - I've said it before and I'll say it again...Darrin Fletcher is one awesome colour commentator. So entertaining. #
- 19:59 @idiotbanter - he has a 21 ft. boat down at Lakeshore Yacht Club. But he races Weds. on another boat at the club - so he IS the crew :) #
- 20:02 @modernmod - I know, right? Richmond pounced on that! Made me a bit nervous though - last thing we need is him hurting himself too! #
- 20:23 Oh - was that Scutaro making that awesome play? YES! I believe it was. *jumps up and down* #prezofthemarcoscutarofanclub #
- 21:22 Scott Richmond is mightily impressing me right now. 11 strikeouts! #
- 22:01 @PaigeSaid - That is hilarious! How am I not already following @tremendousnews? Note to self...follow now. #

17 June 2009 @ 01:08 am
- 13:30 I was convinced today would be a smooth work day...boy howdy, was i wrong about that. GAH! Not enough hours in the day now! #
- 22:26 This Jays/Phillies game just got good...how glad am I that I turned it on in the bottom of the 9th? #
- 23:05 Would really like today to be over... #
- 23:18 My San Fran one made it in and I had 3 more of my California photos shortlisted for 2 other Schmap Guides...neato! www.schmap.com #

- 14:01 Just spent 30 minutes sourcing pics of Johnny Depp for a work project. #ilovemyjob #

- 20:06 There is a baby crying next door...and ALL of the neighbourhood dogs are now howling too. It's like the freakin' Twilight Bark! #
- 20:14 @fuzzz - why am I not surprised?! They're taking lead next time we Rock Band it up... #
- 20:16 Remembered to take pics of my new apartment, for those who requested! Voila: www.flickr.com/photos/auntieem/sets/7215
7619798561336/ # - 20:25 @sweetmonimons and @fuzzz - thanks! I'm really liking it here :) #
- 22:14 @bruceadam - I'm fairly sure my unpacking team is available for hire...for the right price :) #
- 22:16 @Stacerella - Thanks, lady! It's the first floor of a house so not in a high-rise or anything but yeah, I think I lucked out. #
- 22:17 @EssJayW - Thanks! I'm just happy the move is over and done with! Feels great to be settled. #
- 23:01 Yes! Ed Helms is on The Daily Show tonight! I was wondering why he hadn't been on yet to promo The Hangover...sweet! #
- 23:42 @Stacerella - We had an "indie" movie follow up that covered some of those: bit.ly/4eh8x2 but yeah, we'll probably have more too! #
- 23:43 @red_sunflower - Thanks! It's a lovely room...but I tend to avoid cooking so I probably won't use it that much...lol #
- 23:44 @Stacerella - Aha! Maybe I can convince my landlords to go renovate some Oakville homes as a starting point :) #
- 23:52 I can't disagree...especially when it comes to the hair! Stephen Colbert: "Stephen Harper's a MAD MAN!" #
15 June 2009 @ 01:07 am
- 13:48 The Jays are off to a blazing start... #sensethesarcasm #
- 14:44 Justin Guarini is at the game...yeah, I don't care either. #
- 15:12 Started my first successful cheer...everyone loves a Simpsons "Darryl" cheer! Or in this case "Carroll"...w00t! #
- 15:15 @sweetmonimons - drinking one now! Found a stand close to my section...they'll know my name before the end of the season. #
- 15:49 Another stellar Jays June game...or not. Good thing I'm not a fickle fan. #
- 19:55 Loving TCM's director retrospectives...today's all Howard Hawks flicks. next up To Have and Have Not! I'm in heaven. #
- 20:08 Humphrey Bogart never gets enough recognition for his comic side...that man delivers a one liner like no other. Hilarious! #
- 22:03 RE: @thelivefeed Craig is seriously hilarious and giving Hollywood PR exactly the mocking it deserves. Announcing somet… disq.us/ewa #
- 23:27 Watching John Oliver's Terrifying Times comedy special for the umpteenth time...never stops being hilarious. Comedic genius. #
14 June 2009 @ 01:08 am
- 17:23 Great #geeksatthegame outing! So nice to meet @paigesaid, @ryantaylor and others :) Thanks to @Zoocasa and @saulcolt for the game! #
- 17:31 @sweetmonimons - Best part of the game! Must have a daquiri at ALL games now... #
- 19:20 Talked into seeing The Hangover again...didn't take much convincing... #
- 23:56 @Stacerella - It is definitely a side-splitting movie...I didn't cry laughing the second time but still laughed out loud the whole time! #
- 00:41 Did it rain tonight? I ask because the roof leaked (I knew there was a leak before) but I didn't see it actually rain! Weird. #
13 June 2009 @ 01:09 am
- 14:06 Ikea is so much more tolerable on a weekday! Hello to the freedom...I feel like frollicking through the self-serve area... #
- 17:16 @sweetmonimons - actually yes! They were adorable and super nice #
- 20:14 I'm really hoping Roy Halladay isn't injured...'cause if he is...there goes our season :( #
- 21:16 I have to agree...RT @GMMR: Hands down the funniest thing I've seen all day. Craig Ferguson is hilarious!!! ow.ly/dPGW #
- 21:20 Ouch! Bradley made a catch for the Cubs in the outfield & tossed the ball into the stands. Problem? It was only the 2nd out of the inning! #
- 21:24 @fuzzz - Yup! Had all the boxes unpacked by yesterday p.m. - perfect move! #
- 21:36 @ryotgrrl - Feel free to escape here, neighbour! However, I have no pomtinis ;) #
12 June 2009 @ 01:07 am
- 20:10 Move is complete! Everything went perfectly and I'm already 95% unpacked...I call that a good day. Thanks to all my unpacking monkeys! #
- 20:18 @astroboy - thanks! My family are unpacking machines so that helped a LOT. #
