Move over Eliza Dolittle, seems the Mishugana Michiganites have usurped your slaughter of the English language...in fact good 'ol Uncle Sam's been teaching his kiddies a few things o'er the past 230 years - but apparently English ain't one o' dem...did you know that in America, its not a "box" but rather a "baaaax" and that one doesn't eat an "apple" but rather an "aaaayaaple" - and so while they all think that us Canucks are "ooot n' abooot on the roooooooof" - I was merely cringing as every red-blooded American greeted me this weekend with their nasal-infested lambasting of the English language.
On a more interesting side note - this weekend, I covered a lot of ground - had a fun and crazy (though mildly inebriating) weekend. Friday night was fun one - a good birthday bash for Ms. Jodi - mazel tov again on that one babe - Saturday very early in the morning, begot the drive to the USA!USA!USA!... and lemme tell ya, the Toyota Camry - wicked mileage - one tank o' regular 87 octane - 760.5km - and there was probably another 40 or 50kms left in 'er real easy...but who wants to find out on the 401 out near Bumblefudge, ON??
Now, I gotta say, and in fact I was saying this earlier to some of my family - the ladies in Michigan....WOW... now, I'm happily in love n' like n' all that jazz (really I am, honest babe, don't be mad...) I'm just saying that for a couple of you, my mates, my brothers-in-arms-and-blogs-alike, you guys woulda been foaming at the mouth, drooling like the dogs some of you can be...and I wish I could corroborate this evidence, however like a tool (and what makes it worse is that it isn't the first time - see: Ellie and the Argonauts) I FORGOT THE DAMN MEMORY CARD TO THE CAMERA... oh ya, and the wedding was nice n' all...but man did they overpay and get so little in return...oh and while I'm on this...can someone please confirm or deny - $15,000 for a wedding band????? Are you kidding???!!!!! For another couple a bucks, you can get the Rolling Stones for an hour!!
OK so um let's see this is a long one: NYC - allow me to sum up with just a few words if you will...details to follow potentially - SNOW, MORE SNOW, STRAWBERRY FIELDS, LEAFS v. RANGERS, BILLY JOEL, SPLINTERS OF WOOD, TRUMP DUMP, INXS - THE NEW VERSION, ALCOHOLISM, WALKING, MORE WALKING, GOD MY FEET ARE KILLING ME FROM ALL THE WALKING, KNOCK-OFF HANDBAGS, SKETCHY ALLEYWAY SHOPPING, ROLEX-SHMOLEX, DID I MENTION SNOW? PULL-OUT SOFA, CRAZY CAT, ALLERGIC REACTION, LACTARD, FINESSE MITCHELL, MILLION-DOLLAR-MANSION, $700 PER MONTH FOR THIS?!?!?, PROP. PLANES, DELAY OF GAME, CRAP PLANES, BUFFALO, WHITE-OUT DRIVING CONDITIONS...JODI & I HAD A GREAT TIME!
Done. Peace.
Ciao for now!

L'Chaim
A Toast and a brief blog...
To Jodi, Happy Birthday n' Mazel Tov on your 25th!
I wish you all the best, may all your dreams come true, or at least as many as you can fit into one year!
Love,
Ellie
...and now for something completely different...
Going to Motown on Saturday - got my cousin's wedding, his first and hopefully his last (if you knew his sister, you'd understand)!
I'll be sure to stop at the Mongolian Grill either in London or Waterloo (most likely London b/c I remember the directions off by heart, though the 'loo is so tiny I could find it no problem)! Mmmmmm....Mongolian....all you can eat make it yerself cook it with giant chopsticks yumminess....sweet!
Ciao for now.
Done.
EM
P.S. It's safe to go to Cancun...just don't be Italian-Canadian, having a wedding and/or pissed off a couple of women with knives...that's f**ked up shizzle...I hope they find those bastards n' beat the life out of them, let them recover and beat them summore!
Done for sure.

A Splendid Time Is Guaranteed For All
OK kids (n' adults too I suppose),
Friday the 24th of February in the lord's year of 2006 (whose lord is up for grabs at this point...) there's a gonna be a bash, a par-tay, a shin-dig, a hull-a-ba-loo, a gay-'ol-time, etceterra, etceterra, etceterra at the Andy Pool Hall on College (at Bathurst if memory serves correctly, or if dare serve at all) and its my girl's bday party... that's right kids, Jodi's turnin' 24 all over again...seems she didn't get it just quite right last time, so she wants a do-over, a mulligan for you golfers out there...and I say, LET'S GIVE IT TO HER!
Let's hear it for the girl!! She's so sweet, so kind, so out of my mind (huh, it rhymes, ok??) 'and well I'm probably gonna eat shit for this one b/c now I'm makin' it an open-party, but y'know if I know you and if I like you and if I've openly seen you in public (and possibly your loved or really liked or damn sexy one too) - then make yourself beknownst unto me and the beautiful Jodi this Friday night - say 'round 930, 10ish?
Fashionably Tastefull, Elegantly Wastefull, Decoratively Artfull and above all, Sinfully Playfull (its amazing the kind of prose one creates at 330am!!!) are optimistically welcome to the aforementioned affair.
No need to bring gifts, but rumour has it the birthday girl won't shy away from a free drink - but, cash is always good too :O)
For all you bums that haven't responded to the evite that was sent to you - dammit, do it! She's been checking the thing non-stop and I mean c'mon kids, just say yay or nay n' let her move on with her day (which translates into allowing me to enjoy quality time with my girl w/o her having the need to run to the computer n' check on the evite situation... hi honey! love ya! muah!)
OK so now that I'm definitely in deep doo-doo, you GOTTA come out - at least to save my butt - or to watch it get kicked repeatedly, and probably with some kind of heel or pointed toe to boot!
Much love for you all...except for those of you whom we've simply agreed to just be friends and just be supportive to one another you know who you are... and um, since you know who you are, would you mind sharing that tidbit of information with me too? Thanks!
Anyhoo, thats about all I got for now...check out the link in the title of this blog to get directions and see the uber-swank and ultra-hip website for the joint in question (www.andypoolhall.com) for those of you too lazy to scroll back up.
Ciao for now!

OK so um I feel the need to blog, and I know I owe an updated account of my trip to NYC but quite honestly, I'm just not ready yet for it. That was a big 4 days, and so it's gonna take time to get things right....your patience is greatly appreciated.
So what's new and exciting in cyber-space? How about reality? Well, let's see, shall we...went to the Auto Show today and it was probably the fastest I've ever zipped through the thing. I guess it just wasn't really in me...I mean I was excited to go but then when we got there, I dunno it was just like, ok, let's wheel n' deal but without the deal...so let's wheel!
Interesting vehicles of note (to me anyways) the Toyota FJ (a throwback styling attempt to the Rovers of the 60's) but looks like a fun drive. Lexus IS250/350 were true beauties...and then there was the RDX, by Acura - though it wasn't the production model slated for next year, it sure was perdy! It's going to be some competition for BMW's X3..mmmmm yummy!
OK, 'nuff for now...up next BODYWORLDS from the Science Centre - that is if we can get past the parking lot - seems like this is one hot exhibit - 3rd time's a charm???
For those of you wishing to comment annonymously...as soon as I figure out how to reverse my curse, you're in baby!

SuperBowl XL
Super Bowl XL came and went and so too did the barrage of commercialism that is attached with it. So, I watched this event but not so much for the game itself (b/c who cares, I'm a CANADIAN AND I LIKE HOCKEY!) however, for the lavish entertainment spectacle (c'mon wardrobe malfunction!!!!!).
The Stones, Rolling Stones did the half time show - and might I say their stage was a true marvel - beautiful concept of encompassing a select number of fans with a wrap-around catwalk, all in the shape of their logo (the famed open mouth, complete with tongue sticking out) - I think another band used that technique, can't think of their names right now but I'm sure it'll come to me or U2 - let me know if U2 can (or cannot) think of their name.
Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville sang the Star Spangled Banner - and may I just say right here, right now that if you watched SNL this past Saturday - Horatio Sanz' impression of 'ol molehead was superbowl bang on!!! Hilarious - JoJo n' I couldn't stop laughing when we saw the real deal...mahvelous!
And then, last but not least, one of the last few blind marvels of music, Sir Stevie Wonder went through a lovely medley of all his greatest hits (some of the stuff I admit, I didn't even know were his). Gotta say though it was a tad weak - blind guy, tremendously talented, joined onstage by some of the weakest performers ever - and I mean, who the hell were some of those "artists" anyways? Ten bucks says that they had to buy a ticket (at scalped prices - $5000 ea. anyone???) just to get in!!
Oh well...Steelers won, whoopididoo!! At least someone in Pittsburgh is winning these days (ya I'm talkin' to you Sidney).
As for ticket prices and commercial airing rates - holy crap do Americans have money to burn and brain cells to go with 'em! Who the fudge would seriously pay $2,500,000 for 30 seconds to advertise the new and improved Viagra - now with 100% real prune juice, not from concentrate?????
Moreover, the commercials, as funny as I hope they'll be - we don't even get to watch in CANADA - thanks a lot CRTC you @#$%@#$%@$%!!#$%!!!@@#$@!!!!! (y'know they won't let me actually say what I want to say - yay to Canada's version of the FCC - FREE HOWARD STERN!)
Fuck it...I'm out!

I've Scene It All...
Without question, a gauntlet, a dirty, stinky, smelly, tiny glove of gobbeldeygook has landed at my feet. It appears that the fool in question, Sir Levy of the fifedom of the Mighty Reds, has fallen on his cute, yet balding head!
I guess once you get to your age 'ol chap, the mind is the first thing that starts to go. If memory serves correctly, and I know that my memory lays oh so preciously and precariously intact, I whooped yo' ass in the Scene It challenge at Casa Del Spivak!
Glory be unto the King, for I have a reign of useless movie knowledge that will continue to rain down upon thee!
Despite any claims that you may have won the actual game, we all know that Lady Luck (that conniving bitch) simply rolled those loaded dice against me (and my lovely partner Jo Jo!).
I hereby do formally decree as Lord of the Scenes, that from this day forth Mr. Levy be banned to the outskirts of cinematic fury, and may he forever be doomed to watch repeats of Bette Middler movies until his dying days!
Now, you can choose to attempt to save your little cinematic arse, by accepting that I am indeed your MOVIE MASTER!
Peace Out Biatch!
