I Used to Think Golden Earring's "Radar Love" was called "Red Alert." That has Nothing to do with this post, but it's on the radio right now...

Yes, it's true, "Tits on the Radio" really is the catchiest song this summer. It reminds me of what Chic woulda sounded like if they survived into today, with that base line. Oh, and speaking of music, it was 80s night on Canadian Idol this week, and I had a revelation. Kelly Clarkson should remake Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero". It would be gold, baby. The guy from Saskatoon on Idol is beyond terrible, and the judges love him so much, so I really think they are crazy. The chubby girl from Calgary got voted out because she sang Cher's "Jesse James" and I mean, that was such a strange choice. That song always reminds me of my old flame, the aforementioned "floozie" as Rachel referred her as when we saw her last month, because she always used to play that tape when she was drunk, which was, well, every day. Anyway, I digress. Back to Idol. That gross little gay kid from Sudbury sang Tainted Love and it was so gross. He reminds me so much of Jonathan from Who's the Boss, and you know how creepy he was back in the day.
So anyway, it was a busy day. We went to the National Park, to Waskesiu, which was fun since I haven't been there for like 5 years. So we shopped a bit in the touristy pottery shops and such, and then found this candy store that sold candy that you can't get in Canada anymore. They had Freshen-Up gum, which made me almost get an erection, I was so excited. They charged like $1.50, which wasn't so exciting, so erection averted. They also had Good and Plenty, and all this other shit. Oh, and these Mike and Ike thingies that were root beer flavored! So let's just say that I ate a lot of fucking junk today. I really fell off the wagon. It began with a bagel and cream in my coffee from Tim Horton's this morning, and then proceeded to the candy, then a sub from Subway, and then a bag a chips, a shitload of beef jerkey, and an order of onion rings. Oh, and ice cream. LOL, but tomorrow is another day. Seriously, I will get my ass in gear again tomorrow. Today was just a bad food day. But anyway, we shopped, and then went to the beach which was packed, and swam and played until Rachel thought she was going to roast, and then I almost killed myself in the change room because some moron left a frigging sliver of a bar of soap on the floor by the showers and I didn't see and I slid on that baby like the frigging bride on the banana peel... but I digress. So then we went for the aforementioned sub and ice cream and put the kids in the van and decided on the drive home to cut across the highway and go to our lake for a swim, so we had to travel 20 miles or so on a grid road, which was almost the death of me because I can't frigging drive on grid roads, and then we went to the cabin and then to the beach, and then stopped for the aforementioned beef jerkey and onion rings, and got home at about 11. So, that was today in a nutshell. It was a good time for the kids, so who the hell cares if I ate like Jared before Subway?
I am listening to "Romantic Traffic" by the Spoons right now. Ah, I loved the Spoons. You know, a lot of that 80's Canadian crap was actually sorta good in it's own way. Do you Canucks here remember Cats Can Fly's "Flippin' to the A Side"? Ah, good times.
So I have Big Brother taped tonight, so keep your mouths shut. I was so happy Howie got HOH. I hated him the first week or two, but now I am cheering for him I think. He's funny, and I mean, who else is there? You know, I quite expect any day to have rejected BB contestants come to my door, extolling the virtues of Cappy. Cappy Witnesses..... What would CAPPY do? Ah man, they are all crazy. And you know, they gotta stop showing that fucking ghetto slide, because some poor kids are going to be paralyzed from trying it. And, I am sorry, but if I had to eat PB&J for a week, well, I would eat that instead of bread pudding mixed with coffee mate. Oh man, that Ivette..... she ain't no lesbian, she's a Cappy-bian. Hey, did anyone read that someone was saying that Rob Thomas and Tom Cruise were lovers? Rob Thomas was so funny because he said "I am more offended that I was accused of being a Scientologist." LOL, well I thought it was funny. So does all this mean that Nicole Kidman was a lesbian, or just agreed to marry Cruise to get famous? Oh, who the hell really cares...
Hey, has anyone watched the damn Tony Danza show? It's so terrible, but Judith Light was on the other night, and she was sort of, well..... boring. Not all nicey nice like I thought she was, after watching Who's the Boss, Phenom, and her infomercial on the acne shit...... Anyone else remember Phenom, where she was the mother of the kid who played tennis? I think that creepy dude from Knot's Landing was on it too. Carly Simon sang the theme song....
Hey Margo, I heard "Your Love" by the Outfield tonight and it reminded me of grade 10, and remember my one obsession - the chick with the big eyes who carried around the glow worm? LOL, remember how I loved her? I can't believe it's been 20 years next month that Margo and I have been friends. 20 years.... TWENTY FUCKING YEARS... We can't be that old, can we? Margo is 35 today, but we both look young, so it's all good, but I mean, I still feel like I am in high school, I really do.
OOOOH, "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads is on right now, which also reminds me of grade 10, because I loved them back then. LOLOL, I thought his big suit was so cool. I actually own a biography of the Talking Heads. They are really mean to Tina Weymouth in the book though. I own a lot of music bios, actually. Man, this is a boring frigging blog tonight, isn't it? Oh well, it's either this, or watching the cat eat flies or whatver the hell she's munching on right now.
Anyway, I am not saying anything of any interest to anyone, so I am going to shut up now.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday, and Margo, I hope you aren't too hung over. Oh, and what did your Rochelle buy you for your birthday?? Who is she cheering for, by the way, in BB?
OK, I am signing off.
And that's the rest of the story....
