The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

So I got tickets to the game. We are in our usual spot: the Hawks Nest. Hopefully this time I can get you guys some pictures. Last time, my son never did email me the pictures he took so I could post them here. I am slightly embarrassed to say I still have a flip phone because I'm stubborn about if it's not broken why replace it? Kinda a character flaw some could say.

I loved my flip phone and it fit in my pocket much nicer than my iPhone. I am big on if it isn't broken don't replace it from cars to appliances. I did regret though while my kids were away at college not buying an iPhone sooner for the photo factor. While mine did take photo's they were not good, nor could I see photos well because of the size. But it fell into the category of I didn't miss what I didn't have and I had two in college and always had something else to better to spend the money on, plus phone contracts are expensive.

Dogs like it when you pat their head. I'll be sitting in my chair at the computer desk and he'll come over, sit sideways next to me, and I'll pat his head.

This weekend, he changed it up. Now, he comes into the room and walks face first into my leg, while I'm sitting on the chair. He must have realized that if he buries his face and can't see anything, he can block out the entire world, and go into a doggie altered state when I pat his head now! (Ha! None of you expected I'd ever have a "normal" dog did you??!! )

That is the 'ram' effect. It is a security cuddle thing with dogs.

One of my dogs has started rubbing his face on our legs and weaving in and out of them like a cat to get our attention. It is kind of strange, especially when I'm trying to get ready in the morning or cook! He almost knocks me over sometimes.

Not enough exercise?

I sometimes sing the Canadian National Anthem randomly.

En francais aussi? Or just the English version?

 

[Gabe1]

Finally get to go to a hockey game this season on Tuesday. The Sens are coming to town...which means I get to sing the Canadian National Anthem.

It is pretty.

They are weird. That's why we love them

I find my cat in some strange place...completely buried under the covers on my bed so I can't even tell she's there, behind the china cabinet (there's only a few inches of space there), on one of my decorative pillows that she had knocked down just to sleep on...weird animal. Sometimes the way she lays on me when I'm on the couch, I think, "That can't possibly be comfortable."

I also keep losing pencils because she keeps stealing them and stashing them under my bed so I then find a collection of them to retrieve.

Just saw a commercial for the upcoming film 50 Shades of Grey.
Didn't read the book ... certainly not going to watch the movie.

Pretty sure Jian Ghomeshi won't be watching either.

Pretty sure that joke is only hilarious if you're Canadian.

I'm temped to pull the PAUL (alien movie) joke about "who the hell is adam shadowchild"

Why?

Those little people and their song freak me out. I think I told this story before but when we were in elementary school once a month the entire school got to watch a movie on a giant screen in the gym. Kindergarten right in front of the screen with the grades going up to the sixth graders in back.

When I was in kindergarten one of the first movies they showed was Willy Wonka. Being five years old sitting in the dark right up against the screen and seeing the horrible things that happened to those kids and those little people was scary. I remember my friend and I holding on to each other because we were terrified. BUT one of the rules during movie time was you were not allowed to get off the floor and be excused unless you had to use the restroom. (You're scared? You'll be fine. Sit down. ) I had nightmares so bad my dad made me share a bed with my sister for over a month. We saw Oliver the next month and I came home and cried so much because that lady was beat to death (something a five year old shouldn't see) that my dad wouldn't let me go to the movie unless he had seen it.

Oddly enough that same year we watched the HR PufnStuff magic flute movie and I thought it was trippy cool when others were afraid of the witch.

Some of the YouTubes are amazing, the videos have come a long way. It still doesn't do justice to New Years or the Forth of July. I've seen them both at Epcot and the MK. My yearly favorites are NYE at the MK and the 4th at Epcot.
Nothing, nothing has compared to ringing in the new millennium at Epcot. That day was beyond surreal.

The other attractions that video no matter how well done can do justice to is the Castle Christmas lighting, Osborne Lights or the projection on the castle. The YouTubes give a good presentation but still lack the sparkle.

We're debating (in my family) delaying the go to Disney World to the new years eve at 2016.
So we can catch the fireworks at Epcot. then stay the week after.
Anyone has any ideas of how busy the WDW parks are AFTER new years eve? and Universal?

After New Years not so bad because kids were going back to school. Not an empty park but we found it quite manageable.
