(Please don’t knock newsworthy and special diaries off the reco list for this one, since this is just a playground diary. Those who want to play will find it. Thanks.)
Okay. I promise not to break into my really, really bad impression of Julie Andrews singing about raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens here. I just wanted to share a few of my favourite things so far this week and make a little space for you to do the same.
You are now entering a no crankiness zone…
Haven’t we all had enough of me being cranky this week? I know I have. However, if a Republican’s crankiness was one of your favourite things this week, let us know! I like it when they’re cranky.
On with the show…
Some of my favourite things this week:
- Hitting 2 free Calgary Stampede breakfasts this week (2 more to go!) complete with horsies, police and ambulance helicopters, those who man them, food, food, food, country music (this is the only time of year I put up with it – except for Willie Nelson ocassionally), kiddies with their faces painted, everybody and their dog (literally – everybody seems to have dogs – even one wearing a sheriff’s badge and leather chaps), did I mention food?, the freedom to randomnly molest – I mean “pet” all kinds of animals (if you build a petting zoo, I will come – move over kids!), aboriginal dancers (who I even danced with), people dressed up in all their western gear (some never take it off here year round – I wore my Levi’s shirt and jeans and that’s as western as I get), ummm…food?, quick moving line ups to get the food, hay rides, fun with the roomies I get along with (the other ones stayed home with their various hangovers – good on you – losers) and food.
- Rove finally getting the public scrutiny he so deserves. Nice knowing you, Karl. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
- Booman – who actually provides space for me to write this kind of stuff and get away with it.
- Did I mention free food?
- Naps! I sure as hell need one right now. I love naps.
Your turn. Apply mojo liberally.
