It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A

So I joined the Y again. I was thinking about joining some kind of recreational sports team, like soccer, and then I figured I could just go to the Y instead and play a bunch of things like indoor soccer, volleyball and badminton. And if I can't go one day I don't have to let anybody know. :P Plus my friend Tiphanie is already a member. We're gonna whip each other into shape in no time! lol Let's just hope it sticks this time!

Craigslist

I spend a lot of time on Craigslist at work. I like looking at houses and furniture and whatnot. For whatever reason last week I was going through the "general" section which I rarely ever do and came across this:

I think this is the best thing I've seen on Craigslist thus far. lol

Men TV Needs Funding

We were just watching Penn & Teller: Bullshit! on Men TV. It's about a 35-40 minute long show. Every god damn commercial was for either Future Shop or Gillette!! I kid you not. The only variety was for their own programming commercials. If I see that mustache wearing a cowboy hat one more time, I will kill someone.

Strike a Pose

I was waiting to get off the train and this woman was standing in front of me with her headphones on and she started to bust a move in the middle of the Go train at 8:30 in the morning as the line was forming to get off the train. I had to move back a foot so she didn't dance her way backwards into me. Everyone appeared to be ignoring her but I couldn't help but stare and wonder how these people were doing such a good job of pretending this maniac wasn't there (maybe they're just used to her...I'm not usually on that train). She wasn't even enjoying it. She seriously looked pissed. Like she was working herself up for something. I expected her to pull a knife out on us at any moment. I can't handle shit like that at that time of the morning!

Blogging

Apparently I go through these big spurts where I post like the crazy woman that I am, and then I skip a month or 2 and appear out of nowhere just to freak you all out. Today is that day folks. It's like Halloween in May. Ok. Maybe not. What Blogger needs is a stand alone program that I can just click on from my desk top. Apparently it's far too much effort for me to go through Firefox (which is most likely already open anyway), click on Bookmarks, go to the proper folder and then select the link and hit the login button and then select new post. Seriously. It's damn hard! When I used LiveJournal back in the day (you know, like up until last year...) before everyone hopped on the Blogger bandwagon, I had a program that I clicked on and had to hit "login" and there was a clean page for me to post my little heart out on. So much easier! It was like a little word processor that I could leave open and save for later before publishing, or easily edit my last post without going through a million screens to find it and I would never lose my post if something fucked up with my Internet connection. Someone needs to come up with a program like that or I won't be posting much. I refuse to hit 3 buttons to get here! Except today. Today's the exception. And possibly when I come back to post about something useless like this post when I think of it next month. :P If someone knows of such a miracle program, please enlighten me!

Top 3 Worst Itch Spots

Yes, I'm bored and exhausted to the point of giddiness and my nipple is itching like a mofo, so here is my stupid post du jour (or du mois, considering I haven't posted in about that long).

The list:

1) Itchy Nip - Maybe it's just because it's itching so much right now, but I have to go with the nipple. It hurts to use my nail on it, bras irritate it even more and rubbing my boob all day probably doesn't look that good! It also doesn't help that the cause of the itching is from a cat scratch (yes, on my freaking nipple - cat scratches always make me itchy no matter where they are though) and to top it off I ran into someone's side view mirror with the same boob on my rush to the train this morning so hard that it bent the other way and reminded me of a sad inside out umbrella on a windy day. So it's like sweet and sour chicken ball day, but replace sweet with itchy, sour with sore and chicken ball with boob. :P (I am like sooo totally awesome at this metaphor stuff!)

2) Foot Itch - Specifically when it's on the bottom of your foot while you're wearing thick soled shoes while driving. This phenominon is also known as "the only time I ever want to see that green light turn yellow".

3) An Itch in the Gitch - The two main areas covered by underwear that start itching in public is almost excruciating. Although when you finally get to a private place where you can sit down and do a little bum itch relief dance like a dog scooting across the clean carpet creating a nice brown line with his backside, it makes it all worthwhile. Don't look at me like that...I know I can't be the only one that enjoys a good bum scratch after an hour of torture at the mall with a crack itch!

Honourable Mention: Itchy Ear Canal - I know you're not supposed to put a Q-Tip in there, but it fits so perfectly and makes me weak in the knees. What the hell else would I use 500 of those suckers for? I'll take my chances!

Dang!

When are they going to post the winning numbers for Millionaire for Life? Some of us have to get up in the morning if we don't become millionaires! Now we have to win or else I'll never be able to wake up in the morning.

Pimp My Train

This was a conversation I overheard at work today:

M: My husband and I went to this amazing store this weekend where everything was only a dollar!!
S: What, like Dollarama?
M: Yes!! That's what it was called...oh S, it was unbelievable! We bought 52 things, so now you know how much we spent...teehee!!

The saddest part is that this isn't an isolated incident. I could start an entire blog just based on the "material" this "M" woman throws my way on a daily basis. Unbelievable indeed!

On a completely unrelated note, the GO Trains have been pimped out and now have a handful of TV screens on each level showing ads and news tidbits. I was quite impressed and even tuned my MP3 player to the radio channel it said had sound. It lied by the way...unless that highly static lounge music was supposed to be the sound that went along with the blatant advertisements. I give it about a month before a group of drunken sports fans/concert goers end up vandalizing them. On the plus side, maybe with all this paid advertising, GO won't jack up my $250 monthly pass for another few months. Or they'll have to make it go up even more just to pay for all the smashed up TVs they'll have to replace in a month.

So there are smart people left in the retail world!

I ended up going back to Sears to badger them a bit. I was really sad that my "getting fit bubble" was burst, so I decided to take action! I went back and the same girl was there. I asked if there was any way to raise my credit limit on my Sears card in store and she said I'd have to call the number. Too bad they're closed on Sundays and the sale is only on until today. Luckily a guy was standing nearby who overheard the conversation and informed me that you can buy a gift card with one credit card, use it and then pay the rest with the other credit card. It was so simple, yet so brilliant! Of course blondie says "oh, yeah, I guess you could do that". Right, thanks for your help. So I went home got Mike (and his credit card) and bought that mother fuckin bike! Oh and the icing on the cake? I'm only one of 2 people that they knew about this weekend who got $40 off on the scratch and save sale. Damn straight...that's for all the shit I've had to go through to get the damn thing!
