Random bits....

First things first : I hope you are all fine and that your lives are free of any serious troubles. Okay, on with it now....

I'm going skiing again (hopefully) on Saturday..can't wait! A friend is being kind enough to donate me a used pair of ski's that are just sitting there doing nothing, which is way cool. I have become so enamored with skiing that I actually am making my first serious effort to quit smoking so that I can have more money to put towards "my new drug" I'm on the patch (about 5 days now) and have smoked less than a pack in that time. Considering that I was a pack a day man I am doing excellently.

I've been downloading a lot of movies the last few days and one that I enjoyed in particular is Rob Zombie's "Halloween". I gotta say that I think it was actually better than the original. Slowly, but surely, I am becoming a big fan of RZ.

Just finished watching my first episode of Celebrity Apprentice. I won't give away who leaves tonight but I will say it was a very entertaining episode and the ending was brilliant. Very funny stuff.

New Survivor and Big Brother's starting soon. Yawn. I know I'll watch but the thrill is gone, really.

Starting Feb 1 in BC you are going to have to pay for your gas before pumping it at ALL gas stations in BC (credit and debit at the pump, cash in the store). I know it's going to be inconvenient for some people but I am soooo tired of getting ripped off by people and say it's high time this law was brought in. There'll be lots of bitching and whining but I don't care.

Q : What do a tornado and a divorce in Salmo have in common?
A : Somebody's losing a trailer!

We have about 5 feet of snow now. We're going to end up with a crapload cuz it's still dumping down on us as I speak. Big flakes too!

My mom lost one of her cats a couple months back (not the stray they found last year, one she had had for a few years). Well, god gave her a new soul to look after as the other day they found another stray. Her name is Samantha and she's a cutie-pie. (pics will be put up when mom takes some) One of those cats with a pushed in face. Sweet tempered and gentle she, like Tabitha last year, has adjusted to the dogs (Lab/Chow crosses) immmediately. I tell my mom it's the old prison-survival theory in operation : make friends with the biggest and meanest first!

Anyhow, time to go play some games, talk atya laters, gators!
