Raincharm’s Weblog

With mom out on the 3-day and living sans computer (GOD FORBID!), she asked me to take over her blogging duties for the weekend.  So you lovely loyal readers are gonna get a new perspective for a day or two.  First though i want to give mom some props because not only is it a great thing that she’s doing, but she also worked soooo hard at it for such a long time.  Not just the physical aspect (which was undoubtedly impressive) but also in getting donations – sending out hundreds of envelopes and keeping at it until she had reached her goal.  I’m really proud of her and hope that she’s having an amazing time.  She totally deserves it.

And now back to me….

favorite family portrait ever.

i don’t really have anything to say, so this post is going to be mostly made up of observations from my desk.  i apologize.  feel free to stop reading, it may in fact be mind-numbing to continue.

richie sexson is staring at me.  which is fine.  i’m not complaining or anything.  just stating a fact.  and for those of you who don’t know i’m talking about the little bobblehead that’s sitting on my desk.  it really looks like him.  uncanny.  my friend lauren says that he looks like a brontosaurus.  i disagree.  i don’t know how a human could possibly look like a brontosaurus.  it’s ridiculous.

a lot of secondhand smoke gets into my room.  it’s annoying.  i live on the second floor and have my window open constantly because the sun starts beaming in here at 10 and does not quit until 4.  so it’s HOT.  and there’s only one small window that can be opened.  i tried to sleep in this morning but once the sun came in i started roasting (the sun comes in even with the curtains closed b/c the curtains themselves are not long enough and my bed is right next to the window).  but don’t worry, i close the window and deal with the heat when there are people smoking outside.  it’s just gross though.

craisins are delicious.  no explanation neccessary.

you know when you decide to watch obama’s appearance on letterman on youtube for the hell of it and then you see in the related videos box some fox news “analysis” video of something and you can’t help but click on it and then after 5 minutes of listening to bill o’reilly and charles krauathammer talk you’re starting to seethe at the mouth and then when you go to the kitchen to get something to eat and cool down (because not only are you angry but your room is boiling) and you start to complain to your roomates they look at you blankly and say “who’s bill o’reilly” and then you remember that you live with canadians and that canadians don’t know jack shit about the politics of their own country let alone yours?  that’s annoying.

Grapefruit flavored airborne = still gross but not as gross as lemon lime.

I won a huge blow up spiderman sledge hammer thing at the fair two weeks ago and it’s sitting in my window for the whole world to see.  jealous much?

Even though it doesn’t really snow much in Vancouver, it’s still quite fitting that they call it the “great white north”.  then again, just “the white north” would probably work fine too…

this picture should be shared with the world.

i apologize for not being very deep and philosophical, but may i remind you that you made a choice to read this.  anyways, this was fun but i don’t think i’ll make a habit of it.  thanks for stickin with me til the end!

love to all, Ashlan
