The last days of Birthmakah, AKA Burnaby is a Magical Land.

So I have had a good Birthmakah. I got to go up to Canada and see my husband. Being away from him for so long is shitty. However, I got to tour around the new neighborhood that I will be living in and BOY WOW! it is magical.

Let me show you some things!

Creepy Big Carrot from the grocery store near the new apartment. It is crazy the types of vegetables there.. and that was the "Anglo" grocery store in the area. The veggie stalls at Crystal Mall.

These are the super cute candied apples at the Rocky Mountain Candy Company at Metrotown. SUPER CUTE! There was also a Hello Kitty one, but the glare was too bad. 

Peter and I trying not to be sad on Friday morning while we got ready for work/travelling back to the U.S.

This is my Fancy Breakfast from the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. 

So that was just the pictures I took from my trip up north. I went up on Wednesday as part of my Birthmakah  Celebrations. I was scared that I would be rejected from coming up there because.. well, my mom and I tried to smuggle housewares up into Canada. However, I got to the border, got off the bus and had this conversation.

Canadian Border Guard: Hello, Welcome to Canada, May I have your passport and declaration form. 

Me: * hands form and passport to them*

Canadian Border Guard: Do you have anything to declare? Why are you visiting Canada? * runs passport, clicks something*

Me: No, I do not. I am visiting my husband, he is a citizen, I am in the process of immigrating.

Canadian Border Guard: Oh, ok. Do you come up using any other method other than Greyhound?

Me: I come up by car sometimes...

Canadian Border Guard: Ok, have a safe trip.

!!!! REALLY!!!!! The last time I tried to come up it was at Peace Arch versus Blaine Truck Crossing.. but the fact that it was SOOOOOOOO easy and non threatening.. is amazing to me. 

I then got up to BC, only an hour and a half late, WOOT TRAFFIC!! Peter meets me and then we take the SkyTrain to Burnaby. THIS PLACE IS MAGICAL!

Seriously, our apartment.. is pretty decent. It is within 2 blocks of the SkyTrain. It is within 3-4 blocks of a 3 large shopping areas including Metrotown and The Crystal Mall. There are restaurants everywhere, there are things to do everywhere, there are activities and nice people who say, "Sorry!" when they bump into you EVERYWHERE!  Magical!

So, after hanging out and seeing the sights we stayed home on Thursday night and watched Xmas television. Then I went home on Friday morning. My bus was at 10:20 AM however Peter had to leave for work at 8 AM so I took the SkyTrain with him to his transfer point and then took it again Downtown to the Fairmont Pac Rim and had a super fancy birthday breakfast. Then took the bus back down. The border guards totally didn't care that I had a 12 ft. section of rope ( jump rope) and 2 bottles of Codeine by the time that they had to process 15 visas.

Look what Kitty is reading!

The Angry Jesus Bible or A Starwars Book? You be the judge. 

I was in the locker room today and another girl was asking what Kitty was reading because.. well.. yea that is a glowing cross. Apparently, many people at work thought that Kitty was reading the bible. That is one fucking epic bible if there is a glowing light saber cross and an angry Jesus ( Obi Wan Kenobi)

WHO THE HELL IS THIS!?

This is the display outside of Barney's New York. It is supposed to be.. I think Bobby Flay?? However, it could also be Conan? I don't know. It is ugly.

LAME!? what does Lame lace ribbon look like?

Apparently it looks like this!

The best question this year.. " When an offensive spell's range is "touch" does that touch have to be with a hand?"

As someone who's last name is the same as a major character in M*A*S*H, I have much affection for this.

Ongoing Coverage of Anne's Birthday Week aka Birthmakah!

So, going to The Melting Pot with fam, was totally awesome on Monday night.. unfortunately, we got water boarded with Christmas songs all night. Last night I went out to Smash Wine Bar with Kitty, Jessica, Jonathan and Rachael. It was Yummy. I got pressies. I will post them later.. Today, hopefully I will be going up to Canada to see the hubs. I say hopefully because last time I tried to see him, I was also doing a bad impersonation of Han Solo and got pinched at the border.

Linkings?!

Daaa daa daa daa doo doo doo doo Katamari Damacy !!!!! The board game!

Super Exciting! GAY BIG BANG THEORY! Look Matt! It is us!

I have been watching Ouran Highschool Host Club.. and after reading this article. I want to go to Japan and just pay people to be interested in me.

When photoshopping goes really fucking awesome!

Unfortunately, I will never be smart enough to figure out how to hack a Kinect.. :(


G.T.A MOTHA FUCKA!

This is classy .. Oh the 70's where there was a song in your heart and venereal disease was all the rage.

No, Anne.. you and your mom are not Han Solo and Chewie.

My husband finally broke down and got a big kid apartment. My mom and I were supposed to go up and help him move his stuff into it. However, he also asked me to bring up stuff we had in storage. We didn't have the paperwork, she and I tried to pass it off as stuff that was just in van. Border Patrol, WAS NOT IMPRESSED! We got told to never do it again. :(  Oh well, now we know.

lets look at some newsienews. Did you news means North East West South? Did you ??

I hate assholes who think it is perfectly ok to just put up offensive shit and then act as if he is perfectly unaware that it is offensive.

In New York, they think that it is important to tell us that bartenders have physically taxing jobs. I know this, I went to bartending school... however.. really, do you have to write a big ol' article about how they are shaking martinis too hard and thus get tennis elbow. 

NOOOOO!!!! DON'T GET RID OF THIS!!!! Whipahol is a creation sent from the gods to make our deliciousness more amazings and delicious! DO NOT TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!! NOOOOOO!!!! ( Stupid, college students and their binge drinking ruining all the things that I love. First you make it so I can't make my favorite cocktail of my misspent youth and now you don't want me to put alcoholic whipped cream on my blow jobs!)

The people over at the dark place of the internet where you go to masturbate, like to spy on you to see where else you go to pull your pud.  Dear People who spy on me while I watch porn. Would you believe me if I told you that I only go to on PornHub for anthropological reasons? No? Hmm... However, 4Chan.. do you believe me now? Maybe?

Interesting social experiment.. would you tell off a dad if he was gay bashing his son in public?
I have actually told off several people who do this. I even get super bitchy when people I love, say that something is gay. I ask them what is gay about it? how did they know? Then they usually say that they are sorry.

This kind of reminds me of the best idea for an episode of Murder She Wrote.  It involves Angela Landsbury killing everyone in the town.

SLEEP OVER AT HUGO CHAVEZ'S HOUSE!!

Atta boy! Way to stick it to the cheating whore!

However, I am sure that she couldn't help it, it is in her genetic makeup. 

This is a super interesting article about how size relates to how you feel about what is going to kill you in video games. Quick, get the mushroom!

Ok, off to watch more Angel. :D

Hipsterbonics and Hugging Babies

I have been not around the interwebs for a while because my "sister" had a baby. I say "sister" because being someone who was raised by wolves, I consider someone who's house I had a majority of meals and hours sleeping at to be family.

Their parents are my parents and they are my siblings. I also adopt their siblings as my own and their eventual children to be my nieces and nephews. So, yea, I went down to Olympia and hung out with my "siblings" and held my new baby "niece" and played the fall down game with my "nephew". There was huge windstorm, we lost power. I was supposed to leave at 1PM yesterday, however I left my wallet at my sister's house so they wouldn't let me on the bus.. so then I chilled until the 6 PM bus. I love babies! I also love toddlers, but not in that creepy self publishing and selling on Amazon way.

I learned a whole new form a speaking over those two days.. and by learned I mean.. I came up with a name for how my younger "sister" talks. She is in her late teens/ early twenties. She lives in a Punk/Hippie/Anarchist/Hipster shared garage/loft/apartment/house/yurt thinger. She doesn't shower much, has tattoos that are artsy/random and two nose piercings. I love her dearly. She is one of my favorite people.. however.. She is CrayCrayKins. She "makes kisses" with guys, when walking down the street she randomly says," Is that Mine?!" in regards to whether or not a person is someone she knows. People are randomly jerks... and she refers to herself in the third person with her first and last name. I find myself after talking to her for a couple of hours.. talking like her. Which, is at the time totally amusing but afterwords when I am back with people who are not used to this particular dialect, I get looked at funny.

This also, however, has made me aware that I also talk in a strange Buffyesque manner. I also, say what I consider catchphrases.. that could possibly considered the hipsterbonics of my generation. I believe that a lot of my speech is comprised of interwebs mems, bastardized urban speak and a belief that everyone I have ever known watches anime/plays video games/is a trekkie/uses the force. An of examples of a conversation I  had recently.

Husband: ok

  I have no idea where I will be today

 me: That is why Dinosaur Jesus invented cell phones and text plans!

I love that I have friends that get the joke of when they are " paging Dr. House" to help figure out why they are sick

they think I am brilliant that I suggest Sarcoidosis or Lupus

See! I refer to Dinosaur Jesus.. who refers to Dinosaur Jesus!? I do apparently. Look! I refer to being brilliant for making a simple pop culture reference.. that is not brilliance..that is just being someone who watches too much TV. Have you ever noticed that I am ellipses crazy( CrayCrayKins), because I am. My grandfather is an English teacher, so when I speak to him on the phone, I get a running count of how many times I have said the word "like" inappropriately. Oh wells!

Who wants some links? I want to show you some links.

Gross! Funny.. Possibly Illegal.. Funny! Gross o.O

Being someone who is allergic to grass, this is like being water-boarded.

I have a hard time thinking that this will have any validity.. this was an episode from 2008. IT IS ALMOST 2011!!! I became a fan of Samwell because of South Park. Parody is protected under the 1st amendment.

WOOT! Sexiest Man Alive! I am glad that it is him and not Justin Beiber.
