Day 144 (Let's Spend the Night Together)
Flight of the Concords
Jemaine: It doesn't matter what country someone's from, or what they look like, or the colour of their skin. It doesn't matter what they smell like, or that they spell words slightly differently-some would say, more correctly. I'm a person. Bret's a person. You're a person. That person over there is a person. And each person deserves to be treated like a person.

Trailer Park Boys.
This one is for my husband and my good friend Jamie who insist on watching "The Best Drunk Jim Lahey Scenes" on You Tube every time we get together.
I am more partial to Bubbles and his kitties.

(Sorry folks about yesterday. Today's and tomorrow's pieces are a double header so I will post them both tomorrow)
"Kick-Ass"
Dave Lizewski (Kick-Ass): I always wondered why no-one did it before me. I mean, all those comic books, movies, TV shows... you think that one eccentric loner would've made himself a costume. I mean, is everyday life really so exciting? Are schools and offices so thrilling that I'm the only one who fantasized about this? Come on, be honest with yourself, at some point in our lives we all wanna be a superhero.
Featuring...
Hit Girl.

day 117 (Things About Me You Might Not Know)
I used to be the most painfully shy child.
How shy?
Well let me tell you.
I used to LOVE McDonald's french fries. When I was young we used to stop at McDonalds on the way to the cottage. I lived for this. I was a fussy eater growing up. But I loved those fries. But they had to have ketsup.
My father was aware of my shyness and was trying to give me little challenges overcome my timidness. My challenge was the same one every time we made this trip.
My Dad would order for all off us. We would return to our table I would be eagerly awaiting my thin salty fries and then I would realize all the ketsup had been spoken for.
You have to be kidding me.
I was to ask the McDonald's cashier for the ketsup myself. My whole family was in on this. No need to even ask if they would spare me a packet. I hated fries without ketsup. I put on a brave face and walked towards the counter.
I made eye contact with the employee and she looked really annoyed. I quickly turned on my heels and head back to the table. I held out my hands for the car keys. (I was not going to eat fries without ketsup, plus I failed the challenges.) I retreat to our car. Looking up at the sign of how many million have been served I wonder if they ask for ketsup for their fries all on their own.
I would like to let everyone know that I am no longer shy at all. I can't remember when I overcame it but I know it was a very slow process. I still get tongue tied and nervous, but my fries always have ketsup.
