Juicy Fruit Solved!!!

Ok.... due to popular demand I will now divulge the solution to the Juicy Fruit Mystery!

BUT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have not read the Juicy Fruit Mystery posting... I urge you to read it first before reading the solution to the gut wrenching, spine tingling, eyebrow raising, and butt licking tale!

Here's the original posting for your mystery quenching pleasure!

Ok.... so now for the solution. Here's how it happened.

I came home to Erin's place late the night before the ass-affixed Juicy Fruit was discovered.... and here's your first clue.... I was chewing Juicy Fruit gum!!! Crazy eh?

I was trying to be quiet in her appartment so I quickly sequestered myself to the washroom to brush my teeth and get ready for bed. For those who don't know Erin's apartment, she has a very LOUD fan that auto-annoyingly comes on when you turn on the lights. So I brushed my teeth in the dark, peed in the dark.... and here's the next very important piece of information... I threw away my Juicy Fruit gum into the toilet with a light toss. Well, I have never pretended to be Shaquille O'Neil and as a result I did not get "nothing but net" ... instead I got "everything that was rim." And as most intelligent adults will report, Juicy Fruit gum sticks to toilet seats!

Fast forward to middle of the night when Erin's bladder wakes her with gentle cries of "Erin you gotta pee girl!" Picture it... the half asleep girl installs herself on the toilet seat in the dark, not noticing the almost imperceptible squishing feeling of gum on her butt in her half-asleep state. And then voila! The Juicy Fruit gum is then unknowlingly transported into the bed, later to be found by me several hours into the future during my pseudo-waking state.

So there ya go! The Juicy Fruit mystery has now been solved. Thanks to everyone who postulated solutions to the strange observation! A special gift was promissed to the guess that came closest to the real story. Unfortunately, no close guesses had any meaningful personal identifications or signatures, so in good conscience I cannot issue the very valuable prize. Instead, it will be replaced in the prize vault for our next interactive Blog posting! Stay Tuned!! (*laugh*)

Do you know how hard it is to find someone who likes the same music as you?

I love you! You know who you are! (And No...this is not directed at Alex!!!)

My Dad is great!

I just spent two days of working vacation with my Dad. We had fun working together laying out his new book. And we went to New Garden TWICE! YUM!!!!! Special thanks to Erin for making a beautiful dinner on Tuesday evening. It's was yummalicious!

Doesn't it sound like me and my Dad are focussed on food? It's not too far from the truth hahaha

Thievery Incorporated!

ok... news on my thief! He's been arrested for Fraud (not theft ... darn). Eight months ago he did the same crime and got 90 days in Quinte Detention Centre! So, look for the same here I figure! Yeah! Despite all the damage and loss of contents, I feel somehow happy that he's been arrested. Also, I did recover most of the CDs that were stolen too. The police handed nine of them over to me yesterday.

So, I think this story has come to a conclusion now. Now I have to decide when I should install a new stereo in my car, whether or not I should install an alarm in my house (since I am now paranoid!) and whether or not I should pay $500 to fix the body work on the car. Hmmm.... The $500 seems like such a waste! I could buy an iPod with that!!! (*laugh*)

Any cash donations or advice is much appreciated ;-)

Merry Christmas Everybody!

I had one of the best Christmas' that I can remember (and for those those know me that's not saying a lot because my memory actually is quite poor... LAUGH!)

I comitted myself to sending three days and two nights on lovely Wolfe Island with the Merry Clan! It started off in style! We hit the Toucan for a couple drinks the afternoon of Christmas Eve and we were late getting into the Ferry lineup! DOH! We walked onto the Ferry and luckily the nice Ferry people took our car over on a later run.

Christmas as the Merry's was fun. We had food. Lots of food. Drinks. Lots of drinks. And Euchre! Lots of Euchre! Mrs. Merry was the card shark I tell ya. Over the two nights she won seven of eight matches!!! I was very fortunate to be her partner for six of her wins! So needless to say I was in the good books this weekend (haha!)

It was really fun hanging out with everyone. Julie impressed me with her culinary skills! The brunch on Christmas Day was awesome! I got to mee John's GF Brooke who was very nice, and I went over to Andy and Catherine's place too. Mackenzie their daughter came out for a walk with Erin and I and we "held the moon"... it was full and awesome looking! That's a special treat!

I had dream accomodations too. I had my own little apartment while I stayed there. Very cool. I enjoyed myself a great deal and everyone made me feel at home. Needless to say, a "thank you" card will be in the mail shortly.

So Christmas was awesome. (I got loads of Red Wings stuff too). Now I'm looking forward to New Years with Erin at Isaiah Tubbs resort in Picton! Fun Fun Fun!

The plot thickens!

I called Chumleighs and they bought three of my stolen CDs last Thursday. A unique combo that would never come into their store together. The Box-The Box (1984), Archive-You all look the same to me (2002) and Led Zeppelin - How the West Was Won 3 cd box set (2003). Turns out they bought 5 cds from the person. The lady at Chumleighs won't tell me the other two titles. Anyway, they got a piece of ID from the seller. They will not release it to me; only to the cops. So I'm in touch with Constable Jeff Dickson on this. I hope it works out for the best and at the very least the result will be that the thief is scared off from targeting my car in the future. More to follow.

The Best April Fool's Day Ever!

April 1st will be a pretty cool day! I'm getting a new roommate that day? Can you guess who? (*grin*)

I'm tired

It's been an eventful few days. Here's a recap in chronological order:

Thursday Morning: wake up to find my car badly damaged! JOY! Once again my car has been broken into by some local losers in search of my stereo and CDs. This time they really did a number on it. They took a crow bar to the front door and damaged the body quite a bit. The same crow bar was used on my power sunroof! DAMMIT! That's going to be expensive to fix!!!! They finaly gave up and went in the easy way: they broke the back window. While ripping out my dash they also damaged some interior electronic wiring because my map lights and dome lights don't work anymore. So, all said and done it's likely going to cost near $1,200 to fix. DOH! I was pretty frustrated that day. I may opt not to get it all fixed though. It's bad timing around christmas to get a bill like this. Special thanks to Scott who helped me garbage bag my back window. Stylish!!!

Thursday night: had my work Christmas party which was pretty fun. It was great to get Erin out and meeting my co-workers and friends. I had lots of fun at the party watching Erika dance up a storm as well. Man she's good! As usual, Erin was beautiful.

Friday morning: had the day off so instead of enjoying it, I spent it running around getting estimates to fix my car. Bleck! Got a parking tickey downtown. Was so frustrated that I locked my keys I the car by accident! (HOLY SMOKES can anything else bad happen to me?) However, I was then delighted to the MAX when I could easily break into my own car by smashing through two layers of plastic bag!!! WHEW! That was fun!!! Crisis averted! (*grin*)

Friday night: drive out to Ottawa with Erin to meet Ted/Patti and my Dad/Louise. We had chicken wings to die for at a restaurant called Local Heroes. Easily the best wings I have ever had in my life! WOW! I will definately go back! Then we hit the Ottawa 67s game. They played Belleville in the best OHL game I have ever seen in my life! Crazy eh? Final score 6-6 with 21 penalties called during the game!!!! It was a high scoring physical match up that sent the 9,000+ in attendance into a frenzy! If you are intersted here's the gamesheet. I was so excited! I really hope the LVEC in Kingston can generate that kind of excitement! Special thanks to Patti & Ted for letting us stay over at their place Friday night! We didn't go to bed until 4:30am!!!! OUCH! Breakfast was yummalicous!

Saturday Afternoon: Drive back from Ottawa after making a run for the Biggest Giant Tiger I have ever seen. I wonder why they don't have one in Kingston? Weird.

Saturday Night: Christmas party at Siobhan's and Cory's. Was lots of fun. I won my very first real-life poker game and took home $50 in winnings. Needless to say, I was dead tired after that night came to it's conclusion. Special thanks to Jen for driving and being the Designated Driver for the evening! You rock baby!

Sunday morning: Two hours of road hockey in -20oC. Need I say more?

Sunday night: fell dead asleep at 10pm. AWESOME!

Betablocka & Weeping Tile

I was at a very fun "all ages" concert that raised money for the Salvation Army last night. Betablokka and Weeping Tile (with Sarah Harmer) headlining. It was a good time. I was especially energized by the awesome encore which included a kick-ass cover of a dance tune by Outkast called "Hey Ya". You know the one I';m talking about. Check out the lyrics here

Juicy Fruit is gonna move you! Win a prize!

Ever roll over in bed, snuggle with your significant other and swear you smell something like Juicy Fruit gum? "No", you say? Well, up until last night I would have been one of the billions of people on the Earth that would have responded in exactly that way.

So, picture it... 7:15am -ish, roll over.... smell Juicy Fruit. First reaction is one of joy.... because you know just as well as I do, the best part of Juicy Fruit is indeed the smell!! So I think to myself... "Ahhhhh... Juicy Fruit is gonna move you" ... you know... the song... in a sort of half-dreaming state. Then I sorta wake up a bit more and mention to Erin that I think I just smelled Juicy Fruit. I chalked it up to a combination of two things:

1. She took a late night bath last night so she probably smells clean and fragrant, and


2. I was dreaming about Juicy Fruit in a half-awake state!

After a couple of minutes, Erin finds the answer to my problem: there a big wad of juicy fruit gum stuck to her ass!!! Boy did we laugh.... it was so hilarious!!!! So after laughing so hard my belly ached we found ourselves in the washroom trying to clean up and trying to piece together the complicated series of events that would make someone wake up in their own bed with Juicy Fruit stuck to their bum?

So, I thought I would make this an interactive blog posting!!! Are you up for it? If you're reading this it's because you probably know Erin or I, or maybe you know Erin AND I! Either way it's unimportant... and even if you don't know either of us it doesn't matter. But I'd like you to click the "comments" word below and write us a message on this blog with your hypothesis as to how this strange occurance could happen. (Don't forget to sign your name!) After one week, I will post the answer to the true way in which this strange phenomenon came to be! The person who's posting is closest to the true story will win a Mystery Prize! Ooooooooooooooooooooh-Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Enter as many times as you'd like! No purchase necessary! Void on Wolfe Island!

Operation Rednose!

I had a great time last night volunteering at Operation Rednose with Erika and Darryl. It was a fun filled evening of snow, fish-tailling, anti-lock brakes, and incorrect addresses!!! On top of that there was the "all-you-can-eat" home made sweets table which just did me in! "Toucan for one" afterwards was pretty fun too.

For those who don't know Operation Rednose is a volunteer service that drives people home when they've been drinking. I'll definately do it again!

Eating Plato in the Bed!

I did something super fun last night... I spent an hour with Erin and we read a few pages of Plato's Theaetetus together. Truth be told "she" read it to me. We had a lot of fun discussing and interpreting this Socratic Dialogue.

Now some people are going to read this and think "holy smokes those two people are nerds!" Well, maybe we are... or maybe we aren't... you'll just have to pick up a copy of Theaetetus, snuggle under the covers with your best friend one evening, read it together and decide for yourself!

It's better than eating crackers in the bed... no crumbs!

Erin at da hockey game!

Yup.... she went to the hockey game. And you know.... she saw like 3x more people she knew there than me!!! She's Ms. Social! HAHA! Game was good. Tie game at 4-4. Kingston openned up a 3-1 lead after the first then basically fell asleep the rest of the game. It ended in a 4-4 tie. Brampton almost won it in OT during a 4 on 3 with 1:31 min left in the OT period.... it was like a shooting gallery! Yikes! Spezza did well in net.

Oh... and one little tidbit... Erin's wearing my favourite pants (*giggle*)

And back at Erin's place she was spinning some good tunes! Joydrop even. Do you know how hard it is to find people that like the same music as you? I won the lottery without even buying a ticket. (*grin*) Cool eh?
