Bastard...

I was asked, a couple of weeks ago, to lend my "artistic" talents and judge a fake marketing campaign.



Eager to please, I took my job my job very seriously, armed with a clip-board and a very elaborate spreadsheet in order to take notes and allocate the appropriate points to the right teams.



I was browsing quite happily from team to team when one sign stopped me, quite abruptly I must say. There I was, standing in front of a sign that had a drawing of a very large men, drinking from a glass with the inscription "Fat Bastard". Needless to say, that particular team got a ginormous ZERO from me for offensive and disrespectful language and drawing and I had them disqualified from the competition.



Yeah !



Except...



Unbeknownst to me, that particular team was actually marketing a Canadian wine called, you got it: Fat Bastard.



I just received a bottle from them, as a souvenir...

Weekend Recap...

I attended a high school reunion over the weekend !! I was part of a special music program (oh don't act so surprised... ) all though grade school and high school, and we had our 14-15 years reunion. What a blast ! Only 6 people couldn't make it and even some teachers showed up !

Some of us are still in contact, because of the music business or because of websites like FB... or simply because we remained friends over the years. It was fun to see everybody; how all of our lives have evolved over the years. And of course, most of them have babies now. Lots and lots of pictures were showed.

The funniest thing of all, for me, was to realized that feuds that were happening 15 years ago ? Still happening !! Some people do need to get a life...

Only 4 of us, out of 36, are still active musicians. The rest of the bunch mostly hadn't been near a music instrument in almost 15 years so we decided to have a little fun and play some of our old repertoire. I know, we are such geeks !! People were going hysterical, laughing and panicking over the stuff. And spouses were also having a blast videotaping such extravaganza. It was a too short but very fun night.

The weekend also gave me a chance to spend some time with some of my nephews and nieces. I miss them soooooooo much ! Looking at the pictures, they do have their favorite aunt's personality... Yéééé !!!! But then, while spending some time with them, I got the dreaded question: "When are you gonna give us a new cousin ? 'Cause the others ones live pretty far and we kinda need somebody new to pick on to..."

Hopefully, in the near future sweety...

Recap...

I know.



I've totally sucked at the blogging thing lately.



Anyway, here is a recap of the last two weeks. And in pictures !








- Drove in the middle of a fog fest, which totally creeps me out and gives me panic attacks, so I could feel more at peace and drive a special someone to the hospital for an operation. And thinking about him and his ordeal didn't help me feel better either...






- Went to a wedding in a lovely little town (well, the picture represents about all that I saw, but it does look lovely!) I had a great weekend, thanks to Bob.

- Received flowers from a special someone. It's actually the first time that I've received flowers from a man. Well ok, 2nd time; I did received ONE flower from the very same special someone ages ago. And well, I know you've sent me flowers Nico but totally not the same thing. I knew you'd understand. ;)

- Started winning brownies points by cooking some man my very good lasagna. I think I'm getting somewhere...








- Browsed through a swanky furniture store for some design ideas. Can somebody please explain to me why somebody would want a $400 cushion with a lobster on it in their bedroom ??









- Had the greatest surprise and had an impromptu visit from Audrey. I truly miss the evenings we used to have in the old city. Truly.

- Did some concerts in that area. I didn't get the chance to visit however. But I'll fix that by going again for an audition in October!

- Had many great diners. I'll truly miss summer. I wish fall would be as amazing but it is not up to me, unfortunately. Some unexpected things happened for me over the summer. The only problem is; I have a feeling that I am heading on a one way street. I'll have to learn to be patient. But like the saying: "Love Hurts". And I'm definitely on that boat...
