WHY DOES THIS NOT STILL EXIST??

life is so not fair. I want breakfast with barbie everyday.

Fun fact about working for the government

People say "flip" instead of "send". For example, "Flip that email to me" or "I'll review it and flip it back to you". Makes them sound cool I guess. Maybe they all have secret juggler/acrobat ambitions. My whole directorate should join the circus.

Trésor de la cuisine

Last night we ordered pizza and serenaded the pizza delivery man. This song is infectious. I bet they play it in the back of pizzerias to motivate the employees as they throw the dough in the air. Can anyone confirm or deny?

candy for breakfast

I've come to a sad realization. I think I may be addicted to candy. Not addicted in an "I love it and I like to eat it all the time" kind of way, but in an "it's 3pm and I haven't eaten candy yet and I'm going crazy kind of way". Like some kind of physical dependency. I place the blame entirely on school for dictating what was always terrible eating habits. Maybe I should have seen this coming back in January of 2010 when I caved in 3 days in to a month long candy-free challenge, and made out with a certain person who's name rhymes with gramy.

Now that I've come to the realization that until A and E's intervention gets ahold of me or I develop diabetus that I will never kick this habit. So I need to find a way to further profits off this addiction. So thus begins my weekly review of candy, new ones, old ones, foreign ones, stale ones, you name it I'll eat it.

These are my crack. My kryptonite. My all time favorite candy (of this month). I've been on a life brand sour gummy worm kick for awhile now. I get depressed when they're sold out, and I grossed out my co-worker the other day when I ate an entire bag for lunch. Because there was a two bags for $4 deal I couldn't help myself, except that there was only one bag of these left. So I reluctantly took a bag of sour peach rings, and as I ate them for breakfast this morning I felt a longing for the gummy worms.

The life brands take on the worms are the best. Although the almighty Bulk Barn has a take on them, they fall short of sub-par. I will eat them like crack too, but I would like to remind you that that sort of behaviour is based solely on my ever-present need for sugar. I would say that the bulk barn worms seem to absorb the taste of the bags they're in, resulting in them tasting like plastic bags. Life brands taste like heaven.

I give them *****/5 stars. I would give it 6 stars, but then I may lose my credibility as a professional candy reviewer.

Next week's cand review will pay homage to Twerpz, and the efforts there-after made to replace them.

If they Mated

So a Facebook ad totally worked on me. Check it:

Of COURSE I want to make a creepy 100% accurate frowning robot baby before I die!

So faced with this opportunity, I had to jump on it. Once I thought about it, the whole exercise reminded me of that If They Mated segment they did on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I was kind of hoping our baby would turn out like one of those:

 But alas, I think professional photoshopping techniques went into such genius. So what would you get between Grace and Amy?

I used photos from the time we dressed as Sailor Scouts for Halloween, hoping that we would spawn some Sailor hybrid child. Alas, the only resemblance is the general smug look our "child" bears:

Meanwhile she was apparently not born with a powerful magical tiara, but instead has a dirty forehead....apparently this Internet tool is 100% accurate after all.

Cool or Fool??

So I got myself a pair of fur earmuffs this year! Brilliant invention! When you are zipping about in the wintry air, your head doesn't get too hot, and you don't get that dreaded chill on your ears. And while its been established (by me) that earmuffs are very cute on girls, can the other gender pull them off? The manly kind of muffs I mean, with polar fleece, that wrap around the back of the head. Chris (below) claims that a classmate at Algonquin College last year was ridiculed for donning Man-Muffs. Then again, Chris is more of a function over fashion kind of guy: What's the word on man-muffs, COOL or FOOL?

His ears be cold

Manmuffs?
