Oh, Maple Leafs, Why Do You Hate Me So?

Ugh, the Leafs are just terrible to watch.  They’re not winning, they’re giving up leads left & right, and even the return of Kyle Wellwood means nothing to them.  Nothing.  Every season, it’s the same thing.  Me and my high hopes.  Frankly, who would’ve ever guessed that the Tie Domi Leafs were the Leafs to beat?  The Tie Domi Leafs made the playoffs.

Speaking of crappy teams - I renamed my 0-8 fantasy football team the 0-fers last week because they’ve just been so darned, uh, good.  Every time I have someone good on my team, they’re guaranteed to be injured.  Ugh.  But finally, finally, I won a game.  I’m sure it’s only to spite me because I changed the team name to the 0-fers.  However, I’m now the 1-fers, so look out, I’m on a roll, man.

Vote For Rosemary Rowe for President!!!  (er, or Best Individual Blogger!)

Damn, November 2007 is a month that Rose will never forget.  Firstly, and most importantly, she and her gal/girlie/chick/partner, will be getting married in Toronto.  At nearly the same time, Rose will be competing on the CBC’s Canada Writes radio show.  As if that wasn’t enough, Rose has made it to the finals of the Weblog Awards, as Best Individual Blogger.  You can vote once a day until, I dunno, at least the 7th, as the awards are on the 8th at The Hard Rock Hotel - it’s too bad the girls aren’t honeymooning in Vegas to enjoy a bit of the Best Individual Blogger Finalist glory.  That’s a tremendous category.  I had no idea that Rose was super famous when I started reading her blog, and courting her girlfriend to sign a contract for me at work.  Here, I just thought she was smart & funny, but I did not know she was known worldwide for teh smart and teh funny.

As if those accolades weren’t enough, Rose & Kate’s new adopted pup, Emmy Lou, has been named Shar Pei Rescue Playmate of the April 2008.  Our pets are so jealous!

Britney - C’mere, I’ve got a non-profit that you can help

Did the rest of you read about Britney’s finances?  Yeah, I’m reading gossip, but it was on the Huffington Post, so it wasn’t like I could avoid it, right?  Heh, like I would.  This is the important part of the article, Court papers released Thursday in Britney Spears’ custody dispute with Kevin Federline show she spends lavishly on clothes and entertainment, and doesn’t save or invest any of her roughly $737,000 monthly income.  Spears’ monthly expenses include $49,267 in mortgage for two houses, $16,000 for clothes and $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation, according to her financial declaration.

Does that poor girl not have a financial consultant?  That kind of money isn’t going last forever.  Well, I suppose it really could, if she would invest just a small portion of it.  Man, it blows my mind thinking about an income of $737,000 a MONTH.  It’s sad that she hasn’t invested anything for her kids (to be fair, it’s not like they’re teenagers or anything - she has a little time) or donated more than $500 a month to charity.  I have just the thing for her, the Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary.  If she gave us $100,000 a month, we’d make sure that our little rescue did great (er) work, and I’d even set up a trust for her kids’ education with part of that money.  Okay, maybe we need a little more - her kids are going to need a lot of money to keep them in Chee-tos and Starbucks.  No, seriously, Britney, call me.  Send me an email.  You can come over and play with the foster kittens, although I’d appreciate it if the paparazzi were ditched somewhere on the Strip.  That’s it, go into one of the clubs...and then go out the back door and come over to our house.  We have 6-7 Starbucks within five miles of our house, so your non-alcoholic beverage needs can easily be satisfied.  It might not be a bad idea to give up on the booze for a while - it hasn’t done you any favors.

C’mon, Brit, let’s build this cat enclosure for our rescues, k?  Imagine how much fun you’ll have coming to visit - it’ll be just like a vacation.  It doesn’t hurt that we live in Las Vegas, right?  We’ll even babysit the boys.  We’re totally responsible - the judge would approve.  Oh yeah, and if cats aren’t your thing, we’ve got dogs too.  And birds.  You can teach Blackjack how to say y’all

Even if you don’t help us with our rescues, please get a financial advisor and a second one to make sure the first one doesn’t steal from you.  Then, invest...for your future and for your kids’ futures.  You’re not going to be able to put out dance albums forever.  I do quite like the new one though, and I’m sure it’ll make you a pretty penny.  Oh yeah, and do a little something to promote it, why doncha?  It’ll make you more money and give you more time to find that financial advisor without ruining your future.  Speaking of your future - you could use some new friends, maybe a couple of old lesbians who stay at home a lot and watch hockey games.  We’ll even let you in on the Canadian secret that is Cheezies.  Yum!  Much better than Cheetos.  We happen to agree with your Starbucks habit, so that, you can keep.

BlogWorld Expo - Is Anyone I Know Going?

Is anyone going to be in Vegas next week?  Friends, acquaintances, people I’d like to be friends or acquaintances?  The only people I know are just people I know of, not even people whose blogs I follow regularly, I don’t think.  Oh, and my employer.  So, if you’re reading this right now and you’re going to BlogWorld, speak up.  Leigh-Ann is going with me, but her, I already know.  I was going to talk about biblical senses and stuff, but that’s not necessary.  But hey, our 10th anniversary is this month, on the 15th.  And they said it wouldn’t last.  I’m kidding.  No one said that.

So, anyway, who’s going BlogWorld?
