Baby moving (Baby inside belly)

I know this one's crazy but I had to post it. I met with my beloved Metta last night and over hot apple cider and chai lattes we spoke of becoming mothers and how we were getting to the place where we were looking forward to it. Then I saw this this morning and I'm sorry kids but that is like some crazy alien like shit going on. Sooo I think I can wait.

English Lessons In Japan part II

Hi kids I have returned!!! (yet again!!!) I felt the need to post this. I came across this video that I'm assuming was made to help Japanese people learn English. I don't think they also realized that it would also entertain thousands!!!! I wet myself thrice watching this.

Blogging

2006-08-28T08:41:00.000-08:00

Kids I really should be more pro-active with my blogging. I came to this epiphany last night. I need to document my thoughts more. This I promise to do but just not today.

I'm Back Again

2006-06-14T06:13:00.000-08:00

So alot has happend in my life since I last blogged. I got married to a wonderful man and I'm now pregnant with child... Just kidding I just got married and I'm not preggers.. at least not yet. We got married on the beautiful island of Tobago, on the beach of course. It was gorgeous. Nothing but sun, sea and sand. It was really lovely and I wished you all could have been there. Now I'm back I have to re-adjust to life. I wish I were still there. Sitting on my rented beach chair, on the white sand taking in the not-so-good-rays. Ho Hum

Genet Tags Zamboola

2006-03-17T11:46:00.000-08:00

Okay folks I'm back thanks to the wonderful Genet and his tag. These were my instructions:

"List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they are any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to."

Wow luckly I've been working out like a crazy horse at the gym and I always have my trusty iPod in tow. Hmmmmmm....... okay here goes.

1) Hot Chip - Just Like We Break Down (the DFA Remix)
2) Soul Wax - Another Excuse
3) Black Eyed Peas - My Humps
4) Out Hud - It's For You
5) LCD Soundsystem - Too Much Love
6) Digitalism - Zdarlight
7) Photek - Solaris
8) The Sundays - I Feel Fine and
9) Madeleine Peyroux - Dance Me To the End of Love
10) The Stranglers - Golden Brown

Okay so I got a bit carried away and I but they have been in high rotation on my iPod
as of late.

Constipation ...

2006-02-16T20:12:00.000-08:00

Kids as of late I have been so mentally constipated. Like really really constipated. I have all these crazy thoughts running around in my brain and I haven't been able to share them with you all. Everytime I try to create a post I start to type and by the second sentence realise I can't find the words to describe what I want to say and I abandon the entire posting idea.

Maybe it's because I'm stressed. There's just so much going on in my life right now, like weddings, finding a new job, buying a house and losing weight to fit into the wedding dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is dumb and so unlike me........ I very rarely grt stressed.

I wish I could take an elax-itive.....a mental one I mean ;)

Interesting!!!!!

This picture is apparently used to test the level of stress a person can handle. The slower the picture moves, the better your ability of handling stress. Criminals that were tested see the blue dots spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still. This image is not animated - it is perfectly still! Crazinesss!!!!!!!

Singing Sally You Are Still Da Shiz-nit!!!!!!!!!

2006-01-30T13:03:00.000-08:00

Singing Sally you are definately being missed by Zamboola!!!! I called you the other night but no one answered so I did not leave a message. I read your blog all the time, it is soooooo funak-ular!!!! When will you be coming back to Toronts? Polkaroo said on the news the other day that he may be getting married......

I Heart Funnies!!!!

2006-01-30T10:18:00.000-08:00

Silly Wabbit!!!!

2006-01-30T05:39:00.000-08:00

How freakin' cute is this little bunny!!!! He's a "Lionhead" wabbit from the UK. They're so small they can fit in the palm of your hand!!! (well I don't know that for sure because this little guy is only a baby, so he probably gets bigger.) If he was "mines" I would name him Mr. Bunny-Jedi-Ferocious!!!!!

Shame On You Mizzz Winfrey!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-01-28T11:10:00.000-08:00

Okay did anyone catch the Oprah with James Frey the author of "A Million Little Pieces" (it's about drug and alcohol addiction and his susequent recovery)? It was horrible!!!! Now I'm not an Oprah lover or hater but she was horrible to James on that show. She completetly pulled her weight around !!!!!! I was soooo not impressed! Okay fine he lied and embellished some of what happend and she was felt "duped" but c'mon did she have to bring him on national television only to talk down, and belittle him!!!!!!! It was so uncomfortable to watch him sheepishly sitting there having the "mighty-queen-of-daytime-talk-shows" wave her finger in his face and go on about how she belived him and backed him. PLEASE!!!! She was the one who initially called to defend him on Larry King Live, saying the facts weren't important but the underlining story was.
Oprah didin't have to be so mean about the whole thing. Yes he lied and she backed him then recanted. Stupid thing is I think all this publicity will only help him as I'm sure every Tom, Dick Harry and Mary-Jane will run out and buy the book. Then again maybe no one will care!

Genet you couldn't have been more on the ball(s)!

2006-01-22T11:24:00.000-08:00

Genet you are my soooper star and you are so right I should post way more often. It's just that as of late I've had nothing interesting to write about. So I wait until I'm inspired.....

Disturbation at it's finest.

2006-01-16T17:33:00.000-08:00

Up to about a minute ago I was seriously thinking about buying or adopting a cat. But now..... well I don't know how I feel anymore by this. I mean I really feel for her and she's so small and everything but I'll keep it real folks .... I AM VERY DISTURBED.

Craze-acular!!!!

2006-01-16T17:08:00.000-08:00

Okay peeps take the stupid test (care of totolehero) and share whatcha got. I was a 45% Hello!!! I thought I'd be way lower!!!!!

Ich hasse die "Golden Globes" und alle Schauspieler (that's not true I really don't hate them)

2006-01-16T16:37:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure what to say..... It's been a long while since I have posted. Crazy things have happend in my life but I feel amazing !!!!!!! Long gone are the days of boring unsatisfactory jobs. Here to stay are days filled with promise and better jobs!!!! Yeah!!!!! Ich bin sehr zufrieden!!!!! (I am happy!!!! - did I mention I spoke a bit of German.)

Anywhoooo as I said life is good! On a side note tonight the Golden Globes are on and I'm not going to watch them because I couldn't give a flying fart about what the celebs are wearing, rather I will check out the websites to see who won what tomorrow. I would tell you the actors, directors and films that I'm hoping will win but I have no idea which films or who has even been nominated. I know I'm so behind the times. Oh well que sera, sera

What Are You A Cow?

2006-01-04T11:30:00.000-08:00

Okay so I'm in the bank today waiting in an excruciatingly long line (there are only 2 tellers available to about 15 customers, odd but whatever) when all of a sudden I hear a sloppy wet chomp-chomp in my ear and the scent of spearmint begins to enlighten my nostrils. There is a lady standing behind me chewing her gum like a starving cow in my ear. Am I being too judgmental and critical? Like come on!!!!!!!!! If I wanted to experience (and I mean full on digital surround sound) sloppy wet chewing I would either chew my own gum with my mouth grossly ajar or just adopt my very own cow.

..... Okay kids am I just a mean person?

The Holidays Are Over Already! (Booo Hoooo)

2006-01-03T07:41:00.000-08:00

So it’s Tuesday January 3, 2006 and it’s my first day back at work.
So funny!!!! My office was open yesterday and everyone was expected to be in for work, and everyone was in for work, ya everyone except me I thought because yesterday was a stat holiday our office was closed!!!!! LOL WHOOPSIES!!!!!! Whatever?!? Anywhoo….

I had a week off for the holidays and that week was amazing. I went to bed most nights after 3:00 am not worrying whether or not I would be able to get up the next morning. Most mornings I rolled out of bed at 2:00 in the afternoon. It was truly amazing. Now I’m at work and wishing I were still on my week break again. Work bites!!!! I think it only truly bites because it isn’t satisfying for me so I’m bored most of the day. It’s a pity that we don’t have the option of just staying at home and growing the money we need from trees in our back yards. How crazacular would that be???? Anywhoooo I realized that I have neglected Zamboola’s Joint for a number of days now so here are some updates:

Update #1: My New Years Eve was very quiet this year. There was no walking 100, 000 miles to get back to a hotel in a no drunken stupor or anything ridiculous like that. It was a nice quiet evening with family. At 12:00 I hugged and kissed the BF and felt happy because I was with all those I love. Then in true holiday spirit we drove from suburbia into the nether regions of the city and had a couple drinks to toast the New Year. So yep it was nice.

Update #2: My new Years resolutions are as follows:
- loose weight and eat more healthy
- drink more water and less alcohol
- take my vegetarianism more seriously - give back to my community by becoming more involved in my church's outreach program

I think that's it ...

Resolutions

2005-12-29T14:43:00.000-08:00

It is December 29 and after some serious thought I've decided on my resolutions for the New Year. Oddly enough most of them have been carried over from the last year.

Okay where to start..... I'd like to eat more healthly and go to the gym at least 3 to 4 times a week. I think it would be best for my overall well being to lose some extra pounds and start eating better. In fact I would like to cut out all red meet... well lets say all meat. Just stick to my fruits, veggies and beans for a while. So no Whoppers, Big Macs or KFC.... holy crap that means no more curried chicken goodness!!!! (shock and horror with mouth wide open face!!!!!) It's for my own good I guess and I'll feel better for doing it.

I'd like to be less self fish and not take my loved ones for granted. I want to give more to those I love. I have been way too me me me in the past.

I know there was more......... but I forgot the rest there was supposed to be more. Maybe I will recover my inspiration later tonight. We'll see....

Being Contructive Only Makes You Hungry

2005-12-29T13:37:00.000-08:00

I was sooo Martha Stewart today I decorated and cleaned up my room that has been a mess for the past 5 .... no let's say the past 4 months. I found clothes and shoes and things I forgot I even owned!!!! It was very hard work but I managed to pull it off. I felt good being uber constructive today considereing that since the day after Christmas I have both stuffed my face with yummy left overs and tonnes of chocolate (ummmmm..... chocolate.....) then felt so guilty because of my glutonny, ran to the gym and remained there for hours working off calories. After the gym I would return home and stuff my face again then sleep. So it felt good to do something other than binge.

Now I'm bored.... and of course my mom's cooking. Why ??????? Can't she just stop for one day???
She's an awesome cook and all and it's hard to resisit all the goodness she creates.

I don't give a crap. She's making curried chicken and rice and her curry is the shit. So.... ya ..... I'm gonna go fill my face with deliciousnesss now.

New Years Poo Years!!!!!

2005-12-28T06:26:00.000-08:00

Okay so today is December 28. It's about 9:30 in the morning. I just woke up and the first thing on my mind is WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!!!!!!!!! In my early 20s New Years used to be a big deal for me, but now I'm not so sure I want to make my way down town to some club that's gonna be way over priced at the door and crazy packed just to get drunk off my face and then kiss my BF at 12:oo. Or do I???

Last New Year's I was in Paris at the Lizard Lounge and both myself and the BF got drunk off our faces and kissed at 12:00. It was awesome, we were in Paris!!!!!! Well everything was awesome except for our 7 hour walk, rather hike back to our hotel (there were no cabs available and we had to walk from the 5th to the 13th section. This was extremely hard to do especially because both of us were seeing double) Whatever FUN TIMES!!! We bonded!

This year I think I may want to spend it with my fam first until 12:00 then hit Gypsy Co-op or Revival or somewhere after. Must make it there before 2:00. Maybe we could meet up with some of our friends where ever they be. Who knows.
New Year's isn't that big of a deal. It's only the end of one year and the beginning of another. Right?!? Whatever I'm harping on this too much....

I love Milk....

2005-12-27T08:01:00.000-08:00

I'm sitting here listening to Gani's Podcast and it's really starting to hit me. I love Milk . What would I do if these guys didn't exsist? I would probably be left picking my nose and staring out the window wondering what it felt like to sit back and absorb awesome tunes!!!! I love Milk!!!!! Gani your Podcasts are the bomb!!!!!
