My Camera Is Pissing Me Off

Every photo I take is blurry.

It's getting worse not better.

Will it cost me more to fix my camera than it would to replace it?

I'm not prepared to find out right now.

I apologize for the substandard quality of my photos.

A Nice Afternoon

It was nice having my parents come over today.

The odd thing is that I had my camera out on the side table 

and I didn't take any pictures.

It was a relaxing afternoon and it was nice to see my living room look

like some living went on in it.

 Of course I had candles lit.

Almost every plate & bowl were used.

And finally, a very happy dog.

He loves my parents.

We Have Our Snow

Last night, I heard someone shoveling the sidewalk in front of our bldg.

This morning, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing,

and it's the kind of cold that makes my eyes water

and nose hairs freeze.

There is still some snow coverage but mostly, there's ice.

Crockett didn't seem too pleased.

Maybe I'll try again this year to put those balloon boots on him.

I think it looks pretty, fresh, and clean.

The photo below is a close up of a section of the photo above.

Nature is awesome.

You can't see it, but it is really windy.

I figured how to remove the date stamp.

I'd set it in error.

Icy sidewalk in front of the park.

With our douche bag mayor Rob Ford, the public sidewalks

will most likely remain unattended.

There, I Said It

This year, although not entirely in the Christmas mood,

I did say, more than ever before,

"Merry Christmas"

I think I was, in a way, rebelling against the multiculturalism

 oversensitivity that Toronto has become.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with multiculturalism.

I do however, as controversial as it may seem,

feel that new immigrants to Toronto need to

understand that for me, being born here, I have the right

to wish people a Merry Christmas without them

getting their knickers in a twist and claiming racism or intolerance.

In all our Toronto TV, radio and print media, we note and celebrate:

Black History Month

Chinese New Year

Passover

Ramadan

Eid

Rosh Hashanha

Yom Kippur

Diwali

Hanukkah

Kwanzaa

So, being born here, why can I not say

without being made to feel like I am an intolerant white supremacist?

Seriously.

Political correctness and the Canadian need to be polite

and sensitive to everyone over myself has really pissed me off.

Everyone in Canada has the right to their own beliefs.

Mine include wishing people a Merry Christmas.

There, I said it.

Californication Season IV

I got my Mr. Season IV of Californication

and we watched it today.

Showtime

I have to say that David Duchovny as Hank Moody

is one charismatic sexy sexy man.

I like the scruffy, need a shower and a shave look,

and he was like that for almost every episode.

Hank Moody is the guy you want to have a 

wild weekend with, but that's it.

David Duchovny plays this character so well.

If he was my husband, I could not watch this show. Ever.

I'm looking forward to Season V.

Merry Christmas

and Happy New Year!

Twas The Afternoon Before...

We had a busy day.

We were up & out by 9:30am.

Back in, comfy jammies on and relaxing by 5:30pm.

Every bone & muscle aches.

I hate shopping walking.

It's more like strolling.

Took Crockett to the park when we got home

and the cold temperatures we've had the

last two days have wilted the weird cabbage plants.

So it looks like no snow for Christmas.

Truthfully, it has made getting out and about easier.

I've enjoyed the crisp cold sunny, dry sidewalk, days.
