My shout out

My sister's boyfriend started an online gossip rag and has asked friends & family to write about it.

Cam, here's your shout out for www.gossipfeast.com

Check it out and stay abreast of what Britney's up to. Hmmm, maybe using the word "abreast" is not the best idea in this context.

All in the name of research

So, I finally had a quiet night in with my XBOX a couple of weeks ago. Took it home along with a couple of shooter games a colleague lent me. After having spent several hours with Gears of War, I'm still barely able to walk forward and forget about when people start shooting at me. I didn't even manage to get through the tutorial :( But I DID have fun shooting my guns randomly and throwing my body against doors and railings. That latter was not done on purpose but fun nonetheless.

The next weekend, I picked up Guitar Hero II as I'm currently working on another rhythm game. How FUN. I'm now absolutely addicted and played over the whole long weekend. And I RAWK. Well, in I do in easy mode anyway. This weekend was going to be all about Need for Speed but I haven't quite gotten away from Guitar Hero yet.

Here's the best part and why my family hasn't stopped laughing at me. Last Sunday, I went out to Future Shop and bought a new 32" flat screen TV on a whim and mostly cause my previous 21" was just too small to play games on. Yes, I can admit it.

Toothbrush woes

This is one of the funniest stories I've heard in a long time so I had to share it. I did warn my friends and family that if they did anything blog-worthy, they should be prepared to read about it.

My younger sister moved back to Vancouver a couple of weeks ago and is bunking down at my parent's place. The other day she was vigorously brushing her teeth and when she was almost done, looked down and saw her toothbrush on the counter!! She obviously freaked out and we had a great laugh about it over the weekend. When I asked who owned the toothbrush, she couldn't answer.

Today she got her answer. Sort of. Apparently, my youngest brother had used this toothbrush to CLEAN HIS GOLF GEAR. I can not even begin to imagine the germs and dirt she was swishing around in her mouth. Even worse, my brother very reasonably pointed out that it would've been a waste of money to buy a new toothbrush to clean golf gear. That means that at some point in the distant past, this was someone else's toothbrush! Sick.

So the origins of the toothbrush remain a mystery but the story remains hilariously disgusting anyway.

Oh well, this is the same girl who ate doggie treats by accident so I guess she's going to be fine. You'd think that at 25 though, she would know not to stick everything she sees in her mouth. Perhaps she's learned her lesson but somehow I doubt it.
