Tatiana's Wanderings

The Canucks played Chicago tonight at 7:30, and won 3-0. They even got an empty-netter! It was the Sedin jersey retirement game! The ceremony was awesome - John Shorthouse, Dave Nonis, Markus Naslund, Trevor Linden, Mike Gillis, Marc Crawford, Alex Burrows, Jannik Hansen, and so many others! The twins definitely sent their well-wishes to Jay Bouwmeester, who collapsed on the bench during last night's St. Louis-Anaheim game because of a cardiac issue! YAY FOR HENRIK SEDIN AND DANIEL SEDIN!


From Jim for Valentine's Day 2019: Roses and white wine! How nice! ♥

From my ex-friend Natalie and College Humor: Puritan Valentine's Day cards! Roses are red, violets are blue, and neither are useful or necessary at all. I need you to help raise livestock and crops or surely we will starve to death come winter. You almost make my heart dance, and dancing is forbidden. Being with you fills me with impure thoughts, and I am ashamed.

COFFEE TIME! The Canucks played Buffalo today at 1 in a see-saw game which went to overtime, and won 6-5!


Smart Chibuzo?!




A friend of a Facebook friend posted this on her wall, and I thought it would be great for Kitty, Cecilia, and Teunis! "I'm not perfect, but I am Dutch, and that's kind of the same thing."




Kylesha was on PANIC 911?! Bonus: Her dad is named Kyle. I watched this episode at the townhouse on September 5, 2013! Reminds me of an Awana kid I once knew. Her name was Fresnona, and her dad was named Fresno.

After DOUBLE COFFEE TIME, I went out at 3:05 on a 407 bus to help with the kids at 4. I checked to see if Shoppers had any cheaper lip balm - I was unwilling to pay $9.99 for a little tube of Burt's Bees once I finally found it at the back of the store (even London Drugs has it for cheaper!), so I went straight to Mount Pleasant instead. Turns out Jon wanted to meet at Bellagio Gelato - worked for me, even if I had to wait for a bit. Hell, I could just hop on their wi-fi from just outside the doors. They showed up at about 4:45, and Ayler asked how long I'd been waiting, and about my route. I joked and said five hours, then revised it to 15 minutes. Beckett didn't seem to like his sunhat, but the kids got white bubblegum gelato (with no bubble gum pieces!) while I got some raspberry sorbetto. Of course I did the polite thing and thanked the ug! We tried offering some to Beckett, but he turned his head away like his brothers had when they were one year old. Maybe when he's four years old, he'll like it!

Ayler, Hiero, and I talked about the puzzle with the most pieces: 551,232 pieces?! I totally blew their minds with that factoid! They were impressed by the photo which I was able to find online, too. We walked or ran back home - with lectures about stranger danger and people possibly grabbing them - and I was able to hang out with the kids and Harmony. Catching Beckett whenever he crawled to the back window because he threw his red ball around, preventing him from fitting under the couch, his chewing toys and seeming interested in the Christmas baby books at times, almost tripping over crap in the way (hopefully not hurting Beckett), flossing, and ODE TO JOY piano music.

More origami, SIMON SAYS, some calorific pasta for Beckett (who just threw everything on the floor anyway), what had lots of calories, school and therapy, calling Dad for his birthday, reading books about bikes and trains, the double-layer puzzle, salad, Chinese noodles with peanut sauce, allergies, blueberries, calories, corn on the cob, and hugging Beckett to me when his brothers were being too rambunctious with pinches and he wanted support and security since we were all in a tiny circle... that was heartwarming and he wasn't scared of me! Ayler wanted me to come next week - sure, but do I have to smell their poo air?! They laughed at that, of course. I was able to leave at about 8 (Harmony thinks I did a good job with all the kids?!), grabbed the 3 Marine Drive Station bus, and was able to find some more lip balm x4 while I was out... gotta have backups! At least I was able to find the beauty section at T&T - $1.79 for one tube is way better than $9.99 to $11.99, no matter if Burt's Bees is more "quality" than Chapstick! I also grabbed a pack of Paldo Bul Jjamppong noodles on my way out. Got home at 9:30 on a 407, which is good.


Yes, there is a literal Cool Chinese Restaurant near my place. They took over the old space when the old Mad Greek owners retired!

Not-so-dear random and selfish Dreamwidth user: My journal tags are for ME and MY CONVENIENCE, not for whoever else happens to stumble across my journal. I don't care about a random user searching for stuff about movies. YOU are the rude one for suggesting that my tags should be for anyone and everyone. Also, that entry had 169 tags, not 100. If you're going to complain, do it right.




No, it does NOT mess with the functionality of the site!

From Oddee: Texting with Mom! Mom: "Hi, honey, how was your day? 8=======D" Son: "WTF MOM! WHY'D YOU TYPE A PENIS EMOTICON?!?!?!?!" Mom: "I don't know what you mean. 8===D is an alien smiley face." Son: "No, it's not. It's a penis. Who told you that?" Mom: "Well, I saw it in some of your brother's texts to his girlfriend, and when I asked, he said it was an alien. Wait, so 8=====D- {()} isn't an alien getting on a ship?" Son: "... No, Mom, it isn't."

The FINAL FANTASY V SPOOF party makes it to Surgate Ghetto. The soldiers ask them who they are. "Galuf Halm Baldesion. I believe you have six warrants for my arrest." Apparently, criminals are treated like royalty there, but they still hate Jews like Faris!




( Lots of weird library shelves in the Surgate Ghetto! )
