Joyeux Anniversaire, Mon Ami!

So young, and yet so wise.

Happy Birthday to Cell Phone Boy. 26 years old, and S-M-R-T-er than men twice his age...

And a hell of a lot more fun.

I can't really say anything about him that I've not said before, so I won't I'll just-

Piece Of Cake

It seems that every few years or so, a large slew of friends gets a brush with fame. Three years ago my friend Zozo got invited to a closed audition with P!nk. One of only 20 North American Girls, and the only one from Canada. Another friend who designs leather accessories was getting recognized nationally and yet another friend started getting major movie deals.

Well, it’s that time again. As you read last week, my friend Leela was nominated for, AND WON, a Juno. Zozo's new CD, 'Essence of Life', is taking off. And my friend The Halfaneese has become a YouTube Star.

You see, The Halfaneese was quite a pastry chef. He created the most beautiful cookies and cakes that you could imagine, not to mention a long list of other delectable’s. Two and a half years ago he filmed a pilot for his own TV show, 'Piece of Cake', and things were looking up. The show was sent to a major network, but sadly, there was a ‘changing of the guards’ of sorts… one executive went out, one came in… and The Halfaneesees pilot was placed on a shelf.

Well, due to the creation of YouTube, buzz has been starting all over. The producers of the show have put it up for the world to see and within hours people all over the world were blogging about it… not to mention the chit chat about his whole portfolio. And now it’s my turn…

Here is a link to the first quarter of the pilot episode where The Halfaneese consults a man about a cake he is going to create for a surprise party. HE MAKES MANN’S GRAUMAN'S CHINESE THEATRE!!!! OUT OF CAKE!!!! It’s simply amazing.

I had the privilege of getting my dear one to make a cake for my birthday. Those of you who have seen ‘Steel Magnolias’ will catch the reference and joke, those of you who have not seen it… go watch it and look at these pictures again.

“Is Armadilla’s all you make?”

“Oh no. I can make all kinds of animals… Except snakes; I don’t have the counter space.”

“It looks like an autopsy.”

Anyway… when you have twenty spare minutes, watch the pilot. It is so worth it. You will be amazed at what this guy can do. Also, don’t forget to check out his portfolio… Armand The Armadilla is featured! And Her Royal Pinkness's Fluvlog shoes. And that Barbie cake… and the Little Abner cake… and the Star Wars Cookie.

It’s all too much. I’m getting a cavity just thinking about it.

Happy Easter!

Sure this is old, but I still laugh and laugh each time I see it.
Oh how I laugh.

No Joke...

I have been sitting at the computer for a good 45 minutes, trying to think of a good April Fool’s Day prank to post, but nothing decent has come to me.

I did start writing a story about my cocaine/meth/crack addiction, but then I though that might be in poor taste to anyone who might have really lived through one. I was gonna write about my desire for a sexual-organ-reassignment surgery, but then I thought that would be far to out there. I was going to write about my finding Jesus this week and devoting my life to doing His work, but then I lost interest. So I have no April Fool’s post for you today; and that’s no joke.

However, I did get a text message from The Boyfriend saying that a dear friend of mine just won a Juno. At first, I thought this to be a joke on me, but after researching online for the past 10 minutes, I learned it to be true.

Congratulations Leela. You’re the rockingest rocker that ever rocked!

For any of you that may not have heard Leela’s music, click here for her MySpace page to listen to some songs and download one for free.

In the past, Leela has been nominated at the Juno Awards for "Best Music of Aboriginal Canada (2003)" and has won three awards in 2002 from the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards: Best Female Artist, Best Folk Album, Best Songwriter. This weekends Juno Award adds wonderfully to that pile.
