You have to admit, those are some hardcore moves to bust out in the SF Apple store. They were so hardcore we nearly got kicked out. Totally busted.
Also, Justine’s Flip Ultras gave birth to a little baby mino on MacBreak. There were celebrations through the Pixel Corps office….. until a stray dingo was let loose…
PPS. this was only a short excerpt of a day that started at 8am and ended at 2am with the only kind of craziness that you can capture on 5 iPhones, 4 flip videos, a Canon G9, and photobooth… ooh and my Lomo!
I was a die hard football fan when I was 15. I loved Manchester United, and Team Brasil. Enough to name my lil grey tabby cat, Romario. (He had excellent ball handling skills for a cat). That summer, I bought myself some serious umbro gear and headed to soccer camp. I will admit that my enthusiasm for the sport may have had a teeny weeny bit to do with the cuteness of certain players in the glossy posters I hung in my room. Maybe. But I sure had fun playing that summer, two broken toes and all. How did I break my toes playing football? Well, like the three previous times I broke my toes:
Kicking my Grandmother’s metal tea trolley;
Kicking the toilet seat whilst dancing in the bathroom;
Running into a sliding door;
In the most awkward way possible. Yeah. Coordination. Not. So. Much. My skating coaches were super thrilled when I had to take the first week off summer skating training because I couldn’t fit my swollen, black-and-blue toes in my skates.
Anyway, Man U was the best team then, and always, especially after the 4-nil pummeling they gave Arsenal in the FA Cup quarterfinals. Booyah!
Independent Thought:
If you have taken care to be on cheap cruises rather than the expensive cruise deals, naturally you will also care about the other expenses. Why not try a travel lodge this time instead of staying at expensive hotels?

The Canadian Figure Skating championships were held in Vancouver this week. I managed to get up in time to see the Senior Dance event at 5pm. I know. I’m still on that 7am bedtime routine I seem to be good at. And I am a perfectionist, so everyday I try to perfect my unhealthy sleeping habits. I think I’ll go for gold tonight. 8am! yeah, that’ll win me some high marks from the judges. Oh yes!
As you might know from my bio, I once graced the ice… mainly with my bottom at 6am. People always ask me how I got up at 5am almost every morning for 10 years. That, my friends, can be answered in one beautiful word: Nap.
I’d get home from skating, hop in a nice, hot shower, eat some carbolicious food and some protein shakes, then get right back in bed where all the warm goodness is. I could never sleep for very long, but even 20 minutes was glorious. Then, I’d wake up, strap my rollerblades on and cruise right into class… 20 mins late.
You never learn anything in the first 20 mins anyway. Right? Anyway, it’s a wee bit late to fill that gaping hole of knowledge in my brain. Perhaps I’ll fill it with some useless youtube clips. Yeah, and like some really sweet tweets about Starbucks consumption, or like more buzz about another Apple product I can’t afford.
Congrats to the lovely Bethany Puttkemery and Kevin Gallagher, the last remaining old skool CIDA (Canadian Ice Dance Academy) peep left in competitive skating. Props! Those were some serious twizzles.

Anyone for a quick game of badminton? I have a wicked serve, so you’d better watch out. Plus, I’m uber competitive and have been known to smash rackets into abstract shapes in the heat of passion. That’s why I always carry a spare racket. Games are intense these days. Everyone just needs to chill out… jeez wiz, it’s summertime after all.
