the grass is always greener

So, I admit to watching too much tv. It's not a crime, yet. TLC used to stand for The Learning Channel. But nowadays, what do you actually learn on that station?? Well, if you have some odd deformity, have way too many children, can't dress worth crap, or are short, own a tattoo parlour, you too can have you're own reality tv show! Where do they find these people? Do they hold auditions, with the only requirement being if you are oddly fascinating, we'll sign you up and btw where do I sign up? But what I'm really referring to are some other shows TLC airs 1 offs. Like The 1000lb man, The Tree Man, The Half Woman. I've watched them all. And the one thing I noticed about each of these titled characters is that these people have 1 thing in common, okay 2 things. What is it you ask??
All of them, married, and by the way, not to each other. Each of them has found someone to love them, just as they are (in the words of Mark Darcy , as portrayed by the delicious Colin Firth in the movie Bridgette Jones's Diary)

Now I'm not saying that people who are viewed to have a disability can't or shouldn't get married but hey, I don't weigh a 1000lbs, nor do I have warts all over my body which cause my limbs to look like tree branches, but I do have a body, a whole one with no missing parts or un necessary bits, well except for my gut, but I'm working on it, okay! But the point is, I can't even get a date.

Which brings me to this. Peter Pan man got married. He could get married. This is a man who has a website he created, devoted to himself where he posts pics of himself dressed as Peter Pan. This is his website about his wedding to Princess Dorothy. pixyland.org/peterpan/OurWedding1.html. He could get married. He found someone to love him, just as he is.
All was well in the world when I knew I wasn't alone in the "being over 40 and never married barrel"that I shared with Peter Pan dude but now, sadly, I only share it with Jennifer Aniston, and not even because at least she was married once, to one of the hottest celebs ever and she couldn't even keep him! How am I, mere mortal that I am ever going to get a man , if hot jennifer, look at me I'm 40 and fab, and happy can't even keep a guy????

Even all my back up boyfriends are all married. I think the boat has left the harbour and has set sail without me!

Anyways, just saying!!!

Hmm, just finishing watching the finale of the Bachelorette . I swore I was never going to waste time watching this show again, but I only watched because the bachelorette is from Vancouver, and once again got sucked in. This is how strange the show has gotten the past few series. A few bachelors ago, I think the guy, Brad? didn't choose either girl at the end. Then after that, the one of those girls Deanna, became the bachelorette. She ended up picking some loser skater dude and breaking the heart of second runner up Jason dude, who then became the next bachelor. He in turn picked Melissa at the end but decided at the "after the final rose ceremony" to dump her ass and picked up with Molly, 2nd runner up, instead. Which leads to Jillian who was Jason's 3rd runner up. Still with me? I did not watch any of those series, honestly, only the recent one, and the last episode or of Jason's run, who by the way, total loser. Anyhoo, Jillian ended up choosing Ed, plain old boring, short green short shorts, Ed. She did have some pretty decent guys at the very end, who all wanted to marry her! YEah, I think this one's gonna work out, really! The most exciting rose ceremony ever! On to Dating in the Dark... hahahaha.

My bitter heart!

if you can't stand the heat...

Get out of the kitchen. I'm actually in the kitchen, staying away from the sun and trying to remain cool. I love the sun but lately, I can't handle the heat! It's supposed to get up to 30 degrees this week, which means my un-air conditioned workplace will be around 40 degrees. help! Also, I'm feeling very lazy... and sleepy...

So, what's new? I've been told by a few that I haven't been very bitter lately on this blog, and told by another that, yes indeed, I am bitter!! What to do? If you notice though, my blog is entitled, BeeBitter, rants, raves, tales of woe and funny things, topics I feel I have covered.

Am I currently in a bitter state?? hmmm.... not really. My sister is watching a real bad made for tv movie. I myself wasted 2 hours last week watching what had to be the worst made for tv movie ever, i think called the HOuse Next Door, but I think this one, I believe called All Around the Town, is worse, if that's even possible. The one I watched last week starred Laura Flynn Boyle, and that Zack guy from Saved by the Bell. That alone should have been a sign for me to just turn the station, nothing to see here, move along.
I did in fact see Laura Flynn Boyle for reals, about 9 years ago. This was when I worked at WCA (wacked- out, crazy ville, and a-holes, I mean West Coast Apparel), which was on the outskirts of skid row, a nice seedy area where seeing hookers plying their goods out on the stroll at lunch time was not uncommon. Anyhoo, I was with a co-worker and we were headed to Hastings St. to catch the bus home. I saw up ahead a woman with the thinnest legs I've ever seen, and again, not uncommom for there are plenty of crack hos who look like that in the downtown eastside. As we got closer to the woman, who's thighs were the size of my forearms, I looked up and noticed it was LFB. This was at the height of her herioin chic look and before she did something weird with her lips.
Back to the movie. I knew I should have just stopped watching, but you kinda watch, try to see if it gets interesting and before you know it, an hour has gone by, and you've already wasted it so you figure, what's another hour, so you're forced to watch to the bitter end. Okay, I think I got my bitter back!

Did watch part of Raiders of the Lost Ark today. I haven't seen it in years. One of my all time favorite movies that I must have watched over 20 times, back when Harrison Ford wasn't a grandpa and looked majorly hot. Forgot how hot he looked... now I must admit, he's looking around 55 instead of his actual, wow, 67 years!

Shout out to my peeps "CHELEN", who were married yesterday! Congratulations!

Gotta go waste some time doing something else, like melt from heat stroke.

freebies and the japadog

It's sunny and beautiful outside and I am sitting in front of the computer writing this! I love sun, but lately I've been shunning it, especially between the hours of 10 am to 2. What's wrong with me? I haven't even been down to the beach, to beach myself and do some reading! Perhaps the urge to burn my skin will return in August.
Until then, not much else happening in this life of mine. Still lazy,
Okay, one point of interest. Last saturday I got a parking ticket. I was headed back to the car and that's when I saw the meter person. Damn! She just got me! So i plunked another quarter in and headed back to the store a friend was in trying some clothes on. Meter person happened to be in the store and I told her what had happened. She said that I could call a number on the back of the ticket and tell the rep that she said I could get a courtesy cancelation. It's a one time deal on the plate of your car. So, tip to all you 3 readers out there if you get a parking ticket. But don't go telling everyone,heh heh.
In other news, each week Starbucks has a pick of the week card of 1 song you can download free from Itunes. If I'm in a Starbucks, which sadly is more common than not, even though I'm trying to boycott them, I pick up a card. A new one is available each Tuesday. I feel it's my one way of getting something back from them for spending too much money there. Well it's kind of and really I'm not getting it from Starbucks but from Itunes, but free is good!
Oh, I finally tried a Japadog! For those not in the know, it's a Japanese hotdog that is over priced, but damn good!
The one I tried was $6.75 - I don't know, is that alot for a hotdog?? It had a mayonnaise type dressing, some sort of teriyaki like dressing and seaweed on top. I know it sounds kinda grim but it was delicious! There are freestanding locacations at Burrard and Smithe(picture above), Burrard and Pender and the newest location is at Coal Harbour community centre. I was down there a few weeks ago walking around and noticed the stand with no line up! Usually there is a huge line up so I've never tried one until I came upon their newest location. I swear, they'd make a killing if they'd open up a stand in the area I work in.
That's all for now. No real bitter news except the usual complaints- I'm fat, I hate my job, etc. Oh, I've also included a picture of my gnomes - all but one. I think the outdoor gnomes are jealous of the indoor ones, and the indoor ones are envious of the outdoor ones. I really do need to get a life.
