Threadless

Who doesn't love amazing original t-shirts? Nobody! I discovered this ubercool website www.threadless.com that lets you submit t-shirt designs and then all the members can vote on their favourites. They pick their top favourite and make them every week!

On top of that you can earn money on the website to go towards more shirts by taking pictures of yourself in their clothes. This is a picture of me in my new favourite "Hypotamoose" triangle shirt (the antlers are from the latest Keith's birthday party). I also have the "99 Luftballoons" one and the new "Planetary Status" one.



Check it out and don't blame me if you get addicted.

McDreamy, McSteamy or Finn?

With the new season of Grey's Anatomy underway, I've become addicted to the show yet again. As the main character, Meredith was forced to choose between her male suitors last week, I decided to throw the same question out into the public domain (or as public as my MSN account is). If you got to choose between some of the handsome men on Grey's Anatomy, who would you pick to be your doctor of looooove?

Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Sheppard aka Patrick Dempsey

Dr. Derek Sheppard, also known as Dr. McDreamy, was the original objefct of Meredith's affections. Complications arose however when she discovered he was still married and his wife moved to town. We spent most of season 1 pining for him but by the end of season 2 he seemed a little too damaged to be trusted again. Will he break Meredith's heart a second time?

McDreamy is the leader with 9 votes.

McSteamy...aka Eric Dane

Dr. McSteamy is the adulterous best friend of Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Sheppard until he sleeps with Derek's wife, Addison. McSteamy is the bad boy of Seattle Grace, with a killer body and sultry looks. He isn't actually in the running for Meredith's affections but I figured I'd add him into the poll anyway.

McSteamy has 6 votes. (And interestingly enough, mostly boys have voted for him.)

Finn aka Chris O'Donnell

Finn, played our hunky Chris O'Donnell, is the sensitive veterinarian who patiently waits for Meredith to pull her "dark and twisty" self together. Cute, but with a somewhat creepy moustache, Finn is the 'better' man who would offer Meredith a safe future and lots of cute animals.

Finn currently has 4 votes.

Mmmm...turkey!

This was the turkey going into the oven....would it turn out ok? Yes it did!

Erin and I with her amazing lemon meringue pie!

Let's get the vegetarian to carve the turkey!

This is our lovely spread.

Doesn't Steve look pretty with Erin's fake hair on?

Gobble Gobble

This Thanksgiving my roommates and I hosted our first real grown-up turkey dinner. We organized a potluck, got a turkey and started on our big "rite of passage" into adulthood. Course, we did it with a call to my parents for turkey advice every two hours, but then come on, I didn't want to poison people.

Erin and I got up early, and popped the turkey into the oven. We stuffed it, poked it, basted it and amazingly it turned out perfect! I even made gravy from scratch!

All of us invited a few friends over and we had so much food it was incredible. Butternut squash soup, potatoes, bean casserole, salad, sweet potato pie, dips, stuffing, pumpkin pie, chocolate triffle, and lots-o-lots of wine!

Think Pink!

When I woke up this morning at 7 am (and couldn't remember why I'd set my alarm that early) I didn't think that by 9 am I'd be painting faces, chests, arms and various other body parts.

The reason? The CIBC Run for the Cure which is a fundraiser for breast cancer. This year some friends of mine from Saint Mary's organized the first all-male team called "The First Timers" and I tagged along to cheer, take photos and paint. We sprayed hair, shoes, shirts, and socks bright pink. I painted tshirts onto guys and even did a couple fake beards in the pink paint.

The turnout was amazing, over 7000 people! My roommate was volunteering, something I want to do next year, and they apparently ran out of registration forms and tshirts at the main site. This run takes place every year in Halifax, I highly recommend being a part of it in any aspect. Check it out to find out how you can get involved here.
