Pilot's World Headquarters Moving!

Well folks, I'm moving Pilot's World Headquarters AGAIN (fourth time since she opened!). So I'll be offline for a few days. I expect to be back online by Friday. I had hoped to have SMS posting up and running for the switch so I could keep y'all posted, but no such luck.

Not looking forward to the next month, posting will likely be spotty, I've got too much on my plate. Frankly the mere thought of it all is kinda making me depressed. I think in the New Year I'm going to have to re-examine my participation in things like the Lions Club, Old Skool and other things. It's not that I dislike these projects in my life, far from it. I just can't make the commitment necessary to the other people involved.

Frankly this weekend is going to be terrible and I'm not going to enjoy playing music.

That's a fucking crime.

ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF WEYBURN!

The pictures are the following:Vote and vote often!

It's my party and I'll cancell if I I want to...

So about a month ago my good pal Kristie brought up the need for our "group" of friends needing to get together over the holidays for a party. I volunteered knowing full well that my ex would need to be invited to the shindig. I wasn't happy with the idea, but sometimes it's time to move on right?

Well now I'm looking at the situation and I'm wondering whether I should bother at all. In addition to the fact that I and Shawna are going to be uncomfortable there will be no less than 4 other uncomfortable pairings at the party should everyone show up. Not to mention the presence of an increasingly divided group and a change in the morals of everyone as we divide, and I'm not sure the party will be a good idea.

Plus I have to wake up at 8 the next morning for Christmas at my grandparents.

The bottom line really is, does anyone really want to do this, and is it a good idea? I know I want to see everyone that's down and maybe some social time with Shawna will help me let go. But I know this party is gonna have a lot of divided groups and the house really isn't very big.

So what is a guy to do?

Well Danny is Gone

Shame it had to happen to such a nice guy, but business is business and football is football. And in Saskatchewan, we want our cup back.

Jeremiad

Wanted to be disposed of

Ok all, working on the move and in addition to the usual pile of crap I'm throwing out, I'm also phasing out the old beer bottle collection. So if anyone wants it, it's got some antique, rare and cool foreign bottles in it. If no one speaks for it by Wed night, I'm throwing it in the recycling bin at Sarcan.

Crappy Pop Songs

Here ya go folks, some really shitty pop songs I get in my head everytime I hear them.

Too Little Too Late - Jojo -- Oh crap... I hadn't even seen the video... but I bet I know all the words already. Heard it twice on the radio today alone. She gets all wet at the end.. sorry for ruining it.

Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson - Jesus. I hate American Idol. But you think I can get away from this shit hit? Hell no. I put it on mix discs. Entire mix discs of Since U Been Gone.

Get The Party Started - Pink - Ooooooo ATTITUDE! And Pink in a towel. She still looks like a boy. (Hey your bra is showing!)

Toxic - Britney Spears - Really quite shocked it made it past the censors.

Underneath Your Clothes- Shakira - Sorry is it hot in here? She looks even hotter as a brunette.

Beautiful Stranger - Madonna - Yeah she's old, but still catchy. At least you get the entertainment value of Mike Meyers on this one.

Bills Bills Bills - Destiny's Child - Hey, this one can be enjoyed on mute.

Notice how all these songs start with a little sketch explaining why the women are so broke up about what's going on. That's because the music lacks SUBSTANCE. Yep, I'm sure it's MP3's that are killing the music industry.

OK C'mon now!

So I've been trying my best to put a few new tech gadgets on Pilot's World. Mostly just for organizing and some new posting options. Frankly I'm getting pissed off at the whole thing. Blogger has a new Blogger in Beta that allows alot of new great options, biggest of them is categories.

Blogger won't let me update Pilot's World yet.

Also been trying to hook up SMS (Mobile Phone) posting through a few different methods and programs, to no avail.

I'm just getting frustrated, and I'd like to switch, but I've got 2 years worth of posts here and I'd like to keep it that way.

YARGH!

Get Nailed Today!

Some facts on the "Flu Shot"

... and it didn't hurt a bit!

Hmmm.

Purple or Aqua?

Uh Oh Politcs on Pilot's World

Ok so I don't often comment on politics, but I do follow them closely and form opinions on many of the issues of the day. I like to argue at length with people about how stupid they are and and how freaking cool I am because of my political views. Everyone is wrong but me.

Unfortunately I never seem to talk much about politics on Pilot's World. Worried it will take over really... turn into this crazy hippie hick manifesto and end up ruining and/or saving the planet. I started Untitled with Shanna hoping I'd get it in somewhere safe... in fact it's why I start all my blogs. Turns out maybe I should just do it all here. Close my other blogs, post that shit here and maybe get some interested viewership. Save a step.

So I'm gonna give it a try... a good political post for y'all.

Then I was sitting there tonight watching Rick Mercer (yes, even my humor TV watching is political... sue me) and he was talking to the speaker of the house. As the interview ended it occurred to me, does the speaker ever accidentally wear his robes home? Like when I worked at DQ there would be days where I'd be so upset and eager to leave that I wore my apron home. It must happen to the speaker he's just heading out of the office all like "I swear if Stephen Fucking Harper says 'tax cut' one more damn time..." or "Does Jack Layton even OWN a tie?" and just forget to drop off the robes. All in a huff driving down the freeway in his 2004 Kia Magenta.

Makes you wonder...

What to get Pilot for Christmas / Housewarming

Ok so I've had some family/girfriends ask me what I want for Chirstmas this year (I was kidding about the housewarming... tho I do have an idea for that one, but that's for another post... another day... and it won't cost you a thing). Well I've decided as part of the Jeremy Getting His Fucking Life Together Project that I'd like to have a home that doesn't look like every college apartment crammed into a 100 square foot area anymore. I want a comfortable clean living room, a great kitchen, a bathroom with a shower mat and a bedroom that doesn't include a sleeping bag as one of my bed covers.

Now I'm not saying that I haven't had some nice stuff especially after I graduated, but the move coming up will be move number 13 or 14 since I graduated in 1999. That's like 2 moves a year. Fuck. But you know how moving is, stuff gets broken or lost or stolen and on THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS transferred to an alternate dimension (fucking stargate).

So to start, I'm gonna work on the kitchen, because I love to cook and I want to get into it more. I've got links for alot of it because I'm going for a "look" for most of this stuff. I do plan to put up the financing for most of it myself, but I'll wait until after Christmas to make any purchases and I'll update the list in June just before my birthday. In July. On the 15th. (nudge nudge)

THE KITCHEN
Ahh the Kitchen - My Home away from home.

I love to cook and frankly of late my kitchen is composed of crap, shit and broken crap. The only thing that works to spec in my kitchen is my garlic press. So we're gonna start there.
As you can see it's unpolished stainless steel with black highlights. I'll add to that scheme clear glass and white plastic and we've got a start. So here's what I need :

-Pyrex
- Casserole dishes - in sizes ranging from those small personal ones to a good sized family
- Rectangular Cake Dish - Smaller Square One and a Bigger Rectangular One
- Pie Dish
- Bowls - Three or four sizes - small to large
- Graded Measuring Cups
-Cookie Sheets
-Pizza Pans
-Roasters (Small and Medium)
- Good Set of Pots and Pans (very low on the priority list... please don't worry about gifting this one).
- A good set of knives - Cleaver, paring knife, chef knife, bread knife... you get the picture... a set with a wood block. If it can fit the colour scheme, that would kick ass.
- A large spice rack
- Cutting Board (black plastic and/or white plastic. I'd prefer two one in each colour-matching)
- Set of about 10-15 small glass oil bottles. (matching the spice rack would be smashing)
- Utensil Set (spoon, ladle, spatula etc)
- Set of silicone spatulas
- Medium sized and small whisk
- Can opener
- Set of measuring cups and spoons
- One of those spinning things that you put utensils in (black or stainless steel)
- Barware - wine glasses, table glasses, everything. Again, this is low priority right now and I might just pick it all up myself at once so it matches.
- Dinnerware - Plates and utensils. I'm liking black and stainless steel here. Something funky yet male. Seriously no fucking flowers.
- Storage containers... Rubbermaid - Tupperware whatever... any sizes, small to large (remember white and clear if possible)
- Canisters - I have four in white and clear for my pastas and rice. I wouldn't mind a set for coffee, flour, sugar and such. I'm thinking I might just take care of this one myself as I've already started the set and I know how large and how many I need.

Appliances-

Well I don't expect the plumbed fridge and gas stove to come, so I won't ask. But there are a few mid-range items that perhaps some rich people might feel generous enough to buy for me. In reality I'm just writing them down so I remember for myself.

- Stand mixer
- Coffee Maker
- Toaster (big one guys.. I used to have two, now I have none)
- Food Processor
- Slow Cooker
- Popcorn Air Popper


Anyways that's a good start. I'll probably fill most of it in myself. I'm gonna work on my room, living room, studio and bathroom too, but you people aren't that interested I'm sure. I can do it m'self.

Peace y'all!

The Celebrity F**k List Meme comes to Life!

Ok so they don't quite all seem to understand the idea of the meme, but here are the participants so far!

Andrew - Randomjunkification
Corey - CD's Playhouse
Rhonda - Rescue Regina
Danny - Ralph Wiggum is my Hero
Jeff - George Bush Sucks

Keep e'm comin' folks... and remember the idea is to encourage your readers to do the same... it's like a virus.

Of course as soon as you get it done you think of a million others - Anne Heche, Jennifer Tilley, Rose McGowan, Julianne Moore, Mark's mom... but I guess we can only hope so much... the idea of the list is damage control not a free ride with any celebrity who will drop trow in front of you.

I'm Glad I'm Not a Beagle

They have these defective anal glands and every time something goes wrong, someone is gonna stick their finger in your ass. Well Bootsy had her checkup. Her anal glands were impacted, which means they were full of this stank ass brown shit. Poop smells better than this stuff. WAY better. If I had to pick between smelling anal gland juice and say a pile of month old dog poop... month old dog poop wins hands down.

Other than that the vet thought she seemed good, teeth looked good, normal temp, healthy eyes and all... just behaviourily different. So she cleaned out Boots's pooper and we're gonna observe. Then as soon as she gets better, she's got a date with a needle.

So do I later this week. They really gotta figure out how to give shots via pill ... or better... beer.

The Meme So Far!

Ok so as far as I know I've only had 2 people participate in the Celebrity F**k List Meme. But that's ok, it's an abrasive subject. If you want to participate, details are here.

Anyhoo, the entries so far have been from the wonderful Rhonda. And the questionable Danny, who seems to think I know anything about networking (I don't). EDIT - Also the dapper and debonair Jeff has entered on his blog.

But I gotta run, I think Bootsy might be really sick, so I'm gonna give the vet a call.

Photo Contest Entry #3 - Stacked

Entry 3 - "Stacked". Lovin' this contest! More to come!

Photo Contest Entry #2 - Don't Fuck (With a Guy Wearing a Pink Floyd Cap Holding a Gun)

There ya go... entry 2 ... briefly named "Don't Fuck (With a Guy Wearing a Pink Floyd Cap Holding a Gun)". and just for fun... not a contest entry, I'll include some of the other source pics I worked with. Because its not often I get the chance to photograph myself with a gun. Guns are alot of fun to hold.. they are a very comfortable tool... way more comfortable than a hammer.

Incidentally, I'm not gonna go psycho and kill a bunch of kids at a school. It's just the BB gun we use at work to shoot pigeons.

Pilot's World first Meme!!!! Celebrity F**k List

Ok.. for those n00bz out there a meme is like a blog community challenge. I do this little challenge then you do it and pass it on and so forth... its like a getting to know each other chain letter. But this one isn't impinging on your in-box, and if you choose to ignore it a piano will NOT fall on your head.

OK, that's out of the way, now my meme... that I'm STARTING!

So I was discussing with someone... can't even remember who right now... Trev I think... about the Celebrity Fuck List. A list of say ten people that each person should they meet in real life and have the opportunity, can have sex with without consequence... the other partner can't say anything. Trick is, they have to be like big time celebrity... like untouchable... there's actually one on my list I'm not sure of, in such a case, the partner has veto power.

So Like Brad Pitt, yes, the guy from the Dell commercials, no.
Katherine Zeta Jones, yes, the newsgirl from the FM Station, no (plus Corey would castrate me).

without further adieu, my 10 :

- Nicole Kidman
- Mellissa Auf De Mar (need verification)
- Shakira
- Katherine Zeta Jones
- Judy Dench Charlize Theron
- Salma Hayek
- Minnie Driver
- Sarah McLachlan
- Brittney Spears
- Beyonce Knowles

So there you go.... meme away... I wanna read your lists. Make sure you post a link to them in the Comments so other people can come check it out!
