Desperate Housewives.

Say Hey Hey!

So Me and Gerard are house managers this week. And everything that cook go wrong while cooking did go wrong. Lol. It was the funnest thing ever! Gerard cept burning himself, cut himself, then i totally took the cake but burning a chair and almost setting it on fire. I set a hot pot on a stool with a cushion on it and it burned in seconds. I made potatoes and everyone in the group LOVED them lol. they were actually pretty damn good if i do say so myself. We got free deer meat too. Gerard is a vegetarian for moral reasons so to speak, he doesnt beleive in slaughter houses so he ate the deer meat too.

So everyday we had to get up at 9 and then eat breakfast and shower, then get to the house work. We had to clean the living room, kitchen, bathrooms, the yard and that sorta thing. We usually were done by like 12 at the latest. Then we chilled and watched Digimon for 3 hours while munching out on leftovers. Then at like 3-4 we'd start on dinner. We didn't once make it on time for dinner. Cooking is so much FUN! Holy crap. Cooking with Gerard is a blast. We'd laugh so hardcore at all the mistakes that'd we'd make... solike every 15 min we'd be laughing. And it was nice doing meal plans with him being a veggie, so we could make proteins for the veggies, just him and Claudia. So i found out that kidney beans take 4 HOURS to cook. Dear god. It nuts. And lentals, dont actually take that long. It says boil them for 5 min and let simmer for 1 hr. And its 500 ml of water over the lentals. So I pour some water into the pot, dump a bunch of lentals into the pot them boil the shit outta them for like 15 min. Gerard tasted them; that's our way of finding out if something cooked, taste test, "Lowen the chicken done?" *Lowen Eats Chicken* "I think I just got samonela so not a little longer" "Cool dawg."; and he thought they were good so it worked out. On Wensday we made pancakes and didnt have enough, so on Thursday i made damn shure there was enough. We had two regular sized pans of nachos. Each pan had the following. 1 1/2 bags of nacho chips, 3 peppers, 2 onions, 3 jalapanos, a box of mushrooms and like 1 kg of cheese. SO DAMN GOOD! HOLY SHIT! LIKE WOW! lol Tonight we shall be making a vegetarian dinner tonight. Rice with a sauted veggies and a curry sauce over top. There beans in the curry for protein so its all good! Lol.

On Friday, we had free time so we phoned St. B and Steinback and we went to Winnipeg for the Fringe Fest. We saw this weird ass Freak Show. It was even that, it was just a 4 man theatre show with no singing. But Gogol Bordelo got played in it so it wasn't that bad. After that we went to explore then saw a street performer. He was a contortionist... on stilts.SO BAD ASS! =D He held onto a broom, behind his back, threw it over his head. Then under his legs and popped his shoulders back into place. He then got onto stilts and had a girl from the crowd put a ring up each stilt and he contorted his way threw both of the rings, WHILE putting a tennis racket over his head and climbing all the way threw the tennis racket. We flipped shit. So incredible! Then we trawnched around for a while. I got a lemonade from a Lemonade Heaven stand, it was the best lemonade I've ever had. Just plain delicious. After wondering by every vendor, we walked down the road and saw a club. We leand against a wall across the street from the club cuz there was nothing better to do. Two bouncers walk out with a REALLY drunk chick over there shoulders. They set her on the side of the road and walked away. She had two friends with her tho so it was that bad but still, I was shocked to see that. They just walked away. So we sat a watched this chick and all the friends that came and went for like 30 min. Then we saw a guy cross the street with SOO much swagger. Like just strutting this shit outta the street. So funny. Then this white dude came out to talk to the girls. He was such a wangster. Pants were like an inch above the knees, always holding his crotch. Lol. What a douche. Lol. One chick realized that we were watcheing and told her friends. Ian stared down the white guy. It was hilarious. We left to fallow the white guy toward the Fringe and got some more lemonade. We went back and a friend finally showed up to pick the drunk chick up. We walked to our meeting place and got on the buses and came home. When we got back me and Gerard had to make beard for lunch on Saturday though so it was rough. I passed out watching house tho so Gerard finished the bread.

On Saturday we got to go to the zoo with the other groups. We saw two prairie dogs trying to rape each other. It was hilarious. Then we checked out the monkeys. So awesome! There were these stupid poster around the park. "Why does a cow sweat out off it's nose? Because that's were their sweat glands are!" Well no shit. Afterwe went for a picnic at a little park not to far from the zoo. Sandwichs and fruit and veggies. Oh boy! Lol. We got to go to the Forks, were two rivers met in Winnipeg. Seb was with us the whole time so we got a tour of the area. We slowly walked to the Fringe again and I got some more Lemonade and a SKA mix CD. We got home at about 5 or 6 so me and Gerard went to work on supper. We had potatoes because my potatoes on friday were so awesome. And some left over deer meat, samon, and corn. It was tasty. We got free time to do what ever, but by the time that supper dishes were dun it was like 10 so they played Headbanz while i was watching House. Then we started watching Sex Drive, it was alright but i got tired so i crashed.

But its tiem to begin the dinner prep so I must be off.

Everyday I'm Shufflin'!

Say Hey Hey!!

So now that Frog Follies is over I have some time to sleep so i can stay awake long enough to blog it up.

Well. Frog Follies was a blast. I got the chance to work with Seb, a town worker who works for St. Pierre en Boon. We pretty cool, cept for being a bombers fan. I had been doing set up and prep work for the festival with Rolly, my boss, last week. On Friday night, there was a massive bingo night, but only 6 people went there. Me, Steph, Spencer and Gerard went with Rolly to the golf course to help with the Frog hunt. We drove people around to different ponds in golf carts so they could hunt for some frogs to compete in the festival. It was fun, a nice break from doing labour work. It was soooo hot. All weekend. Then on Sat I began with Seb. The Katimavik groups from Stienback and St. Bonifest joined too. Like I said I was working with Seb, running errands for him and helping him out with what ever he needed. He was like one of the head organizers for the festival so he was a busy man. It was kkinda quite. After lunch we went back to help out and me, JD, and Sammy (she from St. B.) had to go bottle water in a town for the company that was donating water for the festival. We were there for about 3 hrs. It was kinda rough. Really boring. But we got pizza for supper so what evs. That night a bunch of us gottogether and went out to the bar. We went to check out the social that was going on but it was too exciting so we went back to the bar. good night man. lol. On sunday it was more chaotic. Claudia, Sebs other assistant, helped him and i was helping out with the pancake breakfast. It was crazy busy. After that i had to help set a hall up for the party that the Eg Society was having. It was crazy setting everything up. The sound techs made things a little more compecated but in the end it was worth it. Our group worked soo hard the entire weekend and was always on task that we got one hell of a reward. The Eg Society gave us a SHIT TON of food. Like over 100 L of juice mix, over 1000 ganorla bars, over 200 rice crispy squares and so many crackers and canned fish. It was like 600 buts of snack food. We dont even get 600 for our groceries every week. It was so encredable. Like crazy. I didnt get many pics the entire weekend but we all gunna share so heres to hoping.!!

I started as house manager with Garard this week. We had baked mac and cheese for lunch on Monday, then rice roasted veggies and chicken for supper. SOO good lol, even tho Gerard burned the rice. It kinda tough thinking of veggitarean meals to. But Gerard is veggie so it helps alot. Today we had chicken salad for lunch and then Ground beef, corn, roasted carrots and potatoes for supper. it was pretty good too! and we didnt fuck up our bread today!! YAYA!! Sandwichs for lunch tmrw!!


But battery deing.
