Love that movie!
Ahoy hoy everyone!
So, according to the closest groundhog to my city, it'll be a long cold winter. Which sucks donkey balls as We've been mostly in the -20C range past two weeks, sometimes dipping to -40C with the windchill!
We had a brief glimpse of spring for a day, but that was quickly dashed with snow by the end of it. Think it's time to put my flask to use. Drinking booze is a good way to stay warm right?
All of this freaky weather did a number on me and I am now fighting off a cold. So lots of hot tea and being lazy for me this weekend. Which has been a fun one so far, cold notwithstanding. Hung out with my sis, ate lots of food and watched a few movies. T'was fun :)
And with that, a short entry today, since I'm starting to feel tired. Have a good week everyone, and let's hope for an early spring!

- Resolutions are going ok. Sorta. been being more active, and just a little off of my goal shape. sloth wise, is getting there too. been setting goals for myself especially at work and mostly getting there. As for the relationship business... no comment :\
- Currently watching the hockey game in a snuggy. What? It's comfy and the habs are sucking right now :( I need comfort.
- I need to congratulate Jewels and Kat for taking part of the polar plunge! WOOHOO!! wish I could've been there to cheer you ladies on.
- Been waking up tired and sore muscles these past few days. I'm hope I didnt catch anything.
- Friday will be the third anniversary(?) of my godsis leaving us. Emotions come and go. Miss her dearly.

Resolutions
Ahoy hoy everyone!
Hope 2013 is starting out great for everyone out there! Mine was spent with close friends, food, booze and games. It was fun and a great way to start the New Year, even though I am absolutely tired today, heh. It's not quite over for me yet either as there's a big dinner planned for supper in a few hours with my family and apparently other big meals during this week.
And this is a perfect way to segue into my resolutions for this year.
I usually don't do this, but this year I have a few small things I want to improve upon and they are achievable, so I thought I'd write them down so I could look in on them when I needed a reminder. as a bonus, I'll vaguely split them into my favourite sins, cause well I feel like it....
Gluttony
So over Christmas I went to visit a really close friend (also the person that drama was revolved around in the past, I'll get a little more into it later). Had a great time, and as usual, with her, gluttony is a sin we enjoy a lot together. It's a surprise we do not end up weighing 500lbs. Although over the past week, I did add on an extra 9lbs. It's not too much, but I want to nip that in the bud. So after the holiday meals are done, it's back to eating sensibly and exercising. It's something that I usually do, but I do fall off the horse often, and I want to try to keep it a little more constant this year. This out of all my resolutions should be the easiest to maintain as long as I'm healthy and no "pains" re-occur.
Sloth
I can be a very lazy person, I know, shocker! I also know it won't change overnight, but I do want to be a little more active. Whether it be at home and definitely at work. I always do what needs to get done, but I want to procrastinate a little less. Concretely, that means picking a task at work that needs to get done and just work on it until it is, even if I have plenty of time to do it or if it's tedious. As for home, it means spending a little less time online and doing other things. Now my home is far from disrepair, but it's little things like even just playing more of the games I have collected over time. The internet has become a crutch for me and while not at addiction level, it's time to re-discover some other old "loves". Whether it be movies or games or whatever might strike my fancy.
Lust
Well this resolution is a bit of a stretch to call it lust, but I have a theme going dammit and I won't stop now. This will be the hardest resolution to keep since a lot of it is base on emotion. Essentially, I need to think about what I want in a relationship. I've had lots of drama this past year, but more fun and happiness. So while I don't regret a single second, I do need to think things through. the first step to this is to truly be happy single for a bit and the hard part, is to be ok with it. I do think I am in a better headspace thanks to 2012, I just need to 2013 to cement that in. As I said, this is the tricky part because emotions are always a bitch and you never know who can catch your eye and turn you until a babbling idiot (as opposed to my regular idiocy).
So there you have it, my resolutions to try and curb my favourite sins somewhat. While I will still indulge in them (especially the first and last :D ) I will do my best to follow these resolutions and hopefully be an even better Bo Bo at the end of it.
Hope everyone's had a great New Years Day! Cheers!

These are just a few of my favourite sins....
Ahoy hoy everyone.
So I had a friend visiting the city for the first time this week. My first out of town guest and I got to play tour guide! was a little nervous, I would hate to be a bad host, but apparently, she had fun, so it's all good. the one thing I told her though before she arrived, was that she needed to bring her appetite, because if there's one thing this place is good for, it's food.
And I love food.... which brings me to the title of this post.
fod and I have a love hate relationship. In that I love food, will try almost anything at least once. The hate part comes in food being so delicious, I sometimes don't really know when to stop. Often I will eat to the point of feeling discomfort, meat sweats (you're welcome for that lovely image) and just all around feeling of "Oh my god I will never ever eat so much in my life again!"
Gluttony, my friends, it's a sin. One that I indulge in frequently. I'm not proud of it, and it's a wonder I do not way 400lbs. But what can I say, it's all so nummy!
And in the spirit of gluttony, the holidays are upon us... and I will be out of here for a little bit :) So just in case, have a happy [insert holiday here]!

Names PSA
What's this, another post from me? In less then a week?
First of all, let me all allay (ooohhh that's a fancy word, I hope I'm using it right) your fears, yes this is really me Bo Bo. My blog has not been hijacked and I am not being coerced by anyone to post this.
So anyway where was I?
Oh yeah! So this is a public service announcement to expecting parents and people who are planning on having offspring. Give you kid a UNIQUE name! That's right, the celebrities have it right in naming their kids Apple, Coco and Kyd. Yes, these are all real names celebs have given their offspring.
Bo Bo! Why would you say such a thing you ask. Well, sit down around the fire (it is that time of year right?) and let me tell you a story. This is a story about... hmmmm to keep things anonymous let's say it's about B. Bo.... no that's too obvious.... Bo B. there we go. Anyways, Bo have a fairly common name and last name. Not John Smith common, but common enough that a US customs agent once mentioned the fact that there seems to be quite a few Bo Bo's when checking my passport.
Well today, Bo received an email sent to him, addressed to him from a mortgage loan company about filling out a form with condo info. Problem is, he isn't on the hunt for a mortgage. More so, the company is a US company, Bo is a crazy (as evidenced by the use of the third person in telling this story) Canuck . Now, if it was just a one time thing, it wouldn't be a problem. But, Bo has the following email address: bo.bo@gmail.com and gmail has this thing where the period doesn't matter. You can write it as b.obo@fakemail, bobo@gmail.com etc. And the other Bo Bo's out there do not seem to have grasped this.
Bo has received, rejection letter from an IBM interview, update on new Health Insurance policy, gaming site updates (for games in a language that our hero does not speak and don't get him started on the spam). As well as update and renewal info for a YMCA in Virginia, amongst other things. You would think by now, Bo's doppleganger would get his email straight, but no. every few months a new email addressed to fake-Bo appears.
If original Bo wasn't such a nice (lazy) guy, he might've created a whole portfolio on fake Bo an applied for some credit cards or some such..... Instead, he just replies back when it's an important email that this is not the Bo you are looking for.
So in conclusion, don't name the fruit of your loins John, Jane or some other common name... Instead call them Grand Master Funk the Third or Cocoa Channel No5. It will cause them a lot less email grief in the future and would be much harder for people to easily commit identity theft.

I'M ALIVE!!!!!
AND I HAVE CAFFEINE COURSING THROUGH ME AND I AM BUZZED!!!!
Alright, sorry for the caps. I'm calm now (not really).
I've been cutting down on coffee since it hasn't been playing nice with my tummy these days. But today I really needed some.
I know, I know, it's been forever since my last post. It'll probably be forever until my next one..... but I digress.
So what's been going on with me. Relationship ups and downs. Single past couple of months now, but I'm in a good place again :)
Work has been a killer. Ugh.... I had that dream that I had a test and completely bombed it. Got every question wrong and to make things worse, the test was given by the CEO of the company. Now that's messed up. However, I have a week off coming up and an awesome friend will be visiting to see me.
My first out of town guest. I'm excited and nervous too. I mean, I hope I'll be a good host. Should probably stock up on vodka.....
Speaking of Vodka.... go see Kat's blog for a chance to win an awesome mug perfect for holding said vodka. And tell her Bo Bo sent you so I have better chances of winning said mug. Cause I wants it....
Alright that's enough rambling for me. Writing this at work, and they still frown upon blogging at work... boourns!
Hmmmm I wonder if there's any Bailey's around to add to my coffee......
Take care everyone!
