In other exciting, well, pretty cool news, I went to a cabaret-type show on Friday called “Hold Tight, it’s 70’s Night!” It was too great. Thanks to one of the girls who had seen them before, we had front row, centre stage seats (not that we sat all that much) and we spent 2+ hours singing, dancing, laughing and talking back to the people on stage. All the favourites from the 70’s: “Don’t Go Breakin’ my Heart”, “Waterloo”, “I Will Survive”, “Right Back Where We Started From”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Livin’ Next Door to Alice”, “Super Trouper”, “Kung Fu Fighting”, “All Alone Again, Naturally”, “Nutbush City Limits”, “Proud Mary”, “Saturday Night’s Alright”, “Blame it on the Boogie”, “When I Need You”, “Aquarius”, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon (Round the Old Oak Tree)”, “YMCA”, “Domino”, “Thank You for the Music”, “Take a Chance on Me”, “Spirit in the Sky”, “Blockbuster”, “Yellow River”, plus, plus, plus… We sang, we danced, we screamed for more, we laughed… we had a great time? Oh yes, that we did. The show has played at a different venue in Holland every night since April 17th and this Saturday night they're going to be at a theatre fairly close to me... hmmm... maybe I could convince the girls to go again...

I can see again!!!
Hmmm… Perhaps I should elaborate... I was in Wednesday morning I found an optical place not far from the hotel and the Dr. (a Canadian from All that changed on Saturday when I picked up my new lenses. I’m almost back to normal now! Apparently though, it was a good thing that I lost that left lens (which I’d had for like 20 years), because I see now that that eye has changed and I’m going to need a new prescription anyway. P.S. Losing the lens had nothing to do with the apple martinis or the shot of tequila that was consumed that night. Honest!

It won't be like you'll be missing my posts...
... but my lurking will be suspended for the next week or so while I'm away. Lurking may resume before May 7th, but if not, certainly after May 7th. This has been a public service announcement.

A late posting - just can't wait til next week...
OK, so, Monday night I'm flipping through channels and I come across some guy talking about anatomy. There's a male model standing beside him and as he steps onto his mark, a projection of human musculature is beamed onto his body. Rather effective, really. ( Then, ) So, Monday night tv for me consisted of: Grey's Anatomy Men in Trees 2, back-to-back episodes of Friends Anatomy for Beginners A veritable couch-potato evening.

The non-countdown continues....
Only one more sleep to go... if I can get through this day... damn. You'd think that 3 weeks would be enough to get everything organized so that I could go on holiday and not have to worry about leaving stuff to be done while I'm not here, wouldn't you? Well, let me tell you something, I don't think 3 months would have been enough! Anyway, I'm going, even if I'm not ready and I'm not going to stress about it while I'm away either! Tomorrow morning - 0720 - Amsterdam-Frankfurt-Montreal-Moncton - 1635 local time. Anyway, back to work so I can get out of here on time!

First of all.... Happy Birthday to my nephew Kyle - 6 today! Wish I could be there kiddo! Second of all... I won't do a countdown here, at least not every day, but... 21 more sleeps until I'm on the Miramichi!!!!!!!! Edit: I got my dates wrong... Kyle's birthday is Sunday, not today... oh well, it's the thought that counts, right???

I was going to post this in reply to a comment on ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} coneycat's journal but decided I should post it here instead. She was talking about a character in a story she's written who could be quote: "the Worst Telemarketer in Canada, who never sold anybody anything and finally got fired when the supervisor caught him listening to another old lady telling him about her health problems. ("Well, she sounded lonely. And besides, I couldn't just hang up--I called her!")" end quote.The whole thing appeals to my weird sense of humour, maybe it's because I can relate - as far as the old people references go... And then there's pushy, but from the opposite direction:

Eurovision Song Contest...
it's always a source of amusement and this year was no different. Well, no different as far as an amusing way to spend a Saturday evening. The acts, however, were a bit different to what people are used to. I'm talking of course about Lordi the monster rock band from Finland who won. Totally different from the other acts. Totally. But very amusing! In the second link, the last paragraph states:
