Sept. 24 Whyte Ave: I went to a job interview on Whyte
Ave, so I was shopping a bit afterwards.
Da Copa: I found this restaurant and it sold $18
burgers and gelato.
Sunwork and Organic Meat Shop: It’s a small grocery
store that sells organic food and lots of brands I haven’t seen in Safeway.
Roots on Whyte: They showed nice paintings by the
artist Margaret Clark. Her work seems to
be called Red Riddle. I looked it up on
the internet and it lead to the Facebook page:
“To coincide with the 18th Annual Whyte
Avenue ARTWALK, Edmonton artist MARGARET CLARK is our featured artist at the Roots On Whyte.
Enjoy her beautiful wild works in our lobby for July & August. Meet
Margaret creating new works at her ARTWALK street display daily 10AM-5PM July
12-13-14 in front of BLUSH LANE ORGANIC MARKET 8135-102St (Whyte Ave)”
Alhambra Books: I did find this great book store that sells used
books. You walk in and it has that old
book smell. This is different from the
Wee Book Inn, because the Inn sells CDs and DVDs. Alhambra is all
books.
They have lots of new age books and a good
Feng Shui section. Lol.
Sept. 25 Conor Maynard: Here’s his new song called “R
U Crazy.” I heard his song yesterday and
it has a techno beat and you can really dance to it.
Here’s lyric video:
Here is his music video:
I love the song, but this video is only okay. He’s walking in a hallway and he’s singing to
a girl in the dark and shadows. The
camera is all panning and moving a lot to make it seem disoriented.
Forehead nose: I found this on Yahoo:
“The man suffered damage to his nose and an infection after
a severe car accident, and the infection had eaten away at the cartilage in his
nose, making it impossible to for doctors to fix his original nose. Instead,
the team decided to grow the man an entirely new nose on his forehead, according
to the Huffington Post.”
My opinion: I see a lot of comments where people find
this disturbing. I find it disturbing to
look at the picture, so I’ll stop looking at it. Lol.
There are a lot of funny comments though. Well, good luck to him though.
“Ed”: does this nose make my forehead look big?
David: Talk
about turning your nose up at someone. Sorry... just had to!
solarpurplestarlight: I am so glad, for this man. Not just
for surviving a bad accident and infection, later on, but, also that he is
getting a replacement nose. The thing I am most happy for him, is, his new nose
looks like it is going to be a perfect fit, too. I think his new nose is
fantastic looking. Maybe even nicer, than his original nose, before the accident?
I really hope that Yahoo! will do a follow-up, after he has had time to heal.
=)
Sept. 27 Bad neighbor: I was checking what’s on 20/20
tonight and I see that a couple of weeks ago, they did a follow up on the bad
neighbor Lori Christensen. They did an
episode one or two years ago about how she spray paints messages and puts on
her garage door “I saw your mother kiss a breathalyzer test.” She says it was to support the Mothers
Against Drunk Driving because it’s on bus ads.
However, the neighbors across the street are offended by it
because the mother is a recovering alcoholic.
Christensen is always spray painting a messages and putting it on her
garage door. She’s been in jail twice
and there has been lots of video footage recorded of her doing some sort of
strip tease on her driveway.
I decided to watch this on the website to get her side of
the story. Christensen is saying that
since they’re videotaping her, she might as well give them a show to
watch.
20/20 interviewed her, and later they took a
break. There was footage where
Christensen is yelling at the crew.
Basically she made herself look bad on national TV.
My opinion: I was kind of angry watching this. However, hopefully she may watch herself on
TV and realize how bad and stupid she looks on TV. I mentioned the teen pregnancy episode on the
Tyra Banks show. The black girl Jessica
was saying: “I want to have a baby with my ex- boyfriend. He doesn’t want a baby now or in the future,
but I think when the baby comes he’s going to want to be with me and we can be
a family and raise it together.”
6 months later she was on the show again and said: “After I
saw myself on TV I realized how stupid and ridiculous I sounded and
looked. I realized how I am not ready to
have a baby at all.”
Nick Carter: He is from the Backstreet Boys and he
has released his memoir called Facing the Music and Living to Talk about
It. It’s about his drug abuse, and his sister
Leslie passing away. I was reading in Metro
about it, and he said he was on Dr. Phil a year ago, and Dr. Phil told him
about writing a book. Carter did write
the book and he felt it was “therapeutic” and how the book could help people.
That’s good to hear.
I was checking what was on TV and I did see Carter was on Dr. Phil, but
I didn’t watch it.
Be Beautiful: I found this on Yahoo. An overweight woman Denise Jolly, 34 took
pictures of herself by putting the words “Be beautiful” on her body. She took them also out in public. I will give her points for stripping to her
underwear and taking pics of herself, and also doing that in public. Here are some comments:
Lalansanguay: I think she's trying to tell herself to be
beautiful, to live beautifully, to feel beautiful.
LISA: I think some of you missed the point. She is artistically expressing her experience on her life's journey, not promoting weight loss or body image.
What a courageous idea! I love it.

Alisha: Every person on this planet is beautiful she is not
putting these pictures out because she obese and thinks that it is okay, she
put them out to say that no matter what flaws you have you are beautiful, all
of you should be ashamed and disappointed because she has more courage then all
of you that sit behind your computer and judge other people for their flaws
when you yourself have many that are worse. I admire her for what she does, not
because she is obese but because she has the courage to be bold in the time she
has on this planet because life is short.
NASA: I also found this on Yahoo news. It’s where NASA pays people to lay in bed for
70 days. It’s to test people’s muscles
and body if they were in space for a long period of time. There is a creative way to take a
shower. They didn’t go on to tell you
how to use the washroom though.
There is physical and psychological test. They will pay you $18,000. You can read, work, go on the internet, but
you have to stay in bed. I have to know
how to use the washroom before I sign up.
