Apr. 15 Zeddy at Camp Trillium: I was thinking about: "What charity won Zeddy, the Zellers mascot?" Here's the story, Camp Trillium won
him:
http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1072675/zellers-iconic-mascot-zeddy-finds-new-home-with-camp-trillium
"The adoption effort is just one part of Zellers' last community
outreach. The retailer is also donating $27,800 in HBC gift cards and
Zeddy plush toys to more than 20 Canadian not-for-profit organizations
this holiday season to support their local charitable initiatives."
"Zeddy will take on a new name, Barry and enjoy fun-filled days of
swimming, kayaking, arts and crafts, and many other camp activities.
Zeddy's job will be to help these children undergoing cancer treatment
to have fun, feel special and get away from the everyday."
I remember that I voted one of the 3 charities Autism Ontario,
Camp Trillium, and Cystic Fibrosis Canada to get Zeddy. I can't
remember who I voted for. I even looked for it on my blog and found
this post:

However,
it doesn't mention who I voted for. If I remember correctly, it was
probably Autism Ontario. Well Camp Trillium is a good charity.
Come
to think of it, the camp probably won due to those Zeddy commercials
that show Zeddy alone in the woods. The camp is associated with the
woods.
Comedy comparisons:
Running away scared: I was going to add that Zeddy commercial where he's in the woods. He is running away scared from a bee and falls down.
lol.

Apr. 18: Here's another one from The Simpsons. Homer finds out Marge is pregnant with Maggie.
Homer pulls out his hair, screams and runs up the stairs to his room.
There are flashbacks.
Cut to Marge and Homer sitting on the couch.
Homer: What? You're pregnant?!
Homer pulls out his hair, screams and runs up the stairs to his room.
Cut to Marge and Homer sitting on the couch. 2 yr old Bart is there.
Homer: What? You're pregnant again?!
Homer pulls out his hair, screams and runs up the stairs to his room.
Angry and funny: This was done on The Simpsons where Krusty is ranting to these reporters.
Krusty:
Do you know what comedy is these days? Some big chin guy reading typos
from the Pelukiville Post. Yeah, well here's a headline for you:
Nobody cares!
The audience laughs.
Jay
Leno: But
Krusty, I washed your hair!
Or the other episode, where the
Springfield Elementary staff gives a talent show. Groundskeeper Willy
does a stand-up comedy routine. He tells a few jokes and nobody
laughs. He then gets angry.
Willy: Oh is that it? You don't think Willy is funny, unless he's on his hands and knees cleaning up your kids' puke?!
The audience laughs.
Willy: Oh thank you, you've been a great audience everybody.
In my case, it's like the Dateline
question I asked: "What are you guys going to talk about? Miley Cyrus
and the Jonas Brothers?" I am genuinely angry, and I'm sure there are
people who read that question will laugh.
Plain truth: I know there are some things I say, I'm not trying to be funny, I just tell the plain truth and people will
laugh. How about this one:
"Hard Candy is a good movie. If you want to watch one torture-porn movie this year, you should watch Hard Candy, because it's got way more depth than those Saw movies."
I stand by that opinion.
Apr. 28 Shopping:
I don't go shopping very often. A few weeks ago I did. It was before I
had to go to work, so I decided to have a little fun. I went to the
Wee Book Inn in downtown. They have a new cat. It's like white and
orange. I checked Oodle Noodle that's close by. It smells really good
with all the deep fry oil in the air. It seems kind of expensive like
$7 and up for a meal. I then checked out Phat Noodle across the street,
but it seemed it closed down.
I went to Audrey's bookstore and
said hi to one of my friends who works there. I noticed that the new
restaurant Arabia will be opening soon to take
over the old restaurant that used to be there called Sultan Express.
I
checked out Enterprise Square. I thought the Rutherford Corner book
store would still be open, but it closed down. I read in the Edmonton
Journal business section that they were closing it down. I then checked
out the art show in the building. The theme was degradation. Really
good and thought-provoking art.
I went to the Carbon store. It sold keyboard keys earrings. I think I might have see that when I was at NAIT's book store.
Ariana Grande:
I was listening to the radio and I heard this song called "The Way" by
Ariana Grande feat. Mac Miller. It's a light and happy song that you
can sing and dance to. It's a summer song because it's so fun. I have
heard of her name before, but I couldn't remember where. I think it was
on Youtube when I'm looking for a job and listening to
music.
She's actually an actress from the Disney show Victorious.
She has a good voice, that I was impressed by. I'm reading these
Youtube comments and people are comparing her to Mariah Carey. Check
out the song:

May 4 Crazy week:
It's been a crazy week. I was working at the call centre, and this
program didn't work so we had to do something differently. On Wed. I
got really sick and didn't go to work. On Thurs. I got better because I
rested and took medicine the day before. I worked for a few hours at
the call centre. On Fri. I worked at the call centre.
Today is
Sat. and I worked at the restaurant though I'm still kind of getting
over a cold. It was crazy today, because there are supposed to be 5
bussers and there were only 2 including me. Then at 9am a busser came
because she overslept. Then
another busser showed up because she also overslept. That's an
interesting coincidence.
The 5th busser didn't show up. I would say all the workers here are good and reliable.
What is the difference?:
Cold and flu:
It's very rare that I get a cold. The last time I got really sick was
in Nov. 2010. In 2012, I had a little bit of a cold, but I kept going
to work. I thought: "What is the difference between a cold and a flu?"
According to CBC news, a cold comes on gradually and you can be sick for 3 or 4 days. It can last 10 days to 2 weeks.
As for a flu, it's worse. It can come on suddenly and it hits you hard. You can be sick for 3-5 days, and it will last 2- 3
weeks.

May 9 Shampoo and conditioner:
I Google this and shampoo is to wash your hair. Conditioner is used to
make your hair more "smooth, soft, and shiny." Check it out here:
http://www.dailyglow.com/askquestion/differences-between-shampoos-and-conditioners-what
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060921161611AAPT3PW
I
didn't know that until I looked it up. I don't pay attention to hair
commercials because it's all the same. Have a famous celebrity there
talking about it, or a model. Show the hair flipping and how shiny it
is in the light. I don't read teen magazines for the hair and makeup
tips. I always skip it and read it for the interesting stories like "My
mom went to
jail."
Canada AM: I was looking up about Zeddy and they
showed the video on Canada AM. The three news reporters are sitting at a
table laughing when they're watching it. It made this Zeddy commercial
a little funnier.
