Surfer inspires comparisons to Albert Einstein - 'Theoretical physicist Garrett Lisi made his name with a paper called An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything, which proposes a unified field theory that reconciles Einstein's relativity theory with particle physics. But he's equally known for shattering stereotypes – when he's not surfing wave equations, he's riding the biggest breakers on earth, and loving it'

Full Moon

I wanted to see the new movie 'When in Rome' because it looked funny on the TV commercials. But it's getting bad reviews. I should have suspected when K said he also wanted to see it. The ludicrous comedy must appeal to that demographic.

K and I were driving home last night and noticed a big, bright full moon. The good news is he passed his end of semester exams but Math starts up next semester...eeps. I had such a busy day yesterday running errands.

I'm going prom dress shopping in a trendy part of town with my girlfriend S and her daughter this afternoon. L doesn't have time, so I'm the personal (window) shopper! The other day, I did find her the perfect dress for an upcoming school semi-formal.

It's a cold weekend. Tastefully Done has an interesting recipe called '5 minute chocolate mug cake'. I think I may try this one.

Life, etc.

At step class yesterday, the instructor told us there was a massive sidewalk sale at the mall, so we should make sure we didn't get too tired from exercising and be sure to check it out after! Good suggestion, I thought.

I was in a store and chatted a bit with a lady ahead of me in line. I noticed she was about 60'ish years old, pretty and petite with red hair and light coloured eyes. She was casually dressed, in a burnt orange jacket which went well with her colouring. She said she still fills xmas stockings for her grown family, although she should probably stop. I mentioned I was buying an athletic jacket with matching bottoms for my son (he loved it) as it's easy to buy for him since things pretty much always fit. She told me she had 3 granddaughters and said it would be nice to have a grandson, not that it really mattered. She said her son worries about her, since her husband passed away 6 years ago from cancer. You never know what you'll hear on any given day. I felt sorry for her.

I got L some new avocado body butter. I don't think she'll have time to go prom dress shopping until after her mid-February university application deadlines. I may have to courier one of them in, but I warned her not to wait until the night before as even couriers need some lead time.

Morning Thrill

So yesterday I took L to school on a dark, wet,foggy morning and on my way to the grocery store, CHUM FM 104.5 radio station announces they have a special guest Adam Lambert that morning. So I listened in the parking lot for the fifteen minute interview and then went about my chores. The radio hosts told him he was 'genuine' and they liked him. They were classy and did not ask him about his risque AMA performance. His next stop later in the evening was downtown at Much on Demand, among other things.
