The Canadian Explorer

  • Went to See Jay of ‘Daily Planet’

    He just published his 8th book, “Daily Planet Book of Cool Ideas” and gave a talk about it at First Canadian Place.  He’s an eloquent speaker I thought, and so did the masses of ladies there; ladies man!  

     
    I mulled over and over if I should talk to him but decided not to in case he had no idea what I was talking about and I embarrassed him in front of his fans.  

    OH… remember I told you I got a contract doing work for Discovery Channel?  It was designing a mobile broadcasting system for Jay here.  
    I was also tasked to give my ideas and implementations on that sick new Microsoft Surface technology (they used one in the latest Bond film, 0:39).  I took that as “I will now write myself into every ‘Daily Planet’ episode using the thing”.november 10 2008

  • Profile Picture

    Get it? It’s of my profile, ha.  I emailed it around but only I seem to find it funny? november 9 2008

  • Guarding ACDC

    I was the admin girl today, then tonight I was the assistant to one of the guys in charge.  We had to walk among the floor seats and inform people they couldn’t stand on their chairs.  I just do not have the heart; let me re-create this for you:

    tap tap tap.  “Excuse me! I’m really sorry [palms up, apologetic face], but you gotta get down from there.  You know, insurance reasons! Dumb, I know!  Hey could you reach over and tell that guy too please? Thank you so much!” 

    Then my boss gets a text and takes off running, so I do too.  We get to somewhere and:

    Him:   Keri! Get my back! 
    Me:     Huh? [staring with mouth open, eyes squinted]
    Him:   Watch my back! Bring up the rear!
    Me:     [more of the same]november 7 2008
    Him:    [spins me around and plants me behind him back to back] 
    Me:     Ohhhh, got it!
    Me:     [and I am looking, looking, looking]
    Me:     Nothing to report back here!  Things are looking good!

    Then it was over as quickly as it started, and he’s off again and I’m running to catch up.

    Me:   What was that all about?
    Him:  Oh Keri, really? We just escorted the band from the stage to their van. 

  • A Good Description of Me

    Over sushi tonight it went like this:

    Me: Huh? Really?
    Me: But I don’t understand…
    Me: And how can that be?
    Me: Nooooo, what else? 
    Me: Come on, serious?

    New Friend: This topic really does it for you, eh?

    Old Friend: No, she’s just curious, and she keeps going until her curiosity is completely exhausted.november 6 2008

  • Election Thoughts

    At our recent election 60% of the country voted, to which I exclaimed “that’s IT?!”

    Then I was talking with someone today and learned that in the States during their recent election they hit 40%, and that was considered outrageously high.  

    And at once I was SO proud of my country.  But it still should be higher.november 5 2008
