Everything About Me - Day 1

As I said yesterday, I'm going to try and give you 30 days about me. I've gone back over the list and some of the later subjects have me a little worried so we'll have to see how it goes. I also foresee a potential problem next weekend since I have a hockey tournament but I'll just have to do the best I can.

Today's topic? My favourite song. Sounds easier than you might think but I'm going to go with my old standby. Modern English, Melt With You. Man, this video has not held up well to the passage of time.



More recently the song I like to listen to, way too loud, in my car is Jason Mraz, I'm Yours. Sorry, embedding disabled but it's the official video so it's worth it. It makes me dream of Florida.

p.s. The Brindle has no opinions on music as long as it doesn't keep him awake in the car.

Blogging More

I've been trying to come up with a way to Blog more often. At first I was thinking that this would be pretty difficult because there are days when the Brindle doesn't offer me anything to work with. Like today. The Brindle has been at camp since Friday and while I'm sure he's having an excellent time I have no idea what he's up to.

I do follow a few blogs myself and I've been picking up more fairly recently. One of the Brindle's favourites would be Lucy's Human, the life and times a young fawn lady that makes us laugh fairly often. Another is one that has brought me into the life of a cousin that I wasn't fortunate enough to spend much time with over the course of our lives. Angella is a pretty prolific blogger and thanks to Dutch Blitz I feel that I am coming to know her and her family, especially my three gorgeous second cousins.

But the blog that brings me where I am today is Nolie's Place and in particular this post. The idea is All About Me in 30 days and it goes like this:

Day 1 – your favorite song
Day 2 – your favorite movie
Day 3 – your favorite television program
Day 4 – your favorite book
Day 5 – your favorite quote
Day 6 – 20 of my favorite things
Day 7 – a photo that makes you happy
Day 8 – a photo that makes you angry/sad
Day 9 – a photo you took
Day 10 – a photo taken over 10 years ago of you
Day 11 – a photo of you recently
Day 12 – something you are OCD about
Day 13 – a fictional book
Day 14 – a non-fictional book
Day 15 – your dream house
Day 16 – a song that makes you cry (or nearly)
Day 17 – an art piece (drawing, sculpture, painting, etc)
Day 18 – your wedding/future wedding/past wedding
Day 19 – a talent of yours
Day 20 – a hobby of yours
Day 21 – a recipe
Day 22 – a website
Day 23 – a youtube video
Day 24 – where I live
Day 25 – your day, in great detail
Day 26 – your week, in great detail
Day 27 – my worst habit
Day 28 – what’s in my handbag/purse
Day 29 – hopes,dreams, plans for the next 365 days
Day 30 – a dream for the future beyond the next year

So I'm figuring I'll give this a go and see where it takes me. Stay tuned folks, we're about to see the Brindle as guest star instead of heading up the show.

The Brindle as a Sports Fan?

Those of you that know me are well aware that in my house sports, particularly hockey, trumps all on tv. The Brindle being the accommodating sort that he is doesn't have a problem with this. He's quite happy to curl up on the couch and watch with me, no idea why he snores while he's there.

Yesterday he shared my excitement when the season opened on our tv with Carolina vs Minnesota in Helsinki. We got to watch the whole game before I left... for hockey.

This afternoon after work the Brindle was headed off to camp but we had a little plan before he went. What with tonight being the season opener for the San Jose Sharks vs Carolina in Stockholm we had declared this corner of Belgium, Sharks Country. Rumour has it the same is happening in a small corner of Germany. The following photos are a special shout out to the Brindle's friend of the stripe, Bucky who is the Sharks #1 fan of the Boxer persuasion back home.

Go Sharks!
