It's Shocking, It's Outrage--The Price of Beer is Going Up In PEI

Outrage yesterday when the government here announced the price of beer was going up. My co-workers bellowed and moaned, vowed to stock up since yesterday was payday. Meanwhile, it must have hit Charlottetown pretty hard last night, because when I came into work this morning, there were two drunk guys (one openly drinking beer on the sidewalk) one staggering about, there was puke outside of the radio station, and when I went to Tim Hortons for my tea, there was two drunk guys waiting in line with me.

Note to self. Do not wear flip flops day after beer prices go up. Sidewalks messy.



ParisFrances has new kitty litter. It is environmentally friendly kitty litter made of pine. They take the scraps from lumber mills, and chip it, dry it, and then it becomes lovely kitty litter. I will let you know how that goes. (Apparantly the clumping clay litter I was using is bad for the cat if she inhales the dust, and it is bad for the environment in both production and disposal)

Alright, back to work now. Looking over music project, and working on special ratings promotion that is top secret. :) You know I must love this job if I am working on a beautiful Saturday.

Anne Gets Called Names

Random Things that Have Happened over the Past Few Days.

Some Islanders who I am becoming friends with, are really sick of Anne of Green Gables. It makes me laugh 'til I cry. It's mainly women, and they call her that red headed (rhymes with witch) One friend used to work in a gift shop and detests the Anne dolls so much she calls them even worse names.

There is a huge following here of British T.V. Coronation Street--which I have started watching, also Father Ted!!!!! Father Ted I love. Was introduced to it by my great friend Rebecca of Ireland. How exciting to meet other people who have watched Father Ted.

When it rains here, it really friggin rains. It pours. You get wet even with an umbrella.

I have been working 12-14 hour days this week. I am almost done the music project. Then I have a big ratings promotion to work on, that will eat up all of my time in August.

I love it here, I love my apartment other than the shower that goes hot/cold and the neighbours downstairs who smoke pot everynight. Other than that, it's great, and I sleep like a baby.

Riding in the Rain

Went for a bike rain in the rain this morning. Felt guilty for eating half a bag of gummi worms last night. What is with gummi candy that is so addictive? It's like jello without the cold. Anyways, gummi bears, gummi worms...quite delicious. The crows woke me up this morning. I have never seen so many crows as I have here. They are loud! At first I couldn't stand them, but now, after being around them, they really are tough birds, and very bold. You can walk right up to them and they almost look like they will attack.

This morning I rode my bike out to Memorial Forest Park on Beach Grove Road. It was a great bike ride, little hills and they have lots of orchards of native trees growing.

At the park, they have seperate memorial sections of the park for Army, Navy and AirForce. Very lovely park, nice little beach (not for swimming really--just to walk on and watch the blue herons) Nice little trail to ride or walk on.

Foxes on the Beach

Went to the gym this morning, and had a great workout. There is a very strange lady at the gym, she continually whispers to herself, and she reads the paper while sitting on the stationary bike. However she doesn't pedal. She just sits on the bike. Odd. Very odd. I went to work, and did the afternoon shift. My weekend afternoon guy asked for the day off to go to the Black Eyed Peas concert in Halifax. After work today, I started watching "Newsradio." I forgot what a great show it is, Phil Hartman, Andy Dick, Maura Tierney and Dave Foley. I watched a couple of episodes, had some of my leftover pizza, and I though I had better go for a walk.

Besides the donkey this week, this walk was the highlight of the week. I was walking along and saw a fox on the beach. Right around the corner, there were two more foxes wrestling around and playing in the water. They didn't even mind that I was there. Until I tried to take pictures. Then they ran off, but one stayed very close. He layed down at the edge of the embankment and just watched me. All I can say is "wow." It was quite an experience. Then the sun was going down...so I took my pictures (notice a dog in the picture--a little schnauzer was out walking with his owner--i warned them about the foxes) and walked home. :) Very nice evening.

Ass Visits K-ROCK

To kick off the Gingerwood Horse Show, we had a donkey visit this morning. If you know me well, you know I LOVE donkey's. So meeting Pedro this morning was like holding a brand new baby. He is a sweet, sweet donkey. If you want to check out the Gingerwood horse show (it is a really big deal) http://www.gingerwoodfarm.com/

Very busy today, but I thought I would share that with you. Also we ended up taking a picture of the morning show guys with Pedro, that turned out (not on purpose) looking inappropriate, and we roared with laughter about it. You can check that out at krock1055.com under photos. Oh, god it was fun!
