I was given a site to go to the other day and I created the following video from TrimFlixx.com.  This is from Schick Quattro creators of the new Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer.

This reminded me of the “Elf-Yourself” campaign by Office Max had this past Christmas.  You can see what I did with that here.

As you can see it is actually fun to make your video and I think Junior had fun being a muscle bound human playing with some clowns.  Granted I could have set him up to play with either college girls, rocker chicks, or some guys if I wanted, but I though the clowns would be more appropriate.

After making the video you can request to receive your hands on your own free trial version of the razor. I have been using it this week and I will post a review of it later.

Dr. Horrible is here, but only for limited time on the internet and for free.

Brought to you by Josh Whedon, the creator of the Buffy the Vampire series, join Dr. Horrible as he video blogs and sings about his love Penny and the Super Hero, Mr. Hammer, he despises.

Truly an awesome piece of work divided up into 3 separate acts that run free on the internet until this coming Sunday (July 20th). Watch it now, before it’s gone (but not for good).

Last night Russ and I attended a performance of Cirque Du Soleil’s Corteo during their stop here in Vancouver. Corteo is an Italian word which means “cortege” - a funeral procession.

The story revolves around a dream of a clown.  This clown dreams of his funeral, and we the audience are all there.  The funeral takes

place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.

Out of the 3 Cirque Du Soleil’s that have made it to Vancouver, this by far was very enjoyable to watch. The stage is also slightly different than the other two pervious shows.  The main stage cuts right through the audience and we become a mirror image of each other.  Even during the beginning “clown” performance, just before the big show begins, both sides of the audience recieve similar performances.

Russ and I had front row seats this time around as I wanted to get up and close to be able to see the performances.  I think we might have been too close as we really had to stretch our necks to see the aireal acrobats.  I don’t believe there is a bad view point at all under the big top.

The Acrobats are just amazing to watch. The Aerial Straps, totally amazing, the Bouncing Beds, just plain fun, the Chandeliers, breath taking, the Cyr Wheel, amazing, the Tightwire, wow new respect for the hula hoop, and the Tournik just to name a few.  I don’t think any of these athelets have an ounce of fat on them.  Turly amazing to watch.

The music is poetic.  A combination of French, Spanish and Italian was heard.

I recommend you catch this show if you haven’t already.

The show is here in Vancouver until July 20th and then heads to Calgary from July 31 - August 31 and then Ottawa from September 24 to October 12.

After a rough work week, all I wanted this weekend was just to relax and not be bothered about anything. I do have to say it was accomplished!

Friday night I managed to leave work on time and Russ and I headed out for dinner to and met up a couple of friends at The Majestic Lounge on Davie Street for a Drag Show. Now I have paid to see one before, but since we were also having dinner there, I was alittle disappointed that we had to pay $5 to get in, just to eat and drink there. At any rate the show was fantastic and I laughed historically at Simone and guest. Simone’s Symone’s opening number included running outside the restaurant and into running traffic all the while performing her number. The look of people on the street seeing this 6 foot drag queen running at them. Her closing number included her roller blading around the restaurant…priceless. One of her guest was a burlesque performer and she actually stripped down only to reveal her pasties. I ended up having 3 Killer Koolaides and Russ had 5 Lemon Martinis and was feeling no pain.

Saturday we both pretty much had to recover from our night out and just vegged for most of the day. Of course I got to take Junior out for his walks and he had his fun as well. Not to mention having some more cupcakes from Cupcakes. YUM. We later watched the movie “There Will Be Blood“. I am still trying to understand the full meaning of that movie. Was Elijah actually Paul with a split personality or was he a twin? Oh well I guess I will never know.

Sunday with the day being so nice we headed to Steveston to enjoy the weather. This is a nice bedroom community with lots of fish and chip shops everywhere. Though I have to admit the fish and chips are more expensive than downtown. We walked around enjoying the First Annual Steveston Farmers and Artisian Market and boardwalk.

Over fifty vendors will come together in the charming waterfront community of Steveston, B.C. for the first annual outdoor Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market. Offering fresh local produce, healthy foods, flowers, plants, and unique works by local artisans, the Market opens weekly on Sundays from 11am- 4pm from May 4 - September 28, 2008. Located in the parking lot of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site*, the Market promises to be a lively and memorable home grown event.

I of course didn’t wear any sunscreen so my face is nice and red and I look like a raccoon. Ahhh the joys. I hope I won’t look too bad come Monday morning.

You can view more of my photos from Steveston on my Flickr Page.

My weekend of just relaxing was accomplished! Now bring on next weekend!

While going through my blogroll today I found out by Tanya that today is “CSS Naked Day“. You might find that websites are different than normal. You won’t see any columns, just one plain (VERY plain) website. This is in honor of website designer and Wordpress Theme builders. If you’d like to participate, please sign up here. Alas I can’t participate as I can’t change my CSS settings in my Wordpress.com blog. I need to buy the “upgrade” to be able to save my changes. But I have taken a picture of my blog on how it would look otherwise below.

On an aside note: Tanya (aka NetChick) is at it again! She’s giving away “Guitar Hero III” for the X-Box 360! Go to her blog and comment to win!
