Blog Carnival: Be My Valentine

Love is in the air in Wedgeland, seeing as Valentine's Day is coming up soon and all.

So what mating rituals do Wedges follow? How does a wedge choose its valentine?


Here we have Walter, a Wedge person, he likes to eat cereal, make music, and build things.

This is Brie, another wedge person. She likes to shop, paint circles on everything, frogs, and forts!

Some would say they are polar opposites, especially since Walter is very, very, tall, and Brie is very, very petite!

So how did Walter and Brie become sweethearts?
Was it her keen sense of style? Her no nonsense intellect?
Or was it his sense of humor and crooked smile?

Lets interview Walter:
Me - Walter, when you first saw Brie, what made you look her way?
Walter - I liked her red colour.
Me - What did you think of her?
Walter - Pretty...
Me - Is that it?
Walter - Pretty...
Me - mmm...ok...why did you ask her out?
Walter - she smells like diverse gene pool...
Me - What did you do last Valentine's Day?
Walter - Took her to a park and gave her some cherries...


Lets interview Brie:
Me - Brie, what was your first take on Walter?
Brie - I thought he was very tall and very thin, other than that, I didn't think much about him.
Me - So how did you two start dating then?
Brie - he asked me out, and I said why not.
Me - So did things pick up from there?
Brie - I got lots of free dinners...oh and some cherries...
Me - What took it to the next level?
Brie - sparklies.
Me - You doing anything special this Valentine's Day?
Brie - Oh, we're going adventuring.

Why spend money on a loved one? Buy a Wedge instead.

I want to start by saying that in typing my subject heading I was reminded of a guy who told me that he wasn’t that into his girl and that he planned to dump her before Vday so that he wouldn’t have to give her anything… Hmmm actually come to think of it maybe he did give her something after all.

Valentines Day. I think my best valentine was my mom who would sneak little cinnamon hearts into my lunch as a kid. The fiery red that burned at my throat and stained my tongue was like a warm hug.

Now because I don’t have a particularly bad V-day to write about, which kind of feels like a lost pastime, or a particularly amazing one… I will tell the tale of two wedges in LOOOVE. The added o’s are meant to indicate the icky-ness level.

As you maybe know Rochero owns both gwen and beck. One morning she went to Gwen’s cage in hopes of getting her out and BLAMO she was gone!!! Rochero went to becks cage…she peeled back the blanket to reveal two very guilty looking wedges. 35 days later and BABIES!!!!! I guess this is maybe about love cause Gwen loved the whole ordeal enough to pull the same stunt 1 year later.


‘Love is blind,’ and it’s a good thing too.

Let’s get romanitcal.

So it is almost February…which I am deeming the month of love. After which you can go back to resenting your significant other, or to being extremely alone and cynical. Anyway this blog is going to have a theme…can you guess it… if you thought ‘superior intelligence’ and ‘witty charming goodness’ you were right by default but no. Anyway I am going to throw a wrench in the system by saying that Feb 14 is no longer Valentines day…and because of the “witty charming goodness’ bit you buy it.

So it’s what Jan 29… and I say bring on the love!

First on the theme of Looooove you can go here myspace.com/thetinamarlinincident and read the blog called ‘First kisses- swap some spit’ OMG!!! Did I just name drop myself…indeed I did.

Next.

The thing on everyone’s mind I’m sure…is what wedge would make the best mate. And by mate I mean other half…significant other…etc. etc. What I don’t mean is the verb form of mate… everyone knows that wedges don’t have reproductive organs –cringe. ANYWAY I digress. Okay best mate award, for me, would have to go to Octo who can both hold your hand and hold the door at the same time.



Come back for more love. We’ll be here all month. [note: the ‘we’ is 50% me and 50% my ‘LOVE’ at the end of the month I am the part of the 50% that isn’t going anywhere…}

Roll Call - Featuring Rose Works Jewelry

So this month’s featured blogger is Rose Works Jewelry. Her shop features an array of bejeweled goodness. And despite what I initially thought, no snakes were actually harmed in the making of the snake tail bracelet.

Now it is time for making promises and commitments that I am already scheming ways of backing out of. Like in terms of goals for the blog… I will try to post more regularly (actually that one I mean…for real), maybe add some more eye bling like pictures, and videos, and my beautiful hand crafted goodness…yay adobe. Maybe take the wedges on the streets to the ppl and document it for the blog, or finally make my short film which I can’t tell you about but which includes some indecent exposure, wedges, an old suitcase, and random strangers…could be my big break.

And now for your pleasure, the worst joke on the internet:

Q: What do you get when you cross Star Wars and road construction?
A: R2Detour

ANIMAL OF THE WEEK!!!!

it is time for what I like to call ‘ANIMAL of THE WEEK’. Actually I don’t much like calling it that. Seriously typing it out was like torture.


Okay so this weeks’ featured animal is the hedgehog. Or, in Wedgeland, the wedgehog. By the way just because this segment is called animal of the week doesn’t mean that I will necessarily commit to the idea. This may just be animal of the hour. A scientific fling as it were, with the topic of one animal in particular on one particular day. Who knows I might never blog about another darn animal again.


Animal of the Week: African Pygmy Hedgehog

Common name: hedgehog

Pronunciation in Wedgelish: Wej-hog

Translation/Origin of the Name:
HEDGE: because in cartoons and children’s books that is where they hang out.
OR
WEDGE: because of their shape,
HOG: when translated means one who uses too much of something. Both wedge and hedgehogs alike have been known to use excessive amounts of cuteness in order to get their way. Sneaky buggers!

Likes:
A) Wheeling- In the great plains of Africa and perhaps in parts of England bucket wheels grow in the wild. Hedge and wedgehogs use these exotic plants for daily exercise, which explains why the domesticated hedge or wedgehog is so keen on running on these things.

B) Food. Mealworms, crickets, turkey, chicken, veggies, baby food, high quality cat foods, 3 course gourmet meals – these are all things native to the hedge and wedgehog and so they must be included in the diet of a domesticated hedge/wedgehog too.
C) The Moon- Hedgehogs are nocturnal for the simple fact that they are also Pagans. They worship the moon as their god.

Dislikes: The cold- therefore domesticated hedge/wedgehogs hate Canada for ¾ of the year . Then again so do most Canadians. They like their homes to be at least 72 degrees which for you Americans is a fairly big number in Fahrenheit.

Myths: that they can collect coins and defeat evil doer mad scientist doctor types. Also if they are in a ball and rolling down a hill etc. it is probably because they tripped. This is not how they get around.

Octo and Squido Spotted!!!

Normally it is Miko and Mantari getting in to mischief...but Octo and Squido have been spotted at a Designer Trunk Show on the Danforth, who knew they were into fashion!!!
