Well, Red and Jonny drive home tonight after a long cold day at work...and theres a call from the local paper...asking if they can do an interview with Jonny. They want to put a picture and an interview in next weeks paper! LOL.. omg. I hope Jonny can get the time off work for this. Its gonna sound a little weird asking for the time off. But Dave is pretty cool about things....most of the time. :P Last time we checked, the video has been seen Eight thousand times. WOW. Everyone cross your fingers and think good thought for Jonny to win the grand prize. Which will be held on our 5 month wedding anniversary. Pretty cool. Sounds like a good sign to me!
We've had a great day....well couple of days... Red and I have been celebrating every 16th since we got married.... ( on the 16th of sept if you dont remember :P ) This16th, We went out for dinner....@ Lime ridge mall for Reds favorite Mall Dinner. Cheese pasta and Salad....done exactly the way Red loves it the most. Then after Red ate all she could eat.....We bought the movie that Jonny got his nik name from....:"The Wild One" ( with Marlon Brando... " Hey Jonny, what are you Rebelling against?" I dunno..what do ya got?" LOL... love that movie.
Anyways, Jonny entered a radio contest on the suggestion of our friend Tina. 102.1 had a contest to enter a video and win a 1000$ then ultimately 5000$. So Jonny entered ....waited all week for the annoucement on Friday morning. Jonny stood by the radio waiting...then they said his name. Jonny then began screaming at the top of his lungs...everyone thought he'd hurt himself at first..untill they saw how happy he was...all the guys gathered around the radio and listened as the radio guy did a play by play of what was going on in the video. Everyone congradulated him, shook his hand and all that. Jonny phoned up Red....and very calmly said....of yah, and I won that contest. Red screamed soo loud...it was at a pitch that only dogs can hear. She was so happy and excited it almost made Jonny cry. Jonny phoned up a few more people to tell them..Like Megan and his grandmother. The radio station said his name all day long...and talked about the video... IT was bizarre That night, they grabbed a bottle of wine and stayed home, talking on the phone to all our friends.... Michelle called, Tina called....Brian called....Jonny phoned Matt... Jonny called his mom, but she wasnt home.....(and still hasnt called back)...all and all It was a great night. We pick up the check sometime next week. cross your fingers for Jonny to win the 5000$
Heres a few pix we took before sleep. And one We took tonight with Melmin the Giraffe.
Winning this now enters him into the final contest of winning $ 5000. Keep your fingerscrossed.

Well, theyre having a contest on youtube...
Post a video dancing to one of their songs...and you can win a chance to dance on stage with them in LA on new years. Jonny entered the contest...heres his entry.
Peter Boyle has passed away. To me he was Carl Lazlo from the Hunter s Thompson flick "Where the Buffalo Roam"
Quote: You couldn't invent someone like Carl Lazlo. He was a ... he was one of a kind. He was a mutant. A real heavyweight water buffalo type ... who could chew his way through a concrete wall and spit out the other side covered with lime and chalk and look good in doing it.
I grabbed some of his great scenes from Young Frankenstein on you tube.
....jumped in the car and went to TorOnto to go see the Ansel Addams show at the AGO. We were gonna go see it with Brian, but he was sick.....so we walked down to our favorite all day breakfast place..JAVA. Had our usual, Jonny had eggs...Red had French toast. YUM!!++
Then walked down Queen W, dropped by the costume factory again, and bought that white wig that Red tried on when we were here for Halloween, it was the last one and it was on sale! wow@! The AGO was just up the street, so we went to check out the Ansel Addams and Alfred Eisenstaedt show. ( 2 photographers) managed to take a few pix in the show and a small viddie before Security told me to put the camera away before they delete all my pix. heheh... by the time we got out, it was already dark...so we walked back to the car, on the way we found some bootleg dvds, 3 fo 10 dolla! SO we're gonna watch the new James bond movie in the morning after Coronation Street. ( Hopefully, Sunday might end up being a busy day.) I'd like to put up some Christmas lights today if I can..but we'll see what Red has planned for me...uhm, I mean us. :]
Wow...Do we ever love this cover of " Phil Collins's:: Against All Odds" by the Postal Service. Red and I have listened to it everyday this week when we got home from work.
First real snow fall last night....the drive home looked alot like jumping to lightspeed in the millenium falcon. :P Only one person in the ditch...the same jack ass who drove past us going aleast 80. Gonna look into Snow tires tomorrow. cant write much, Coronation street is almost on. :]
