Gifted Typist

Hey girls! If you want to get ahead in the entertainment biz, you have to strip n straddle for the camera You have to watch your back too because some creep could be stalking you with a hidden camera and he’ll put pix of you on YouTube. You’re not save in your sleep either because [...]

I guess we’ve been on a little break, my blog and I. This typist has been blogging since the summer of 2007. And then for some reason, I hit the wall. Life sometimes overcomes even the most committed of typists. So call me Slacker Typist or Absent Typist or Uncommitted Typist if you like. But if [...]

I was almost T-boned by a woman driving an SUV and talking on her phone. It’s illegal to do that in this province but people do. Apparently they don’t think it’s dangerous. Well, it is dangerous to your health and mine. Some studies point out that its as dangerous as drinking and driving. My column [...]

You’d think they’d try a stunt like this in summer, not in the midst of NHL playoffs! But it’s true. A bunch of kids were kicked off a quiet suburban street in April for playing road hockey. In this world of troubled teens, obese kids and too many video games, someone decided to call the [...]

Not sure if this is about marital harmony or midlife crisis, I guess you’ll have to see for yourself. Link here for the column

Things like work – when the luge is on! Pfft! The little typists needing to be fed – when downhill skiing is on. Tsk. Sleep – when recaps are playing. Huh! The feline making food demands – when pairs are figure skating. Grrr. Tonight it’s kid’s guitar lessons. Men’s hockey. Stik. Tomorrow night-  a lecture [...]

Twitter is for people you want to get to know. That is why I prefer Twitter to Facebook. That is also why I couldn’t give two hoots about Facebook’s new look.

…my 13 year old looked at them and said : they’re old men. Ahhhh, yuf.

See my Friday Herald column here. By now we all know that Mac is cool, and good. And we know that PCs are uncool and virus-ridden. But the Mac marketing “We’re better than you PC” onslaught is getting a little tiresome. People who try too hard to be cool can end up looking like fools. [...]

On Saturday I worked out for six hours. The event was called Bustamove or BAM. There were about 750 of us on the floor of the Metro Centre doing yoga, zumba, pilates and everything else. We set two world records that have been accepted by the Guinness people. And we sweated with none other than [...]

Visit my column here. They say women fight like cats, but what about those late night talk show hosts. By the end up that dust-up they were clawing each other’s eyes out. Sharp barbs, low blows, personal insults. I’m still picking the fur balls out of my computer, TV and eyeballs. Meee-owwww, boyz.

53.

The youngest typist received his coveted cell phone for his 11th birthday. There was debate over whether he is too young, but it was decided the texting function is good for family communication, especially during periods of separation due to business travel. He received his gift on Saturday and on Sunday promptly lost it while [...]

Go to my Friday column here. He’s coming to this parts next week Richard Simmons is a character you can’t ignore. For years, he’s been in our faces fighting fat, which has been a personal demon for him since he was young. In his battle, he’s lost over 100 pounds and gone on to start [...]

That is the question. Sounds funny, but it isn’t. (Actually, it’s hilarious.) Here’s the deal. This typist is prone to the occasional cold sore. It is located on my top lip and now healing. But when I smile the scab is pulled and opens up, causing a gush of my exquisitely rare AB-. So when [...]
