Cocaine Princess here.
There is a commercial I saw that aired on TV the other day. A group of friends are packing their car as they get ready to head to the cottage, and by packing I mean they are stuffing the truck with cases of Molson Canadian beer. The next shot, the group of friends arrive at the cottage and are enjoying the summer weather by swimming in the lake, barbecuing, just having an all around good time while a keg of Molson Canadian sits near them. The narrator says,
"There is an unwritten code in Canada and if you live by it you know we have three shifts of summer: June, July, August. So you make every shift count. Seize the summer!"
Molson is also sponsoring a contest where you submit an essay in 103 words or less about how you plan on seizing the summer! The grand prize winner will receive passes to a Mega Keg Party.
Right now we are in third shift of summer and the weather couldn't be more fantastic. Yesterday we hit a high of +41C. Not that anyone of us could have enjoyed it. We had a severe, loud banging thunderstorm during the evening time the kind where the entire sky turns black and all you see is flashes and flashes of lightning. A serious question to Mother Nature: What gives? You give us such hot, humid weather but what is the point if we can't go out and enjoy the third and finally shift of summer?
HAPPY HOUR 6:45PM
Yesterday Happy Hour Day 7 took place during the thunderstorm and more importantly right in the middle of TRUE BLOOD, a show I am so addicted to. I would have blogged about Sunday's Happy Hour but the power went out and I really wasn't in the mood to post an entry by flashlight. In case you're wondering I gulped down an oh so delicious MARGARITA while enjoying a plate of cheesy nachos with extra jalapenos peppers mixed into the cheese sauce. For me the hotter and spicier the flavor the better the taste.
I wanted to have my drink today out on the patio while enjoying the sauna like weather but once again Mother Nature is acting peculiar. Not only was it raining but it is was hailing. It finally stopped around 8ish.
The only good thing the power didn't go off but the satellite did act up so I decided to watch a DVD while having a drinkie. Long time followers will know how far behind I am on my movies. The last movie I saw was The Orphan and it turned out to be a piece of garbage. I selected VACANCY 2: THE FINAL CUT. I put it back in the pile because I hadn't seen VACANCY until my sister informed me it was a prequel to VACANCY (2007).
The movie starts off showing the clerks at the cheap motel the Meadowview Inn having a side business of secretly video-taping the sexual escapades of their guests. Vacancy 2 is set 6 years earlier and explains how the clerks get out of the "porn" business and get into the sick business of making snuff films. I have yet to see Vacancy but I thought the prequel was pretty good and entertaining. Compared to The Orphan it was spectacular.
Today Happy Hour took place in my household at 6:45pm after a very fattening supper. My sister fixed me a
STRAWBERRY BANANA COLADA
1 1/4 oz Myer's Dark Rum
2 oz Coconut Cream
2 oz. Strawberries
1 Banana
8 oz Ice
DIRECTIONS
Mix well in blender until smooth. Serve in specialty glass. Garnish.
And down the hatchet Day 8 of Happy Hour went.
My verdict?
It was absolutely D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. In fact it was so delicious I had 2!
Tomorrow Happy Hour Day 9.
XOXOXOXO,
