Cocaine Princess here.
The Labour Day Long Weekend has arrived.
I can't believe how quickly the summer months have gone by. I never seem to look forward to September only because it means Fall is arriving followed by the dreaded "W" word. WINTER! How depressing. Although we're a couple of weeks away until it's officially autumn there are those little signs that indicate Fall is waiting around the corner:
The sun sets by 8:30pm.
The colorful flowers don't look as vibrant anymore.
Newspapers are filled with inserts featuring Back To School sales.
Stores have Harvest and Halloween decorations on display.
Sister is getting ready to head back into the classroom.
Speaking of my sister, as most of you are aware my bossy, older sister is a teacher. For some reason she doesn't find it amusing when I say, teachers have it easy, they get the summers off. Well it's true, right?
If you recall in my last post I blogged about the famous Cronut Burger that caused 150 people to fall ill. My so called theory about a rival fast food restaurant sabotaging the meat was totally wrong. It turns out the maple bacon jam is the culprit behind the food poisoning. The health board is still examing which pariticular ingredient (bacon, maple syrup, brown sugar or water) is to blame. The bakery Le Dolci, the geniuses behind the odd flavoured jam have quietly closed their business until the investigation is over. Hmm, perhaps Le Dolci should just stick to making cupcakes.
And if maple bacon jam wasn't gross enough, how about this? A customer at the Downtown Hotel in Yukon swallowed a toe in the famous "Sourtoe Cocktail." Yes you read that correctly, he swallowed a toe. The toe is part of a famous Dawson City tradition which involves drinking a shot of whiskey. The toe is usually dropped into the glass and the drinker must have the toe touch their lips. The Sour Toe started in 1973 when local eccentric named Captain Dick found a severed toe preserved in a jar. More than 52,000 have joined the club, each receiving certificates and membership cards as relics of their courageous deed. Instead of letting it touch his lips the moron decided to swallow the mummified toe. He was fined $500.00. Good God, why would anyone want to join this club? If you're interested you can view the video here of the patron swallowing the toe.
So, did anyone watch the 2013 MTV Awards on Sunday? If so what did you think of the performance between Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke? Miley's antics on stage caused somewhat of a controversy. Click here to view Miley (among other things) grabbing her crotch on stage.
What are my thoughts about the whole thing? I'm still wondering why Miley sang "Blurred Lines" with Robin rather than Pharrell Williams & T.I. and while I'm on the subject of the MTV Awards, how the hell did One Direction beat Daft Punk's Get Lucky" for Song Of The Summer?! Then again the decision was made by 9 million fans who voted. Regardless of how I feel I agree with Lady Gaga, the Brit boys didn't deserve to be booed on stage, after all 9 million fans voted for their song.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.
Whatever your plans are have a fun and safe last looong weekend of August.~x
