As you know, my days are long and hectic. Come night time, I’m sometimes just too tired to do any real work on my computer and end up surfing around for entertainment instead, and I found this funny vacation rental commercial.

Well, with a name like Unitard, how can this guy not be funny as he goes around saving families from getting into bad vacation rental deals that ruins the entire holiday for the whole family?

Why, he says, when they can go over to Vacation Rental.org and pick out the best vacation lodging ever. Go watch the video at http://www.vacationrental.org/info/blogs/funny-vacation-rental-commercial—unitard.html. Enjoy!

I can’t believe I wasted spent my entire morning watching an interview with some Korean actor. The only reason I was watching it was because I was on the treadmill in the gym doing my cardio, aka captive audience!

Admittedly I’m a banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside). When I was growing up, I lived with my British-educated aunt who banned us kids from watching Asian movies. See one and you’ve seen them all, the story lines are all the same so I never developed an interest in them.

This wasn’t a movie though, it was an interview on CNN. Anyhow what could I do, I was chained to the treadmill! I have no idea who this Korean dude is except that thankfully he speaks somewhat intelligible English and I could actually catch bits of the interview through the crunching of treadmills being worked to death.

But what caught my attention was the way the Aussie interviewer was looking at him. There were moments when I thought she must surely be falling in love with this guy the way she was looking at him . It was like watching a love story unfold within an interview. How quaint!

She’s gorgeous, by the way, but I’m not so sure about him . She was gazing intently at him with her very pretty smile while he was looking everywhere else but at her. Gosh, some guys are just so blind! And that, was my Monday morning entertainment!

Hip2bDad surprised us with tickets to the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ movie the other day. Yes, it was truly a surprise because for the past 300 years, I’ve been the one booking tickets to everything and anything. So nothing was ever a surprise!

In fact, if I could’ve gotten someone else to do the work, I would’ve . Truth be told, I’m a pampered brat. When I was working in Corporate Tower, I got my secretary to do everything for me, even rescue me from boring, old meetings that were going nowhere *smirk*!

The tea lady made me tea 3 times a day and all I had to do was sip it. When I ran out of cigars, I’d send her down to the cigar store to get me some more. Okay, maybe not cigars but you get the idea, life sure was sweet then.

Anyhow, back to ‘Sherlock Holmes’. Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law make a brilliant pair as Sherlock and Watson. I thought the plot was rather elementary. An evil man wants to rule England and using his ‘magical powers’ almost succeeds in causing panic and seizing power. Unfortunately for him, nothing escapes the clever Mr Holmes ! Nice bit of holiday entertainment there. Go watch it with your kids.

It’s strange around here for some reason. Every few hours, Raine’s telling me she’s bored. I’m like, what are you saying? you guys are never bored ! It’s true, my kids always found ways to entertain themselves even when they were younger and they never complained about being bored.

We’re definitely having a case of post-concert blues in the house. And I have at least one lovesick puppy on my hands. Heck, if I were 16 and a gorgeous guy like Nick told me he likes my t-shirt, I’d be having a crush too !

After the crazy hyperactivity of the days leading up to the AAR concert, now suddenly whoosh, we have this huge big vacuum. Raine says she can’t even remember what she used to do before the concert.

Not surprising. Once I had a coursemate, a grown woman, who cried for two hours after our course ended, even though the course was so tough we all couldn’t wait for it to end. So yeah! Let’s hope we’ll snap out of it today? Maybe ?

This has been the best weekend ever! Our heads are still spinning from having met the All American Rejects (get this!) up. close!! They said hi to us, the girls got to meet them after the concert and we just can’t stop talking about yesterday and looking at the 1200+ photos we took over and over again!!

The concert was a blast! See Tyson all dressed up for Halloween last night in his native American headgear.

We were on our feet for 8 hours straight last night and with all that dancing and screaming I did, who needs fat burners? Remember I was learning the lyrics to their songs before the concert. Well, I managed to sing along to almost all of  the songs they performed. Last night was surreal, is all I can say.

And Mike is now my new hero, here he is smiling and waving at us (yes, us!)  *faints*! Mike’s so sweet and he has such beautiful teeth . Earlier he said hi to us as he was walking into Pavilion.

Nick waved at us too but that’s in another photo. How do I know they weren’t waving at 1000 other people? Because me and the girls were the only ones there and they smiled and waved when I started screaming and waving, bwahaha. Okay, you can pretend you never read this if you’re a fuddy-duddy no-nonsense mom .

And doesn’t Nick look cool in his red pants?! I want a pair just like that, omg, and while I’m at it, I might as well go get some tattoes and a nose ring ??! What do you think?

Suffice to say that having had to drag myself out of bed at the unearthly hour of 7am on a Sunday morning might’ve put me in a pretty rotten mood but um…

I’m having a blast bawling my tonsils out right now. I’m writing this post with one eye on my favorite Youtube music videos.

Trust me, if I were a teen right now, I’d be on roller skates, attaching myself to the spoiler of a moving car and flying down the freeway, bwahaha. Oops sorry, moms aren’t supposed to talk like this. Some auntie is going send me to detention, ooh! Sometimes I wonder what the stereotype for moms is, or do you think there’s even one?

I’m in a bit of a fix here as I am under royal command from my two princesses to master all the songs by the All American Rejects before their next concert .

I learn songs subconsciously by listening to them repeatedly. But the CD player in my car has finally given up the ghost so I’m left flipping radio channels hoping some kind DJ somewhere is playing an AAR song !

I try to listen to the songs on my PC as I work online and rush around all day. It’s not the most effective way but it’s better than nothing. Yes, you can see I’m really serious about this, however crazy that may sound to the fuddy-duddies .

Lyric sheets are the pits, seriously and they don’t work for me. That’s why I don’t do karaoke. Most lyrics are rubbish, the words are all wrong and there’s tons of spelling mistakes, grrr!

Right, so where does that leave me? Short of climbing steel buildings like that amazing French spiderman, I really need some help here. How do you learn songs? What’s the quickest way?

So we’re back to school… all except Raine, that is, who has a persistent cough left over from last week. I finally took her to the doc’s this morning as the cough doesn’t seem to be going away. I waited this long because my philosophy is, there are infinitely more germs at the clinic so let me try to be smart and prescribe my own medication first.

Speaking of last week, it was kinda laid back. Though the kids are old enough to keep themselves entertained, they always come around looking for me to chat or watch music videos with them. There were some afternoons they were pretty bored especially when the heat and humidity sent this sleepy mommy off to la-la-land .

Anyhow we managed to catch a few movies at home and that’s always nice. We watched Ironman for the second time (or was it the third?) and I still love Gwyneth Paltrow as the slim, sultry and stunning Pepper Potts. She’s too gorgeous for words.

And all those slave bots at Ironman’s house, wow, I could do with a couple of those. Do the laundry. Cook up a gourmet meal. Get me into that iron suit so I can zoom out the window to pick up my kids from school, hahaha, nice! Can’t wait for Ironman 2 coming out next year, woo-hoo!

Jumper is a pretty cool movie too. It’s about a guy who can ‘jump’ to any location and of course, the first place he ‘jumped’ to was the bank vault. Makes sense, why not, I would do that too, hahaha. Can you imagine going on holiday just ‘jumping’ to any place in the world without having to, um, book airplane tickets !? Pretty neat, huh? Yep… and you can stop dreaming now!
