THE LANGUAGE OF BREAKING UP (Glamour)

• Booty Haul: The act of retrieving your stuff from your partner’s apartment a few days before dumping him/her; because you know it will make you look petty to ask for it after breaking his/her hear.
• Breakover: A post-breakup makeover. Join a gym. Get a haircut or a hot new wardrobe. It’s revenge that benefits you, rather than directly harming your ex, bodily or otherwise.
• Bunny Boiler: A clingy, overbearing, vindictive, possessive, obsessive, unhinged ex, named for Glenn Close’s Fatal Attraction character, who cooks her ex-lover’s daughter’s pet rabbit.
• Command-Z: As in “Undo! Undo!” All the impulsive stuff that you say in the heat of a breakup and immediately wish you could take back.
• Endship: The imaginary friendship that is insincerely wished for — as in, “I really hope we can still be friends” — by the dumper. However, two and a half seconds after they’ve left you in a puddle on the floor, they start erasing your digits from their phone.
• Groundhog Dump: When ending a relationship is dragged out over days or weeks, forcing you to relive the breakup again and again.
• Leg-clinger: A dumpee who cries, begs and pleads with you to reconsider and take them back. Be sympathetic — we’ve all been there.

Well, I was on vacation for the last week of August, and apparently I was missed.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best show on television. And if you’re in Calgary, you have to wait many months after it originally airs to see this Emmy-award winning HBO series. The sixth season debuted on The Movie Network in Ontario and HBO in the U.S. this past Sunday night. Movie Central here in alberta doesn’t carry it. I sent an e-mail to them and got a pretty generic reply offering various excuses, but it’s not good enough. If Shaw/Corus/Movie Central claims to care about quality programming as they claimed in a recent newspaper ad, then they’ll carry this show. Here’s a link where you can write to them and tell them they should carry it. If enough people ask for it they’ll get it.

I want Curb Your Enthusiasm on Movie Central!

This afternoon between 4-5 we’re going to have a sexual health advocate come on the show and let us pick her brain. If you need some advice, feel free to leave your questions here. It’s anonymous, if you choose.

With the first appearance of Cheryl from the Calgary Humane Society, I thought I’d ask you whether you are a dog or cat person. I love all types of animals, but have a really soft spot for dogs. I contemplating opening it up to a wider variety of animals, but for now, it’s between the two. Look over there to the column on the right —>

Now scroll down to the poll, and vote wisely.

And tune in Thursday at 2:30 when we’ll have another visitor.

My biggest fan called a few days after my birthday (August 21st by the way….where’s my gift?) and talked about my Facebook and about the fact she was babysitting.

Today Cheryl from the Calgary Humane Society came by with Henry, a really friendly dog up for adoption. Check out their website if you’re thinking of getting a pet. Here are some pics:

What have friends of X92.9 the Dudes been up to? They’re playing a show here in town on September 22nd, and will be dropping by our studios at 17th and 2nd to play some live songs. They’ve been holed up in Toronto recently recording a new album and caught the attention of the CBC:

Got some new frames that I thought were kind of interesting and my mom thought were a joke and kinda Elton John-ish.
