Hey there rover come on over
Wow 12 years since ytk. More importantly 12 years since the family guy y2k episode where they went looking for the twinkie factory. Ha HA. seriously what happenned with the cheese and crackers? Man i'm over tired. Happy new year to everybody. Left foot, right foot
Where's the cheese and crackers?
Watching New Years Rocking eve on tv right now. They're running old clips from the 80's and 90's when i was watching the show. Just saw Tears For Fears and the spice Girls and billy idol. Fergie from the black eyed peas is hosting. I can't believe i have friends that think she is gross. To them i have to ask---really? I'm just rambling now. Counting down to cheese and crackers.
Can't wait till tomorrow. We're counting down our favorite movies of 2011 on the show. This year kath and i are doing separate lists just to see how different they are. Can't wait. It's been 2 weeks since our last show. Oh yeah just a big shout out to John and Rach and Stacey for helping with the show in December.
Resolutions 2012
Well i guess its time to look back at my resolutions from last year and see how i did. Here's a recap
Jay's goals and resolutions for 2011
1) I'm gonna diet again and hopefully by the end of 2011 i'll be a slender reed. I want to drop some weight so i finally get to wear a costume to a convention.
2) ok seriously i need to relax at work. I'm going to try really hard to be calm around these assholes. If i have a heart attack at work the red necks win and we can't have that!
3) i want to make sure i stay in touch with all my friends a lot better than i did this year. I've already told friends like Dennis and Lisa we should get together more often. I want to at least email friends a lot more often.
4) more fun with the show. I want to try really hard to get more interviews this year. The more i do the better i will get at it.
5) ok i am running out of Party Of five actresses to have a 3 way with. This year i will try for Neve Campbell. She may have to take a day off of work from Macdonalds to accommodate this. Honestly I have the full support of my lovely wife Kath
How did i do?
1) Yeah the diet was non existant. I usually diet in the summer. Not this year. The diet was in the toilet.
2) ha ha ha. Yeah i'm never gonna relax at work. I've been downright angry at work. I tend to swear like a trucker. It ain't pretty
3) well i wasn't really successful at staying in touch with friends. Although i did hang out with Dennis and Andrea and Stacey.
4) ok i had so much fun with the show this year. We broadcast from the first Niagara Falls con,we also returned to wizard world where i got to interview an honest to God Kid in the hall.
5) can't believe the neve campbell 3 way was a bust. She wouldn't even return my calls.
ok the moment you've been waiting for
Jay's 2012 new years resolutions
1) I'm dead serious about losing weight this year. My short term goal is to lose 10 pounds before Wizard World in August. I want to lose at least 20. If i cut all the crappy food i should be able to do it. Fingers crossed
2) i want the show to keep going. I want more interviews this year. I want to broadcast live from assorted geek events
3) ok i know i need to chill out at work. I hate the job but i have a family to support. If i have to be there i should try and be happy about it
4) i think i should take another crack at inventing time travel. I want to travel back to meet the guy who coined the phrase "the customer is always right." and punch him in the balls
5) ok i'm running out of party of 5 actresess to have a 3 way with. I think Paula Devicq the maildis still left so lets say her. I do have the full support of my lovely wife Kath. Seriously.
I really hope 2012 is a fun year. There were a few good moments here and there this year but for the most part i consider it a rotten year. We lost Hesh, I got moved to another jb that i dislike as much as the last one and i still feel like i don't know what the hell I'm doing. Some opportunities that i thought were going to pan out for me didn't. I'm gonna try and put all that behind me and work on having the best year possible. I have my family standing beside me and i have my health. So happy new year everybody.
New years feast
Man i am looking forward to new years eve tonight. We're gonna have a big Stewart family pig out, Steak and fries and cheese and crackers and chips. One last blow out before i buckle down and go on a diet. I want to lose 10 pounds before wizard world in April. I can do it! maybe?
Rochester bound
Yesterday we finally made it back to Rochester. Unfortunately it was a really sad reason that brought us back. Kath's aunt had passed away on Christmas day and yesterday was the funeral. Luckilly for me work let me have the day off. We found out the funeral was 9 in the morning so we had to be on the roadtro Rochester by 6;30 in the morning. Quite the early morning.
Guess how we started the morning? You guessed it--dead battery again! Hooray! and it was 6;30 in the morning. Again we got lucky. A very nice neighbour that we have never seen before gave us a boost. We were gonna have to do something about that pesky battery real soon. We arrived in Rochester a few minutes before the funeral. It was a really say event. I didn't know Kath's aunt really well but she seemed like a really nice human being. I have to say that i am so proud of Diana. She was so quiet and well behaved during the funeral.
Following the funeral we went to visit with Kath's dad and his fiance. We had a really nice lunch and they gave us some Christmas presents. My brother in law Jaime also showed up with our niece Victoria and nephew Jamieson. I couldnt believe how Victoria had changed. She is 14 now. I couldnt believe it. I met her when she was 2 years old. She seemed all grown up. I am very old.
We left a few hours later and visited a couple of new comic book stores. Of course we wanted to buy one of everything. I picked up a couple of comics and we left our business card. I can't wait to go back when we have more time. They were both cool shops. While we were getting comics we decided to go to an auto poarts store Kth's dad had recommended and we got a new battery. Whew. No more boosts at 6;30 in the morning.
From there we went to spend some time with our friend Rose--or bubba as i call her--its a Nash Bridges thing. Anyhow she had some nice presents for Diana. Man the kid got spoiled this year. She made out like a bandit. We decided to go for dinner and when in Rochester that can only mean one thing--garbage plate! A garbage plate is mac slad and french fries with 2 burgers coveed in onions and meat sauce. It is delicious. While we there we also got to see our friend Don. It turned out to be a really good day after alldespite the circumstances.

Happy birthday Kimmy
I just wanted to wish a very happy birthday to my super friend Ki. She and her husband Nick are celebrating their anniversary this week as well. Congrats guys.
Friendship is rare
Gonna give a shout out to 3 of my best friends who i got in touch with this week. First of all i will go on record as saying that i suck when it comes to writing to friends. I also am not a phone guy. I used to love talking to friends on the phone in my younger days but in my adult years not so much.
First of all i heard from my buddy Scott. I think we may have wrote once in all of 2011. Scott moved to England years ago. We both admit that we suck at the emailing. I always have so much i want to tell him but i am far to lazy to write. We wrote a couple of times this week. His emails always make me laugh.
Speaking of Scott back in 1988 he introduced me to another long time awesome friend--Andrea. We've been through a lot together over the last 23 years. I did actually get to hang out with her once this year at The Barney Bentall show in July. We also saw him 20 years ago in 1991. I know she reads the blog so i will go on record as stating we will hang out more in 2012. There's a ton of cool movies coming out that we should all attend. Kath and i were going to all kinds of movies with her in the past but our stupid work schedules never seem to sync up anymore.
This brings me to my third shout out.I wrote to my friend Allison for the first time in 2011 on Christmas eve. Man back in the old days we were actually writing letters to each other the old fashioned way. We've been friends since the early 80's and one of very few people i still talk to from high school. I think i may have dropped a mention a time or 2 that she suggested i try my hand at blogging in the first place. I just found out her daughter is going to be 12.That makes me feel really old as i remember her writing to me to tell me she was pregnant. I think at the time i had only been dating Kath for a few weeks.
Anyhow i just wanted to say that although i may have slacked in the writing department i consider the 3 of you to be really awesome and i am lucky that after all these years you consider me a friend. I am going to try harder in 2012 to stay in touch a little more often. I apologize in advance if at the end of 2012 i am writing an entry like this again.
