The Queue: To the Fair(e)!

The exhibition is in town and I’ve been there so much already, and there are so many more days of fun ahead of me! I haven’t been on the rides yet, but I’ve proven my iron stomach holds up by eating a pulled pork grilled cheese made with a Long John donut. Let me tell you, it was actually an interesting taste combination, and I would have it again. The rest of the fair food is pretty standard deep-fried and pickle-infused creations, but I’m still considering getting a burger served between two slices of watermelon.

The music lineup has been the true standout so far though. I’ve seen two great shows already with my best lady, and there are so many more! Tonight we’re going to go see Metric!

While I see if I can remember all of the lyrics to Black Sheep, it’s time for — The Queue!


The Queue: Rushing through Summer

Can you believe that we’re already so far into July?! It’s rude! Things need to slow down a bit and let us enjoy the weather.

Although it’s been pretty toasty out around here, so maybe it’s ok if we keep moving pretty quickly. Anything to get us closer to the best month, October. Things can slow down then!

The Queue: Monday sneaks up on you

Somehow Monday has returned.

I swear that it was just Friday, but I blinked and now there’s no weekend left. Which is very rude if I do say so myself. Someday science will progress far enough that we can live a Monday-less existence, but until then we might all feel a little bit like Garfield once a week.

While I enjoy another cup of coffee, it’s time for — The Queue!


The Queue: Today is Canada’s day!

Happy Canada to you all! Here I am all decked out in the colours red and white in honour of our day. I even spelled honour and colour the right Canadian way and not the weird American way, editorial dictates be damned! (Sorry Liz, don’t fire me!)

Whether you’re Canadian or not, let’s all raise a glass of maple syrup, enjoy a doughnut, hold the door a little too long to let someone through, have a strong opinion about hockey, and say sorry if you bump into someone today.

While you all do that, it’s time for — The Queue!


The Queue: Root, root, root for the home team!!

Today is the day, the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s been a grueling postseason to get to this point, but the Edmonton Oilers have the chance to win it all and bring the Cup home to Canada for the first time in 30 years.

We’re all a little excited around the city, to say the least. There have been free concerts downtown, and I’m sure a record number of people calling in sick to work so that they can watch the game. Not only because we like it when our team wins, but because if they win tonight they’ll pull off a reverse sweep in the finals. Winning their 4/7 games after the Florida Panthers had already gotten three wins. Each game was do-or-die, and somehow they managed to get their stuff together and bring us to game 7. If the Oilers win tonight, they’ll be only the second team to win the Stanley Cup in a reverse sweep — the first was the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942, 82 years ago!

It’s going to be a wild night!

I guess I can talk about video games until then though, it’s time for — The Queue!


The Queue: Crickets

Man, this was a slow weekend for the Queue! Is it nice outside or something? I know that where I live there are lots of people really tied up in the whole hockey situation, and I guess Father’s day must’ve had a hand in it too…

Weird! Time for the Queue.


The Queue: On holiday

Once again we’ve come to another holiday — at least if you live in the States. For Canucks like myself it’s just another Monday. Although last week we had a holiday and y’all didn’t, so I guess we’re even.

I will miss the ability to sleep in though.

While I try and get a few more minutes of sleep, it’s time for — The Queue!
