Hey Kate! (you can ask me stuff via tumblr too. www.canadiandana.com/ask if that's easier for ya)
I'm better at baking than I am at really cooking something, and I excel at the things that are simple. So for example I've been told that I make really good fried egg sandwiches. Nothing at all special there. I'm not even sure why James raves about them all the time, but there it is! I'm also fairly ok when it comes to chili. I tired a new recipe a few weeks ago and it was a bust. So I'll have to stick to the old way from now on.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that its a good thing that James and I enjoy the simplest of simple foods. We're meat and potato kind of folk, so in the end I come off like an ok cook. haha
So now thats that's out of the way, share some recipes with me! :D -

You know, it's pretty good!
To be perfectly honest though its been quite the learning experience. This is James and I's first time living together despite being a couple for over 8 years. So believe it or not, I've actually learned a teeny bit more about James that I never knew! So it's a lot of fun. And then there's cooking. And I'm learning that too. Laugh all you want, but so far my meals have been pretty darn good. So yay me!
The actual IDEA of me being a wife has not sunk in. I've called him my boyfriend twice since we got married, and I've signed my old name like.. a billion times. It takes some getting used to to understand I'm not the same person on paper anymore.
The other day I was driving in my car running errands, and I was hit with a wave of happiness that I have never felt before. I know that's totally corny but it is what it is. :) -

Back when I was drinking pop I was drinking 6-8 cans of it a day. That is a whole lot. Since I gave it up a couple of months ago I can honestly say that I feel no different. I drank diet pop so I didn't see a weight difference, and I never had a sleeping problem, so the lack of caffeine didn't make that any better either. Because of no actual feeling of change, the denying myself the sweet nectar seems kinda worthless.
That being said I will be totally honest in saying that I have probably had 4 sodas since quitting. Which is cheating I know, but the alternative is as much as I was drinking before hand and keeping that in mind I'm actually doing really well.
Yes I miss it. I miss it a lot actually. They say it takes 9 days to break a habit, but this one is really hanging on. I really liked drinking pop. I am also aware that the lack of aspertaime in my system my not be a change I can see or feel, but I'll be willing to bet that my body is actually much happier.
Its been over 2 months now since I really knocked it off so I'm proud that I got this far. It's just a shame to give up something so good, ya know?

Oh I am so happy you asked. Because I'm pretty sure the worst movie I have seen in recent memory was watched with my eyes just last night.
We watched When in Rome last night and the two of us could BARELY get through it. Which is a real shame because both of us really like Kristen Bell and Will Arnet, so it seemed like a movie with both of them in it couldn't miss....? Well it did. It was horriffic.
Here's the premise. Stop reading if you intend to actually see this because I'm going to spoil the crap out of an already totally predictable ending.
Here we go:
Beth (Kristen Bell) is a workaholic. She has no time for men, and she'll know that she's in love when she finds a guy she loves more than her job. (gagging yet?) Beth's little sister announces that she's getting married in Rome that weekend, so Beth flies down there. While there she hits it off with the best man, Nick (Josh Duhamel) but before things can really develop, Beth sees Nick kiss another girl, so she does what any girl who didn't want a man to begin with because she's in love with her job would do, she gets wasted and frolics around in a fountain that is supposed to grant love to those who throw coins in it. Beth's one woman protest against love (after spending about 30 mins with this guy no less) is to take coins OUT of the fountain so that they don't get their wish.. or something.
OMG... guess what happens NEXT?! All of the coins that she pulls out just happen to belong to men, (I'm sorry but a fountain with that kind of promise seems a little aimed at women, no?) and every one of them fall in love with Beth and somehow manage to all be in the United States when she gets back. And they are all some kind of weirdo with insanely bad accents, so Beth spends a good portion of the movie avoiding them in what I am to assume was suppose to be full of hilarity. SNORE.
UHOH! Trouble is a brewin'! Nick calls Beth after the trip to Rome because he really likes her and the woman he kissed was a misunderstanding (common knock on our doooorrr) And then it dawns on Beth that perhaps she has Nick's coin and he only loves her because of the fountain's spell. (if you've stopped reading already then I congratulate you. You did better at shutting ME off than I did with this movie.)
WHAT EVER WILL SHE DO!?!?!? Well it turns out that Beth can break the spell by returning the coins to the fountain in Rome. But she can't! She has this work thing that's super important! Don't worry dear Beth, we modified the rule just for you. Just give the coins back to the guys who pitched them in the fountain in the first place. Lucky for you there was a hax.
What happens when she gives the coin back to Nick? Nothing... he still loves her. They get married? SORTA! She ends up walking out of the church when she realizes that she had his real coin in the... you know what? I don't even care to tell the end anymore.
Long story long, the coin was someone else's. They live happily ever after. Lord help us all.
TL;DR? I don't blame you one bit. -
CanadianDana via Spring
The meaning of the name Dana is Danish, From Denmark
The origin of the name Dana is American
Alternate spellings: Danah
I wish like crazy I had a great story behind why my parents named me Dana. Because I for one enjoy my name! But nope. Nothing special here.
I was named Dana because my parents went to high school with a girl named Dana and they liked it. And that's that!
Possible names I could have been called if Dana wasn't an option:
Girl- Shelby or Lacey (it was the 80's)
Boy- Jake. -
asked by Redlow
Tap Dancing: I did this for like 4-5 years in my tweens. There's gotta be tapes around my parents house of my recitals and junk. I actually really liked it.
Opera: I have no strong feelings about this one way or the other.
Medieval Studies: Sure, why not?
American Politics: The country means nothing. I have very little knowledge of any kind of politics. American or Canadian. When it came time to give out points to things Dana is interested in politics came in dead last. Perhaps as an adult I should remedy that, but something tells me that on a large scale it would give me a headache.
Modeling: I enjoy a pretty picture with a pretty model. But again, this is an area that I know very little about.
3D Modeling: Yes please. As we all know I love video games. So I enjoy 3D stuffs. I have no idea how to create such things myself of course, but I sure like playing with 'em!
Public Television: Sometimes I have this silly fantasy where I run a public access TV station. And every show is like Wayne's World, or the stuff that was on UHF. There are a few shows in the Detroit area that walk a fine line between brilliant and insane, and of course I love it. There needs to be more of that.... Come to think of it, I'll bet I can find some public access type shows online. I gotta do that. -
Let me preface this question by letting everyone else know what 'Specs' is. Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts is where I met James oh so long ago. Ahh the times we had.
Now on to the answer. I think I would have to go with Mike Z on this one. Mostly because I follow him on Twitter and junk and have a basic idea of what's up with that dude. Also he was my bestie during those days AND he was the one who sort of introduced James and I. Come to think of it..... I kinda miss that dude. Z Baby, call a bitch! ;) -
I thought about this for DAYS. DAYS!! And it finally hit me. Is it an echo?

Alright let's see. What has four legs...? A table... but that makes no sense. Some bugs have four legs. But I can't come up with a way in which that would work. Animals have four legs. Let's see.... Maybe I shouldn't focus on the first part. Let's think travel. What do you need to be ready to travel? A suitcase? No legs there.....
*thinks*
A kangaroo has a pouch but they only have...
OH! An ELEPHANT! The have a trunk and four legs. -
Ok I have to admit, I cheated a little bit. I told a pal the riddle and they gave me the answer. So I can't chalk this one up to Dana's fully working brian. so here's the answer. Not mine.. but an answer all the same.
The boy wins by holding a glass of water over his head? -
Black Ops and Bulletstorm are totally on my radar. I just fear that the COD:BO is going to be all kinds of crazy when it coes to multiplayer. I find that MW2 is already teetering on the 'too much going on' front, not to mention people findind way to eploit the hell out of glitches. So as long as things are balanced I'll be ready to play!

Oh hell... I suck at these kinds of questions. Thinks....
Well let's work this out, shall we? How else do you shoot a person BESIDES with a gun? That would be by taking their picture. That also works for the hanging portion of the question. As for the water.. hmm. OH WAIT! She could have developed the picture herself right? So the picture is dunked in water for developing.
So here's my answer. The dinner between the husband and wife was possible, because the wife shot his picture, developed it, and then hung it on the wall!
Total thinking time = 7 minutes. Honestly, I've just shocked myself.
