The new spread.
This is not so neat. Why you gotta go and do that to Betty and Veronica...not every cartoon character needs to look like an emaciated Hilary Duff. *shivers* What's next? Superman loses his spitcurl and sports a Nick Carter fauxhawk?

I don't often brag about myself....
...but I figured if I don't, who will? I forgot to mention that I did some CD art for a friend of mine. You can check out his website and music mumbo-jumbo (hehe) here at OurstoDestroy.com. That's the name of their band. It's two guys, Damo and Steve. You can see some of my art along the side of the site.
Funny story about Steve...one day we're at a party at Damo's house and we're talking about hair rock in the 80s. I tell him that my family member used to be the lead singer of a hair-rock-80s band, but slightly more obscure than that of your Poison, WASP, Journey fame. When I mentioned the band was King Kobra, Steve jumped! He knew all about the band, the members, where they went after the band broke up, etc. It was fun to meet someone who knew about that.

*BLEACCCCCCK*
Oh, I have been so sicky for the last few days. I even had to call in sick to work. I haven't done that in YEARS! I barfed so much my abs were sore the next day...tee-hehehehe. Being sick makes you realize how much it sucks to be sick and how really fun it is to be healthy. Next time I'm having a bad day, I'll remind myself of this pumpkin and think that life could be much worse...Well, if I had to get sick, this is the time to do it and not next week when I go to San Francisco or the week after when I go to Michigan.

C'est l'Halloween!
Well, almost Halloween...
It feels like it's over because we already celebrated it on Saturday at the Green Fool's Party. It was super fun! Steve and I won a costume contest. The 'Artsy Fartsy' category. We went as American Gothic, the painting by Grant Wood. We won this painting as our prize!! Sorry for the crappy quality, but it's quite huge and really colorful! It's done by a local artist who has also done a few murals around the city. I was really excited about winning this. That's pretty neat to get an original painting. (and nice to have an original painting that isn't mine hanging in my house)
In other news, I decided to poke a hole in my head. I got my upper ear pierced. Not sure what you call it, it's through the cartilage, but not in a place that most people get done.. When I went to the piercing place, I actually wanted it a bit lower but the guy doing the piercing said he didn't want to go much lower in case it got infected, it has the potential to infect a facial nerve, leaving half my face paralyzed (rare but still possible). I thanked him for his opinion and opted to NOT have that happen. So it's higher than I wanted, but it's growing on me (haha, no pun intended) and I really like it.

Stay the Course!
So I try to not care about politics, sometimes I can't help myself though. Especially when it gets closer to election time and the smearing ad campaigns inundate your relaxing evenings in front of the idiot box. I guess it really makes a tv more like an 'idiot box' if you believe half the stuff that comes out of these campaign ads. With the whole Michael J. Fox vs. Rush 'The Big Fat Liar' Limbaugh some of these ads and retorts are becoming down-right mean and unfounded. But this little nugget of goodness I found on YouTube/Digg made me laugh out loud. Wow...people voted this slimeball in. Geez Georgie...do you ever actually LISTEN to what you say?

Turkey Lurky
Monday was Thanksgiving Day here in Canada so we invited our other orphaned friends over for a turkey dinner and football and hockey games. It was a lot of fun to have people over for dinner, even if we all had to crowd around on the floor for a space on our coffee table. When I have my dream house, I'll be sure to have a large dinner table so I can have dinner parties. I wish Canada's turkey day was not on a Monday though...what is it with all holidays here being on Mondays? Americans know where it's at having Turkey Day on Thursday...gives you time to recouperate after the large dinner and a FOUR instead of THREE day weekend.
Halloween is coming too! We're going to go to the Green Fools Halloween party this year instead of a house party. I'm glad. The Green Fools put on a good party with amazing costumes. I think I finally know what I'm going to be (and no, I'm not going to say what it is) but I need to hit up a fabric store this weekend and start sewing. Unfortunately I have to work this weekend though...BOOS! Working on weekends is poo, I can't believe I did it all the time at the ugly frame shop.

Total couch potato!
Yay...I'm sitting on the couch, posting in my blog. Now, I don't ever have to get up! Research, writing, emails, even video conferencing can be done from the comfort of my own big red couch. This is the epitomy of laziness....I now have my Mac Book.
Earlier today, with the click of a button, we were video-chatting with Steve's parents and brother. He walked around the house, using the built in camera to give them a tour of our apartment. It's surprisingly fast and easy and clear...and silly when you play with Photobooth. (see photo, no I don't really look like that.)

Hoot.
Hoot.I had my first golf tournament last weekend. We played a "best ball" game, basically we all drive, take the best drive, we all hit from there, take the best ball, etc. You had to use everyone's drive at least 4 times, alas...I suck. But we still won!
But Dinosaur Trail has the most difficult back 9 EVER! I'd like to see a course that was more challenging than this one. Actually, no I wouldn't. After I lost about 7 balls, I did get frustrated. We spent the night in Drumheller and our hotel had a waterslide! After lots of beers, Steve and I took a few trips down the slide. Then we went to a silly, bad rendition of an Irish pub. Silly small towns, I'm glad I don't live in 'em. But it was fun golfing with the dinosaurs.

Mmm..
So my latest food addiction dish...
Nat's Mega-Veggie Roast-o-rama
1 zucchini, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
some baby carrots, chopped
some mushrooms, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
and any other veggies lying about.
Marinate the above with a few tablespoons of salad dressing, (until coated) I use Greek Feta-something-er-other from Kraft, for at least one hour in the fridge. Bake at 350 for one hour stirring occasionally, or until cooked.
mmm.
I've discovered the wonder of zucchini. I love it! I even took it camping a few weekends ago and actually roasted it over the fire!

Summer's over..
..or at least it feels that way. They are predicting snow on Friday.
:(
The leaves are changing too.
Steve, Samina and I snuck in our last camping trip of the summer last weekend. We tried out the Tunnel Mountain Campground outside of Banff. It wasn't bad, there were even showers there! I am NOT an outdoors-woman, never said otherwise, so I like the showers. I think next year we'll look into getting some good sleeping bags...I'm talking -30 type kind. We had 5 blankets with us. It gets cold at night up there in the mountains.
We also had a fun time in Winnipeg a few weeks ago. Darryll and Angela got married, I ate too much, we tipped a pop-up camper, Adam and Heidi came to visit. It was a good time. Sometimes I wonder if we'll end up in Winnipeg. We're considering buying a house there as they are more than half less than what they are here. $100,000 will getcha something good, where as that might get you a trailer here.

Good movie!
I highly recommend Little Miss Sunshine. Samina and I went to a free screening last week and I feel like I cheated the movie by seeing it for free. It was so good I want to give the creators money. It was the funniest movie since Napoleon Dynamite.
4 more sleeps until Winnipeg.

Oooo...
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
Bill Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes creator)
This quote becomes especially true when the JonBenet Ramsey case gets more print/media coverage than new planets in the solar system! My opinion of course, but isn't the possibility of further understanding the universe just slightly more important than a 10 year old murder case?

Detoxin' in the summertime
I'm currently on day 7 of the Wild Rose Detox . It's a lot easier than it was last summer. Last summer all I could think about was bread and pizza, but this year there's very little cravings, but a lot of emotional issues. I'm a bit moody..ok, a LOT moody. Not sure what's worse, cravings or mood swings. Well, I'm sure the mood swings are more difficult on others around me, whereas the cravings are just me. Mu-hahah...guess I'll take mood swings.
Anyway, I thought I'd post a couple of recipes that worked for me this time.
Spanish Rice
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (14.5 ounce) can canned tomatoes
1 cup water
3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch ground black pepper
Brown beef. Add onion and green pepper, cook 5 min, or until soft. Add remaining ingredients and let simmer 30 minutes, or until rice is cooked. (remember this uses ingredients that are only 20% of your diet, so eat sparingly, but it does make a lot)
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
2-3 Sweet potatoes or yams, cut into wedges/strips
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
(I also used Morton's Hot Salt instead of salt/chili powder...way more punch, mmm)
2 tbs olive oil
Mix in a bowl salt, chili powder and oil. Add sweet potatoes and stir until coated. Grease cookie sheet and spread potatoes in a single layer. Bake in an oven at 400F for 35-40 minutes. Turn potatoes after 20 min. Baking time depends on how thick your slices are.
Black Bean and Corn Loaf (From the cookbook)
3 1/2 c cooked rice (1 cup raw)
2 c black beans (19oz.)
1 c corn
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1c celery, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbs basil
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 eggs beaten
2 c tomato sauce (posted below
Mix rice, beans and corn in large bowl. Saute onions, celery, garlic and oil for 5 min or until soft, allow to cool then add to bean mixture. Stir remaining ingredients. Pour into greased loaf pan, cover and bake for 30-40 minutes at 350F. Serve with tomato sauce.
Tomato Sauce
2 tbs olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans whole tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce (14oz)
2 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
(I also added some fresh tomatoes)
Saute onions and garlic in oil until soft in a large pot. Add remaining ingredients and simmer until desired consistancy. Chop up tomatoes using spoon.
(I'm sure there are lots of other ways to make a better sauce while only using Wild Rose ingredients, but this was ok and I used what I had lying around)
Non-Soy Stir Fried Rice
1 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. sesame oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (essential to making this edible, IMO, I even added more)
1 can chinese vegetables (water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, sprouts)
1 can baby peas
1 c cooked broccoli
1 c cooked brown rice (I used a rice cooker, but you can try to cook the rice IN the stir fry)
Add olive oil and 1 tbs of sesame oil to wok or large frying pan. Add onion, peppers cook til soft. Add remaining ingredients and sesame oil and stir fry for 5-10 min. (this was totally made up and ok...but at least it was stir fry that had flavor even without soy sauce, the sesame oil and pepper flakes made a huge difference)
At the local farmer's market I was able to find organic, homemade turkey sausages (20% of diet) and other meats to add some spice to this fairly bland diet.
Let me know if anyone else has done this and found any other recipes to work!

Silent Hill in a Noisy Theatre...
...you know you live in a city when....
You don't know your neighbors.
Ain't it true? When you live in a small town and your nearest neighbor is 2 miles away, you still know everything about that person, but when you live in a city with your nearest neighbor 10 feet away, you don't even know the person's name. I suppose I like it that way, that's why I live in a city..but in a strange happenstance, we met our neighbor where he works (video game store). He knocked on the door yesterday and gave us 2 free passes to see Silent Hill. Was GOOD! Not a good movie, it was good because it was like the video game and that's how it should be.
But man, it was crowded. You can read more here about our experiences with annoying people in the theatre.

Fame and punk rock..
Ooo, so I'm famous...in my own mind, maybe...
I did a google search of me, well actually "Natalie Marsh Calgary" was the search I did, and I'm the first few hits. It's fun to do that. I did that before I was married a "Natalie Zorn" search and I only had one hit and it was me...only it wasn't. I was quoted in the Michigan Daily, the U of MI student newspaper as saying a quote about a class I was taking...only I never said the quote. I was never interviewed by anyone about my practical botany class and I don't remember saying what they said I said. Well, my friend mentioned to me a few days ago that I had said a nice quote.
"Quote? What quote?"
So I did the search and came up with me saying a quote about a mural contest I judged a few weeks ago. Only, once again, I didn't say that. It's a nice quote, but I didn't say it. Maybe I said something to that effect, but not that quote exactly. When is it ok to quote someone in a newspaper? Do reporters/writers have to say "I'm going to quote you on that?" Do I have to start saying every sentence with "this is off the record, ok?"
It's just weird to have the google hits in my lifetime BOTH be me quoting saying something I didn't.
But the other hits were my about my artwork being featured on my friend's CD. That's good press and valid, at least.
Last weekend, Steve and I hit up an old-school punk rock show and what a show it was. When I left I was sweaty! deaf! and had funk all over my Converse! It reminded me of going to dirty Detroit parties and coming home with socklines on my legs from the dirt my phat pantz kicked up. I have to say that I *heart* punk shows for more reasons than the music. Even though it looks like a rough, tattooed, pierced, mohawked, scary crowd to the outsider, most punks are quite nice, politically aware of human rights, and generally mindful of the human race.
For example, you fall down in a mosh pit? 10 big dudes pick you in a one second flat! You get the wrong guy mad and he wants to fight? You have 10 big punk dudes, holding you back and chillin' you out. The music is political to the point of just being rational. Like the Iraq war was wrong and Bush was/is an idiot, or recycle muthafuckas and hug the Earth, or legalize marijuana, or the death penalty is wrong, etc. You know, basic human rights...don't kill people and treat resources and others with respect. I like how punks have a bad rep of being evil and wrong because most people considered "punk" (can never speak for a group as a whole) have quite nice, friendly dispositions.
The show made me happy.

Stinkiest Animal EVER!
Hands down, humans are the stinkiest creatures on Earth. I would much rather sit in a pig pen in the middle of July on the hottest day on record than have to sit next to the guy that sat in front of me on the bus today.
He was STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINKY!
I mean GROSS!
Like feet!...like 10,000 feet.
Come on buddy, I could also smell that you were a raging alcoholic, but take a shower or something! Ok, so maybe he's homeless, fine. But, a shower is a thing everyone should be entitled to. Maybe we can be like the Romans and have public bathing houses again. You don't have to use them if you have a bath at home, but they can be there for others to use. That would probably cut down on the amount of smelly people.

Happy New Year!
..and it's already a crazy one. We had lots of fun in Florida with the family. We went sailing, to a hockey game and we ate WAY too much food. I need a detox and a lot of pilates.
Also, I got a call from my old boss at the framing shop, not the crazy lady, but her ex-husband/co-owner. Apparently, crazy Haddie is no longer working there and he offered me my job back. Hmm...since he wants ME back, doesn't that mean I can ask for a raise?
But I'm not sure about it because I'm still working at the museum but that job too could be changing...nothing definite yet, but my supervisor at the museum left at the end of November on an indefinite medical leave (due to stress). No one has filled his position yet...so a co-worker and I are working on a plan to job share the position. That way we could still do programs with the kids, but also get more responsibility and more money (and share the stress of the job)! We have a meeting with the VP on Thursday morning. Everyone we've talked to at the museum is really excited for us and hopes that it works out. I'm preeeety sure we'll get the job, but ya never know...if it doesn't work out though, I guess I could go back to the store...but I'd rather work at the museum. At least I'd be working towards a career and less of just a job.
