I know this has been on the radio for awhile now, but I still can't get enough of it. It might be because the first time I heard it I was trampolining with two super fine ladies whom I love and so this song will forevermore remind me of that nice feeling that night. In any case, it's just a funass song.

The next time you're serving a large group of people, cut a circle in the center (place a small bowl on the cake and trace around it). Then cut the outer ring into slices. You'll have nice square pieces that fit on a plate, instead of long wedges that drop off the edge. You can cut the small round middle into pieces too.
HOW SMART IS THIS.
Food Trucks Near Mississauga, ON
Who the hell knew there was a booming food truck industry in the suburbs of Toronto? Over the past few months, I've made a list of some of the trucks that I've heard good things about and will eventually try.
- CORNehCOPIA from Mr. Corn - Canada’s first and only gourmet food truck specializing in corn on the cob and various corn dishes. Um, what? I love corn AND I WANT THIS FANCY TRUCK CORN. You can see their menu here.
- BeaverTails - I've never had a beavertail! Is that a thing Canadians are supposed to have tried already? I only learned what one is recently, so I'll use that as my excuse. You can see where they'll be next by following their Twitter.
- Ish & Chips - a fish & chips truck, basically. I mostly want to go here because of how much my brother Gary uses the word "ish". You can see their menu here.
- Curbalicious - whoa. Just woah. Look at their poutine (pictured below). Are we serious here? That looks incredible. You can see the rest of their menu here.
- Dirty South - Specializes in southern comfort food with a gourmet twist. "The Dirty Southern Love (picture below) is their signature and most popular sandwich, which includes crispy fried chicken tossed in a mild Louisiana butter sauce and thick sliced candied bacon sandwiched between three layers of homemade buttermilk waffles and topped with baby arugula." You can find their menu here.
These are just the ones I especially want to try, but there are obviously way more out there. You can peruse some more that roam the GTA over here.

Christmas Lights On A Mirror
As the world knows, I've already started decorating for the holidays. The best part of the decorations? The indoor Christmas lights. Now, don't get me wrong. I love me some outdoor Christmas lights, but the thing is: we rent. A basement. So we don't exactly have the right (nor ladder-possessing ability) to hang any such "holiday" lights outside our home. Thankfully the indoor lights satiate my holiday urges. The great thing about these lights is that you can put them up anywhere (ie. everywhere).
I saw this photo (below) on Pinterest months ago and it still looms in my memory.
So I had to do this (below) in my bedroom.
I know it's not exactly as nice as the previous one, but man do I love it. I think I may even keep them up long after Christmas. I feel like it gives it that vanity mirror effect, but for your whole body. Yep, that's decided. I'm keeping it. CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

Melting Toht Candle
Ummm, this is fantastic. And probably the world's best gift for anyone whose favourite movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark.
As it burns, it looks more and more like Gestapo agent Arnold Ernst Toht as his face melts off at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark (the first Indiana Jones movie), when the Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant and suffer the wrath of God. You can get this ($32) Melting Toht Candle from Firebox.

Restaurant Gives a Discount for Putting Your Cell Phone in a Box
A restaurant in Sioux City, Iowa, is attempting to curb the epidemic of customers who heavily rely on cell phone usage during dinner service.
"Owner Dave Ferris doesn't want the devices cluttering tabletops like horribly ineffective utensils either, which is why at Sneaky's Chicken, servers make the rounds with shoeboxes on Wednesday evenings. Drop your phone in one, and you get 10% off your meal."
Personally, I love this idea. I'm holding out hope that it catches on, especially in major cities. I read some of the comments below the original article and people were saying that 10% is too low, which made me laugh. As if upping your discount would make you enjoy any surrounding human contact more. Anyway, I would do this in a heartbeat if a restaurant offered it. Remember a time when there were little to no interruptions in social settings? Neither do I!
