Poltergeist – Welcome To The Magical Friendship Squad! http://michaelmurray.ca Michael Murray Writes Things Sat, 18 Feb 2017 04:41:08 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 Text Messages http://michaelmurray.ca/text-messages-3 http://michaelmurray.ca/text-messages-3#respond Fri, 17 Feb 2017 22:11:51 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=6212 These are the text messages I sent to my wife Rachelle the other day:

******************************

Me: That’s not true.

Me: I hate Donald Trump.

Me: Yes, I do.

Me: I really do.

Me: What on earth makes you think I don’t?

Me: The way I’ve been shaking hands?

View post on imgur.com

Me: Look, I’ve always had a strong, Presidential handshake. It’s one of the things that attracted you to me, you know that!

Me: Oh C’mon, Justin Trudeau didn’t beat him! The media, so many lies! So unfair!!

Me: Trudeau was just trying so hard to be macho. Sad.

Me: Fake. Not true

Me: I am not talking like Trump now.

Me: Trudeau’s a bad hombre.

Me: Bigly.

Me: You see the way he was ogling Ivanka?

Me: Disgusting.

Me: An embarrassment to Canada.

Me: No, you’re an embarrassment to Canada.

Me: You are, too.

Me: Hell, I don’t even think you root for Canada during the Olympics.

Me: You’re not a patriot.

Me: You’re not helping to Make Mike Great Again.

Me: You’re a disruptive technology.

Me: Sorry????

Me: My Google Autofill?

Me: That’s a sacred precinct!

Me: You shouldn’t be poking around in there!!

Me: Well, I really don’t know why “Trump Anime Sex Fantasies” showed up there.

Me: Probably some keys Jones hit by accident.

Me: That little nugget gets into everything!

Me: What?

Me: He did what?

Me: Fuck!

Me: That was a gift from my sister.

Me. Sentimental value. Huge sentimental value.

Me: Don’t have a clue where I’m going to find another The Apprentice: The Board Game.

Me: Jesus. I feel sad.

Me: That was a fun game.

Me: Better than fucking Catan.

Me: Who wants to buy goddamn wheat?

Me: Really, you think you can make an night of it with friends “buying wheat?”

Me: Please.

Me: My attitude is fine.

Me: Anyway, we’ll see how he feels when I destroy his dog toy.

Me: I swear to God, that dog is evil.

Me: It is, too. The tail wags for no reason.

Me: No!! There was no battery in it!

Me: Really!

Me: It was creeping me out so much I removed all the batteries, but it still barked and tilted its head!

Me: Oh.

Me: I just thought there was the one spot for batteries.

Me: Who ever heard of two spots for batteries?!

Me: That’s insane!

Me: Whatever.

Me: Still think it’s possessed.

Me: Gonna murder us all in our sleep.

Me: I am going to build a wall around that dog and make Jones pay for it.

Me: No, watching Poltergeist hasn’t poisoned me against a toy dog!

Me: Well, maybe.

Me: Yeah, I guess you’re right.

Me: I had forgotten how scary that movie is.

Me: Netflix should be more careful with the types of movies they broadcast.

Me: Yes, I was.

Me: Have you ever watched Poltergeist stoned?

Me: Fucking terrifying.

A long drive from Toronto to Ottawa http://michaelmurray.ca/a-long-drive-from-toronto-to-ottawa http://michaelmurray.ca/a-long-drive-from-toronto-to-ottawa#comments Sun, 29 Dec 2013 22:09:32 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=4046 On Boxing Day Rachelle and I drove from our broken, powerless apartment in Toronto to visit my family in Ottawa. Actually, Rachelle did all of the driving while I sat in the passenger seat making observations. A trip that normally would take four hours, took eight. These are the Tweets I sent out on our journey:

T.O blackout

michaelmurrayca: We’re finally leaving the cold, dark ice cave of Toronto!

michaelmurrayca: First, passing through the Rosedale Valley of Death. The forest is looming bent and horrible over road, like tree in Poltergeist.

michaelmurrayca: Oh. All of Toronto also fleeing apocalypse city.

michaelmurrayca: Avoid highway unless you find tranquility in stillness. Move through car wash at much greater velocity.

michaelmurrayca: Red tail lights in front of us stretching from here to Mordor. # LikeDeathLava

michaelmurrayca: Time of winter day when everything is the same colour– even salt-wretched cars in traffic jam.

michaelmurrayca: Now moving like pre-twilight wolves through landscape! Oh. Never mind. Traffic jam again. #BoxingDayBestDayOfYear

michaelmurrayca: Empty, Dark Onroutes, like post-apocalyptic tumble weeds, litter the side of highway like reminder of life we once knew.

michaelmurrayca: Very hungry. #Hangry

michaelmurrayca: Port Hope Pizza Pizza is a crime scene. 40 customers, 1 employee. #ThereWillBeBlood

michaelmurrayca: Now full of McDonald Happy Meal. You know how I feel.

michaelmurrayca: Now trapped in an actual parking lot. Feel like punching things.

michaelmurrayca: Now moving as fast as flying dolphins! Our lives redeemed!

michaelmurrayca: Flying dolphins tricked into traffic jam cove! Hate tricks!

michaelmurrayca: 3 hours 46 minutes to not yet Belleville.

michaelmurrayca: My wife doesn’t so much like me playing Nick Cave in a traffic crisis.# BadTasteWife!

nick cave kicking lead

michaelmurrayca: Can’t believe wife doesn’t like listening to Sting! # WhoIsThisWoman?

michaelmurrayca: Now playing girl music. #MarriageTipsForTrafficJam

michaelmurrayca: Retract usage of “girl music,” meant “good music.” Very lucky to have wife like Rachelle!#MarriageProTip

michaelmurrayca: Apparently I “yell” when I speak on the phone, and ” should have gotten your (my) fucking driver’s license decades ago.”# whatever

michaelmurrayca: Stony silence for an hour and a half good for both our morale.

michaelmurrayca: Now listening to Christian motivational CD. God wants us to succeed.

michaelmurrayca: Let Jesus be your co-pilot, says voice on CD. No idea how to apply that to a traffic jam.# UselessChristianTips

michaelmurrayca: If I was King of Kings, would create traffic removal trucks instead of just snow removal trucks. #UsefulThingsGodCouldDo

michaelmurrayca: Also, if King of Kings would move Toronto and Ottawa closer together. 3 hour trip regardless of transportation method. #SoSayethTheLord

michaelmurrayca: Just didn’t expect to hit a deer while in a traffic jam. Very demoralizing, especially since deer Rachelle’s spirit guide.

michaelmurrayca:  Pretty sure Christmas now very, very ruined.

michaelmurrayca: Very dark stretch of the road, like Cormac McCarthy novel only without spears and fancy language.

michaelmurrayca: Traffic loosening up after Kingston, but now icy and douche trucks everywhere!!

michaelmurrayca: We both tried to love you and the world the best we could!
