Dear Winter

Please for the love of god, go away. I mean I know that it'll provoke all the green-obsessed, but I can put up with whining better than severe frostbite. It might not have been all that bad had it not been for the fact that my pink mittens are missing. I loved those mittens, and it saddens me to think that i can't wear them again. The lovely Alex did get me an awesome pair (pics laters) of mittens, but they're quite large and I think I'll wear them when winter really sets in. But, I digress.
Although I live in Canada, I think I am entitled to a mildly balmy winter, or at least a smooth transition. But no, Winter is like the old crotchety man of the seasons, it's incontinent and likes to meddle with the affairs of other seasons, namely fall. I have a fall jacket, I have a winter jacket. But my fall jacket isn't as thick as it could be and therefore is not very warm when it is under 5 degrees Celsius. Problem here? I don't want to wear my winter jacket just yet, and my fall jacket is unsuitable for heavy layering; unless of course I begin removing buttons.
This sudden switch between 14 degrees to snowing is very confusing and frustrating. It's impossible to gauge what to wear everyday knowing you're either going to be sweltering or frozen to the bones. What happened to the crisp autumn days I used to love? It's all gone now apparently no thanks to the humidity that likes to hang around.
I suppose what I'm trying to say to winter is: please leave my fall days alone! Fall is my favourite season, and this is not a pleasant autumn!

Random Act of Pirate!


So, Victoria, Jessica and I have taken up random act of pirating. Basically, we printed out the pirate (on the left) and tape it to people in a stealthy manner.

Speaking of stealthy, Kloonigames has a pirate fishing game out! If you were oh so cool, you'd have heard of Crayon Physics which was created by Kloonigames.. in a week. That's right. What does this have to do with stealth? Well, between weekly game making hiatus, he made a game about the boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark. And if anyone ever decides to download the game and play it, they'll quickly realise the awesomeness of all that is the boulder and its stealthyness. What I'm trying to say here is Kloonigames is pwn.

Oh, and here's a sneezing panda for shits and giggles.

The Odyssey!

So, our history class is watching "The Odyssey" but not just any version, it's the TV miniseries from 1997!
This movie is utterly ridiculous, characters, acting, and the random sex scenes between Penelope and the sea. Like WTF?
right, So in the beginning, Odysseus's son is born.
Okay. this movie is too ridiculous to blog about. I just... CAN'T.

So, I bought Regina the (only) first season of jPod, and we ended up watching the entire first disk, consecutively. It's the best thing that has ever graced TV, with the possible exception to Pushing Daises and Dexter. House is pretty good, but not the BEST.

And if you were wondering why I did not embed the video, it's because I can't.
Either way, jPod is pwn. Like actually.

So I was doing some online shopping...

and I come across this
Namely, this dress.
I was actually looking for the Judy Jetson dress, but that one is pretty awesome. Unfortunately, I don't really like to buy clothes off the internet in case I look stupid in it, and then I'll have to pay twice the shipping or whatever.

In other news, our history is watching a made for TV mini series on "The Odyssey" (while I typed that, I realised how awkward odyssey is to spell) and I must say it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. But that's another story for another time :)

So I glued my fingers together yesterday.


Actually. With superglue. Luckily, nail polish remover dissolves the bond. Well, actually, Acetone. So if you've got an acetone-free nail polish remover, you're screwed.
So I was working on my art project, the lego sculpture. I was supergluing most of the parts together (2 decks of cards, two matchboxes, two forkettes/ tiny tiny forks, a candle, a paper hat, and one salt shaker) to make something that kind of resembles Lego. And somehow, my had slips, and I find two of my fingers stuck together. Intrestingly enough, this is not the first time it's happened. My mom glued her finger to the glue bottle once, and I was stuck on google duty.
In anycase, my lego dude is done, but I don't think he really looks like the original, which kind of makes me sad. and by kind of I mean it's quite tragic. (again, I have pictures, they will arrive sooner or later) But whatever, I'm done, and that's all that matters!

Also: I recently discovered the wonders of La vache qui rit, you know, the cheese? It's amazing! Very yum, waaaaay better than cream cheese.

Oh and I just have to post some pictures my dad took of the Fam & Friends...


and...
