Moderate Apartment Progress

I think I've found an apartment! I'm going to sign the lease tomorrow!! Lets wish and hope and pray to Doctor Who/God/Morgan Freeman that everything works out. Until then I will fantasize and daydream about design decision I will soon be able to make!!












I want to do this with my cupboards of the future!!! How awesome and functional??

U-G-L-Y

I'm afraid I ain't got no alibi.

Sometimes I feel like nobody sees me. It's my worst fear. Selfish, but true. It's not like I think I'm the smartest, most beautiful, fabulous-beyond-belief person in the entire universe. I just want people to see me and validate me as the not smart, not beautiful, not fabulous person I am. Does that make sense to you? There are so many things and people I love for their imperfections and I want people to see mine.

I was about to go to bed and I took out my contacts and couldn't see. I decided to take some pictures of myself whithout my contacts (I wouldn't be able to see myself to "pose" like normal.) I only took a few shots because I feel disoriented when I can't see anything. These are the pictures that actually focused/didn't cut off most of my face. You can click through for ginormous pore exposing versions (they are scaled down from the originals on my computer).

P.S. I made them black and white for dramatic effect. I wanted them to look old. Like they weren't from 2009 or any time in particular.







Don't feel pressured to comment. This is in introspective post. I almost made it private but that would sort of negate the purpose.

Design Daze

Oh god. So much horirble alliteration. Meredith has found a website of 99 things you have to see on the intertubes. So if you are behind, check out what you've been missing. Meredith is a fan of the grape stomp. Anyway, I'm sitting in class looking at apartmenttherapy and accruing interior design ideas I'll probably never use.


















A sweet DIY pillow customizer! Boring to awesome!!

























This awesome artist!!! Need to get prints!

Tatiana Del Crazy

Oh Dear God.
Shoot me now. Are you ready for the crazy that is this chick? I don't think you are. I mirror every sentiment Simon makes towards this mess.




The best part of this clip is not the bouncing underneath an unflattering fabric, or Paula's generous ring giving ceremony, or even the akward Seacrest mauling..

But this shining moment where headband guy mirrors the reaction of North America as we witness this horror:

Rancho Linko!

Everyday I drool and stare at my blog roll taking in probably thousands of links. Most of them are boring and suck. Some of them are painfully amazing. Some of them are just plain interesting to me. I always want to find someone to send them to. To share them with. Instead I'm just going to post them here every day and add them as I find them. Some of my favourite blogs are Feministing, Snootysims, Deus Ex Malcontent, Environmental Grafitti, and The Pioneer Woman. These are just a few man. You have no idea. (P.S. Yes, I'm addicted to Perez Hilton too, even though I find him appalling.)

There are new sims 3 videos on youtube. I haven't seen them yet, but I assume because by virtue of being Maxis the content is just the same rehashed footage with 30 new seconds of talking head repeating something from a press releases. (1 & 2)

I hate stuffwhitepeoplelike because its sort of true. They totally left out clever math tattoos! (stuffwhitepeoplelike)

Smoking weed is bad for your ballsack. Seriously. I'm definetely sending this to my neighbours who feel like it is necessary three times a day. A great smell to wake up to... (AOL Health)

Looks like David Icke was right! I feel like a fool for not believing him. A FOOL! (totallylookslike)

And the coolest link of the day so far is about hurling yourself from a cliff... (Environmental Grafitti)

My Obama Speech

Harold Saxon Obama speech generator presents...

My fellow Americans, today is a smelly day. You have shown the world that "hope" is not just another word for "book", and that "change" is not only something we can believe in again, but something we can actually fart.

Today we celebrate, but let there be no mistake – America faces pretty and blue challenges like never before. Our economy is long. Americans can barely afford their mortgages, let alone have enough money left over for noodles. Our healthcare system is ruffled. If your thumb is sick and you don't have insurance, you might as well call a equestrian. And America's image overseas is tarnished like a vase tower. But birthing together we can right this ship, and set a course for Ottawa.

Finally, I must thank my hairy family, my stripey campaign volunteers, but most of all, I want to thank loom operators for making this historic occasion possible. Of course, I must also thank you, President Bush, for years of breast feeding the American people. Without your artsy efforts, none of this would have been possible.

OC Transpo Strike

I stole this from Alaina's livejournal.

Creativity and the Sims

Meredith and I had to think up a discription for a novel my sim wrote on the fly. It had to be a romance novel that involved a ship, crime, ambulances, and sorcery. This is what we came up with

CRIME CRUISE
When Celia Cockburn climbs aboard the S.S. Deltabreast she has an instant dislike for Captain Dex Ruffston. When Captain Ruffston needs her help in the investigation of her roommate's murder, occult specialist Celia is called on deck! The witch hunt brings her closer than ever to any man she has ever met. Will the Captain's steeley eyes and powerful triceps warm her witchy heart?

BREATHTAKING!

I am slightly tired so I'm going to bed but here's the current heir in my legacy (well she has a baby so technically her daughter is the current heir, but you know).

This isn't so much a meme as a comment thread from Pajiba's Dustin's Eloquent Christmas Buying Guide.

This Christmas, if money were no object, what would you buy for:

1) Your Parents
2) Your Significant Other
3) Your Child(ren)
4) Your Best Friend
-------------------------------------------------------

1. I'd get my parents a vacation place down in Puerto Vallarta or maybe a place in San Francisco for the winter. (I know it snowed there this winter, but still, it'd be beautiful).

2. Malamute Puppy! He seriously wants one of these little guys so badly. Plus it would also be a bit of a gift for me because I will get to play with it and love it and snuggle it, but it will be his job to take it out to poo in the middle of the night and feed it and train it, etc etc.

3. For children I'm going to say Annie and Meredith because they are like little sisters.
For Meredith I'd get her a really nice condo downtown where she could have everything organized to her specific way and she could also sleep whenever she wanted to and watch whatever she wanted on tv. Maybe also a sexy live in butler.
For Annie I guess I'd get her some kind of Mr. Universe pad so she'd never have to leave her room and could just live from her office chair.

4. I'd get her a full wardrobe of regency period costumes and a country house with regency period staff where she could live out her life LARPing with Laura and whenever we visit her we aren't allowed on the grounds without regency costume.

Christmas Music

There is only one good Christmas song in the world.




You know its true!

Russell <3's Obama

"Now, it would be churlish of me to take all the credit for his subsequent success but in his heart Obama knows that to some degree my wisecracking put him in the Oval Office and it's payback time."

Russell's Football Column in the Guardian

I miss him and Matt and Gee and Noelie so much... my Saturdays are bleak and cold without him and not just because its November.

Check Out My Tight Protein Strands!

I'm so addicted. I've spent an hour folding protein.




FOLD IT!!!!

Lightening the Mood

This is funny. My friend posted it on Facebook and I want to post it on my facebook, but isn't that copying?

Y'all Bitches

Auf Wiedersehen, You're Out

Ahhaha I love this commercial. Imagine Heidi Klum just does this in her apartment.

C'est L'Halloween

Yay FSL Grade 3!!!!

Do You Hulu

This is just about the best thing ever.





Now I shall watch ALL TV ALL THE TIME!

Also, does anyone know how to fix old timey desktops (JON?)? Meredith's computer is broken beyond my knowledge and she can't afford to get a technician in to fix it. This is quite upsetting.

Busy Times

Boo, I'm working hard at school (reading mainly... lots and lots of reading). My boyfriend is in Winnipeg for a few days training for his crazy U.N. mission.
