Happy Groundhog day yesterday! I hear tell that the Ground hog saw it’s shadow, which means six more weeks of Winter. I think. But I can’t remember what the other option is. Is six more weeks a good thing? It doesn’t sound so bad to me. I seem to remember as a child hoping that the Groundhog would see it’s shadow, but maybe that’s just because I think it’s sad when your shadow is missing. Though I do remember making brown construction paper cut-outs of Groundhogs in my kindergarten class

Mo’ Mogo Mogo! So satisfying. So very satisfying. I am so incredibly happy to have my Survivor back on the air! Man oh man is it good! It is just so damned nice not to have to learn new characters and such. I learned tonight that my love for Rudy, Richard, Big Tom and Lex are still going strong, and my hatred for Boston Rob is burning with a fiery passion. I’ll take other Rob any day. I’m not really feeling the women all that much so far. I was really sad to see Tina go.
I'm pretty sure she has no idea how spacey she is. So even if she read it and got upset she'd probably forget what she had read within minutes.
why thank you?
For those interested, Superbowl comes through spell check to be changed to "Superb Owl"
I know! I will. She's so oblivious that even if she found out I was blogging she'd be like: "you have a computer?"
I am so tired. Oh man. I have no idea why. I got nine hours of sleep last night, got up at noon, had brunch at one, tried to do work and just slept from 2:30pm to 4pm. Not good. I have a lot of reading to do today, and a response to write for tomorrow. Everything right now is being timed accordingly to the end of the Superbowl when precious precious Survivor AllStar is to begin. Mmmmm Survivor. I just have to get everything done by then and life will be fine. But to maintain my sanity I
Last night for the banner we went with "Oy! Jewish Culture!" Which is far funnier when said with a Jewish New York accent. Then we also made a little 'why we chose Jewish food' banner which added to the hilarity, but wasn't offensive. I dunno. I'm just pleased that it's done!
Good for you. Now you can help me with my homework.
I can call you tederick if you like! You are infinitely cool. In fact sometimes I can't sleep at night because I am pondering your substantial cooleness.
Tonight is a sad sad night. I have just been informed of the untimely death of Gary the snail. Gary you will be missed. I will never forget the meticulous way in which you sucked the algae from the walls of our tank, and how your tiny red eyes would swivel about. Goodbye sweet Gary.
I tried to do work. I really did. But instead I ended up watching Shakespeare in Love. Oh that movie hurts. It’s so beautiful and reference filled! And lovey! Oh why isn’t Phantom here now! But alas he is not, and I await my pizza alone. I’m glad I spent my afternoon movie watching and crocheting (though I had to stop because I’m developing a crochet claw). Now that it’s out of my system though I can focus on the banner I have to make tonight for World on a Plate. The entire re
Mission accomplished indeed! I blared "School's Out" when I left.
We'll be over flickin' your master during spring break! Promise!
So after a week sans blog, I’ve decided that since it’s twelve thirty on a Saturday and I can’t think of anything to do besides readings for next week, it’s about time for some blog. Phantom came to visit me yesterday afternoon through to this morning, which was awesome. I took him to this shop downtown where they sell an odd assortment of retro/used clothing, native crafts, and vinyl. We spent like an hour there so that he could go through as many records as possible. But I bough
Apparently the president of our University has a mandate to keep the school open no matter how snowy and horrible it is. All of the city of Guelph was shut down today, all the elementary schools, the high schools, but not the University. That wouldn’t be so bad, except that Waterloo and Laurier were both closed today too! What the hell!
The lame content on the site will probably continue into tomorrow evening as I am incredibly busy and stressed. Bah. I'm trying to put together a seminar for tomorrow about Human Rights and Disability issues in Guelph, but it turns out that Guelph has some amazing programs set up for people with disabilities. The city even has it's own Disability Resource Coordinator and an Inclusion Coordinator. I feel like I'm looking for problems. Damn this city and it's awareness! Anyway, I've
And they're from me!
Thanks tederick! Yeah, it's a little unnerving that everyone could all of a sudden revolt and tell me they hate what I write, but on the upside, they give me something to read while I procrastinate.
Since I finished my first semester of University I’ve been struggling with my own role in changing the world. In most of my classes last semester I felt like I was constantly bombarded with the message that I was part of the lucky (mostly white middle class) population that received higher education and because of that I was going to be in charge of continually exploiting the rest of the world. I finished my semester feeling rather bleak. It was though instead of professors inspiring us to m
So today my goal was to finish reading Utopia. It didn't happen. I read forty pages, but it took me two hours because I kept falling asleep. (not enough sleep last night!) But that's okay because I'm a virile woman. :o) After my readnap I went up to Jess and Tama's room where we laughed... a lot. So the afternoon wasn't a total waste. Anyway, there's a serious blog to come, but I just wanted to take some time to talk about titles. I like my titles. But apparently I've be
I went to dance class by myself tonight because Jess and Tama had to grocery shop for world on a plate. Whatever. I almost didn’t go, but willpower prevailed and I braved the cold and the snow to make my way to modern jazz class. It was actually a lot of fun tonight. One of the girls in my acting class is also in the dance class so I stood with her and we identified the “sass cats” in our class. Oh there are many a sass cat. They can commonly be identified by bragging about how they are a
Apparently "unfocussing" isn't a word...
Last week I auditioned for the production of the Vagina Monologues at my school and I found out today that I didn’t get in the cast. I’m disappointed. It sucks because I thought the audition went really well. Oh well. My vagina will be quiet for now. Otherwise today was work filled. I stayed up to late last night and then had to drag myself out of bed for an eight-thirty class. This wouldn’t really matter if I were in a lecture of four hundred, but no, I’m in a seminar of nine. I
No worries Phantom. I'm all yours. :o)
