Facebook is annoying

August 8, 2014 | Blog

Facebook is like that annoying kid you ask to stop with the annoying thing but they’re all hopped on sugar or bad parenting or something and they’re somebody else’s kid so you can’t touch them, and it’s a public place so they keep pressing buttons and Daddy’s out back having a smoke trying to remember what peace and quiet tastes like. Is this still annoying? Yes. Is this still annoying? Yes. What city do you live in? Carrying Place. Nope. Yes I do. Not in the database. Then stop asking me. How about Ottawa? STOP ASKING ME.

Also. Facebook Messenger. Who gives a shit? Not this guy. I’m pointing my thumbs at my chest while I type this which is really difficult so respect.

Dress codes

June 4, 2014 | Blog

Did we have dress codes in high school? We must have. I don’t recall anyone being sent home because of their attire, and we all dressed like homeless people. I guess that’s not as offensive as jean shorts or bra straps.

Joss Whedon on equality

June 4, 2014 | Blog

Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who’s confronted with it. We need equality, kinda now.

Kurt Vonnegut on happiness

June 3, 2014 | Blog

One of the things [Uncle Alex] found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when they were happy. He himself did his best to acknowledge it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, “If this isn’t nice, what is?” So I hope that you will do the same for the rest of your lives. When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, “If this isn’t nice, what is?”

Neko Case on heaven

June 2, 2014 | Blog

A favourite Neko Case lyric has been looping through my brain all weekend, for no discernible reason. I’m not complaining. “And heaven will smell like the airport, But I may never get there to prove it. So let’s not waste our time thinking how that ain’t fair.”

The Conjouring

March 17, 2014 | Blog

Saw The Conjouring on the weekend. Scariest movie I ever saw. Dood had 5 daughters. FIVE DAUGHTERS. They kept tumbling out of his car like clowns at a circus. I couldn’t believe it. I guess there was a haunted house or something too, and the mother tried to kill everybody BUT WHATEVER WHO CAN BLAME HER FIVE DAUGHTERS.
