Beggin' Brownie

My friend decided to bake brownies for the first time today and was so excited that she sent me a picture ... naturally I exploited this obvious opportunity to mess with her.

Sweet Dreams

Hallowe'en 2009

So this past weekend was the most beloved of holidays, save for Christmas, Hallowe'en. Both my camera and my phone have been acting up: one won't take pictures, the other won't let me transfer pictures I have taken onto my computer (though I suspect this is more Jules' fault than anything else). Anyway, all I have to show for it pictures from other people's cameras (sketch). Hopefully I will be able to transfer the photos from my phone soon. Until then:

I LOVE this picture of Ainsley et Moi - we look so happy and carefree

Also, Calvin looked amazing as Tuxedo Mask!

Dry Hands and Tantrums.

I saw this picture and first thought: Adorable! I didn't think Duffy could be any cuter - but I was wrong. My second thought was of my fellow blogette who, without fail, would throw a tantrum each time she got into my car this summer and there was no hand cream. I'm not running some sort of luxurious limo service woman. Anyway she is a lover of Nivea cream and seeing this made me think of her tub of the stuff and dry hands =D Happy Friday.

Highschool Confidential 2009

Last December I had way too much fun creating THESE. Well folks - Yearbook Yourself is back up and running with a whole new set of fun pictures to insert yourself into, so of course instead of studying, that is just what I did!

Peruse this little gallery while listening the THE Teenagers - Feeling Better

Prom Queen and ... Queen?

Science Rules!

Camera Club!!!

Friday Night Lights ... Ladies Night

Rah! Rah! GO TEAM!

Calvin rocks out to Motley Cru

lounging on my floral couch - it's just a typical tuesday night!

Housemates perform a House cheer!

Games Night on Wellington!

Mac Myth

First week of classes is finished - yay weekend! Yup, you read correctly - I have Fridays off this semester and you're jealous. I'm a lucky girl. In some respects that is. In others .... well I will be forced to read aloud and translate Chaucer for my Middle English seminar and have already butchered Sir Olfeo in class today. Flashbacks to Latin - cue constant public academic humiliation. Anyway .... guess who is not such a lucky girl? My fellow blogette; her Mac is acting up. I thought Macs were supposed to be wonder magic machines ... guess I thought wrong - thus proving the dangers of independent thought. This sitch with the computer is definitely testing the ability for long distance communication though - thank god for blackberries! .... this all reminds me on my new favourite dancy-poprockelectro song:

Love Long Distance - Gossip (Lurrrrrvvv Ditto's voice)

Related Note: So, while I'm a little surprised that the aforementioned Mac is unreliable I am no fan of them in general. I basically hate macs because when I was in elementary and middle school those fugly coloured mac desktops came out and the school bored (nonsexual freudian slip?!) was like "hey rad - colours - let's buy all new computers, but only in pink and orange." I've never had a Mac at home and I'm sure neither did many of my peers, so WHY the school board insisted on exclusively buying Macs is beyond me. Besides that, they were (and continue to be for me at least) counter intuitive to use and my computer lab classes often ended in confusion and frustration along with some healthy mac hate. And now that I'm in university where pretty much every student owns a laptop, my hatred has grown to encompass the holier-than-thou mac owners ... stfu girl with hot pink mac. I'll readily admit that I am no lover of PCs either, thou. I regularly curse out my Toshiba laptop - It deserves it. But something about the pretentiousness surround Macs and their user irks me.

Less Personal Related Note: while I was looking for a cute picture to put with my post (in the hopes of having the same effect as Bedazzling does to tired old denim) I stumbled upon this random superniched (yeah, I created a word - what) website for lawyers who use macs ... yeah ...pretentiousssssss. Anyway a guest lawyer, moonlighting (very poorly I might add) as a blogger took a sip of haterade then posted about some Microsoft commercials. Alls I can say is he's not doing much for my confidence in his lawyering skills if this is his argument style .... Also probably good he's not in advertising ... I'm pretty sure Mac wouldn't be down with emphasizing the cost margin between your average PC and their fancypants Macbook.

Kings Town, Back Again

Currently in Kingston, chillin' at my apartment ... well the "in Kingston ... at my apartment" part is true at least. You see, I got up here yesterday afternoon and the wireless wasn't working. I tried plugging in my N64 (ghetttoooooo) and it was only black and white. Things were just not going my way. I had to walk to campus to use one of the solar powered computers at Stauff (ghettooooooox2) and then nothing was open because it's Sunday. argh. I did however finally book a hair appointment - haven't cut my hair since I posted about it months ago, and picked up shampoo - how'd I forget that?! Luckily Dorcas dropped by to unload a bunch of her things before heading back Toronto and set everything straight - internet is clearly working now, and N64 is technicolour!! Now I just need to get 'round to unpacking all my ridiculousness and cleaning - oh TOMORROW!

What I'm Listening to:

Frontier City (a Bside) - Kings of Leon

Well I've converted another to the wonder of KOL - I haven't felt the way I feel about KOL since I first started listening to the Strokes oh so many years ago and I'm glad my fellow Strokes enthusiast has hopped on the musical bandwagon!
