Embracing Monday


How the heck do puppies lead to existentialism??!

An mental crisis following the death of my grandfather coupled with a raging fever caused by too many walks with a certain impatient pug currently keeps me far too inside of my apartment has led to a self indulgent "quest for knowledge" that I assume will be resolved in a Wikipedia article or two. It's tricky to attempt to think outside of the box when there are so many boxes out there to potentially think in. Skepticism aside, taking the time to actually read about the conclusions that have made up the assumptions I make today has at the very least been interesting. When sharing my newfound critical anti esssentialist rheotoric of the absurd or whatever sounds smart with Luke, he told me that the Sobey's logo has the word "obey" in it.

Ouff. & then I go back to cat photos....

There are no abortion services in Prince Edward Island! What? WHAT? Get on it, Internet! I know you can help Kandace do this! I know that abortion is a touchy subject for some of you, but allow me to plea to your reason. What if you were told you could build a home but no one would sell you land? What if you were told you lived in a country where everyone ate and you were constantly denied access to food? Extreme examples illustrate how unethical it is to say one thing and then prevent it. I know we are all fighting for equality together, and sometimes that has to happen in a variety of ways.

PS: It doesn't have to turn into this!



I've been in the news lately because I don't have a car. Isn't that great? 

'A town where green thumbs, not sticky fingers, prevails' because that's such a great tagline. 

Of course, the day after the Super Bowl I am reading about beer. Ughhhhhh.

I've never shopped at Mark's Work Warehouse before, but after this reaction to their treatment of Canadian workers, everyone I know will be getting warm socks & plaid shirts next Christmas.

I will do all of these. All. You will mock me, but I will. Especially the Canadian flag one.  

@jjsteeves is relevant to everyone's lives.

Really craving gofer cakes right now for some reason... 

A freed black man writes a letter to his former master, and I cry a lot a lot a lot. 


"Why have a civilization if we're no longer interested in being civilized?!" Yep, this looks like the best movie about killing people who are really annoying with upbeat music in the background ever.

& finally, my favourite Wanderlust inspiring hobby since my life has consisted of bed 24/7 for the past 3 days...

Another great post! Hope you feel better soon, dear.

My sister lives in Halifax while she goes to school and I've been wondering how she gets around due to the transit strike. We had one here a couple years ago and getting to university was a pain! Bumming rides off friends and family... urgh.

I want you to know that I SHRIEKED, "PUUUUUUUG!" John looked at me like I was a demented asshole, and then he saw the ice skating photo and actually squealed. So really, thank you for that.

that twilight post is hilarious. The Cormac McCarthy rendition is gruesome but it made me laugh.

Feel better soon.

I love these posts. :) It's so cool that you were on the news! Although that strike sounds... troublesome. I like your carpooling twitter idea though, I hope it all works out!
And I will never look at the Sobeys logo the same again...

That letter was amazing to read, I have to say.

Also, I am OBSESSED with that article about if great writers had written Twilight - amazing.
