happy birthday Nikola Tesla
- by admin
did you know that he was a badass mofo? because he was, before he went all nuts and thought a female pigeon was in love with him.
but nevermind that because he was super cool the whole rest of his life and we're all allowed to go crazy once and a while, right?
I've been a bit obsessed with nikola tesla for a long time and would totally love to go into why in this post but I don't think most of you want to listen to me get a wide-on for a dead scientist so instead let's watch this video that adequately sums up tesla's story and is also hilarious.
I'll just be trolling pictures of him on the internet. no biggie.
I'm only giving you five minutes, blog

because the minute I stopped moving I felt like lying down and I can't blog while lying on the couch rewatching episodes of sherlock because that benedict cumberbatch is just too damned amazing and distracting for me to actually focus on typing.plus my feet still hurt from folk fest and I'd like to put 'em up asap or perhaps have them rubbed. what's a girl got to do around here to get someone to rub her feet?
wait, don't answer that.
there were lots of peeps walking around the fest with bandaged-up feet because, I assume, they were hoofing it around barefoot and stepped on something sharp which makes my toes curl in a bad way just thinking about it.
I get that folk fest is hippie central but it's still camping and shit still gets all busted and nothing would suck more than having to hang out at first aid instead of around a campfire with your friends.
which is why I crammed my feet into shoes all weekend even though I wanted to frolic barefoot though the dew and the grass, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to weasel a certain someone who just got home into rubbing 'em for me if they were all bandaged up.
sometimes even I think ahead.
Hip Hop Sunday (Post Folk Fest Edition) - K'Naan - Bang Bang

after an intense three days of
volunteering
sun
sweat (lots of it)
dust
minimal hours of sleep at a time
sore, disgusting feet
grit under my nails
safety patrol
amazing free food
new friends
hugs
exhaustion
and smiles
we're home from Folk Fest
and this is the best act we saw all weekend, first thing on Thursday night after we arrived
so all over the place
some songs were soulful & sweet and moved you
some were catchy & fun
and everyone else that was there with us felt the same way as a result:
amazing.
I'll be at Folk Fest in t-minus two hours(ish)

I'm still recovering from the shitshow that was red lake falls last weekend
my nose is still burnt
as are my tits
legs
back
basically all of me
and I'm volunteering which means trucking around in the sun for 7hrs
all on top of camping
singing
dancing
eating amazing free folk fest food
drinking
more singing
and maybe sleeping somewhere in there
it's gonna be a whirlwind weekend
but don't forget
even though I'm not always around
I love you.
see you kids on Sunday!
know how I know this isn't my kind of party?

there are trashy looking girls dancing in a circle around their purses.
I bet you they were listening to skrillex when this photo was taken.
what is the world coming to.
Once upon a time I was 19
- by admin
I was living in another province and I was miserable
but didn't realize it at the time.
at the time it seemed like a big adventure, moving away and living with my boyfriend
getting the fuck outta dodge
I had lighter hair and bigger boobs and a shittier attitude
because I was only 19 afterall
and what the heck did I know about life, anyway?
the answer is, apparently nothing at all
good to know some things never change.
Things I learned about America
- by admin
the guys at Happy Harry's will carry your liquor to the car for you
some people think it's okay to put anti gay-marriage signs on their front lawns (which really upset me, wtf guys, that is NOT OKAY)
for breakfast they eat biscuits and gravy, except the gravy is actually white sauce with sausage in it
Target is insane
americans camping around a bunch of canadians down for the long weekend will put tiny american flags around their campsite in case there was any confusion as to whether or not they were american
they don't like it when canadian girls take their tits out while tubing
Minnesota doesn't sell alcohol on sundays. AT ALL.
downtown Grand Forks is super cute
there are anti-abortion signs along major highways
they're very sensitive about canadian universal health care
people running campgrounds really like when it's Canada day long weekend and a bunch of rowdy, friendly canadians all come to party
the town of red lake falls reminds me a lot of small towns in ontario
americans love american flags, colours, stars and stripes to the point of excess
and
it's definitely not canada.
