#secrethandshakeXmas

- by admin

is where I've been all night

if you didn't know #secrethandshake is a monthly meeting of Winnipeg creative-types that I occasionally attend, though this time was mandatory because Leanne who hosts the bash and Stef needed me to be there to partake in the awesome.

honestly, it was great. besides the free build your own poutine station (with delicious vegan 'cheese') and lovely company I was told by a plethora of people that I'm "kind of a big deal" and I'm "big on The Internet", which is always nice.

in particular meeting Jay who was delighted to meet me IRL since apparently everyone on his twitter feed RT's me was a positive moment.

but enough about how good I am at The Internet, let's see some (tipsy) bathroom photos of The Ladies:



lovely ladies Leanne and Stef themselves



do the creep



wow. time for bed.
 

you know what?

I'm getting sick of people saying that "twitter is stupid" or "blogging is stupid" or whatever social media channel du jour they feel like ragging on that particular day because it's omg not FaceBook.

listen, if you get scared trying out anything that isn't 'margarine-on-white-bread' FaceBook that's totally fine, but don't hate on other social media platforms just because you aren't any good at using them. and honestly, that's what the issue is. like Scumbag Steve here, you just don't know what you're doing:



it's not that "blogs suck", or "twitter sucks", it's that you're not interesting enough and creative enough to push funny, relevant and original content through multiple channels at any given time and have to stick to your tightly-controlled FaceBook account to make your stupid little comments.

FaceBook is a safe little niche of "friends" and "not friends" who you can regulate to be able to see or not-see, comment or not-comment, and so on whereas open platforms like Tumblr, Twitter, and blogging (to name a few) put your words out there for the whole Internet to see, judge, and respond to. and you know what?

If you want to stick to the bunny slope of social media (aka FaceBook) that's totally okay, but don't go around shooting your mouth off about how other social media platforms 'suck' because, you know what, it's not the platform that sucks, it's you.


 

Dear lady

your paper isn't here

I told you that when you came in

when you asked if I had it, and I said I didn't

when you asked if someone had taken it, and I said nobody had

and no matter how many times you call and ask

"is it there yet?"

"is it there NOW?"

and inform me that "it's usually at the front desk"

that doesn't mean it is.

(not) sorry.
 

we are watching The Cosmos

which is our annual pre-Christmas tradition and Carl Sagan is talking about Dutch scientists using microscopes and looking at sperm and Tyrone just got all stoked about it and started pretending to be a Dutch scientist and this is what he said:

pfft of course that's what they looked at!
that's the first thing I'd do
just be like dude, dude, dude, check this out

and did a jerking off motion into the air.

men never change.


 

I have a great boyfriend

I know it's not nice to brag, so I won't

I'll just say that now that I know what I sound like (and I do)

I really need to start being nicer to him :\


 

Hip Hop Sunday # 25 - Erik Weiner - Boardwalk Empire State of Mind

- by admin



okay so it's not legit "hip hop" but honestly hip hop the the lulz is just as good as serious hip hop sopmetimes

(all the time)

I've been pretty obsessed with Boardwalk Empire lately anyway and this just makes it better.

Happy Hip Hop Sunday, I've got shit to do!

 

yoga right away

- by admin

stayed up super late and I dragged us out of bed before noon because otherwise we wouldn't have gotten anything productive done today; Tyrone needed a haircut (badly) and we had stuff to do before yoga ie: I needed a new dress and our couch needed a SERIOUS slipcover. we're having a christmas party next weekend and it was either paint the living room or buy a new slipcover and slipcover won out because 1. the old one was hideous and I tried bleaching it this week and it made the wine stains more prominent (great), and 2. because it's less effort than painting a whole room a day. but the painting is still happening, oh yes.

I bought too much stuff at F21 as per usual and by that I mean I bought a new outfit. I kind of play a game with myself while Tyrone is off doing something else: how much stuff can I try on/persuade myself to buy before he's done and comes and gives me a hard time about it?

anyway that outfit will make an appearance over some holiday party and I'm so excited to wear it. do any other ladies out there ever get all hyped-up over their new clothes and feel the need to wear them IMMEDIATELY?

Tyrone just told me he's jealous of his own hair.

I think that means it's time to leave.

this is for you:




 

cold as a witches tit out there

- by admin

this has made the rounds over FB and Twitter already but whatever it's going here too, just so I can come back and remember how awesome this is use it as a model when I make it into a costume for Connect this summer.

because I live in Winterpeg and eventually it had to go from being mild and lovely to bitterly cold I decided to do what was necessary and don on my (fleece-lined! yes!) leggings and Adventure Boots to brave the cold. Why? Because fuck the cold, that's why.



anyway once my superhero outfit became known to the likes of @wilalambre he turned it into some idiot from Winnipeg posing before going to work to this MASTERPIECE:



oh yes. enjoy.

lunchtime is over but I'm having a solo evening at home because someone has a show to go do visuals at and I'm just too tired not cool enough to go to a club show this weekend.

you haven't heard the last of me.


 

what happened to you, America?

- by admin



how did you let people like this have a hand in running your country?

if Rick Perry replaced

"gays in the military"
with
"Blacks in the military"
or
"Jews in the military"

people would cry bloody murder
and not let him get away with it

but

somehow

here we are

when someone who is
(apparently)
a serious contender for the presidency of the United States

is spewing hate speech that normally would get you

expelled from school
beaten up
ostracized
fired
even killed

as part of his campaign?

I repeat:

what the hell happened to you, America?
