Dogs are not babies.

In the past 24 hours I've seen a woman pushing her dog in a stroller and another woman with her dog in a sling across her chest.

For the last time, dogs are not children.

21 and I couldn't outdance this Great Grandma.

Okay, this woman is 92 and she's dancing with her 29 year old great-grandson.

It's long, but watch it to the end - especially starting at 1:30.

INSANE.

W.T.F is our world coming to?


Twilight-themed heroin bags seized with pictures of Robert Pattinson on them.


ROBERT Pattinson and his Twilight co-stars have become embroiled in a drug scandal involving bags of Twilight-themed heroin being seized with pictures of the cast on them.

"drugs with cartoon pictures of Twilight characters on them were seized recently in West Hempstead, Long Island in New York.

The Twilight-themed drug bags have been gaining popularity over the last couple of months, seen as a cynical attempt on the part of drug dealers to cash in on the mass hysteria surrounding the films, and their popularity with a young teenage market."



Oh man.

we all need to go to the LIFE store. like now.

Peace and Love and All that Twilight Heroin.

Before I write another pointless post....

I just wanna give a shout out to my blog partner C.
She's rad.
But I've buried her brilliance in my ramblings.
I hope she'll start posting more often!
Ahem, C....ahem.

Flare

.
I think every student at McGill is forced to wear at least one piece of McGill flare. I am surrounded by a sea of McGill insignia-ed bookbags, notebooks, sweatshirts, pens, water bottles, hats, coffee mugs and stickers.
Man, these fools got spirit.

I don't know why...

...but this really scares me.

Movember is the Antichrist to...

Ode to Dumplings.

Oh sweet packets of delicious goodness.
Your perfect fillings suspended in a cocoon of warm broth.
I bite.
Slurp.
And fill you up with spice, sour and salt
then eat my creation with satisfying delight.
Each treat, each bite, each iteration more succulent than the last.
I ate 18 of you.
And now,
I'm spent.

S.

Tranny wins Miss Brazil.

Non-tranny isn't happy. 



Skip to 1:18 

48 Hours clean...

No Facebook. 

For 48 hours. 

How long can I last....?

Feels pretty good actually. 

Finding new procrastination tools though. 

Tumblr. Stumble upon. Twitter. 

Went through all of Katy Perry's twitpics. Ughhh...


Follow the sun, don't follow me,

I'm in...

I got an invite to Google Wave

Now what?

Drinking a milkshake...

It was worth it.

The Swine Excuse

It's getting old. 

Apparently, every fuck-up large or small can now be solved with the simple, "It's the H1N1."

Failed attempts at using this excuse:

Teacher:  
"Sorry I haven't marked your papers, and that my lectures suck, I had the H1N1."

Student:  
"My dog H1N1-ed on my homework."

Friend: 
"Gotta cancel our plans 15 min before because I just got the H1N1."

Fox News: 
"We can't be Fair and Balanced! We got the H1N1."

Lover:  
"Condoms irritate my H1N1."

Student:  
"I can't write a bibliography in MLA format when I have the H1N1."

Speaking of the love making, my favourite advice on how to protect yourself from your BF's H1N1 courtesy of Cosmo magazine:

"Instead of doing missionary, switch to reverse cow girl - that way you won't breathe on each other and spread the H1N1."

Uhhhhh.....aren't you exchanging bodily fluids? 

Other H1N1 advise from The Swine-Flu Club:
Do not alter your typical daily regimen: Sleep in, skip class, lounge around the dorm, and drink (lots of fluids).

Marijuana does not qualify as an "herbal remedy."

Getting an "I Survived Swine '09" tattoo is strongly discouraged.

Follow the Swine,
S

I'll see you at the Lion

...a phrase that I'll be saying as often as possible.

Hit up the Burgundy Lion with the girls last night.
A 5 hour sesh of free shots, home brewed ale and my new fav, Hot Toddy's ensued.
For those non-Anglophiles, a Hot Toddy is a delicious hot brew of Scotch, mulled cider, cinnamon and orange slices. Clearly a dangerous combination.

The Lion is an interesting place. Half English pub, half singles bar, and FULL hipster hot spot.
I believe 60% of the boys wore the Clark Kent, Wayfarer nerd glasses and the other 40% matched their girlfriends in oh-so-rad-plaid.
Not to mention the plague of Movember-ites, who's achievements ranged from bush to pube-stache.

Our waiter, a charming fellow named John, was easy on the eyes but I think his brain was so focused on pushing out facial hair that it couldn't carry out it's waiterial duties.

The illusive English Poutine of handcut "chips" and strong blue cheese with a beefy gravy, alas, never came.
Those Hot Toddy's? 40 minutes late.

What did ensure, was a Braised Pork Shoulder on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes with hints of caramelized onions and parsnips, with gravy all over.

A quick 420 break later, our table was littered with delicious treats.
Treacle tart (warm fresh-out-the-oven sugar pie), a Bread and Butter Chocolate Bread Pudding guaranteed to produce diabetes and my personal fav, STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING.

UMMM....YES PLEASE!

The night ended buzzed and satisfied, watching 12 cop cars screech around the corner to Al Taib, my local Kebab and Pizza shop, and bust up in there like they owned the place.
All I know is that you shouldn't mess with someone's Ed Hardy or you're gonna get a hurt on real bad.

Follow the MF sun,
S

PS. Cop who turned on his siren lights just to turn right on a red light (something dumbass Frenchland doesn't allow).....I'M ON TO YOU.

PPS. Should I get off my ass and make a chocolate milkshake? Max, you sold me. I think so.

PPPS. I am SO getting this next time...

My face being in public places and how this makes me feel philosophical


So today I was having lunch with my good friend Ron at Anton and James on Stanley.

Mid salad I look up at the sandwich bar to where I see ALL 5 of the sandwich men eyeing me and smiling. Then I see all the OTHER workers looking at me as well. Wow, I must be very attractive today! Obviously, as I would discover, this is a delusional thought. As I am on the way to find the bathroom one of the "would you like mayo on that?" men comes up to me and says "Isn't it your face in our washroom?"My stomach flops. Yes. Yes. It is.

Should I be freaked out that my face smiles at my friends and strangers as they expose themselves and urinate?
I mean I get to "see" people when they are in they are in there most vulnerable position.
Ive had numerous friends tell me they can't even go when my face is there. I have aquired quite the superpower. I can force people to hold their bladders. That's pretty fantastic. Sigh.
It's also pretty fantastic because it gives me the power of surprise, I get to say hello to my friends even when I am not there. A friendly reminder that I am thinking of you....as you pee?


Who knows.
I do.
I know that I do?
Who knows if I know that I do?
Well what is cannot BE.





Peace and Love and All that Jazz.





C.

This is what we do.

In case you didn't know, S + C are both majoring in Intermedia.

According to the brilliant Matt Soar (aka my former Intermedia teacher),
INTERMEDIA is...a term most often attributed to Fluxus artist Dick Higgins, ‘Intermedia’ refers to creative works that lie formally and conceptually between established media.
INTERMEDIA is... the exploration of media and creative practices that embrace the analog and the digital; the residual and the emergent.
INTERMEDIA is...graphic design and typography, illustration, rotoscoping, stop-motion animation, interactive narrative, database documentary, motion graphics, and web design.

We will continue to update you on our projects, but here are some of our recent work.

I HATE TECTONIC

So there are a shit load of Frenchies in this here city and as much as I love your sexy accents, your delicious croissants and having legit Duty Free Marlboros....you can't dance.

Note to people taking up my dance space:
MOVING YOUR ARMS AROUND IN REPEATING PATTERNS DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU TO DANCE ON A STAGE, SPEAKER or ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER.

You think you're so good. Well guess what? It's so easy, this 4 year old does it BETTER!

Aaden Gosselin

So we're a little obsessed with Aaden Gosselin aka the runt child of Jon and Kate (the biggest fuck-up parents in the mid-West).

Here is a little tribute to the least cute Gosselin who will definitely grow up to be the genius who ends the spread of CHILDREN.



This is Mommy "god I wish I was on the pill" Kate.
She's all party in the front, soccer mom in the back:


This is Daddy "shoulda worn condoms" John. He decided it would be a good idea to make a funny video about his life whilst in the middle of a MESSY DIVORCE that is RUINING HIS CHILDREN'S LIVES.



This is Hailey Glassman
- aka the dirty slut who ruined the Gosselin empire and won't STFU about it. TLC has a hit out on her.


Here is a recent convo S & C had about the Gosselin phenomenon:
1:07am - 1:20am

My Tube

I'm a YouTube fanatic. Always have been, always will.
I think it is the most important phenomenon of our lifetime.
I can watch some kid in Germany freak out at his World of Warcraft game. I can participate in a social experiment that tests my Awareness. I can learn the importance of CONDOMS.
But most importantly, I can share all these wonders with all of YOU.

So here we go. The much sought after:

S LIST

I say sought after, since certain OTHER bloggers have been known to steal my YouTube gems and write them off as their own finds. HA! No one beats S at a YouTube war!

Starting with my more recent faves:








The Best Series goes to....

PETER CHAO



KUTIMAN who takes completely unrelated YouTube videos from all over the World and compiles them into beautiful songs.



CLASSICS that will never get old:
