Just Because

Spider Solitaire is the devil! But I love it.

Interview Time

I interviewed for my graduate program. The time had finally come. It was sort of like pulling off a band aide. It stung at first but now it feels better. I did give myself a mad case of laryngitis from getting so nervous. I am just glad it set in 2 hours after the interviews ended.

Now I just have to wait until the letter comes in the mail. Every time I think about it my stomach flops like I am riding a rollercoaster.

Wish me luck lovelies!

How do you like your coffee?

I like mine black or with one splenda.
My Mom likes hers black with two sugars.
Tam likes hers with milk and one sugar.
Megs prefers a latte to coffee.
My grandpa likes his black, black, black.
My grandma likes hers no cream three sugars.
How do you like your coffee?

I just can’t get enough!


Wolf Parade.
Apologies to the Queen is without a doubt one of my top twenty favorites of all time. I am pretty positive my feelings for this album are not fleeting.
This album is indie-licious.
They are Canadian, as are a lot of other great bands, The Coast, Neko Case, Fiest, The Broken Social Scene, The New Porographers just to name a few.
Thank goodiness for Canadian Musicians, I heart you guys and gals.

Ode to Tissue with Aloe

Oh how my nose hath run
From this terible bought of nasal infection
Tissue with aloe you care
You sweep up
Clean up
Soak up
And I am sure are there for the occasional choke up
Thank you tissue with aloe
You insure I am not chapped
You fill nose with glee
You make it happy to touch, feel and see
If you did not have aloe I would be
Red and Chapped
Wishing I could pull my cap
Over my Rudolph red schnozzle

New Accent, RAD!

I read an article about this boy who survived a bought of spinal meningitis. Because of the meningitis he did have to go through brain. Once he woke from surgery he had a brand new accent. Now I think this is totally awesome. I feel bad that the kid had to become severely ill, but I think he was rewarded with something really bad ass, a poshy new British accent.

The article went on to discuss how this is not an isolated case, rather this happens, rarely, but none the less it happens. This phenomenon is called” Foreign Accent Syndrome” clever name, huh? This syndrome affects persons whom have had major brain trauma to the speech (Broca’s area) and facial movement areas of the brain. Strokes also induce this syndrome.

This article relaxes me in the sense that if I were to ever stroke out or have some type of traumatic brain injury and survive, I just might get lucky enough to recover my German and be freakishly awesome with some mad bilingual skillz.

Oh, Strange One

Readers this is strange. I identify my favorite color as green. I heart green. It is very aesthetically pleasing to my ocular system. However, I do not own very many green shirts, pants nor skirts. I also never pick out items that are green as my first choice. How very bizarre
