Edpool
The highway scene in Deadpool overdubbed with sound effects from Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy? FANTASTIC.
Ed makes a great Deadpool, honestly. And this made me realize just how sound effect-heavy EE&E was. Such a good cartoon.
BASEBALL BASEBALL BASEBALL
Holy freaking crap apples, I’d forgotten how much I missed watching baseball. The season started yesterday and so Nate and I watched the Mets game last night (they won, yay!) and are spending today watching a few of the other games from yesterday/today.
(Because Good Friday is a “you get the day off from work” holiday up here, which is weird to me.)
So despite the fact that it’s super cold and windy outside right now and it feels more like early February than ALMOST FREAKING APRIL, spring has now officially begun because baseball has started up again.
Yay.
WOO!
So this week has sucked royal nuts for various reasons. But today I got an email from Jim saying that STAT 213 in the spring was suddenly available and that it could be mine if I wanted it.
And I had to very calmly reply “yes plz give” without actually being like “YES PLZ GIVE!”
So yeah. I get two classes this spring: STAT 213 and STAT 217. I’ll hopefully be getting STAT 217 in the summer, too.
(And, you know, more classes in later semesters as well.)
Oh, HowToBasic
This is his best video yet. I haven’t laughed this hard in a while.
As someone who is allergic to pineapple, this is relatable.
Just skip this one
It’s cold outside and I hate myself and I hate my life so have a survey because I also don’t care about this dumb blog anymore either.
What’s the coolest item you’ve found at a garage sale, flea market, etc.?
I’ve found quite a few snazzy clothes at garage sales, but I can’t think of anything specific right now.
Describe how your day went yesterday.
Terribly. Just like every other day. Go away.
Do you have issues with people entering your personal space? What do you do when your personal space is violated?
I don’t have too much of a personal space, believe it or not, if I’m just at my desk or standing around or whatever. But if I’m walking down the sidewalk and you’re within like 30 feet of me behind me? Fuck off. I don’t like being followed when I’m walking.
What is the one meal recipe you think you’ve mastered?
My penne pasta/broccoli thing. It’s practically the only thing I ever cook.
If you could take back something you did to someone, what would it be?
I would have not overreacted so much to breaking with Matt. Sorry, friend. It was my first relationship and I had yet to be emotionally calibrated by a breakup.
Would you describe yourself as spiritual, religious, or something else?
Neither. I am not religious at all and I don’t really know what people ever really mean when they say they’re “spiritual,” so yeah.
Did you ever receive detention in school? What sort of kid were you in school – bookworm, smart kid, troublemaker, quiet … etc.
I got detention once. 8th grade math. We were doing stuff with perfect squares and I wouldn’t stop making stupid jokes about it (e.g., “why aren’t there perfect rectangles, durrrrrrr”) so my teacher gave me 15 minutes of detention. Other than that I was pretty quiet.
When’s the last time you ran a mile? How often do you exercise?
I ran back in January for the first time since busting up my leg (only for like two miles ‘cause I didn’t want to hurt it), but haven’t run since because shortly after I got back to Calgary I tweaked the leg again and I’m kinda terrified to push it beyond what I normally do.
But I exercise by walking 15 miles a day six (usually) days a week.
Because, you know, that’s not pushing my leg at all.
What would you say to your 16-year-old self, and why?
“End it now.”
What are you avoiding?
Everything.
Describe a “Hah! I told you so” moment you had recently.
Every damn day looking at the U.S. Government. Which is why I have backed far off news reports except in the very broadest sense.
What’s more important, where you live or what you do for a living? Why?
What you do for a living. I suspect that if you’re happy enough in your job, you can tolerate pretty much any location. Not true for the reverse.
Swear words: Are you pro or con? Why
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YES
Paper or plastic? Do you prefer to pack your own groceries?
I either huck everything into my backpack bagless or get plastic, mainly because we use the plastic bags as trash bags in our little bathroom, bedroom, and Jazzy litter box trashcans.
Do you have a shoe fetish? How often do you buy new shoes? Do you ever get rid of a pair of shoes?
I don’t have a shoe fetish. But I buy new walking shoes a lot because I burn through them very quickly. I can usually get them to last about 600-700 miles, which takes me about a month and a half or so. I also have issues getting rid of my old walking shoes. That seems so insulting to them. So I have a giant pile-up of them in my closet.
News Flash Part II:
I also have a lot of eyeshadow.
Some of them I’ve had since high school, which is kind of scary. And before anyone says it, yes, I know that like the maximum “safe to use” time on makeup is like 24 months depending on the type of makeup but my eyelids have yet to fall off from old makeup, so fight me.
Some of my favorites:
NYX – “Mermaid”
Covergirl – “Lime Alive”
Prestige (I don’t know the color name; this one is from JUNIOR HIGH and the back info is all worn off. This is the perfect orange, though)
Wet n’ Wild – the “Poster Child” palette
Wet n’ Wild – the “Not a Basic Peach” palette
Emori
NYX – “Ultimate Brights” palette (all of these are fantastic)
e.l.f – “Moss,” “Solar”, “Heat,” and “Candy”
News Flash:
I have a lot of earrings. I’ve been slowly amassing them ever since I got my ears pierced and now we have this madness.
Some of my favorites (plus a few I’ve acquired in the interim between when this blog was written and when it was actually posted, haha):
Tee to the Hee
This review is hysterical.
I need these headphones.
(Mom, do not buy these for me!)
F THE UNIVERSE
I just deleted all of this year’s walking miles, because fuck everything.
CARBO
I’d love to see someone who knows nothing about Aqua Teen Hunger Force watch this scene and try to figure out what in the actual living fuck the show is about.
Hell, I’d like to see someone who is very familiar with Aqua Teen Hunger Force watch this scene and try to figure out what in the actual living fuck the show is about.
Master Shake reminds me of my friend Zack from high school for some reason.
Also, I used to watch this show a lot during my first year of college. This and Futurama.
…then Metalocalypse.

Yes. Not having them. Not ever. Not changing my mind.
HOLES
I keep forgetting to mention this on here, so I’ll use today’s blog for it because why the hell not.
That industrial piercing I have in my right ear? It’s gone now.
I used to never take the industrial bar out, but it gets so ridiculously cold up here that I got paranoid about the bar freezing my ear during my walks, so I’d been taking it out for decently long stretches of time. I had it out for less than 48 hours a while back and when I tried to put it back in, the lower hole was completely healed over. Completely. Like, you can’t even tell there was ever a hole there.
I could still jam the bar through the hole in my upper ear cartilage, but just barely. I suspect that it’s completely healed over as well.
I had that piercing for TEN YEARS. I take it out for less than two days and my dumbass body heals everything over.
Fantastic.
Community: My Anti-Depressant
So the past week and a half has been a shit show.
But then I saw that someone had uploaded all of the Community end credit scenes from seasons 1 – 3 and that helped make things a lot better.
Psst:
I suck. Pass it on.
Nabokov would be pleased
I am in a CRAP MOOD because it’s been a CRAP SEMESTER but here are BUTTERFLIES, so that helps.
Crappy Day.
Things that make me feel better:
- My wonderful husband
- My soft kitty
- Knowing that I’ll get to see my mom in a little more than a month
- Walking
- Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Knowing that there might be a lull in the chaos for a few days
The end.
THE AVALANCHE
I’ve seen my fair share of movies in my life.
But this damn avalanche scene from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is still one of my favorite movie moments.
Couldn’t tell you why, but I’ve always loved the avalanche. Ask my mom.
Anyway.
How To Get Over a Leg Injury: Claudia Mahler Style
Step 1: Give injured leg two days of rest.
Step 2: Continue to walk 15 miles a day on injured leg, ignoring pain that is actually quite severe.
Step 3: Shun doctors.
Step 4: Shun the pain. Walk through it.
Step 5: Occasionally push it too far and re-injure it a little bit.
Step 6: Repeat steps 2 through 5.
Step 7: It gets better (mostly?) eventually, so be proud of your completely irresponsible healing technique.
Want to move to Van? Watch this.
Accurate.
I still miss it there every once and a while, though. My time at UBC was hell on earth, but the city was cool when it wasn’t trying to drown you in rain.
CC
Remember that bomb blast simulation I mentioned a few days ago? They have an interactive “how will climate change affect you?” map as well.
Scary stuff.
A Blight at the End of the Tunnel
Me: I am sad.
Me: *buys three DLC packs for Euro Truck Simulator 2*
Me: I’m still sad, but at least now I have cool trucks.
