So, we live in the riding that elected Elizabeth May* in the last federal election, and now we’ve elected Andrew Weaver, another Green Party person.
We’re gonna get a reputation.
*Who is the first Green MP and also a really cool lady whose office helped us get J’s goddamn birth certificate changed

More fun with Elections BC!
On the online registration FAQ page, you can find a question as follows:
I live on a boat. How do I provide my information to Elections BC?
This is something they apparently get asked. Frequently. This is apparently a BIG PROBLEM for BC residents. Living on boats. Getting confused. It’s a hard life on the frontier.
Also, if an employer impedes their employees from having time to vote,...

There's a provincial election soon
Is it bad that I judge candidates with a poorly set up or broken website?
Like, for srs, if you can’t fucking manage some basic html or find someone who can, I don’t think you’ve got any business trying to represent me, thanks.
Also, oh my fucking god, I don’t want your life story. What is your platform? What do you actually care about and intend to do for this community?...

So, last night, I wrote my Archaeology final, and we had to prepare a mock research proposal (but actually write it in the exam) regarding a hypothetical tribe’s traditional area (called the “Toofortii,” {the class number is 240} because my teacher is a dork)
and
I now know way more about ochre and its uses in traditional society than I ever wanted to know.
But I also learned...

Important lyfe decisions:
I have an appointment in two hours for a doctor to look at my fucked-up wrist and also my rashy underboob (which may in fact be one of the least sexy things I have ever said in my life)
but I have cramps
so do I take an anti-inflammatory to deal with the cramps that may make my other problems seem less severe, or do I sit here in hideous pain for the next two hours…?
Having a uterus is...

Dear Lamotrigine makers,
I understand that you have to make pills look distinctive so people don’t mix them up and all, but that doesn’t give you license to make any shape you want. I have to swallow these motherfuckers three times a day, you sons of bitches. Guess what’s not fun to swallow? A flat, angular dry thing!
And you might say, “Oh, you’re not swallowing...

I like to think that all anti-Gay Marriage folks think that if it becomes legal that God will just stop rotating the earth and be all ‘WHAT. I SAID NO.’
And then we will all tumble into the endless void of space.

This is almost a more sensible reason than some of the ones they give.
One asshole on CBC’s reason was that if gay...

The one fun thing about sleep deprivation: I think of…special things.
Like how I really want someone, somewhere to do karaoke while cosplaying as Dr. Tenenbaum from Bioshock, singing Billy Idol’s White Wedding. This is a thing I need to exist.

It is now 4:50. I give the fuck up.
It would be less annoying if I didn’t have anything to do tomorrow. But I do. I have a bunch of tidying to get done here, and then I am off to have a nice anniversary weekend with my husband, during which I was kind of hoping to be full of wonderful loving feelings, and not sleep-deprived and infuriated.
Only one more night after this, and then I’m...

The dog normally sleeps in the bedroom, which is mostly fine except when she farts. But tonight, she just would not fucking settle down, and eventually, I shut her out of the room. Did she hang around for a bit, but then get the message and fuck off? Nope!

Dear Japan,
I think I have just hit upon a brilliant new slogan for your tourism industry:
Japan: actually just fucking covered in ghosts and shit.
I think it will be very successful!

Dear Idiot Game Reviewer Guy,
You seem to misunderstand what critiquing a genre from within means. The point is to use the structures and conventions of the genre to highlight problematic areas. It is not that fucking hard.

Wow. I am never taking Cipralex again.
It doesn’t really seem to do me much good, and the first time I went off it, baaaaaad things happened. (I went off of it cold turkey, which I know is a spectacularly bad idea, but I wasn’t making very good decisions at the time, on account of MY ANTIDEPRESSANT WASN’T HELPING.)
This time, I slowly tapered off of it over the course of A...

Whoops, apparently it IS too late to apply. Which is not what the woman J talked to at the Student Loans office said. Why, hello, emotional roller coaster. How you doin’?
Sometimes, I feel bad about the fact that we’ve been pretty much constantly in debt/low on money for the past like two years, and then I remember that more often than not, we’ve been living off of one person’s student...
