Hey guys.

I never post anymore (or comment, and I'm sorry), so this is a public invitation to de-friend me if you so please. I won't be hurt, I just want to clean a few things out, and I don't really feel like making people read about my uneventful life.

Also, happy summer. Pull out the lemonade and freezies.

Edit: I'm still posting, though! Just in case you misunderstood.

People I respect, heroes of mine, would be... Bob Hope, Abraham Lincoln, definitely. Bono. And probably... God would be the fourth one.

And I just think all those people really helped the world in so many ways that it's really beyond words.

It's really incalclacable.

-Michael Scott, The Office

Brilliance.

I work at a regional social housing office, where I enter applications into the computer and write letters for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, all summer. And I'm hoping to go back part time when I'm back at school (they pay me well and this is great experience).

Inevitably, I end up refreshing TheStar.com and CBCNews.ca ridiculous amounts per day just to get the latest on everything since blog sites won't work, and Facebook is dead to my employer.

Here are some things I've seen along the way.

I regularly frequent a blog called Sociological Images, which discuss advertisements, TV, and popular culture with a sociological spin. This video was posted the other day:



These kinds of videos should come as a wake up call to women... why is it that a lot of us would prefer not to give our opinions? Is it embedded in our nature or has years and years of men stating their opinion conditioned us? In any case, when I see someone asking my opinion on the street next, I will definitely speak up.

I wanted to talk about animal rights and people but I don't feel motivated now (as it's 11:30), so I may post it later. I know I'll just get tired and annoyed by the end, so I won't bother.

Also posted on my WordPress, because I'm feeling disconnected with LJ lately.

He needs to write a new album immediately. I'm going through a bit of a Plan B revival.

I'm finished my third year of school. Only one (and a bit) more to go, but the bit won't count because I'll be freaking out in a different country. So much has changed, etc, etc. Peace out.

I think it's safe to say The Office rules my life. Praise the lord for The Office cast!

Office spam from 2006, I'm sorry.



JIM/PAM 4 LYFE OK?

~tomorrow~

they're not breaking up

Does anyone on my f-list have plans to go to Terminus but haven't bought a ticket yet? I've bought mine but I'm not going anymore. Let me know! I can sell it to your for cheaper than what's on right now.

NBC and The Office writing team announce an Office spin-off.

Well, it couldn't last forever. I truly hope this bombs so hard.

I thought the writers were smart.

I'm really upset.

K I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO OLIVER BOYD AND THE REMEMBRALLS

Also can't stop with pictures of John Krasinski.

And I'm having an Office party at my house on April 10. If you're interested, let me know.

Things are overall expressed into one word: unexpected.

StumbleUpon is my new favourite internets web invention. Let me know if you're on it.

Cannot cope.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out today at two. I love random and meaningless surgery, truly.

Also: Skins last night was ridiculous. In that amazing way that Skins is an absolutely ridiculous show, but is also completely brilliant.

I love being sick and staying home.

This girl is probably my hero. I love her.
"My town has nothing to offer. Unless you want to be a corrections officer. Which I have considered."

I must admit I hate most reality TV besides Project Runway (Canada), and I never bother to watch these annoying (clearly faked) auditions, but this is amazing. GO HER!

Also, this trailer and the accompanying post by Lance from FilmDrunk actually made me cry.

MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIE OF 2008?
Here's the post from FilmDrunk.

I actually think Harper has been quite a good PM for Canada, however, the climate change issue will always bother me. Now that climate change talks are ending in Bali, it's the time that countries act. China and the US are still not signing (and they probably won't) and no matter how small Canada is, we're still getting a horrible reception. I think the world just assumes we're an extremely liberal nation (we are, compared to the US!), and this isn't right.

In any case, please sign this petition (even if you aren't Canadian) to show the world and Harper that Canadians care. It's been signed by almost 100,000 people in 3 days.

Doomsayer David Suzuki (for any non-Canadian, this guy has been talking about global warming for decades on his show The Nature of Things, and he's a true Canadian hero) wrote this article for the Toronto Star.
The best part: Stephen Harper had every reason to say the Liberals talked a line but failed to do much. But that is no reason to cancel Liberal programs created to deal with some of the easiest things, unless the Harper government simply did not believe reductions were necessary.

And this CBC article talks about completing ruining our reputation with not following the Kyoto accord. It includes a quote from a Macleans article which talks about how the world sees Canada, which I believe rings true for all Canadians. “The results contain more than a few surprises. The world likes Canada, a lot: not the reality of Canada, perhaps, but the ideal of Canada, the idea of Canada. Canadians, however, have a host of misgivings about their country: its lack of independence from America’s influence, the compromised integrity of its government systems, its limited impact on world affairs. Simply put, the world is in love with a country that doubts its own worth.”

Cowardly politicians who are scared about ruining their reputation as prime minister disgust me. I promise you that when global warming starts to hit us (in a very short time) we'll be regarding that prime minister as a hero. I truly hope that the next president of the US is a leader.


Edit: for my fellow Torontonians! I participated in this last year even though Toronto wasn't. Glad to hear they are!

I don't like cat macros but this begs for one.


He looks so regal!
He is my Egyptian prince.

K I definitely had a nightmare about Colonel Sanders living in my house. I was in a huge fight with my roommates, and I was reaming Michelle out, and she was cooking dinner. She had all this ranch dressing all over her face. I pulled it off because she was ignoring me and she looked at me and whispered, "Catherine, I don't think we have time for this right now. Colonel Sanders is in the closet."

And there he is, staring at me from the closet behind her.

And then I woke up and was completely terrified.

Then I fell asleep again, and I had a dream about going into Michelle's room, and he was standing on her bed talking about porn.

I WAS ACTUALLY COMPLETELY SCARED THAT SOME NUT DRESSED AS COLONEL SANDERS WAS HIDING IN MY HOUSE!

Why are my dreams so redundant?

Also, new icon.

A SQUIRREL TOTALLY CAME RIGHT UP TO MY WINDOW (which I sit next to) AND DID THIS:

I hate squirrels. I tried to take a picture but he noticed me and scampered away.

FYI: I live in the attic of a three floor house.

BTW I'm writing this because I have a lot of work to do. Kill me.
