This morning around 6am, Patrick and I were awake for no reason.
Patrick: WE SHOULD PLAY VIDEO GAMES!
Me: I’m pretty sure we have an xbox.
Patrick: Yeah, but there aren’t any controllers so we could only watch the menu screens.
Me: {long pause} do dooo dooo dooo do do doodoodoodoo.
Patrick: Is there a “Push It” video game I don’t know about?!
It’s August.
Which means.
I’ve got nothing to do.
And the office was not very receptive.
To my “notable deaths are so hot right now” comment.
It’s been an amazing week, really.
These fonts are dumb:
That’s all.

Wow. Seriously. Wow. I just got back from a week-long Sicilian adventure with my sister (she’s the lovely lady giggling with a lobster, not the child stabbing a jelly fish) and I’m officially obsessed. While I will never ever ever ever fly AirCanada again (a very long story involving almost all the employees at the Toronto airport, countless conversations with Indian call centers, a few tears, and a whole lotta borrowed underwear), the trip was beyond awesome. I’m currently missing Michele (pronounced Mee-Kell-eh, a dude to my surprise), the fabulous owner of the Isoco Guest House, like WOAH and I can’t stop smiling since my brain feels totally unmushy, maxing out with soo many funnies and funtimes. Unfortunately, I’m still a little hazy and jet-lagging hardcore, so a more detailed and adventure-laden post will have to follow later. For now, please enjoy the 4 course photo-meal I threw together with a few bits and bops that were just laying around. It’s seafood. See? Food!
It’s been almost one year since I graduated college. And while there are many many things that I definitely do not miss (homework, packing up all my belongings every 9 months, a capella), I sometimes wonder if my brain is getting mushy. You know, like an under-used muscle or a cucumber past its expiration date or a pretty big pile of poo. So one day on the R/W, after a totally brainless day at my entry level 9-5, I used my mushy brain to think about its mushyness and ended up with at least one decent solution. I call this game “what would my ipod do?” and here’s how it works:
Rules:
1. Turn on iPod
2. Play songs in Shuffle Mode
3. Spend an entire day doing things based solely on the randomly selected song
4. Length of the activity/decision should also be inspired by the length of the song
5. No skipping songs. Use your imagination, okay?
6. Game ends when the day ends
For instance, if I followed these rules based on what was playing on my walk to work this morning, my day would probably start off like this:
“Your Song” – Elton John (4:05)
I don’t have much money… = something cheap
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen… = something sweet that starts with the letter “i” or is kinda Asian or both
Activity: Get ice cream from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory!
Length: 40 min and 50 sec (includes travel time)
.
“Michael” – Franz Ferdinand (3:21)
Activity: Go to the children’s section of a bookstore and read “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf to whomever will listen. Afterwards, quiz the children about the story, but only address them as “Michael” or “Franz.”
Length: 32 min and 10 sec (does not include travel time)
.
.
“Goodnight and Go” – Imogen Heap (3:52)
Activity: Steal “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown and go.
Length: 3 min and 52 sec
.
and so on.
and so forth.
