You all are so sweet. I am just self emo-liating (I AM SO FUNNY, SEE?) because it’s the holidays and my boyfriend is a captive of his mother’s insanity, and I still haven’t gotten my financial aid information from American, and I have tomorrow off and I am running out of things to do with myself other than systematically annihilate my cuticles and drink, which are very good things to do...
These new TSA regulations are the least of our...
minou:
I don’t see how air travel could possibly get more demoralizing than it already is. It took me 11 hours today to complete a 1 hour domestic flight. Most of it was spent sitting on the runway AT MY DESTINATION, unable to disembark. And the sad thing is, I am old enough to remember when you still had to dress up in your nice clothes to fly and air travel was a somewhat glamorous, if often...
Wait. Is this stuff about new regulations about...

Can someone point me to a link?
Looks like it, amazingly enough. Air Canada
“Among other things, during the final hour of flight customers must remain seated, will not be allowed to access carry-on baggage, or have personal belongings or other items on their laps.”
I guess I read over that quickly. I saw something else on my dash that seemed a lot...

Also I’m making whimsical crafts, wearing ironic flannel and huge sunglasses, and my hair is shaggy. What’s next? An Etsy shop?
As long as you don’t delve into “whimsicle fuckery!”

The big news in the land of snow (i.e. Canada) is...
My response?
Carrie Underwood is dating a Canadian hockey player?!
I caught the very edge of the shitstorm. WBB's...

And sick with a cold. Of course.
One of the worst sore throats I’ve had in a while. BLARG.

Scoop up some fresh snow in a bowl, drizzle maple syrup on it, and eat up.
I loved this advice, but I must tell you, it is blasphemy to do this outside the context of a sugarbush.
Yes! Sugarshack snow is specially formulated for the maple syrup drizzle. A paper plate is also required.
Getting back into opera chorus...
dailyhuff:
A very social scene. I’m a pretty social person. But Tumblr is my main socializing outside family these days.
I’m worried I’m gonna be hanging out with folks in opera chorus and start looking for reblog and like buttons on their clothes or something.
OOh OOh! The slave chorus from Nabucco is one of the operatic highlights of all time! I remember the Coven Garden performance I saw...

ncmeetup:
THANK YOU EVERYONE for coming out to East End last night!!!
Looks like we’ll have to do this again soon! There’s a lot of interest in getting together in Raleigh or Durham, and if you are considering organizing a meetup, let me know and I’ll add you as a contributor.
Without further ado…

Why was I not informed?! And me with no CBC…
I left the internet for one day and Luanne Platter...
In Canada!
It’s warmer here.
When Will White People Stop Making Movies Like... →
natface:
jgh:
“These are movies about white guilt. Our main white characters realize that they are complicit in a system which is destroying aliens, AKA people of color - their cultures, their habitats, and their populations. The whites realize this when they begin to assimilate into the “alien” cultures and see things from a new perspective. To purge their overwhelming sense of guilt, they...
And Red Lobster has those cheese biscuit thingees....

And when they serve all-you-can-eat shrimp.
I agree with this completely. Those rolls are to die for. But the food poisoning you will inevitably get from eating ANY pescetarian option on that menu is not worth it.

U2 has recorded some of the worst Christmas songs...
(via suchas)
Oh no! I love their version of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)!!” And I hate U2. But I really love that song.
Anyone who's ever been near a reindeer knows they...
Like woah. Almost as bad as goats.

Life is interesting.
I am driving to Canada on Sunday. I expect tropical weather.
Vancouver’s just really rainy, but that’s not unusual.
I’m going to Ontario, so tropical weather might be a little harder to find :)

Make fun of Southerners all you want,
gunstreetgirl:
but holy shit it is hard to drive in the snow. I put it in the lower gear, I didn’t slam on my brakes, I drove slowly enough, etc. But I was freaking out and praying out loud the entire time [I’m not really a praying person].
I had to leave work early before it got worse. My boss told me that I didn’t have to come in tomorrow unless I felt like it. You don’t even have to guess...
A Play by Play of my mother and my first viewing...
Mom: Ah. Aliens.
Me: Yeah, this looks bad.
Mom: This looks offensive.
Me: Are the "aliens" using bow and arrows?
Mom: And riding horse-like creatures?
Me: No, it's totally on another planet.
Mom: Why do those aliens have such high cheek bones?

wannablessedbereturns:
You may expect a snarky review on Harpyness. Thou are welcome!
I look forward to this. I want to know how much CGI it would take to cover the stench of a colonial and Great White Hope mentality.

crabbyalissa:
(via insomniacmeg)
If I said these were the worst things ever invented, beauty-wise, I would not be overstating how much I hate these fucking things. It’s not a pen, it’s a brush. A poofy, stupid brush that gets nail polish everywhere and then dries to a gross, clumpy mess, effectively ruining the thing after one use.
Did I mention I loathe them? LOATHE.
I totally believe...

Girly question upcoming!

Yet, I am still flummoxed by the riddle answer. But I have a feeling this will never change.

I would join this conversation but if anyone tries to tell me I say “aboot” I will lose it.
I’ve never been to Toronto, but I’ve known enough people from Ontario to pick up odd bursts of their accent, particularly on my ARRs.
My entire family has the Ottawa valley accent—I can’t miss it when I hear it in others, especially how they end...
Toboggan.
yosamanthrax:
This has caused me great stress.
In NY a toboggan is a sled.
In KY a toboggan is a hat.
WHAT?
Also, my Mainer bf calls a winter hat a tobog?
It’s only a touque to me. I accept nothing else.
Perfect.

I’m not fighting about it either. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. I’m from Long Island for pete’s sake. Do you know what pizzer is?
YES I DO. ITS WHAT PEOPLE EAT IN NEW ENGLAND. THEY PAY FOR IT WITH DOLLAHS.
minisparks freaked me out yesterday. She asked for a glass of WHUTA. She also told me the bubblah at her school was broken.
OH...
Back in Maine! Wow. Snow.
This is strange.
Well, up at 5am tomorrow, in the air at 7, layover...

I am hilariously, utterly broke.
Literally, have very few dollars to my name.
