Indisputable Facts of Life – Part 2.

19 Aug

There is no hyperbole here, people. This is gospel. Part 1 is here. (Note that it was written in January of 2009 and yep – STILL INDISPUTABLE, BRO.)

Telling people in great detail about the “crazy” dream you had last night is a form of torture and you don’t want to be a torturer, do you? Unless I was in your dream doing something awesome, or you’re one of the two people closest to me on this planet, or your dream was fucking hilarious, I would rather hear about how gassy you were whilst giving an important presentation to the boss over the irrelevant and nonsensical actions of your subconscious.

It’s difficult to rock white sunglasses without looking like a total asshole. The problem is that the white plastic rim is such a direct contrast to the black lenses that it looks like your face is screaming I’M WEARING SUNGLASSES. Which, clearly, is not the point of sunglasses.

Googling this made me hate myself.

Being alone feels really awesome. You should do it more often.

Putting grated cheese on popcorn has made me a better human being.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is such a BABE. I’ve had a crush on him since 3rd Rock from the Sun (who didn’t) but as he gets older he continues to not only get hotter, but also more awesome. Well played, JGL.

I'm so sexy and good at stuff.

Real books are better than a Kindle. Forever and always.

Joffrey Baratheon is such a little piece of shit. I’m still so mad about that, you guys. Like…WTF was he trying to prove? Guess what Joffrey, you’re an incest baby. How does that feel, huh?! Who lets a frigging 12 year old be a king and make king decisions anyways? NED WAS AN HONEST AND NOBLE MAN.

Great. Now I’m too upset to even finish this blog post. I BID YOU ADIEU.

The Search Continues

7 Aug

These are search terms that drove people to this blog today:

A Few Notes to Those in Search:

  • We truly hope you find your football guy in Atlanta. I bet he was smoking hot. Or if you ARE the football guy, and you’re just searching for a Craigslist missed connections post about yourself, you really need to find other ways to boost your ego. Try steroids.
  • “Shirt you spent reading this?” Did you lose a shirt in order to read this blog? We salute you. Send us topless pics. Unless you’ve got man boobs.
  • There is a very good chance you will never meet Natalie Portman. But if you do, tell her there’s a chick in Canada who looks like she could be her uglier and less talented cousin and that she should come kick it with me and we’ll drink beer and rap.
  • “I touched my vagina with jalapeno on my hands” – At first, this made me laugh out loud until my co-workers started sending me emails begging me to quit cackling. But then I became concerningly somber. Why? I was once in a grocery store with K. that had a plethora of hot peppers. The selection was so vast and majestic that I become excitable like a small child in a toy store except replace toy store with “aisle full of dangerously spicy peppers” and “small child” with “adult who knows better.” I began running my hands along all the peppers, taking in their shapes, sizes and colours; holding each one up individually and yelling: “K! K! K! K, look at this! It’s a habanero…BUT IT’S YELLOW! K! K….K are you looking? LOOK, K!!!” Then I rubbed my eye. I recovered in the grocery store bathroom (special thanks to the meat department for letting me use their eye wash station), but the emotional scars of this incident have never really left me. Imagining this pain….ON MY VAGINA? Girl. GIRL. I just don’t even know what to say. Blessings be to your coochie.

Again, we’re sorry that you were looking for answers to these crucial life questions and all you stumbled upon was some blog written by two chicks from Canada. To make up for it, here’s a picture of Michael Jackson drinking vodka with midgets.

S. vs. Sunglasses 2011

27 Jul

There are many things I don’t own, including (but not limited to):

  • A car
  • A watch
  • My own set of pots and/or pans
  • Self-control
  • Children
  • A pair of sunglasses

One of these is a desperate necessity for summer in a big, hot, sweaty city and contrary to your first inclination, it’s not the self-control. IT’S THE SUNGLASSES.

Why do I not own sunglasses? There are many reasons; stemming from my lack of disposable income and my propensity to lose things, to my inherent belief that every single pair makes me look like a total asshole.

I don’t know what it is, but the moment I put sunglasses on I instantly feel like I’m trying too hard. Which is so stupid, because I look around and everyone else is wearing them. Even losers. Even old people. EVEN CHILDREN are wearing sunglasses. Maybe I’m too hard on myself. Or maybe I’ve been too damaged by the rampant belief that ugly chicks wear sunglasses to trick boys into thinking their cute, like how some boys wear hats all the time until that one awkward date when he doesn’t wear a hat and you realize his head is shaped like a butternut squash or that his hairline resembles a half-crescent moon that is pulling the tide away further and further from his forehead but by then you’ve been on too many dates to stop seeing him for such a superficial reason like the fact that his head reflects light better than the windshield of a car.

But I digress.

This past weekend I went out to a little neighbourhood street festival that was happening near my place. The sun was trying to spoon with my retinas so badly I knew I had no other option but to give in and buy a damn pair of sunglasses. I grabbed a pair, threw them on my face, took a 0.04 second look in the mirror and mumbled “Yeahsurethesewillworkhowmucharethey” and threw a $20 bill at the poor woman. I felt like I was buying condoms for the first time.

After my completely unnecessarily high emotions about buying sunglasses calmed down, I realized that they have a fake woodgrain pattern on them.

That’s right. I’m wearing the equivalent of this ON MY FACE (except way less majestic):

Let's go on a journey...

So if you need me, I’ll be over here wearing a mauve tracksuit and humming Joni Mitchell songs while I pack my husband’s underwear in preparation for our big trip to Casino Niagra.

EDIT: The funniest part about this whole post is the fact that my mom drives a PT Cruiser. But it’s red, not woodgrained. I swear.

  • I should teach myself HTML.
  • Who was the first chick to ever get a pap? Imagine being that chick. JUST IMAGINE.
  • What kind of person would I be if the Internet was never invented? More well-read? Less funny? FUNNIER?! Longer attention span? Sheltered? Would I have a better memory? Flawless cursive?

  • What did Beyonce and Jay-Z do on their first date?
  • I’m 80% sure I didn’t put that mozzarella back.

Fashion WTFs

12 Jul

In case you didn’t know, the primary point of having a blog is to illustrate to the world how much better you are than them.

Trust me, I’m an expert at this.

A guru, if you will.

I’m really good at the internet, is what I’m saying.

I really don’t have the means (money) to dress the way I want to, so what better way to improve my own self-esteem than dragging down that of others, starting with the horrible things they choose to cover their bodies with.

LIKE THESE

You’re probably thinking: “WTF, that’s like so rude to be making fun of a poor mother of five just trying to walk home after purchasing some affordable athletic wear for her children from Roots, S. Why are you being such a bitch?” And normally I would agree with you, if it wasn’t for the fact that this is actually a chick in her EARLY twenties just trying to be an ironic hipster asshole. These pants are not flattering. On anyone. Look how these pants make her ass cheeks look. I don’t even have a joke about it, JUST LOOK.

Child, why? It is 8:30 in the morning, where are you going looking like this? I guess the better question is where are you coming from? Look at these. I’m pretty sure they were made out of the same plastic as those jelly sandals from your childhood. These bitches have about a 2.5 inch heel on them too, so just a bit taller than a kitten heel, but not nearly tall enough to excuse the audacity of the rest of these things. How you gonna make shoes that are this much of an obnoxious eyesore and then put such a sensible heel on them? Like that could be a selling point… “Manageable 2.5 inch heel ensures safety and comfort while walking long distances, visiting with friends and family, going to church or doing public activities.” At least go all the way with a 4.5 inch stiletto and rock these things with pride like COME AT ME BRO. Little would they know that the long lost art of ancient Roman gladiators has been resurrected with a sexy new twist and you’re the new Slutty Spartacus. This is starting to sound like an Angelina Jolie movie. I’ll stop.

The moral of the story is as such: Wear stupid shit, and there’s a 85% chance that some asshole with an iPhone will be taking a really creepy photo of you for their soapbox blog. You’ve been warned.

You don’t even have to say anything.

I know what you’re thinking.

Where has this bitch been?

I have no excuses for you. I’ve been at work. And at my other part-time job where I am VP of Lazy Assholes. It’s a really tough gig. Here’s a recap of what has happened since my last post:

  • I found out that Hugh Hefner is on Twitter. I’m furious with all of you for not alerting me to this earlier.
  • I’ve been learning to live with humidity. We’ve had our ups and downs, but we’re in a good place now.
  • I watched this video an inappropriate number of times. THEY’RE LIKE LITTLE ACTUAL PEOPLE. Doing regular people things. And yes…I understand that they are babies so they are, indeed, little people but that doesn’t stop this from being amazing. And 26+ million people agree with me, so you can fuck right off.
  • I found internet k-hole and nothing has been the same since.
  • Peter Falk died, so if you aren’t watching The Princess Bride this weekend in remembrance, I really don’t know what you’re doing with your life.

I feel like I sign off every post with a promise to write more, so I’m just going to leave you with this BLAST FROM YOUR PAST:

That just happened.

S. Goes To New York City

16 May

The title says it all, bitches – I’M KIND OF A BIG DEAL.

And when you’re a big deal, you go to big cities and drink a lot of big kid drinks and in your excitement you forget to pace yourself, then spend the first night you’re there throwing up a very expensive meal because THAT’S HOW YOU ROLL, you big deal you. Then you almost barf in a cafe in Midtown the next morning because big nights deserve big mornings.

Somehow I managed to pull my shit together for the rest of the weekend though and now present you with Lessons From Abroad Part 2 (you can find Part 1, the New Orleans edition here):

Lesson 1: No matter what you’ve packed – you have not packed what you need and all your clothes are dumb and stupid and lame and completely not NYC worthy they’re just these frumpy frocks and I mean really why do you even try? Maybe you are not such a big deal after all. Maybe you are just a medium deal from Canada.

Lesson 2: Drinking makes you confident!

Lesson 3: Manhattan consists of nothing but beautiful people and car horns. If you’re going, bring condoms and ear plugs. Thank me later.

Lesson 4: Joe’s Pizza. Greenwich Village. DON’T ASK QUESTIONS, JUST GO. GO AND PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH AND I’LL STOP ABUSING THE CAPS LOCK.

That’s all I got. I’m so exhausted I shouldn’t be unsupervised around electronics right now.

Let’s Politic For a Second…

4 May

We just had (another) federal election in Canada and the results were historic, for many reasons. We ended up with a Conservative majority (ew) but alongside that comes some sweeping change in Canada’s political landscape – including gender representation in Parliament.

The first female Member of Parliament was elected 90 years ago and we’ve just NOW – for the first time in Canada’s history – reached the point where women make up a quarter of the seats in the House of Commons.  That’s both good news and bad news though because…

Canada remains 52nd in the world when it comes to female representation in political office, and it’s falling further behind as other countries take more aggressive measures to even out the gender balance.

(Source: Globe and Mail)

52nd IN THE WORLD when it comes to female representation in politics. Our  numbers are at an all-time high now, and that’s great, but it would be even more great (and FAIR) to see this number hit 50%. Gender parity in politics is necessary for true democracy, plain and simple.

Yet I say this as a woman who isn’t doing anything about it herself. Sure, I vote, but I’ve never actually considered getting into politics. I drink and swear too much, and while that seems to go over really well for some of our male counterparts in the political sphere – women (still) need to watch their step carefully. Kidding. But only kinda.

So I suppose all I can do is blog about it in the hopes of inspiring young, sharp, confident and competent young women to look at politics as a career path. Do it for us. For all the women that have too much embarrassing stuff about them circulating the Internet. For all the women who are passionate about politics but don’t have the attention span or the patience to actually make it work.

DO IT FOR US.
