Hey guys, it’s international women’s day. As you may have gathered from the title, I’d like to know what this means to you. Male or female, women affect everyone. We all have mothers, possibly sisters, aunties and definitely a female friend or two. What I really mean is: How do you feel about the existence of a day of recognition? I seldom recognize such days as I feel it’s the same point … Continue reading
Hey guys. Watching the US presidential inauguration coverage from across the border is quite a view. I love how Americans go all out with stuff like this. Honestly, I do. I love watching ceremonies from an anthropological standpoint. Being that the US is Canada’s closest neighbour, I feel obligated to keep up with the national news. But one thing about it in particular has got me a little angry. It’s the coverage of the … Continue reading
Hey guys. Over the long weekend, I helped a friend of mine move. Afterwards, I was thinking of a conversation we had earlier about real friends. How do you know who your real friends are? Well, I’d like to explain it this way: Good friends are like stars, you can’t always see them, but they’re always there. (Can’t find a source for this quote. Anyone know?). Your real friends are there when … Continue reading
Hey guys. I’m talking about a girly subject today. The ‘p’ word. P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S. What do you mean, ‘princess?!’ it’s in the title, you dirty pervert. I thought this was especially relevant this time of year. I get insanely annoyed seeing all the ‘sexy’ costumes and related BS. (For some genuinely awesome, age-appropriate kid’s costumes, check out A Mighty Girl) Anyway, for as long as I can remember, my family, and the general media has … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. No doubt you’re glad the Olympics is over. But for me, it’s not because of the sports coverage. I actually like sports! It was the unfair coverage of female athletes that got my attention. These women work fucking HARD to get to Olympic level. They are skilled, strong, healthy, ambitious and smart. They are gold, silver and bronze medallists. They are our sisters, mothers, friends, team-mates and best friends. They are simply, the best … Continue reading
Hey guys. I finally bought a proper lash curler…the famous Shu Uemura one. Which I should have done ages ago because i’ve got giant eyelashes, and zillions of them. It’s actually a genetic mutation that gives me 3 rows of lashes on the top, 2 on the bottom. Sounds cool, but not all of them grow the right way and they poke me in the damn eyeball! So a good … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. I saw something on Facebook this morning: Someone was asking what it was that made you change your life for the better. They were talking health-wise, but it got me thinking about other parts of my life. The last 2yrs have been such a growth period for me. At the start of last year, after months of thinking about it, I decided to shift my focus to stuff … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. Do you hate Mondays as much as me? I think it should always be a 3-day weekend! Anyway, I’ve been busy the last few weeks. Had a health scare with a relative, but kept myself occupied with work. It does help, especially when there’s nothing you can do personally. This is what I was working on: More shots with Vesper Sephony! I recently bought a very, very strong exhaust fan, … Continue reading
Hey everyone. We all have bad weeks, right? This past ten days I could swear I did something to piss off karma, but that’s not my point. I’ve touched on this before; you shouldn’t let life cut you down. But when you’re having a shitty week, it’s ok to bitch about it. Not constantly, though. Dwelling on it isn’t going to help, or is it? I’ve found that sometimes, the horrible things people … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens. I’ve been thinking, I have all these random things I do when I’m unhappy, or pissed off that really help in cheering me up. Some of them are random, but I thought I’d share. I know Mondays can suck, but here’s some fun stuff that can help lift you out of the darkness. 1. Talk to your cat. (Or dog, or bird, or bearded lizard…your get the point.) Chairman chirruping and meowing back at me like a conversation never fails to make … Continue reading
