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! As those of you that follow my Twitter know, i’ve recently started an online course through Coursera. It’s a pretty novel concept and I had my doubts about online courses, but it really does feel like a normal university course. There’s video lectures (mine only has 2-2.5hrs a week),  homework quizzes and assignments. But, for someone like me with an odd, ever changing schedule, it’s really such a … Continue reading →

firmoo sunglasses

Hey Strangekittens! Check out my bitchin’ new sunglasses Aren’t they cool? Firmoo.com very generously sent me a pair for review. I think I tried to pick one that looked similar to my normal glasses, and ended up being 80s grunge. Being that I normally wear prescription glasses, finding sunglasses is a pain. I can’t just wear any kind, i’d need to find a solid pair that would be able to take my prescription, and … 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 Strangekittens! How was your weekend? Here at SK we chilled out, went to see ‘Brave’. I loved it. Partially because the lead girl has the same crazy curly hair I do, and I can kinda relate to the whole ‘stop trying to turn me into you’ thing. Speaking of hair…i’m blonde now lol. I still need to lighten it a bit more maybe, but I like it: UPDATE: It kept … 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 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 →
