i get way to excited about finding reasons to write essays about comic books. i feel some disconnect in trying to explain my essay proposal to the prof who evidently does not read comics.
basically what i need to do is write an essay using course materials with the option of using outside sources. my proposal was to write about the bat family relaunches from DC’s New 52 and talk about...

whining to my cat how i’ve become a lizard again. damn skin. if only i could sluice it off and replace it with i dunno, some sort of pliant shield thing. maybe i could be green. green would be a good colour. or maybe purple. purple is my favourite. even just saying “purple” makes me immensely happy.
ugh. lizard skin.
is degrassi funded by the gov’t or something? every episode is like a PSA.

also, i hate when you have dreams and know exactly what they mean. insecurity wise. i mean, in comparison with positive feelings, some of my favourite dreams are the ones where everyone is just sitting/walking around enjoying one another’s company. that’s always cool.
but having a dream about one of the people you care about the most being unable to hear you, that’s just a...

is it wrong that i think that the terminally cheerful are particularly defective? I mean, I’m not judging them for defect, that’s fine. I just find that with my personality that kind of defective is especially grating…

sooo this lovely thing of petty vandalism regarding the i believe in sherlock holmes campaign.
let’s take a moment to appreciate what a brilliant vessel of free advertising it is.
that being said I freaking love seeing it because it makes me feel like less of a knob for having so many feels; sense of community, showing appreciation for the show, etc, etc. Because I don’t believe in...

i’ve had one of those existential crisis days today, but i think it’s ending. i might even venture out for chocolate at the 24hr grocery.
gah, i hate when this happens because it’s totally a response to how stressful i’m finding things that i think i should be able to handle. i mean, i guess what’s frustrating me is that it’s reading week next week which means...

valentine's day
i’ve observed the strangest day.
today was a crit in my lithography class, so that’s always a bit of a fish out of water day for me, not because i’m afraid of presenting or talking about my work so much as it just underlines my difficulty in connecting with people.
around three i got a text cancelling plans to watch walking dead with my friend and her husband because...

a man just came down and said to us, “I lost my pants, I can’t find them, that’s why I’m walking around with no pants.”
he came back a few minutes later to tell us that he found his pants, they were in his car.

significantly less bummed now that it’s today instead of yesterday. Gosh. I have to go in and draw on my litho stone today which is fine except…ehehehe.
So we have to draw ourselves the way that we want to be seen, and I had to think about this quite a lot because I tend to lean towards what I like to see in myself or just what I do see in myself and it’s all about moods,...

somehow i was contacted by three people i least like to be contacted by in the last 72 hours. what the deuce people.
i could give a long and arduous explanation of why i don’t like to be contacted by these people but it’s actually pretty boring and while their sentiment is not entirely lost on me, i’ve done quite well to move on. you know, that barenaked ladies lyric, “if...

i’m sure that someone else has already come up with this but if supernatural and torchwood were a cross-over; superwood, right?
i must begin writing fic immediately on the basis of that fandom name alone.

guys guys guys most angsty reasoning for why sherlock’s button-ups don’t fit:
he bought them when he was using cocaine and never bothered replacing them after he was at a healthier/non-cocaine weight.

i think that we should just rename icing “diabetes cream”.
i made earl grey cupcakes.
for some reason, i always thought that ‘gray’ was the Canadian spelling, but it’s actually the American spelling. clearly some wayward English teacher has misinformed me somewhere along the way. the bastard. I sort of like ‘gray’ better than ‘grey’ though.

SPOILERS: Sherlock, The Reichenbach Fall
Ehm, everything under a cut because spoilers.
I knew the moment that the episode started with John back at the therapist that there was a plan to keep Sherlock alive. It was just to kill us. It was a false start, establishing a false assumption. However, regardless of this, regardless of knowing that Sherlock would live, the sounds that I made in the jump scene were not even human and left me...

SPOILERS: Supernatural; Time After Time After Time
Oh Supernatural, we were once so close.
I made a brief sojourn back to the world of SPN for this week however given that I’ve always thought that there should be a proper noir episode. Of course, I always thought it should have had Cas, but we don’t get that nice thing. Whatever, I enjoyed it. Dean looked…(knees wobble). Christ. The things that period dress do to me are...

i bought new underpants today and i want to share this because one of them is some men’s briefs from american apparel and it’s A VERY LURID PURPLE and thus amazing. Yes. And ever so comfy. the other pair is boring heather gray and then the other one is another men’s briefs teal. Ugh I loves men’s underpants. So much more sensible than women’s underwear. Usually. I...

I’ve gone through watching Scandal in Belgravia twice now and i have a lot of mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it’s brilliant. On the other hand, oh please.
So let’s start with the good stuff. Firstly, I love Irene Adler. As a character, as a woman. She’s clever and she’s good at what she does. Undoubtedly, she outwitted Sherlock by using the one language he...

so i figured out what the mysterious money was in my bank account; it wasn’t mine. I went in today and told them as much as I think i’d probably like a extra thousand dollars, I probably shouldn’t take it because it isn’t mine. They were sort of astonished that I’d bother coming in for something like that, checked the transactions and were really apologetic saying...

there is fair and unexpected sum of money in my bank account. clearly there’s been a mistake. seriously, i looked at the statement and i have no idea who the person is who deposited it :S Will call in morning and be like “Wtf, mate?”
This is very disorienting.

i’ve gotten my inner tube replaced on my bike, it has been a very long and tragic separation spanning the duration of the last week and a half. truly upsetting. but tomorrow i’m going to invest in some proper winter gear for the road (gotta keep those little nibblies warm) and hit the roads once more. yes, it is december, but it is also vancouver.

I am accosted again by offers of free prayer and amenesty int’l is asking me for a charitable spirit. i often consider screaming at them that i have no soul, and that i don’t believe in charity. life is better on a bike (they don’t talk to you when you’re biking because you’re trying to not die).
why am i so curmudgeonly?
I actually don’t mind the prayer...
i am not built for christmas and commercial cheer. i am not able to walk through malls blaring christmas music and not simply bug out and start awkward staring and everyone that cuts in front of me. i am not able to withstand sitting on the crowded buses after being in the crowded stores and think that everything is going to be okay. I do not enjoy when charities send santa claus to appeal to me...

The National w. Wye Oak and Local Natives
WYE OAK
I saw Wye Oak last year at the Biltmore with Shearwater and was floored by their droning devouring metal-esque meets The White Stripes tunes that vibrate your eyeballs out and claws its way down your spine. I was very much looking forwards to seeing them play again, and of course they did not disappoint. Unfortunately, given that it was three bill night, they were allotted only about half...
