2012 Liberal Budget

I'm not a social conservative, but I am a fiscal one. Here's why. And, yes, there's a difference.

I've always found these MPDG characters interesting [Garden State - Sam (played by Natalie Portman), Breakfast at Tiffany's - Holly Golightly (played by Audrey Hepburn), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -Clementine Kruczynski (played by Kate Winslet)], and they are often my favourite characters Holly Golightly topping that list.

Anyway, here's a funny video that makes me realize that living up the standards these girls set isn't always a bad thing.

This doesn't really apply to me right now, but it's hilarious and pretty catchy.

Keep Calm and Carry On

I know the message of the poster (I mean the original message, not the parodies) resonates with me as well as so many others. Now I want the set of three to help me through the day!

Dial 'P' For Pussy (Cat)

Nick and I were talking on Skype and he sends me a link to this:

Me: That makes sense to me
Though I probably would have just brought my cats

Nick: But... calling them?
On the phone?

Me: I'm not going to lie to you and say I've never talked to one of my cats over the phone.

[Long Pause]

Nick: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I laugh at you

Yes, internet world, this is my life. And I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only one who has, at some point, talked to a pet over the phone.

The Joy of Stats

I am currently taking one of the courses that I've been dreading most: Statistics.

I'm terrible at math, so terrible that in grade 10 I had to repeat applied math as I didn't pass the first time. Now I've hyped it up so much that when I even go into the classroom I feel nervous and a little sick.

This video made it seem not (as) terrifying.

A Virtually Quiet Space

I have a lot of problems focusing and I am usually anxious about something. I recently learned of something called The Quiet Place Project. I can't promise you that going here will immediately fix all of your problems, but it's really relaxing and only takes approximately the same time as watching a music video on YouTube. If you just need a moment to clear your head it's a really simple way to do so.
