Happy Groundhog Day. I was in my 30’s when I learned that Balzac Billy is just a mascot, not a real groundhog, and the day has lost some of its magic.

My mom is a retired nurse, and I had a medical question about my toes. I had to describe it to her via which little piggy it was. Not only does this little piggy have no roast beef, he also is injured.

Today was less about the kms, and more about the views. We were skiing on tourist hot spot, Lake Louise.

Pundits and reporters everywhere weeping that Own Goal is no longer our top goalscorer.

I keep betting my mom that the CPC will deal with Poilievre, and I keep doubling down that the *next loss*, they’ll move on from this loser. And the CPC keeps doubling down on him and costing me money.
Do you WANT to keep losing? In what world is this guy seen as a rival to Mark Carney?

Very tired of people joking that they should just trade Alberta away. Like we’ve got vocal idiots trying to collect signatures for a referendum. But we already successfully had Albertans sign for a referendum to reaffirm that we will ALWAYS be Canadian. Stop throwing us away!

I‘ve been dealing with bad eye strain symptoms this week, and I have no clue what to do because literally everything revolves around screens now. Work? Screen. Entertainment? Screen. Phone? Screen. Music? Screen. Reading? Screen. Crafting? Pattern on screen.

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

Actually, Narco Mennonites was probably recommended to me because I live in Alberta. Alberta has less Mennonites than provinces like Ontario and Manitoba, BUT we have the largest Hutterite population. Unrelated, we also have the most Mormons.

They put Mark Carney in the ACTUAL fleece from Heated Rivalry. The real one, that Hudson Williams wore in the episode.
We are such an unserious country most of the time. I love it.

One of my top Crave “For You” recommendations is Narco Mennonites.
A) what?
B) you are absolutely correct, I’m totally into this kind of stuff.

Confession: I actually watched Jon Stewart for the first time last night, and he is so much more annoying than I anticipated.
But my fiancé LOVES him, so I will never say this out loud, and I will happily watch every video he shows me, even if his mannerisms irk me.

I truly do not understand people who think Ted Lasso had a good ending. Season 3 was just awful. I don’t get it. We just are fundamentally on different wavelengths.

If Apple actually wants to make a serious change, they should change Low Battery Mode to the default, and switch the current “default” to a performance mode you toggle on. I never use the “waste my battery for negligible gains” mode

I think I finally figured out what bothers me the most about wedding planning right now, and it’s something in common with AI
It’s the idea of pushing personalization beyond a logical point? Like AI generating songs and pictures JUST FOR YOU, your wedding needs every detail to be UNIQUE to YOU

I love getting married in a time of economic uncertainty. The price of platinum has almost tripled since we had my engagement ring made. We are following platinum price forecasts and getting rings made ASAP because of the volatility of pricing. So fun, defs how I dreamed of wedding planning

I’m reading Flowers in the Attic for the first time, and I’m really glad I didn’t read it as an adolescent.
Not because of the weird incest stuff. But because I have dimensions close to the Grandmother’s, and Cathy just keeps going on and on about how monstrously giant she is.

SNL has a WAY higher budget, but This Hour Has 22 Minutes is doing way better with their Trump impersonation.
Not only is Mark Critch closer lookswise, we used taxpayer money to ship Mark Critch to Greenland for the bit! And then made him actually report about it on CBC national news.
