I make bracelets; I cosplay; I play video games.
Mostly here for news that's not about USA because I don't live there.

So now we're stuck in a parking garage in Hamilton because my husband wouldn't listen to me how to get to the car and we lost all the extra time we tried to get by leaving early.
We're both bad inside buildings, please listen to the person who checks maps.

I feel like people think "birds are dinosaurs" is a weird fun fact that is "technically true" but I don't know how to emphasize that there are tens of thousands of species of theropod dinosaur on the planet with us right now. People keep them AS PETS.

These two dudes in their 50s sat next to me and I caught their accents. Could tell at least one was Buffalo, and the other I listened more and thought Tonawanda.
They were in the wrong seats and my husband asked where they were from.
Buffalo and Tonawanda.
Accent savant.

I just realised why the second type in my right foot starts to go numb when I'm a passenger in a car too long and it's because my knees are bent and cutting off the circulation.
I put the seat back but it only goes so far in the Cadillac.

Last time I went to a theater a junkie brought her dog. Then a dog barked in the movie and the purse dog lost its mind.
Then the junkie full on took a phone call and I finally yelled at her.

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

Alrighty I am not good at this anymore. I used five shades out of the Warrior II by Black-owned Juvia's Place (I'm not allergic and their formulas are amazing), including the red. Then I sat on my bed to post and looked like the elder lazy swamp goth I am.
Happy NIN day, everyone

My laptop fan ports always smell like hot burny electronics. This is another reason why I don't respect laptops.
The only thing cool about a laptop is I can use it on the couch....but I have a phone for that.
Keyboard sucks, battery sucks, trackpad sucks, screens size sucks.

"This thing isn't where I want it to be"
then find a way to get it to where you need it? also, stop using me as a search engine
People wonder how I can be so worn out and cranky all the time when I have so few responsibilities. Doing the thinking for like 5 other people at this point, unemployed!

I now have to get up and dry my hair (washed it 14hrs ago). And eat something. And hockey is on at 10.30.
I need to start putting on makeup (I find it easier to put on a light face earlier in the day and then go back at it for night).
I can't believe we're going to NIN again because of my husband

It's so much better now that we can change the channel and the bands are split.

Thinking a variety stream will be best. Hop around game to game as conversation goes.
So what should I stream for my 5-year Affiliate anniversary?
Lion King runs? Tetris and chill? Something wildly popular that I will be bad at?

I've been waiting my entire life to get a good career at home. Thought I had a goo thing going, then AI happened and I haven't worked since this guy was elected (that's the timing, not an implication)
Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy will transform our military and defence supply chains — creating good careers at home, opening new markets for our businesses, and equipping the Canadian Armed Forces with the world-class equipment they need to protect Canada and our Allies.
