We have a moral obligation to destroy the current role of the B.A. in American life. It has become an emblem of first-class citizenship for no good reason.

A few favorites from over the last year. You can view the set here.
Had a really great 28th birthday yesterday - my brother, Nick, and my sister, Mandy, came to Ypsi to hang out with Erica and I. We ate chocolate-chocolate cake (my favorite) and also apple crisp.
Also, a really huge surprise was Amanda and I hit our kickstarter goal for Project Pedal! What a perfect day to have that happen.
And *ahem* yes, I did miss one candle the first time I tried blowing them out on my cake - but luckily, there was the apple crisp to try next. Does that count?
I am so happy that Mike hit his fundraising goal, on his birthday no less! So excited to see the film getting one step closer to release.
Tomorrow is going to be fun.

Remembrance Day in Canada’s capital. What what.
Too bad I don’t have press credentials. :(
My MRI wasn’t that bad. Of all the research I did on the procedure, the one thing I never read about was the obscene amount of noise the machine makes. According to this website, the sound I posted is the localizer scan to set the machine up to scan the right area. Even with the noise-canceling headphones it sounded like I was standing next to a jackhammer. And strangely enough, while each scan had its own distinct sound (I think I had four or five done), you kind of got used to it after a while. The whole procedure was only about 15 minutes long and I was out of the hospital in 40 minutes. I was surprised.
That feeling
You know that feeling you get after stepping off the bus/train/plane in a different city? The moment when you get your bearings and set off on something outside of the daily norm?
Yeah, that’s the feeling I’m craving right now. Fuck retail. I need a break.
Gary: omg, i just realized that bags are my shoes. D:
Dorothy: what
Gary: you know how people buy like bajillions of pairs of shoes?
Gary: yeah, i'm like that but with bags.
Gary: backpacks, messenger bags.
Dorothy: lol ohh
Gary: BAGS ARE THE NEW SHOES
I work at Pet Valu. They have this “Building Blocks” training program. It entails me looking through their giant binder, filling out assignment packages, studying and writing tests. I kind of feel like I’m back in school…just learning about animal nutrition.
