I hate side walk cyclists, ESPECIALLY when they approach you from behind and don’t signal that they’re coming. You’re not aware of them until the moment they pass (usually w/only 6" of space separating you).

There’s this satirical show (from the CBC) called This is That, that did a skit on riderless bikes.

I never really got Carlin in my younger years, he was always that Grumpy Old Guy. Now that I’m getting older, he’s making a lot more sense to me! Bill Hicks is another comic I wish were alive, he had a similar quote on national pride: “I was over in Australia and everyone’s like ‘Are you proud to be American?’ And I…

One of my favourite quotes from George Carlin goes like this:

I’m of the opinion that Facebook is evil. If YOU and you alone want to bore the world with your life, that’s one thing, but do NOT drag other family members/friends along without their permission.

I don’t want to be accused of being one of those ppl that finds racism in everything, but I’ve always found North America’s obsession with promoting milk and milk products (through that stupid food pyramid) slightly racist. 75% of the world’s population is lactose intolerant, that number goes up to 90% among Asians…

I was listening to a local radio talk show about this very topic and some idiot caller said something to the effect of, “Well if you read the full transcript from the Globe and Mail, you’ll get a better understanding of where the judge was coming from.”

The difference b/t art and fashion:

In Canada we’re taught Quebec French, rather than “French” French, so I guess there’s a slight difference in vocabulary and pronunciation (like British English vs. North American English).

My Grade 2 teacher taped a boy to his chair b/c he wouldnt stop running around (she was doing it out of fun not to be mean). This same kid drew a moustache on himself on class picture day.

Are you Canadian? It’s been years since I took French, but I still remember how to say “May I go to the washroom?” (Puis-je aller aux toilettes). French teachers are a weird bunch, I once had a teacher get on my case b/c my pen was a wrong shade of blue (it was baby blue instead of dark).

How do ppl, especially men, not know that earbuds are the universal signal for “LEAVE ME ALONE!” I don’t crank my MP3 player to at least level 20, and blast NIN or Franz Ferdinand b/c I want to have a conversation!!!

I saw a documentary on the CBC on this very subject. One of the things that stuck out was how one royal family member would purposely grab handfuls of dead leaves from the flower pots and just sprinkle them on the floor, just to be a dick. Seriously why do we admire these useless, inbred parasites?

Wow, I’ve never been the recipient of an unwanted hug. I guess I owe it all to my Resting Bitch Face (I put Aubrey Plaza to shame).

This brings to mind a scene from What we do in the Shadows (a vampire mockumentary made by one half of the Flight of the Conchords duo, Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi). Vladislav (played by Clement) is asked why vampires prefer virgins and he replies with “Think of it like this, if you’re going to eat a sandwich,…

I have this recurring dream where I’m back in highschool and I need to use the washroom, only there’s always something wrong with it — either the doors are missing or the stall walls are too short, or the toilet suddenly floods.

Fellow Asian chick here. Beauty bloggers like Jen from Head to Toe and Candice Chen from the Makeup Box have been a blessing. (The former has monolids, the latter double eyelids; not sure what your eyelid situation is).

So J-Law is stealing older women’s hair as well as their roles?

This reminds me of a skit from This is That (a CBC satirical radio show) where they lampoon motivational speakers, the kind you hear at a TED Talk. The best line goes something like, “If I can dream it, I can live it. That’s when I came up with the concept of dreamalizing... How do you dreamlize? Well it’s simple.…

I’m in my 30s and people constantly ask me if I’ve finished school. I attribute my youthful looks to:
