Rationally I know there isn’t inherently anything wrong with it, I’ve just always had a weird thing about loose human hair. Like when people clump up wet hair on the side of the shower it makes me gag a little bit. (I do think more people find that more off putting than a decorative hair wreath but I digress.) maybe…

Love these ladies. I wish I could find a download of their cover of Red Dirt Girl, it gives me all the feelings.

I remember as a kid going to our city’s local Prairie Life Historical Reenactment Park and Restaurant and Spa (well, just the first two things). Most of the homes and buildings were real heritage buildings and some had truly creepy ghost stories associated with them. For some reason the thing that freaked me out the…

I’m 28, so right in the middle of most millennial ranges, and I really only became a reasonably adept cook in the last two years. My dad was the primary cook growing up (mainly a lot of stir fry, spaghetti and meat sauce, and pork chops) and he would probably get a kick out of young people talking about batch cooking…

Oh god, I would die. I am a verified Egg Hater (although I can tolerate a poached egg if needed) and every time I see some munching on a hard boiled egg I just want to gag. It’s one of the few foods that I am respulsed by. But I do respect people making their own, it used to drive me nuts when my friend/coworker would…

Urgh... love, not life!

It irks me that people are so miffed why a previously regular-ish person (as in not born royalty) would basically have to become a whole new person once they marry in. Every aspect of their lives is hyper-controlled and they take privacy dead seriously. I mean, the royal family cut QEII’s nanny out TO HER GRAVE after…

As a non-horror fan I was inspired to watch this movie thanks to my life of John Krasinski + Emily Blunt and the fact that they were adamant about hiring a deaf actress to portray their daughter. I really enjoyed this film, and since I’m not really into the genre I won’t try to say that it’s not a horror movie, but I…

Evans is definitely number one! His interview with Seth Meyers where he talks about how he cried on the first day of the school year for several consecutive years (as well as being dropped off at day camp) is the most wonderful and wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. It also resonates with me deeply as someone who has…

A YouTuber I follow filmed his DNA results - adopted from South Korea, but his results showed primarily Japanese/Chinese ancestry. You could tell it was pretty shocking for him. I’ve been on the fence about doing it - I think it would be cool because my family comes from opposite sides of the planet - but I’m also a…

Hot damn! It’s been a long while since I’ve been so sucked into an episode of television, honestly. Such a beautiful balance of the usual Holt/Jake dynamic with SKB’s positively unsettling guest spot. As someone who hasn’t seen much of his work (I *very intentionally* avoid This is Us) I am happy to finally see what…

I just finished reading an article about a woman who will be giving a talk at a university in ottawa about how immigration is an act of ethnocide against European-Canadians (her terminology). It made me feel really angry and frustrated and sad. Watching this trailer reminded me of how brave people are to openly…

I also felt strongly for Cameron. In reality, if you have a friend pushing you to do things that make you incredibly uncomfortable and it ends with you kicking your dad’s expensive car out the window you probably won’t be happily skipping off to take responsibility because you’re so grateful for the experience of…

My parents didn’t really explicitly ban much, because neither were particularly with it in terms of what was popular - except for The Simpsons. More my mom than anything, and purely from hearing second hand that it was bad. My best friend’s family loved it and whenever I saw it at their house her mom always made me…

My grandfather, whose receding hairline was noticeable as a young man in the navy during WWII, did not free himself from his last ten combover strands until his mid-80s. A generational thing, maybe, but anyway... I am definitely pro-bald. You’ve got more to work with than hair!

I did feel a bit bad that his win will probably be paired up with that for a while. I am a massive fan of his work, I really love listening to his interviews because he always has such incredibly thoughtful and profound things to say about his work and film making. After visiting his exhibit at the AGO in Toronto I…

Oh man, I really relate to this! I was single for five years speckled with hook ups of varying shittyness and a couple dudes who lasted a few weeks. I am generally the rejected one in dating situations, and in sum I’d say that period was a mixed bag. On one hand, I often felt lonely and inadequate. On the other, I got…

Adam Levine is just one of those phenomenon I have just accepted I will never understand, along with the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and Snapchat.

Yes... I was a little bit puzzled to see that this is something that is being attributed as a “white parent” thing when I know plenty of non-white millenials who practically had to be pried out of their parent’s homes with the jaws of life, myself included, before marriage. Of course, intersectionality is important in…

I think this depends on the culture though. In Filipino families, for example, it is pretty common for people to live with their parents even when they are working professionals until they get married.
