(((( massive hugs ))))

If you know me, you know I love cute things. Well I just hit the jackpot. It's called Perpetual Kid, and it is the most wonderful website I have ever encountered. It may be better than Fred Flare and ModCloth! That's MAH-JOR. This site has a bunch of the same stuff, actually, but it has MORE and BETTER stuff and it's like OMG I wish I could buy everything.
Headed to Houston in three days. If you have any apartment hunting advice, I'd love to have it before I go. Not looking forward to this at all :(.

I saw Public Enemies tonight. ( cut for spoilers ) 2/5 (until my Photobucket resets itself)
Unrelated question: does anyone have any idea why whenever I try to watch a You Tube video, the volume control is red with an X beside it? I've tried Googling this but all I've come up with is some new policy of You Tube's whereby they can disable the sound on any videos that the sound is not original to (e.g. Evanescence songs on bad Titanic fanvids). When You Tube does this, they also display a message indicating as much. I'm getting no sound across the board and no warning messages, so I know it's not this policy issue going into effect. WTF.

One of my coworkers just forwarded me this thing about things Canadians can brag about and #12 on the list was: Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany. LMFAO.
It also claims that "the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands with mitts on" which I don't know how accurate this is having never tried to carry a beer case in winter, but I'd like to think it's a nice forward thinking design element.

I've been reading LJ frequently. I just haven't posted anything. When I started this post, I had all sorts of things I wanted to say. Now...I can't put them into words...
Bah!

Now that I'm all settled back home, I'm ready to review The Young Victoria.
( The Young Victoria )
I hope to hear other's thoughts on this film, although it hasn't been released in the US so I don't know how many people have had a chance to see it. Say howdy if you did read the review, then I will feel better about spending the last hour writing it :).

Went back to Looking Glass Falls Friday night after work.
More pics here
Crabtree Falls pictures here
Went to Greenville, SC to go to the zoo there Saturday morning. It was hotter than hell, and swarms of children running into me. Not a lot of decent pics to show from the trip. I felt like I was melting into the asphalt, and I have *little* patience for unruly children.
More pics here.

The Toronto Star asked how gay is your neighbourhood? I link because I liked the interactive Google maps that chart census data about gay marriage and what neighbourhoods gay married couples live in (men, women). In my neighbourhood, there are 1-2 marriages between two women per 1000 (marriages or people, it doesn't clarify) but 0 marriages between two men. I'm genuinely shocked that there are no married same-sex couples on Queen West (but perhaps no one in that neighbourhood gets married, straight, gay, or otherwise?).

I'm inconsistent with doing this, but when I remember I try to do a mid-year summary of the best films I've seen thus far and since I'm unlikely to go to the movies again before Wednesday, I sat down to figure out what my Top Ten from January-June was.
AND THEN I REALISED THAT 17 Again WAS ON THAT LIST.
Haha, kill me now. I know that January-June is a tough period for movies, but oh my god this depresses me. ( cut for list, in case anyone cares )
In other news, I've been trying to do dishes but it seems I have no hot water. It sometimes goes in and out, I presume because of the water usage of the units around me, but it's kind of obnoxious since I shamefully admit I have not done dishes in like two weeks.
It's rainy and kind of depressing out and I'm having trouble motivating myself to do anything but sit on the internet. I have another dress to make, so I could do that. Speaking of which, I was reading my sewing machine manual and you can apparently do non-elastic smocking with it. It also says that you need fabric three times the width of your finished piece, so that's good to know.
ETA The Hurt Locker is only playing in four theatres but made more per theatre than Transformers did. Seriously, people, if you are living near one of those four theatres, go see it.
