Come with me on a journey through time and space...
to last Wednesday.
usually I wouldn't go blogging something from last week but I was seriously distraught when my phone decided to just freeze on me and cause all the video I'd been diligently taking all day disappear. seriously it's a lot of work trying to make videos about what is otherwise a pretty boring day going from class to class and hey maybe it's not all that interesting after all but the videos somehow showed up on my phone again (THANK YOU APPLE GODS) so here we go:
in case you forgot the reason I decided to vlog all day in the first place was because I was in a crabby mood and needed to convey it with my monotone voice and shifty eyes
(also, my stupid faces in the stills for the videos -wow)
I'm also not sure why I'm so flushed in this video?
(also I don't like riding in strange vehicles with people I don't know, classmate or not I'm just a jerk like that)
coincidentally after class she and I went to go get our rides back to campus and he had left without us (thanks guy), but luckily another very nice classmate was kind enough to give us a lift back (thanks guy!).
I was going to make some commentary to go with the rest of these but I've had a bowl of Vietnamese curry soup sitting next to me for five minutes while I work on this post and frankly I'm hungry, so enjoy:
I need moar weekend.
Hip Hop Sunday #17 - A Tribe Called Quest - Find A Way
The Life and Times of A Tribe Called Quest is coming to so since I'm excited about it here's some ATQC for HHS.
also miracle of miracles all that vlogging video I thought I lost the other day magically reappeared on my phone so you'll be getting some backlogged vloggin' later today.
Happy, happy Hip Hop Sunday
Bring on the weekend
went out to Sukothai with Komus and Shawna last night. Komus has been booked to play a bunch of shows in Australia and is gone for three weeks and we're all green with envy. I didn't finish my pad thai (though it was great, there was just a lot of it) and Tyrone had the 10 spicy and got sweat in his facial hair (gross) and afterward we came back here and made way too many snacks and drank a bunch of home-made wine.
Today is going to consist of not showering till later, playing Twilight Princess and going to this tonight:
New girl crush: Lana Del Ray
look at her, seriously
also first five second of this video reminds me of LOTR for some reason?
last night as I was curled right up against Tyrone to try and steal as much of his body heat in our ice-cold bed I realized that I've been crabby lately because I've been freezing, which I know I've mentioned before but I finally realized that this is the single reason I'm running around acting like this:
(Google image search 'Gordon Ramsay yelling' for some lulz and a lot of his scary face)
okay it's nearly 11am time to toss on some clothes and go for a crazy-lady run and then come home and attempt to get some schoolwork done because I have about a million things on my plate right now and like a woman school should always first. that was lame. (not) sorry.
happy Friday ya hosers!
crabtacular day #2
I am not feeling well and was growing my sorrows in a bowl of Campbell's chicken noodle soup (my favourite) while trying not to get hypothermia in our icebox apartment and I took like six videos I was going to blog today and as I was transferring them into iPhoto my phone crashed and I lost them all, plus all the pictures and videos I was uploading from this weekend. I'm genuinely upset by this, I spent a lot of time taking silly videos and basically making myself cheer up throughout the length of my not-that-great day and they're lost somewhere. fml.
and don't you throw a "haha I thought iPhones never screw up" in my face because they're technology and they're not perfect and it happens but dammit that was my whole post for today and now you guys aren't getting another one because I think I have a fever or something and need to go lie down and fume and/or go to sleep.
this is how I feel right now:
I'm going to take some Aspirin and lie down and hope things are better when I get up. gaaaaaah.
crabtacular
is the name of today.
I blame it on the fact that I was having this ridiculous dream about being at the Bass Invaders Vilify show (which I am not going to I am going to this instead) and working the food tent in exchange for a free slice of pizza because slices were five dollars each which is highway robbery. Grant if you ever sell pizza at exorbitant costs at your shows count me out okay? anyway I was having this dream and my phone started ringing and I dashed up to answer it thinking it might be important and it was a spam phone call about cruise ships or something. awesome.
in case you didn't know this is my ringtone, aren't you jealous you didn't think of it?
this is probably one of the best scenes in the movie fyi.
the apartment is also insanely cold today. I don't mine it being ten degrees outside because I can bundle up but I feel like an idiot wearing my outside jacket inside and I can't sit under a blanket at the computer because that doesn't help keep my fingers warm while I type does it? also my toes are cold.
apparently today for my History of Winnipeg class we are going on the General Strike Tour which means we will be shuttling around to various parts of the city and my prof is going to tell us about the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike which sounds interesting but means I have to be outside a lot which sucks.
I have to go get my stuff together for class, I'm on campus will 9pm tonight. bleh.
maybe if you're lucky I'll do some vlogging for you while I'm out and about.
I want to be her in this photo
we are watching Charade and I am learning a thing or two about 60's marriage which is that most people stay married and ignore their unhappiness if the guy is rich and you can buy all the new season's clothes, unless you're Audrey Hepburn who is getting a divorce but doesn't have to because her husband gets murdered. dodged that bullet, didn't she.Audrey Hepburn is probably the prettiest woman ever and her Transatlantic accent makes me swoon. I am mildly obsessed with Transalantic accents, have you noticed? sometimes I fantasize about learning to speak with one and adopting some ridiculous life somewhere else, but where?
maybe that's the only thing stopping me.
besides Tyrone, school, my family, money, and the fact that I don't know how to mimic a Transatlantic accent and it's not the 60s.
now Audrey is talking to a guy in a fancy office. you know it's fancy because it has a piece of marble as a shelf on the radiator.
we do that in our apartment but it's just with glass.
things aren't nearly as fancy these days.
quick post today
since I slept all day now I am going to campus to catch up on the readings I have due tomorrow and hopefully not to sit on my iPad until class starts tonight at 6pm so instead I'll leave you with these words of wisdom:
never underestimate the power of the 'stache
Hip Hop Sunday #16 - Dead Prez - Hip Hop
feelin' kinda down today
going to go get out and run some errands with the person I love
(Tyrone, silly, though I love you too)
happy Hip Hop Sunday
Rob Brydon knows best
my advice for you today is this: don't clean while wearing a sweater. I did a bunch of running around this afternoon buying snacks for yet another wine party and realized the apartment is a sty and did a crazy whirlwind clean while listening to the entire first Protomen album (listen to them their stuff is like sex for your ears) and now I'm kind of all frazzled-looking and my hair is crazy cat woman-esque and I'm just going to throw one of those sloppy beanie-type hats on tonight and act like it's the look I was going for the whole time. also I'm sweaty.
should I shower again today? yes or no? like you care.
Tyrone was out having a man-date with @morleyrigged and @ckomus they were having a 'jam sesh' which is where Komus DJs and Tyrone and Morley do VJ stuff to match. it's actually really neat and I don't know how to do it at all. in case you didn't know Tyrone and Morley are Union Union and they do really sweet VJ stuff. Komus is a kickass DJ but you knew that already.
while Tyrone was out I went on an adventure and had a latte at the new Stella's in the Buhler Centre downtown with Will and he bought me these omg:
he got me the shark and I'm basically dying over this. I wish I could get my hands on some helium because how awesome would this be to be 'swimming' around the apartment tonight while we're all blasted on wine or anytime really?
also here is a text conversation I just had:
Tyrone: I'm missing mah baby
Alyson: MISSINGYOUGUY
I'm going to go play Super Mario RPG
