Mollusks

So Beautiful
I think you should all appreciate mollusks. They are absolutely fantabulous.They even have a pretty unknown mollusk tuft, which is one of the many reasons as to why they are so fantabulous. Here is a mollusk.

Hi Guys

Why?
Hello. I thought I would say hello to you all. I thought you should know that there's an acid in pineapples that eats your skin a bit as you chew on it. So... the question is: who's eating who? Are you eating the pineapple or is the pineapple eating you? Here's a creepy picture to help you think about this terrifying topic. Is this the unexpected apocalypse nobody is expecting?

The Forever Train

It's pretty cool, but I think you should watch behind the scenes too, especially if you like youtubers like Dan and Phil or crabstickz. I think this is the right one...

Unwind

Nice Cover. Not overly well written.
Disclaimer: I'm only on page 20, so there's a lot to learn. Overall, it's a pretty typical Dystopian novel. BYE. This is the cover.


Hi! So, for school, we're currently reading Dystopian books, and I really super wanted to read Fahrenheit 451 but there was only one copy, so I ended up with Unwind. So far, it's not bad, and basically it's about our world in the future where when you're 16, your parents can have you unwound. Unwinding is when they take all your organs and donate them, (obviously leaving you dead because your parents didn't like you enough to keep you alive.) 
 Some themes thus far are:
 -Hiding information from other people, (one of the main character's parents never tell him he is going to be unwound, and he only finds out through snooping)
-Fear (children who are going to be unwound are obviously terrified of the process, and children under the age of 16 never quite know if there organs are going to stay with them for the rest of their lives, and then the general public, who doesn't really like it all.)
-Rebellion (One of the main characters runs away in the dead of night and hitches a ride with a trucker, but his parents track him by his cellphone and find him. This leads us to... [insert drum-roll] 
-Control (nobody has privacy, anyone with a cellphone can be tracked, so this can ensure safety, and at the same time danger.)

BELLIES

This is one of my two cats. She is getting a bald stomach. I felt that the internet should be aware of this phenomenon, and be enlightened on it. Also, I figured out how to put pictures in a post, but it kind of only work at home.

Hi!

Hello there people who the majority of you I don't know! How are you? Really, aw that's nice. Well it could be worse. I hope this pre-fabricated currently one-way conversation is to your liking. If not, I tried my best. Anyway, I think you should be informed of the enchanting PROBOSCIS MONKEY, who is absolutely genius. Enjoy!

Things To Kill Time

1. Stare at the ceiling.
2. Go eat weird combinations of food.
3. Knit.
4. Read something, anything.
5. Watch an awesome British TV show about guys and cars and Reliant Robins. (Hint hint starts with a T.) Okay okay, it's called Topgear.
6. Dance awkwardly behind people's backs without them noticing. (This takes skill.)
7. Drink tea.
8. Surf the internet. (Congratulations, you already are!)
9. Count backwards from 993 and get insanely frustrated.
10. Find a cat and do yoga for cats with it.
11. Do yoga and avoid all the cats that want to join in.
12. Sew your curtains into interesting shapes.
13. Listen to fine music.
14. Find something else to do.

The Sherlock Musical

It's real. Really, truly positively real. Sadly, it's not a full musical, but it's pretty much as good as it gets. Also sadly, it's not actually Benidict and Martin playing Sherlock and Watson, but the guys playing them got the faces just right, as you can probably see.

Tofurky

So, over the holidays, which I hope weren't cold and dark if you live in Toronto, we got a Tofurky. Now, I know they have a reputation for being tiny, and they are. That's why we added lots of potatoes so it was fairly substantial. It's roughly the size of almost 3/4 of a cantaloupe, but it has yummy stuffing and about a liter of gravy. Plus, it came with a vegan cake and vacuum packed "Wishstix" which were quite interesting. Apparently this Tofurky has grown by 20% although it honestly wouldn't be much of a festive meal if it was so tiny. But the best part is that it comes with a post card from Tofurky land wishing you were there. I guess it's a yummy cult thing... 

Dystopia and Books

 I read the Hunger Games series. I didn't like it very much, however I like the concept of Dystopia and Utopia. I find this concept interesting because lots of the time, the setting is like our our current modern society is, but taking worst case scenario and taking it to the extreme. Like how our teacher said that there are hidden cameras hidden at certain intersections. In a Dystopia situation maybe there could be cameras everywhere, tracking people's actions and heck, maybe some drones as well. That could be an everyday thing we haven't really thought about in an extreme Dystopia situation. Here is the cover of the Hunger Games book.  (Remember, I didn't like it.)

EXTREMELY ANNOYED

I HAVE DECIDED TO USE ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS FONT IS NOT TO MY TASTE AND I DO NOT LIKE IT. I CHANGED IT TO SOMETHING PASSABLE EARLIER AND I'M TOO BOTHERED TO CHANGE IT BACK. THIS IS A PROBLEM.

Hey 2014

Well. Hey there 2014. And goodbye 2013, we shall never meet again. That's a sad way of looking at the new year... But anyway this winter is going to be cold, seeing as it already is. Off to make tea, bye! (I kind of have a feeling I'm going to keep being on the Internet but oh well. Virtual tea will have to do.)
