This Hour Has 22 Minutes
Went on a lab outing with Mike’s lab tonight to go see This Hour Has 22 Minutes. It was a blast.
Oh pixel art, how I missed you
I’m designing a shirt for a post-exam adventure that my class is having after out Pathology-Immunology-Microbiology exam. I figured that since the powers that be are decided that it would be ingenious to switch to computer based exams, pixel art might be appropriate. I wish that we were printing in more than one colour, since it would be fun to colour these. I might do that anyways, just for my own fun.
PS I’m watching the Oscars. I hope Up wins everything.
Green tea, or is it 363C tea?
OK, so I’ve decided, based on some inspiration from Janet, that I am totally slacking in the photo world. I used to take so many pictures, then I think I got self conscious or something, who knows. But things are going to change. Starting with my breakfast. Not that my breakfast has changed, I just wanted to show off my mini oatcake and green tea in a Pantone mug. I sweat the other oatcakes looked better too. I ran out of chocolate for dipping, so this one just has some Nutella and peanut butter smeared on it.
I also wonder why all chewable vitamins taste the same. I bought some vitamin C a while back because it turns out that taking vitamin C helps you absorb iron better (so does alcohol for that matter, but vitamin C seemed a little bit more socially acceptable for the morning). Turns out that you can’t get vit C in non-chewable form, or at least not where I looked. You should be happy, hemoglobin, I love you enough to endure chalky pills (here’s hoping for 125!).
(Hemoglobin needed to donate blood is >125 g/L, normal ranges from 110 - something higher that I’ve never come close to)
A healthy dose of helping the world
I was lucky enough to see Dr. James Orbinski speak tonight. For those of you who are thinking “Who?” he is the former president of Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) and started Dignitas International, an organization that helps provide treatment and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. He also happens to be a Noble Prize winner (1999). And not to mention an amazing speaker.
Wilco!
I saw Wilco last night. The show was amazing! Mike and I also got a poster, we shall add this to our (growing) collection of screen printed posters. I’ll take a photo of them sometime. Wilco always has amazing, amazing posters. Check them out!
Bahamas opened, and he (plus drummer) was excellent too. Listen! (courtesy of CBC3)
Addiction
0/3 it’s an addiction and I’m not going to be any better for it. Though someone I know did win 100$ yesterday…
Ok Go Rube Goldberg music video
I must say, this is an impressive music video! I’m a sucker for Rube Goldberg machines. I made one once in a summer camp. There was a neat Honda Goldberg commercial video a couple years ago.
Letterpressed Heart
I might be hard to resist getting this, since it’s both letterpress and anatomical. Not to mention just plain cute. This creation is by Etsy seller Roll & Tumble Press.
“New” camera
I meant to mention this forever ago, but I am now the proud owner of a Mamiya C33 TLR camera (christmas gift from Mike). I’ll be taking some photos with it soon just need to get past my big exam tomorrow. I’ve wanted a TLR for a long time (well, a functional one at least, the Brownie at the top of the page has been mine for six or seven years now) but I only found out recently that a local camera shop develops 120 film.
High-tech adventures
I’m posting this using my brand spanking new iPhone. My mom and I are equally geeking out, which is super awesome. Brenda and Moo are thoroughy enjoying my parents’ house, there’s just so much more space than the condo. They’ve also taken to suntanning under the incadecsent bulb (must be novel compared to all the compact fluorescent at my place)
