Agrarian Revolt!

Some things I had to share:

-Chances are you've seen LOLcats. Those cats captioned with Impact with a thick black stroke. I think I've found my favourite. It's like a nerd sandwich.


-I think I will never join Facebook. Even though my HSLM, my husband, and countless other friends are on it, I'm never, ever signing up. Related to that, CBC thinks they've found the next hot thing to engage Canada's politically apathetic youth: starting a group on Facebook. It's Canada's Wishlist and it's asking people for their fondest wishes and CBC will broadcast it on Canada Day. The top groups according to the Globe article? Abolish abortion, more religion, keep abortion, and lower tuition. Clearly the kooks and SU kids are on Facebook. Besides the sheer lunacy of this contest, I was caught by a quote in the article.

The service has made such inroads among Canadians that a young person who isn't on Facebook is, more likely than not, a deliberate holdout, besieged like a peasant refusing to convert to a newly declared state religion. To them, this must seem a final insult: Join Facebook, or Shelagh Rogers will never hear your wish!

That's me, a besiged peasant, holding out for an agrarian revolt.

-Miss Vicki's chips seem to have a new flavour: Vintage Cheddar and Red Onion. Every time I see a package, I think back to that time at the Gauntlet where we had free samples of Onion and Cheese Pringles. At first it was great since it was free chips and I had an empty stomach. But by around the second week, it was horrid. You would be hungry and cheap, thus you would rip open a new container. By the second chip you'd realize what a mistake it was. Ugh.

-Last, I've just finished a book that combines a) dragons and b) Napoleonic war. No wait, come back it's not that ludicrous. Okay, it might be but it's well written and a pretty awesome concept. I don't want to spoil the last quarter of the book, but let's just say it's unthinkable what Napoleon does with the dragons. I think this book will only be loved by me and Nicole. How sad.
