Animation checklist

Found this quiz on FaceBook and my score is extremely low for someone who considers herself an anime fan. I only got 25/90. If it were any lower I'd be too embarrassed to mention my score. Instead, I will leave this here and treat it like a check list. On the plus side, I have all this new animation to check out - WOOT!

Questionable Content

http://www.questionablecontent.net/

Today's strip, even though it is written and drawn by a guest artists and not the usual Jeph Jacques, is absolutely lovely. Just awesome. I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who feel they have a right to tell Jeph HOW to write his own comic strip. Part of me loves it when the answers/ comebacks are as snarky as this one. I hope the person who made that strip comment to Jeph understands that he can write his comic in any way he damn well pleases. Ha!

Spreading my love for CKCU

If you like community radio, PLEASE consider giving a donation to CKCU - Carlton's university radio station:

https://www.ckcufm.com/secure/pled…

I admit a bit of bias on my part, I have friends who have or are currently hosting shows but also, Sunday morning has one of the BEST line-ups in radio programming I have ever heard: Aboriginal CKCU, An Indian Morning, Music from the Glenn and This Island Earth (and my friends aren't even hosting these shows!). Any amount will be accepted, tax receipts for donations $25 and above and of course there are perks if you give larger amounts.

Program schedule:

My fave show:

(no subject)

Once upon a time I was overjoyed at finding a pack of SweeTarts in my nap-sack because I was having a craving for sweets. Once I ate a whole pack of SweeTarts in one sitting. My teeth didn't like it, but my tongue did. The End.

Words to live by

When life is throwing you curve-balls and/ or the director of your life is not yelling "Cut!" to re-take the last scene, this mantra might help:

"I don't have to like it, I just have to survive it."

Bicycling

Friends, I am considering starting to ride my bicycle to work a couple times a week but I would like advice before I begin. Anyone with advice or words of encouragement are welcome to comment.

Thanks in advance for your help!

FWIW: I think what I have is a hybrid mountain bike, so the frame is a bit on the heavy side. I have a helmet and a bell (although my helmet is over 10 years old now, so I think I will get a new one).
There is a long stretch of bike path available to me (but I don't actually know if it's best to use it or not). I am thinking of keeping an extra set of clothes at work for the extra sweaty days. I think the trip is approx. 14km one way. add another 3km if I am dropping the kid off at daycare.

At the Supermarket yesterday

I purchased a pomegranite. Peanut looked at me and said dramatically: "No mom! I don't want you to stay in the underworld forever!"


Have I mentioned recently how much I love my daughter? :D


Irrelevant update: I am now almost completely done watching Season1 of Adventure Time.
