You guys! I love P-Mag’s birthday week! I’ve been catching up on all the outstanding posts from the last few days, in between a totally crazy work week and not quite enough sleep. I’d also like to share with you one of the wonders of the modern world: Trader Joe’s s’mores ice cream sandwiches. I’ve polished off two boxes of them in a week. I think I have a problem.
Come on in, get comfy, and tell us about something awesome or delicious, or awesomely delicious.

Guise, guise! Allow me to introduce to you a dashing young singer-songwriter AND MUSTN’T FORGET, AN ECSTATIC DANCER, who is being described as a mix of Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and Patrick Wolf. This is Gabriel Bruce’s brand new video.
(TW: the song is uplifting and the video is fantastic IMO, but the imagery is slightly disturbing, as he appears to be gravely wounded.)
Another song I like:
Totally freaking me out right now
Holy hell! Can not unsee!
I am getting increasingly frustrated with people who aren’t voting because all politicians are essentially the same and it won’t matter anyway.
YES IT WILL! THIS IS DOUBLY TRUE IF YOU ARE A WOMAN.
Some friends say they want to vote third party, but it still won’t make a difference. It will if you vote enough.
I just can’t even anymore.
In other news, I’m watching Vampire Diaries and having a Friday night in. Go me.
Yesterday was my last day in my current job and tomorrow I emigrate.
So today, I must pack ALL THE THINGS.
The excitement! Good luck with All The Things.
Thank you:)
This was me earlier but now I am watching the West Wing. Bliss.

Good Luck! Hopefully your new place will be extra awesome and moving will be as stress free as possible.
Thank you!
The good news is I’m mostly packed and my boyfriend has found us a place to live as of 2 hours ago:) whoop!
Yay, good luck!
Whoo good luck! I hope your packing/moving goes as effortlessly and stressfree as possible. :)
Thank you! Packing as done as it can be, now going to get ready for leaving drinks :)
Today was an orange day. I got a new orange office chair at work, wore my fab new orange coat to said work and bought a see-through orange macbook case I’ve been lusting after for ages. Orange.
I am also just exhausted this week. Broken up sleep cause one kitty had surgery and neither of the two of them are sleeping right therefor neither am I.
M’kay. I’m going to sleep before I whine anymore. Trying to think calm happy orange thoughts instead of whiny resentful ones.
I am absolutely enraged. This is what Canadians call a ‘tenpercenter’. It’s a taxpayer funded flyer sent out by federal members of parliament. It is completely real. I cannot believe these assholes have a majority government.
I am about to post on her FB page (though I’m sure it won’t last long). She mentions she is celebrating the International Day of Girls…. same MP who also voted in favour of opening up the definition of ‘personhood’.
Can someone help me decide what to say? I want to be calm and scathing, but right now I’m just angry and sputtering.
ETA: How come the picture isn’t showing up? I inserted it into the editor?
Ohhhhh, wow. That is some terrible and frightening stuff. Those are some DAMN inflammatory questions, too. Let’e rephrase them: Do YOU believe that we shouldn’t treat people with compassion, that we shouldn’t help those in need, that we shouldn’t kick people while they are done? If so, you know who to vote for.
I’ve been having problems with pictures/gifs not inserting (even though I DID insert them) as well. I also don’t have the normal tool bar thingy on top of the comment box or the option to go to HTML. I think we broke it.
I’ve edited it now – I don’t know if I’m doing anything different to you or if the magical moderator powers are kicking in.
You could try using the HTML directly:

Holy hell. I agree with @duckdeux that rephrasing the question might get that punch you want.
Awesome thing: I went to archery tonight- the first time I’ve used a bow since summer camp as a kid- and I didn’t suck! At no time did I hit the center but I did hit the outer yellow just outside the middle. Happy times.
Ieh! Archery is so cool!
A bit of humor for all the folks with poor eyesight. While looking for the “Turn the Lights Off” music video, I stumbled on this little gem:

BWAHAHAHA. So funny. I can relate to this so much.
I heard that Trader Joe’s pumpkin doughnut mix is really good. I love there Curry simmer sauce!!
