Michelangelo probably ate brains for breakfast

Holy crap, guys. It's almost July! And I have so much stuff to do between now and the end of July that just thinking about it makes my anus clench in a perpetual cramp.

Either way you look at it, it's not pleasant.

On a somewhat brighter note, I've pretty much finished the Biology portion of my pre-requisites for the paramedic program this fall, so I'm halfway there. Sort of. Fact is, this chemistry is kicking my butt. I almost enjoyed biology, and even learned a few things. Chemistry? Not so much. I mean, who really cares what happens when you mix 4F + 3(CO)2? Not me. And what's worse is I'm pretty darn sure I don't need to know one iota of this in order to be a paramedic. I have now spent the better part of three days trying to figure out how to balance chemical equations, and I can now finally say that I UNDERSTAND!!! And now I also understand why I should have taken Grade 11 chemistry BEFORE Grade 12.

And then I found out that Michelangelo has been painting brains on ceilings in Italy, in an effort to speak the truth about God and the heavens, and now I really think I need to start painting instead of studying stupid chemistry so that I too can become famous for painting famous paintings on famous ceilings, and THEN, centuries later, becoming famous ALL OVER AGAIN for actually painting camouflaged brains within the paintings! How cool would that be, guys??? Sneaky Michelangelo.




But then again, I'd probably most definitely be put away forever and ever, because seriously? That is just really weird, man. What.The.Hell was wrong with Mikey? I mean, here is is, painting God on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and he decides to put a brain into God's face and neck? WHO DOES THAT?!

It's kind of like a Renaissance Where's Waldo.



I should probably just go study.

We're gearing up for Thanksgiving here in the cold North, which is also called Canada, eh. Our Thanksgiving happens in October, unlike the Thanksgiving in the States, which happens right before Christmas, which doesn't make much sense, if you ask me (which you didn't, I realize), because then it means you overdose on turkey and the tryptophan, and end up splayed on momma's couch for a month, tongue lolling, drool pooling around your armpit. Nice image. We're celebrating this Thanksgiving on Sunday, although it actually occurs on Monday, because having it on Sunday gives us Monday to recuperate from -- you guessed it -- the turkey dinner. We're going to have a big turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, roast carrots, roast onions, and probably some brussels sprouts, parsnip or rutabaga (although everyone around here erroneously calls it turnip, which really confused me for years and years until I grew a brain), and homemade dessert. Yes, folks, that's right. Em an

Just call me a dwarf

I realize it's been almost a month since I last posted, which is a record, guys. I also have continued getting paid for my blog, which just makes me feel kind of crazy happy instead of guilty, because I'm an awful human being. So, what have I been doing all this time while you've continued checking this blog, wondering if I've posted today, and then finding out that, once again, I haven't, and then you think about maybe emailing me to find out if I'm okay, but you don't because you end up forgetting, which would pretty much be the story of my life.  Anyway, this is what I've done this past month, shortened for your reading ease: Worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, started Grade 12 Chemistry, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, worked, w

A resplendent Saturday dinner. Photo taken with my brand new Canon XSi Beefaroni, canned corn, and leftover bacon. Ohh yeaah. Doesn't this shot, not to mention this entire meal, remind you of The Pioneer Woman ? Please, hold your applause. Really, it's not necessary. You'll only embarrass me. And no, we did not have guests. Just us chickens. Next episode: Mary sitting on the toilet, groaning endlessly.
