This week in Baha'i news:

Number One Across in the Universal crossword (as seen in the Toronto Star, the internet and probably other places) this week = Baha'i! So awesome!

Why I am super in love with the internet: It is mean-funny!

The internet never fails to delight me with its delicious absurdity. There I said it, but why did I think it just now? By now I hope that everyone has seen the Miss Teen USA South Carolina question and answer debacle, but if not the video is right here through the magic of youtube.

But being able to see this stumble-tastic answer is not what makes the internet my friend, no no. This poor girl didn't think what she was saying was smart! Look into her face as she is talking and you will know that she starts off thinking she is not making sense and then slips into a self-preserving coma while her mouth finishes off her time. She could not have turned around and run away from Mario Lopez any faster!

What makes the internet great is that there is already a website dedicated to making fun of this video and it does so with flare. There aren't any maps? Meet MapsforUS.org, the map foundation. The insane randomness of the maps the posters dig up is what makes this funny because quoting "The Iraq" and "Such as" gets old. And it doesn't get old like Mario Lopez where it turns out good-looking but unable to find any credible work, it gets old like Dustin Diamond where you start to become wistful of the time when you thought it was cheesy funny but mostly just roll your eyes and hope it dies soon. Wow, that was way harsh on the Screechster, but seriously the guy has gone dirty, I hate when he's on TV now! The end.

I almost disowned my husband yesterday when he told me that he didn't know who Julie Andrews is - this man enjoys musicals and doesn't know the Julie?

Disowned!

If you've ever seen the movie Amelie you may know what I am talking about.

I've been surfing YouTube a lot lately and I've discovered that rather than the videos that are meant to be funny I prefer ones that were normal to the people posting them but really odd, interesting, amazing, remarkable to us, the viewers. If that makes sense.... When I see a video like that I think of it as if I were making a compilation tape for someone like the Glass Man, to give him proof that there are interesting sights outside your door, and that real people are much more intriguing and difficult to define than fictional ones.

I also much prefer reading the 'Oddly Enough' news much more than the regular news. I guess I just crave the different.

Horrifying mound of stuff!

Last Friday, I finally moved all of my stuff from my sublet apartment into Tim's apartment. The stuff filled the livingroom, and as soon as we got it all in I had to jump in the car to head to Ottawa for my friend's pirate scavenger hunt. So this was Tim's home for the weekend, AND this is what we have to look forward to tomorrow when we attempt to bring some order into our home.

First Post, what the hey!

What can I say... I've seen a ton of really great blogs that were all hosted on this site, so I've been drawn over to the world of blogger and I'm giving it a go. I like how easy it is to post photos here, which is what I would like to do at least once a post from now on. I have nothing to lose considering I've been ignoring my poor livejournal since February. What can you do?

Today, I made a trip down to the bux because last night, for some reason, I put the keys to the bathroom fixtures (to open the toilet paper/paper towel containers) in my pocket when I cleaned the bathrooms, and they kind of needed them today because of the whole needing to clean the bathrooms again thing.

I got a drink for my walk home (Mmmm... Iced lactaid tazo chai... ) and I saw a long-lost co-worker who had just returned from the other side of the country where she was doing cadet training! What can be better than that? Well, that called for a self-portrait on the way home, as I'm trying to do that more. I'm rocking the red bandana that I found for the purpose of the Ottawa pirate adventure, but now I like it for everyday. Everyday pirating :)
