Sky view

Have you seen this new app they came out with? Well, it's probably been out for years, but I just learned about it. It's a phone app where you point your device at the sky, and it maps out constilations for you, even identifies space junk and which space endeavour it was from. 

We were rocking it around the campfire in Salmon Arm, it was just the coolest thing. Amazing. Would have completely changed the astrology class I took in college. If stars are your thing, check this out. 

Spread the loves

Anyone who has me on Facebook is aware how much I overuse the "like" button, but it represents real life, I like everything. Newly added recently is a "love" button, along with a "sad" "angry" "wow" "haha". 

But when is it socially appropriate to use the "love" button? Should it be based on a reflection of how close you are to that person in real life? As in, "I haven't seen Jenn since high school and she just LOVED this picture of our daughter, creeeppppyy" Sometimes before I hit the "love" button, I evaluate how close I feel to that person. Will they misinterpret my love? Will they be non-accepting of my love? I always feel so honoured when someone LOVES my stuff. Spread the love people. 

Foams and fogurt

Of the things I'll miss when I change stages in my life, nights like tonight will make the list. 

Post Judo bubble bath. That's coconut yogurt with blueberry-cicles, and it's delish. Don't believe the carton's expiry date on this one. I bought it back when I was shopping for my grandparents to stay with me. For my birthday. In June. The lid says "June 10/16" but it took me this long to work up the courage to try it. Now the verdict it still out you might say, we shall see how I feel tomorrow, but so far so good. 

Hard to say if I would eventually trade that in for help into this dress, which took an honest 10 minutes and all the yoga flexibility I could muster. 

Someone to negotiate into all my least favourite household chores might sway the vote. But I'm told there's some downsides to living with a sig nif. What's your deal breakers? Comment on my post.

Overseas text

Sometimes when I haven't blogged for a while I wonder if nothing exciting has happened to me, or I'm just not feeling inspired. Tonight I don't know if it was more exciting getting an overseas text at 2am, or that I was actually awake to read it. Don't give me too much credit, I had a nap earlier that got out of hand. Has this happened to you though? The text, not the nap...

It's also worth mentioning I was watching Pink do a cover of Cindy Lauper's "Time after time" when I got the "one more time" text, so naturally, I was tripping balls. So I did what anyone in my generation would do, and I googled it. Of course it did not disappoint. 

Oh! So this is fun! I get scroll to my country code and see where my text is from...

49 is Germany! Now keep in mind, as someone who hasn't done much travelling...ok, that's an understatement. I'ver never left the continent, so the people I know abroad are limited to people I know from here, who have for whatever reason, travelled there. This is a select few, in a select few places. 

Poland!!! Nope. I know nobody. And I'm scared shitless to text them back, because gawd knows what that will cost me on my phone bill. But this document, secret intelligence? Treasure map? The secret of life? With my luck, some poor Polish kid got confused sending their homework for a group project, but dude, that's pretty confused! Also, it is 11:34am on a Saturday there, I googled that too. Plan your time better my little confused friend. Rock on all weekend and do all your homework Sunday night like the C average kid you can be! 

Cool dog

Now I've officially seen everything...

TV Society

I got a call while I'm on vacation from my internet service provider offering me a good deal on TV service. I told him I don't have tv service and he laughed at me. Full on cackled. "Well when you do sign up...blah blah blah" Why is it a given that I'll soon get cable vision? 

That night I was watching a few consecutive episodes of Bones on Netflix. After a couple, before it started the next episode, it asked me if I was still watching, and I had to click "yes" for it to continue. Because if I was binge watching and I fell asleep, it would turn off for me. How curteous! 

In unrelated news, I have a couple concerns about our societies reliance on TV...

20,000 Hits

I kept waiting for my blog to hit 20,000 hits so I could celebrate. And by celebrate I mean sing YOUR praises for making this so fun for me. When I write a blog post and less than 5 people read it, it tends to take away from it a little. Not that those 5 people aren't important, thanks Grams, but when 200 people read what I write, it feels impactful. What kind of impact you say? Not much. I'm happy if I make someone laugh on their morning commute. It's you that make it all worth while. When I'm at a friends house party (rare these days I'll admit) and someone says, "I love your blog!" it makes me feel pretty damn good. I'll always say "Do you read my blog? Oh, well I think I'm pretty darn witty..here look me up!"

I see you.
