May 11, 2013    Apollo Ghosts   Ugh  

Apollo Ghosts’ final show was last night!  Which was a tremendous show but also made me feel weird and sad.

Favourite parts:

  • Day of Glory flag + Apollo Ghosts cape
  • Adrian Teacher dedicating Land of the Morning Calm to Amanda
  • Jarrett talking about how Apollo Ghosts are still his favourite band
  • That guy from CiTR’s excellent performance of Why Can’t I be the Man On-Stage?  And also throwing out home made AG patches into the audience.
  • During the B-Lines set, when Ryan spit on Chris-a-riffic and they were both so happy about it (I don’t think I have ever seen that guy smile on stage, pretty great)
  • Dobermans sing-a-long
  • When my glasses were knocked from my face into the pit and I miraculously found them seconds later, unharmed
  • When Adrian Teacher came down at the end to give the audience a hug

Anyhoop, it was a really nice show, but also the end, which is sad.  I was thinking about how this year will be my first Music Waste without AG, but at least there are side projects (Gal Gracen, Tough Age).

New Hyperbole and a Half!

Very rarely do you hear about the effects of depression from a super pretty blonde girl who is not only smart but also hilarious - that may sound stupid but I think this will make people more aware that depression really can happen to anyone. 

And that it is so common, yet most of the time we’re so unequipped to handle it when it’s happening, either in ourselves or in our friends/family/loved ones, because it isn’t talked about enough.  Which is why it’s especially great when someone makes something like this, that is going to be relatable to a lot of people! Ugh, I can’t even articulate how much I love this.

queensassyofthefatties:

Lewis’s law is an observation she made in 2012 that states “the comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.” Lewis has written frequently about misogynist hate directed at women online.[8]

Can we just repeat that a few more times, 

“The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.”

“The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.”

Yesterday, I passed my skating skills test that allows me to go to the more advanced Raw Meat classes! Woo! (Other than the part where I fell during my 25 in 5,) it went pretty well (I still got 19 laps, good enough!). 
So today to celebrate I got some outdoor wheels and new laces. I love my Poison hybrid wheels but these Radar wheels go a lot smoother on the roads around my house.
