So we were on Facebook chat

My friend: Hello Ms. Purple!
Me: purple?!
Me: what does purple have to do with anything?
Him: It's a random color, that's all!
Me: uhhh
Me: okay then
Him: You can call me Mr. Black or any other color
Me: so we're color people now?
Him: yes, this is Avatar
Me: lovely
Me: Avatar as in The Last Airbender?
Him: no, the freaking Spielberg movie
Him: they're all blue!
Me: right right right
Me: but we would be from a different planet
Me: because we're not blue
Him: don't get into details
Me: ...

Common peoples of the earth: please address my esteemed self as "Miss Purple" (because as of now I am young and unmarried) and my glorified friend as Sir Orange.

Fresh Bread

I went to a bakery today and bought a baguette.

It tastes SO MUCH BETTER than supermarket bread. Now, I suppose that would go without saying, but I sort of forgot how good a fresh bakery baguette is. Last time I ate one of these was a few months ago at least. Perhaps not since Boston.

So, here are a few steps to the location of one subspecies of Afternoonus Awesomus:

1. Go to a bakery.

2. Buy a fresh baguette.

3. Eat it while wasting time on YouTube and Facebook or watching Doctor Who.

Cheers!

Bye Bye Ponds

(If you know which Doctor Who episode the title is kind of from, you are awesome. If you don't, you are awesome too.)

Okay, I'm posting this here because I think my Facebook friends will kill me if they see another Doctor Who-related status. Yeah, I'm pretty bad with that.

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill have wrapped up filming Doctor Who. I'm sad. Ish. But I don't think they're finished until we get to see them go. So HA, Ponds, you're not done yet. I just hope neither Amy nor Rory dies...which currently seems very plausible.

(Sorry to any non-Whovians. I had to.)

Kony 2012

We live in the age of connection, the age of knowledge, the age of internet. It's a strange thing, how much we know about people thousands of miles away.

This video tells the story of Joseph Kony. Heard of him? Probably not. However, he's number one on the International Criminal Court's Worst Criminal list. Why? He abducts children and forces them to do what he says. He forces them to kill, sometimes even to murder their parents. They become soldiers and slaves.

So why has no one done anything? Because no one knows. But we're in the age of internet. I'm writing this blog post and I've already shared the video on Facebook. It's easy to spread the word. And that's exactly what we need.
