Madness

I can't stop listening to Muse's new album "The 2nd Law". Among my favourites are "Madness", "Panic Station", "Survival", "Follow Me", and "Big Freeze". If you haven't heard any of this yet, be sure to check it out. I've been a Muse fan for years. They just keep getting better and better!

Another note on the "madness" title besides being the title of Muse song - I have, once again, attempted a large change. This one I hope to stick with - we all know how the "vegetarian" phase ended, and the "exercise" phase. This time I'm going vegan. Yes.

It seems crazy right? I love cheese, I love milk, I love all the delicious things. But honestly, the way these animals are treated is just so awful. I'm trying to avoid justifying my guilt for eating this overprocessed, overdone bullshit we modern people call food. Of course, I wouldn't be me if I wasn't lazy, so I'm probably going to be the world's worst vegan ever. For instance, just today, I've already failed. I had a lindt chocolate with my lunch (which was granola with almond milk, btw). But I insisted my latte be made with soy milk and no whip, and honestly it didn't taste much different than the regular one with cow's milk. I think it's just a matter of substitution, and utilizing foods I already love. Like organic peanut butter, granola, and hummus. Also, I'll be eating a lot more veggies and fruit, and probably less processed sugars. I can see this becoming an obsession - and I hope it does. If I start obsessing over it, maybe I'll keep it up.

If you have netflix, watch "Vegucation" - a documentary about some people who sign up for an experiment - go vegan for 6 weeks, see the difference it makes, see what factory farmed animals go through, see what our food is made of. See if you'll remain a vegan after 6 weeks. 

You see, giving up the meat won't be the hard part. It'll be the dairy and eggs, I think. But I can survive without animal products! I will endeavour to do so.

Just a Little Bit's Enough

We....have a foster kitten.

Yes. He is incredibly cute. We have named him Karma. I'm not sure why...we entertained several names for him for almost two hours and settled on this. I think it fits since he's come from a bad situation and ended up in a good one. Well, it was a misunderstood situation. We'll call it that. It wasn't bad per se. It just wasn't ideal.

Now, I work at a vet hospital, and of course the first thing I'm going to do is bring this little 3 month old in for his first vaccines, dewormer, and flea treatment. Upon examination, the dr told me that he's not even close to being three months old. He's actually only 6 weeks. Poor little baby! So we gave him his dewormer and isolated him from the other pets in hospital, as they are all vaccinated, and he isn't. He wasn't even old enough for his first "shots"! So he has to go back in two weeks to get those and his flea treatment, as he isn't old enough for that either! And then, one of my technician coworkers mentioned to me that he sneezed up a bunch of snot and stuff from his nose. Oh, shit.

Suddenly he's a viral kitten. LOCKDOWN!

I'm kidding. It really isn't that big of a deal. I spoke to his dr about it when there was a quiet moment and he suggested giving him some anti-viral jelly to keep him from sneezing and keep that nasty kitty herpes from developing into something more serious. He's going to be sneezy for the rest of his life, but it's stress induced, so as long as he doesn't suffer a lot of stress, he shouldn't show any symptoms. As far as contagious goes, he's really not. His dr suggested isolation, but did tell me that if he does have this viral herpes thing that most kittens are born with, the only way it can infect my two cats is if he sneezes a bunch of crap into their nose or mouth. It was to be direct - the virus can't survive for long outside the body. So that's good news. Of course, he's been playing with my cats all weekend, and I've been taking blurry photos of them together with my little point and shoot because it's just so darn cute. Here's a sample!

With A Knife

I blame my roommate for this current obsession.

"Belief" - stripped version (Gavin Degraw)

I want to sing to this song, I want to listen to it on repeat, and enjoy it constantly. 

His voice is amazing!

I'll put the link to the youtube video down at the bottom of this post so you can listen to it too, if the mood strikes you.

I posted a couple pictures to my dA last night while I was bored. One of Timbit, our dog, a couple months ago when I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk - this was her face. <3

Also, I posted a picture of Phoenix chewing on my headphones. The little ginger troublemaker.

I'm also writing again - albeit slowly. I feel like I keep saying that. But this time I really mean it. I've been editing and refurbishing some stuff I wrote almost three years ago for my characters. His story is rather complicated, and rewriting it is a chore. But I'm hoping now that I'm getting back into it, I'll be able to make more sense of what's going on with the whole story and the characters.

I'll link a very old sampling of how this character's brain works, below, if you wanted to check it out. Of course it's copywrited.Keep in mind it's very old - published on dA back in 2008. This is not my writing style anymore.

Alright, I guess I'm done rambling. I'm really just bored.

Some Actual Updates This Time

For once I am actually going to write something that means something. 

HAH, got ya.

No, I'm just going to rant about my life like I always do on this pointless blog. 

I am currently enjoying a surprise day off due to a phone call 15 minutes before I was due to start work this morning from my boss who said it wasn't worth it to come in today, as there were only a few appointments, and it wouldn't make sense to have three of us bored with nothing to do. So yay, surprise three day weekend! I'm excited because I never get three day weekends. The three day weekend usually happens on Monday, which is my regular day off, since I usually work Tuesday-Saturday. So it works out, I get paid for a day off, but that doesn't change the fact that I have a normal weekend and not a long one like everyone else.

We spent the morning cleaning the house, organizing things, vaccuming and swiffering, doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen. Our house is now fresh smelling and full of clean. It's lovely, but rare.

We are hermits in the house today - we went out just in the morning for milk, greek yogurt, and croissants. The essentials, you know? Also, there's white wine in the fridge for later, so why leave the house? We have buttery pastry, wine, and the makings for eternal cups of tea. It's not often that we get two full days off together. I think after the past three weekends jam packed with stuff, we're just gonna kick back and enjoy the relaxing. 

Also, a certain someone's convinced me to try her online world, Guild Wars 2, which I bought her for her brithday in April, even though it was just realeased a couple of months ago. I preordered it so she could play it a few days before the rest of the world who waited until the release date. I am currently waiting for it to download on my computer, and am probably going to do nothing but spend lots of time creating my own characters on it, then running around pointlessly. I'm not really big on these kinds of games, but she is, so I said I'd give it a shot. There's no harm in trying, is there?

In the world of health, I rank a 5.6. Yes, there's the usual culprits - but recently, my cheek and just the side of my face in general have been giving me trouble. It's been determined that my wisdom teeth have decided that I am no longer a child and that they need to make an appearance. Painfully. 

I'm now petrified that I'll need to have surgery or something, to have them taken out, and because I'm a wimp, I will have some kind of panic attack and die. 

Yes, I am a huge wuss when it comes to medical stuff, especially when I know I won't be aware of what's happening when it's happening. I like to be aware of my surroundings at all times.

Anyway, I'm going to go play this game, and we'll see how that goes. See ya~ 

No brainpower, and pain.

Okay, kind of being a dork here. The other day I took this one photo, and decided I liked the way half my face looked.

 I am posting photos because I'm bored. Lol

So I cropped it, went into an online photo editor, and put a cloud overlay over it.

Then I made it black and white but kept the color in my eye.

Then I cropped it even more, and put a peeling wallpaper overlay over it. (this would be my favourite).

And the same photo, again, with tree overlay.

A Nuuble bein' all cute.

Cute festive pumpkin arrangement
