The Dead Weather - Die by the Drop


The Dead Weather - Die By The Drop (Official Music Video) - Celebrity bloopers here





Okay so everyone shit themselves over Telephone, and yeah I'll admit that it was good. But I am kind of in love with The Dead Weather's new video for Die by the Drop.

Maybe it's because I am in love with Alison Mosshart, but I don't think so because I have an irrational dislike of Jack White, and this has almost won me over.

The French Canadian:
A poutine sandwich with french toast buns topped with maple syrup.

I am torn between feelings of disgust and really really wanting to eat this.

McAroons?



Apparently, in France they have macaroons at their McDonalds' ... well the McCafés (which is like a classier version of McDs that serves delicious sandwiches, coffees, lattes, cappucinos and cakes... kind of like our Second Cups).
They're supposedly from the same company that owns Laduree so I guess it's pretty good quality.
I mean I guess it's not TECHNICALLY served at McD's because it's at the McCafes, but it's clearly owned by McDonalds so...
ANYWAYS this is all to say that a) macaroons are awesome, b)mcaroons at McDs is the weirdest idea and c) I really miss eating the delicious Lobster Sandwiches that they had in the McCafes in HK.

double post

Okay, so let's break it down.

March 29: Dictatorships and Democracy in South America - exam
March 30: Anthropology of Advocacy and Social Movements - term paper due
April 5: Dictatorships and Democracy in South America - term paper due
April 9: Anthropology of Advocacy and Social Movements - take home exam due
April 10: Intro to Environmental Studies - exam
April 15: Anthropology of Culture as Performance - take home exam due

I am oscillating between being so stressed out that I feel like I'm going to puke, and not really caring any more.

fffffuuuu

apparently .gifs don't work in the header.
i'm leaving it anyways. it's still sort of ominous and creepy without the flashing.

Ink


I think I may have found the perfect inspiration for my half sleeve... it PERFECTLY works in with what I already have too!
The view of the tree on my arm at the side might look kinda janky though...

i have to be awake in 5 hours to go to school and hand in a paper at 8:30.
at the moment it is half finished...

i am writing about the portrayal of canadian athletes and representation of canadian identity in the olympics, specifically in the clips that CTV was showing featuring different athletes and how they are portrayed.

i have just finished writing about patrick chan, and i think i have seen this video of him sitting shirtless on the floor about 20 times.

i feel gross.

but the hamelins are next, followed by bilodeau so it gets substantially better.

if gender is performative, and categories of gender, race, and nationalism are negotiated, and are mobile positions in a shifting field of power and meaning, as are all identity categories, and they all intersect and depend on each other for their meaning... does this mean that everything that i am, and that i think i am... everything that i identify as is false or not real?

so in short, categories of identity refer back to an original that does not exist... they just refer back to representations of representations.

which means that today's society- argued to be a world of exhibition - is where everything is a representation of some "real" but even the "reality" is a representation of what "real" is supposed to be. what is "real" doesnt exist.

whoa mindfuck.
