Advertising At Its Best

Aaaaaaaaaaamg I wish I were in fucking Canada right now. And no, it isn't because HCB went back home. I swear I could watch Canadian television ALL DAY LONGGG...

Well, it's no secret that I love their advertising, or at least I love the commercials they choose to air. And there are some pretty awesome/hilarious commercials. Of course, I'm damn lucky if I can even find them online...but there are a few! Such as this one (no idea if it's particular to an area, but I'm sure it's international):



Theeeeeeen there's Molson, who never disappoints in making me giggle uncontrollably:



Mmmmmmhmmm, it just went there.

Then after the hockey games, if I'm positively lucky that night, I'll get to watch some random Canadian epicness. Of course it's totally out of my control as to what it is, but dude, even the news is fuckin' amazing. Because when it's a week before national elections....I mean, come on. Speaks for itself. Then the political stuff was followed by a visit to Chernobyl with some Canadians. Duuuuuude, now that was fascinating. :3

So tonight I'm watching, and I had the chance to look at the TV listings for whoever the hell was streaming everything online.....and holy crap my mind was blown. MTV has some show called 1 Girl 5 Gays? What the what?! Is this like their equivalent to 16 and Pregnant on the ridiculous scale? Jeeze.... >.>

They also have the Canadian equivalent to American Pickers. It's called (no shit) Canadian Pickers. Whaaaaaaaaat.....meh, it looks amusing but there's no topping the Iowa natives, HA! And, there's one that caught my attention that I kinda wanna see: The Dakota Sessions. Dakota?! Which Dakota? Well, it's actually just a tavern in Toronto (legit, they called it a tavern) that showcases musicians. Including Great Big Sea and Lady Antebellum. Woooo! Gonna watch for it on YouTube. Along with my goddamn Tide and Apple Auto Glass commercials. Grawr. >.>

Also, I got screwed by poking around Canada's CMT site. They have a friggin' show called Pick a Puppy. PICK A PUPPY. What sort of cruel torment is this to pick such an irresistible title!! D: Damn.....

Now they left on Hardcore Pawn, which isn't actually Canadian but....what the fuck. Sadly it's a drama-filled Pawn Stars basically, so Nascar took over. And THAT drama is a whole lot more hilarious. After tonight, Busch's ass is grassssssssssssss, and if all he gets is a lil fine.....then something's wrong with the system. Dude, they're picky as hell about speeding in pit road for the crew's safety, and Busch went and shoved Harvick's car with his own and plowed Harvick's into the pit wall? With pit crews and people all over the road? Fucking hell....but in all, Regan Smith FINALLY got a win that actually counts!! XD

For staying in Verm one last night, this has been pretty damn awesome. :3

Questioning Why I Reapplied For This Job

You know, I think I'm getting used to this second place thing I've got going. Ever since way back when I applied for this job of mine, I had put down Beede Hall as my top choice (Honors floor, yo) and Mickelson as my second. I got my second choice. Then all of this year it has been second this, second that...reapply for hall placement and I got my second choice (albeit, Beede's not too bad of a second choice).

Now tonight, John asked me who I would want for a co-CA next year. Didn't even have to think twice, I told him my current co Aris. Well fuck  me sideways, he wants to give Aris to Laurel because Laurel nearly didn't come back at the end of last semester, so he wants to give her a really good co. Then I told him that I didn't really want to be with Marcus 'cause I don't think I'd work well with him (His response: 'Well that's good to know'), and then I told him that I would not be co to Joe because, well, he happened to ask me out Friday night (His response: 'Ooooooooh'). We talked it over, and I don't really have a desire to be on an all-girls floor and he has two of the new/semi-new staff girls going on that floor. So basically I'm forced into a corner to work with a guy who I really won't get along with, which I can guarantee you from the start is going to be the case.

Seriously, I hope John takes at least a little pity in me and gives me top choice just this once...I told him my first choice had also been the Honors floor, but that I knew Laurel was going to get that too. And I really do hate to say it, but it really fucking sucks when the Honors floor already went to Laurel, and now I'm going to lose my co to her, too. What am I going to be left with then? Probably 4th floor again, with the perpetual angst that I won't have Aris as my co again when my heart was set on getting him again. It's a toxic combination.

I swear, I'm more stressed out from shit that has nothing to do with schoolwork and it's a bitch. I'm hoping HCB gets his ass in gear and picks a day for lunch or dinner or SOMETHING, I'm just saying. I need a way to wind down, either through doing absolutely nothing or reading or sleeping, I just don't know anymore....
