Cool cool cool. As well.

Friday (being a downer)

It's not a happy Friday today. It's more of a black Friday. My niece and nephew move to Ottawa today.

But this story about a baboon "reading" cheers me up a little, until I think about how sentient and intelligent animals are just as likely to be crushed under the foot of human progress as other animals. And I'm less happy again.

Speaking of animals, there's at least one lynx left in Canada.

Cool cool cool

Check this out. Freakin' hypnotic.

This is a fun little quiz to see if you can identify the second line of famous books (okay, some of them are only "famous" within certain cohorts). I mean, what comes after "Call me Ishmael" or "It was the best of times..."? I scored an 87%, which I think is commendable considering I haven't read some of the books in the quiz. I think an awesome quiz would be to identify books by their last sentence. The only passage of a book I ever intentionally memorized is the last sentence of House of Mirth. It's so beautiful, I didn't want to forget it.

My BFF had her baby finally. On Easter, which is actually her favourite holiday because she really likes bunnies. No pictures yet, but I'm expecting the human boy equivalent of this:
























For those of you keeping score at home, this is my 6th nephew. For my baby-making friends out there, another niece would be nice...

Hoppy Easter

We woke up to this in Nova Scotia this morning:

 

Hardly a day you want to get out of bed for, let alone rise from the dead. We had Easter dinner at my Aunt's. I let my niece and nephew loose with my camera and they took some beautiful shots:  

Happy Fake Friday!

Sorry, nothing original to post. Again. Let Kate Beaton dull your pain:

Overheard at the Office

Woman (upon seeing Male co-worker with a coffee cup): Is it 3 o'clock already?
Male co-worker: No. It's always coffee time in my cup.
Me (to myself): Amen.

Simultaneously the most awesome and most unnecessary Easter-themed sign ever.

If you've got a better way to celebrate the resurrection of your Lord and Saviour, I'd like to hear about it.
