Comic Relief (HM)

I’m borrowing this comic in lieu of my own original Happy Moment. Why? Because it makes me happy.

When Men Market to Women…

This ad ended up on my side menu of Facebook just now. For those of you who don’t read French its an ad for menstrual pads thats being hyped by a contest to win a romanic week-end away for two. The title of the contest is ‘Just Us Two’. As you can all see there is a (presumedly) attractive man in the ad. Now, I don’t know about you, but on the list f things I want most during my period, a romantic week-end away IN NO WAY FACTORS IN. I want flannel, not lace, I want tea, not champagne and I certainly don’t want to have to worry about staining the fancy 600 thread-count sheets at a cozy lovers’ B&B.

*ahem*

Rant over.

HM: Relating

We all think we are pretty special and unique. Its OK to think this way, its what saves us from being taken advantage of, giving up and allows us to hold out for a better job/bill of health/relationship/whatever. Thinking we are special is common, even though few of us will admit it.

The thing is, thinking this isn’t always helpful –  like when you feel alone or sad or insecure. Feeling like you are the only one to have ever felt this way since the  beginning of time can be pretty scary. This is why I was so happy to re-discover Tales of Mere Existence (http://www.ingredientx.com) The artist’s art is simple, as are his thoughts. What makes it so unbelievably great is how bang-on he is with his story tellingand how it resonates so fully.

There are clips that are funny, clips that are depressing and everything in between, but this site gets my HM for the day because it is impossible to feel alone after watching them. I think he’s a genius.

On becoming your parents

Loved this and thought I’d share.

Stats I Can Get Into

If stats had been this much fun when I did them for sociology I might have pulled higher then a C. Wicked funny. Enjoy!

 

Maudit hiver!

I never thought I would say this but Quebecois culture has seriously resonated with me, most likely for the first time (if we are discounting maple syrup):

That clip is exactly the monologue I go through in my head every. single. day of winter. Enjoy!
