This is my Sunday Wrap-Up of news and trivia:
1. MUFFIN TOP NEEDS YOU. Remember I posted here about the
indie rom-com called Muffin Top? How this movie was going to be amazing, and
had the potential to revolutionize Hollywood, so long as we could raise enough
funds to take it on tour? Well, we’ve got 19 days left on the Kickstarter. We’ve
raised over 30% of our goal so far, but if we don’t get the rest funded before
the end of the 19 days, we have to give every
cent back. So please, go read the post or go straight to the Kickstartersite, and donate whatever you can. This movie deserves it. The women you know
who struggle with self-worth and body image are worth it. Go.
Here's a video about the movie that'll make you laugh:
2. THE PUPPY IS NUTS. I’ve got news for you: raising a
super-smart breed like and Aussie Shepherd is almost identical to raising a two
year-old. The nice thing is that I can occasionally stick the dog in a crate
and let him unwind a bit, whereas sticking a two year-old human in a crate is
this huge problem and authorities will be called.
3. I’M STRESSED WITH GRATITUDE. I’ve been doing a lot of
freelance and exploring a lot of avenues the last few months, and I’m sort of
at this crossroads where numerous seeds are about to bloom into fruitful things…and
somehow this is stressing me out almost more than when they weren’t blooming. I’m nervous because
once these projects start bearing fruit, I’m probably going to be choosing one
and heading down that path; and that’s scary, to choose one path and pursue it.
I’ll have to ponder this before I can really communicate this feeling. All I
can tell you is that I saw this quote on Facebook the other day and it made me
excited and panicky at the same time:
4. I’M HORMONAL. Yesterday I had a gut ache, so for some
reason I ate most of a party-sized bag of pizza-flavoured lentil chips, then a
giant chocolate cookie, then accused Alan of adding fabric softener to the
laundry because his shirt smelled too good. Then I realized that if this isn’t
PMS, I may actually be losing control of my faculties.
5. LOTS OF EVENTS ARE COMING. I’m excited about the Ottawa
Pet Expo because I enjoy showing off Corben (and you can win some tickets, ya’ll);
also there’s another Ladies’ Night coming up at The Comic Book Shoppe, hosted
by the Capital Geek Girls, and I’ll talk more about that tomorrow. And I’ve
written every local craft show onto my calendar, and I realized I will not possibly
make it to all of them—and I hate that.
6. SHOPPING SUCKS. I went to the mall and tried to find some
new sweaters, only to discover that there is absolutely nothing good out this
season, unless you like leggings and boxy sweaters. And since I was around for
the 80s the FIRST TIME, I have no interest in these things so I left with
nothing. I did stick my head into the grand opening of Victoria’s Secret (the
first in Ottawa), but I was horrified to discover that the 80s resurgence
includes lingerie: I saw dolphin short-like teddies and all manner of
ruffle-hemmed nightmare. They had some padding-free bras which I wanted to try
on, but the music was so loud that I was having flashbacks to the panic attack
I had when I saw Saving Private Ryan
in theatres. Which I think means I’m officially too old to go shopping.
And to think, this is just the start of the week.
