    canadrien replied to your post: Such a good smoothie! 0% Greek Yogurt, a banana,…

    White chocolate peanut butter is a THING? Omg. Must find.

    It so is a thing! It’s called White Chocolate Wonderful by Peanut Butter & Co., and if you can’t find it in stores near you (here in Halifax I can only find it at a specialty grocery store), you can order it from their website! :)

    Nutella can maybe move the hell over for a little while. 

    … I am going to have to find an actual grocery store in Ottawa now. 

    Or maybe convince the friend who is going to Halifax for December to bring some back. She’s already offered to pick up more Just Us. 

    ¬¬

    Friends are all about long-distance grocery shopping right. 

  3. Sulphur Mountain, Alberta.  Likely the furthest point West I will get this summer, and there was even a handy sign with mileage kilometrage since Halifax.

  5. Snapped at Pride in Edmonton, little while ago now. ‘cause nothing quite says Edmonton LGBT like rainbows and cowboy hats coming together.

  8. LOUD NOISES. (She is not happy to be shut in the bathroom while the apartment is emptied. On the best of days, she yowls at a shut door if I’m on the other side of it. Today she was able to shove her nose under the door and yowl into a mostly empty apartment. Which echoes! Horrible, horrible echoes you could hear near the elevator and I worried our neighbours might think we were lighting her on fire.)

  9. I remain fundamentally terrible in that geeky way and plan to sew these (or iron them, whatever) onto my jacket, because I traded in all of my games and they were the only things the store had that I wanted in exchange. My hair is just another level of terrible altogether. Whatever whatever, peacock coloured stripe gives no shits.

    • Me: <33333
    • Me: stevebaby XD
    • Me: ilu
    • Adrien: XD
    • Adrien: I can't call him Captain America anymore, I guess.
    • Adrien: It's just too silly.
    • Me: lol
    • Me: but he's AMERRICUUHHH
    • Adrien: I KNOW I just can't do it.
    • Adrien: I love his character.
    • Adrien: I love most everything about him, actually.
    • Adrien: I just can't call him Captain America.
    • Adrien: Captain yes.
    • Adrien: Stevebaby yes.
    • Adrien: But honestly it's his shield that makes him Captain America so that's the shield's name in my brain.
    • Adrien: It's really a duo.
    • Adrien: Stevebaby and Captain America.
    • Adrien: Playing Ultimate Frisbee.
    • Adrien: For great justice.

    • Me: SO PERFECT

  12. Babble:

    Augmented/Virtual Reality and its representation in stories just cracks me up sometimes.

    VR: when it’s not ~freeing your mind~ from the brainwashing of society and you are freeeeed, it’s making your eyeballs bleed and getting you addicted to mystery futuristic drugs that’ll suck your soul out of you and you will haunt the virtual afterlife forever as some sort of digital imprint. Uh.  

    This is what I get for marathoning Assassin’s Creed and then Heavy Rain, I guess.

    I still want that fucking office on Mars.

  13. Is there a protocol for renaming pets?

    • Adrien: A proposal has been put forth.
    • Adrien: To rename Cat/Allegro/Kitty/Devilspawn to Loki.
    • Natasha: .....
    • Natasha: it'd work
    • Natasha: She's totally Loki
    • Natasha: and I love her.
    • Adrien: Yeah I'm surprisingly okay with this.
    • Adrien: Allegro was kind of like. A name that was whatever and used because I could think of nothing else. And she's loud.
    • Adrien: But Loki.
    • Adrien: Loki is her SOUL.
    • Adrien: And she's adopted.
    • Natasha: dohinfhoif
    • Natasha: she'sadopted
    • Natasha: did she kill 80 people?
    • Adrien: Hang on, let me look into the bottomless evil green eyes of hers and check.
    • Natasha: okay
    • Natasha: I'll wait here
    • Adrien: She has not killed 80 people but she has managed to brainwash at least half a dozen and make them her slaves.
  14. Book crush: 35 pages into Monoceros and I just want to run away with it. Canadian, queer (in Calgary, no less), and a sense that the author was having a lot of fun with words and rhythm putting this tragedy together.  This is why I don&#8217;t have hobbies, I&#8217;m too busy having relationships with stories. Whoops-but-not-really.
