Too bad I can't marry Chris Pratt or Anna Faris cause they flippin married each other. Hope I look that sweet on my honeymoon.

Hot Flashes

Location: Ryerson University Library
Activity: Sweating out of control

My brow, my upper lip, my back, my arms. How did this happen? Since when does walking one flight of stairs mean buckets of uncontrollable sweat? I'm a whiner. Calgary this weekend as too cold, I was shaking in my flip flops. Now, I take one step out side in my underwear and I need a shower. I wouldn't mind except for by the time I get outside, it's too late to tan. That and my new haircut makes me this summer's Snow White look alike.

Ok, I guess.

So I listened to the new album first, thought it was very sub par, but then my wee sta (One Stefanie Mudry) posted a link. It's undeniably awesome. Ok Go has got some skills. Maybe more so in the domino world and less in the music, but this video gives their new album Of the Blue Colour of the sky a second ride through my playlist.

Summer is coming and so is the blogging. With school ending and free time beginning, I feel at a lose when it comes to doing something that is not homework or studying. Luckily, my love for Lol catz is getting me through these rough beginnings of effectively wasting time. As the weather heats up, so will the humor, the blogging and home grown herbing.

How was this song not voted best song of 2008? What were the critics thinking?

Rihanna - Breakin' Dishes

Is it bad that I feel bad for Chris Brown? If some crazy broke dishes all up in my grill, I'd slap her too.

Famous

2010-01-10T11:55:00.002-05:00

So this morning I was crusin BlogTO and saw an article about me! Well, it was about winter bike riders, which I am, so it was basically about me. I then remembered that someone told me my restuarant was recently reviewed on that there blog so I found the article, started reading and looking at the pictures of the gyoza's and BAM! A Photo of me! So clearly Mai, my thai counter part, and I cooked all the food the blogger enjoyed and now I am famous because there is a blog actually about me on BlogTO.

Dear New Year's Resolutioners:

2010-01-08T08:46:00.003-05:00

Get the Hell out of my GYM!

Seriously. All I want to do is work out and there is a million new members to the gym.

"OMG! my resolution is to workout! but seriously this time! like, i'm so not going to let myself be an fat bitch this year!"

Really? Isn't that what you said last year too? Well, if at first you don't adhere to personal goals, try them again every single year for 5 mins on every fucking piece of equipment in the gym, while gabbing loudly and talking up space. Sweet.

Ok, I know, there are some of you who will actually do good on your booty camp regime and bravo to you, but I've been in the gym almost everyday for the past year. What ever happened to seniority? Just let me on my elliptical god damn it.

Who keeps pissing on my head?

2009-12-03T14:05:00.002-05:00

Seriously. December first has come and gone and Toronto still has no snow. Not for lack of precipitation, Oh no. Last night it was pouring rain on my bike ride home. My glasses were streaked with rain, I couldn't see and even my underwear was soaking wet by the time I got home. This is not a good start to my dream winter wonderland holiday season.

This is not your favorite summer party album ever. It's our outdoor staircase. As Kiera was leaving the house she yelled for me to come outside. What is this? she said as she pointed to something disgusting dripping off our staircase. Apparently last night a raccoon picked up the dead squirrel on our neighbors lawn and chewed it's guts out on the porch. There is now dead squirrel blood and guts hanging on the stairs between me and my bike. EWWW!!

So the other day at the gym, there was a bunch of hot bitches and my competitive edge over took me and I started to secretly gym battle them. They didn't know, but I did like, a million more lunges then they did. So they can take there skinny asses home and think about that. I however took my extremely sore, over lunged buns to West Scarborough the next day. I had to meet up for a school project and have no funds for transit so I just biked there. No big deal, I biked to Etobikoe one Saturday and Scarborough is even closer. But not close. It's still a fair ways away. Here is a map of my 1h20 min round trip.

My leg muscles are having a hard time keeping me upright today. Tomorrow - stair sets at Casa Loma. But that's for an other post.

Windows 7 is coming out tomorrow. How thrilling. If I used a PC.

At Thanksgiving the Pops and I had a great conversation about Mac vs PC. He uses both for work and I was a PC geek up until a couple of years ago so it was a very even weighted and slightly nostalgic discussion. I now have the worlds most resilient mac book (3 years running and still kicking despite being stolen, spilled on, drunk on vodka, missing screws, 1 crashed hard drive and being prone to jumping of 10 ft high loft beds) and love it to bits, even if the staff at the Mac store don't love it as much as I do (continue reading for details). I do however wish I could get as stoked on Windows 7 as I would have in my pre-Mac youth. With Apples constant release of large felines meowing to be installed on my MacBook, I have become rather desensitized to the Apple home page. Sweet! version 10.4.5.89 os X Ocelot! iPod touch 2nd generation just had a grand kid! While Mac is constantly putting out new products and upgrades I'm pretty sure Windows spent all the time inbetween Vista and 7 devoted to customer service and actually telling poor little university students why their hard drive crashed 1 day before their major reserach project and how they can get those missing scews back into thier largest piece of net worth. Good luck Bill with operation 7. May the debate continue.

Geek out

2009-10-15T10:43:00.001-04:00

Ever since I was 8 years old I have loved computers. I was however conscious that people who geeked out on computers all day were generally slapped with a big old "Hi my name is Loser" tag in junior high. Because of my need to be socially accepted, I kept my inner geek hidden behind competitive sports, punk rock and mis behaving. 10 years since junior high and I am wondering if being accepted actually ruined my life. I back on the geek out, hard core. If I had been hardcore all the time, i would be able to write posts like this - "Posted at 2:03pm"

and be sucessful like this - ConnectedVentures

Instead I sit in my sweatpants googling and waiting for my shit ass, yet to be upgraded internet to fully deliver me the latest episode of The City.

Me and my Good self

2009-10-14T13:59:00.002-04:00

So strolling down the street today on my way to look at Bodums, I walked past a CIBC atm. No big deal, happens everyday. But everyday is not today! Today in the atm, was 400$ that someone forgot to pick up. 400$! Perfect! I could buy every bodum in the Green Beanery! I heard however, someone talking to me. It was my good self. The part of me that's makes me do things I don't want do, to work harder than I should and makes me tired all the time but also helps me buy nutritious food and graduate university. As I was locking up my bike to take the money into the bank, a frantic looking middle aged man raced past me and blundered into the bank. He came out side with a security guard as I approached the bank. Yes it was his money and man was he grateful. I saved the day for him and the poor security guard. He gave me a massive hug and now I have karma up the ying yang. But no bodum. Come on karma, buy me a bodum in thanks.

An 8:30 rush

2009-10-14T09:42:00.001-04:00

I moaned and groaned to myself all the way out of the house this morning. It's too early, I'm too tired, it's too beautiful a morning to be going for a run. I ALWAYS feel better after a run, so should always go, even if I don't want to.This morning however, i discoverd an extra reason to get my butt out of bed, especially at 8:30 am. Grade School. There is 3-4 different elementary schools in the surrounding neighbor hoods and I got to see all the little children on their way to school. I have baby fever (but whats new?) and I have it bad. The siblings holding hands with thier parents behind them, the grandparents walking the kid with bouncy balls for shoes, the young girl and her dad bike riding the 2 blocks to school, and the preschooler so bundled up all they can do is rotate and waddle. I want them all! I want to teach them crafts and sing the alaphabet and pack thier bagged lunches. Parents of the annex, i'm coming for your children. In 5-7 years of course. . . .

In my bed this evening.....

2009-10-14T02:32:00.001-04:00

For those of you who haven't heard, there's a new man in my life. He's affectionate, cuddly, vocal and almost always hungry. I was in Calgary for thanksgiving and I think he took it kind of hard, which is expected from someone of such raw emotion. I guess that's why he just hopped into my bed to surprise me tonight. Liam, the classic cat romantic. Who knew that his insensate meowing and diligent grooming were all for me and the pile of blankets and clothes that is my bed? If only his owners knew.

Chili Fire

2009-09-29T14:51:00.002-04:00

So my job this year is at a Japanese Ramen House. I like it a lot and feel like my life is similar to Brittney Murphy in "The Ramen Girl" even though I have yet to see it (Thanksgiving weekend, it's a date). I make noodles and cut shrimp and stir fry like mad. Yesterday how ever, I apparently decided to stirfry extra mad. You know how when you're flipping the pan to mix the veggies (like so), well yesterday it turned a little more into a flaming ball of fire in the pan instead of veggies. Me, in my cool collect way, let out a little "WOW!" then tactfully brought the pan up to blow out the flames. All was well afterwords, except for my eyelashes and eyebrows. I burnt them. My eyelashes have split ends. My life as I know it is over. I'll be crawled up in a hole in the floor if you need me.

Cat Creepage

2009-09-25T13:23:00.003-04:00

1. Found my wallet, don't worry. Thank you to Facebook and the Ryerson Student Union using it to creep me and send me a message.

2. Liam the cat.

So there is this cat that likes to hang out at our house. Sometimes it gets some tuna from the kind hearted Laur Laur Vag and we all used to pet it until it starting hanging around all the time an meowing till it was fed then peaced out. Let me tell you, we are not a house of ladies to be used and abused. We like our cuddle time ok, this is no in and out, 7 secs in heaven type of deal. Liam has been persistent however. On many occasions he has been heard and seen meowing at the kitchen window, even daring to jump in sometimes. This morning Liam took a leap. Not only did Liam jump in the open kitchen window, but decided to creep all the way upstairs and through any open door. Unfortunately, my room was the only open door and thus I was awaking to the insistent meows and creepage by my bed side of a hungry Liam. In my room. at 7:30 am. GOD DAMMIT LIAM!!

Please note Liam is not a stray. He has owners and is well groomed. He just likes to eat.

Should I be writing this from my own computer I would have attached a photo of the bold Liam but since my hard drive crashed and I don't have a computer for two weeks and am writing this from my roommates, K Hess, no photo.

Red Alert: lost wallet

2009-09-17T15:39:00.002-04:00

This is a message for all those googlers out there. In particular, the one who potentially found my wallet and googled my name and was brought to this blog post about how I lost my wallet today on the Ryerson campus. If you, my new and favorite reader, have indeed found it please email me at k.mudry@hotmail.com. While there is some great stuff in there, like my alberta health card and all primary ids, I doubt anyone but me would really like a picture from christmas 1995 of Molly, Jake and Daisy, cute as they are.

yep, k.mudry@hotmail.com. just hit me with and email, your welcome to the 5 cents of change in there. Thanks to you, and google and the internet for hopefully returning my wallet to me.

Stuck in the middle with poo.

2009-08-12T20:04:00.004-04:00

So I got my hair dyed yesterday and it is like, totally heinous. I was all, back to my root color please! What did I end up with? Fucking laguna beach barbie train wreck that's what. I am somewhere between dirty blonde and light brown and far far away from myself. Seriously, my eyebrows are REALLY dark. So were my roots. that is my natural color. It wasn't just the blonde playing tricks with your eyes. I have hair the color of night. Minus one or two shades. We are getting dye from the salon tomorrow to redo it at home. Like Hell I am going back to the salon! This is why I box dye. (Some punch the pouty mouthed bitch in that picture. GOD. Who does she think she is? Queen of Highlights?)

Third Times a Charm.

2009-08-05T19:17:00.003-04:00

Hopefully this will be my last post of the day, because if it's not I will have to chain myself to the opposite end of the room as my laptop.

While 3 posts in one day may seem like a little too much, I feel this one is most important as it is actually not my third, but forth post of the day. Where is the real third post you ask? On my real sweet new food blog - Oh My Vegan Life.

Brief synopsis of OMVL - I explore the world of veganism, cook meat for 60+ children, fry bacon on the daily for my boyfriend and do it all on the brokest of broke budgets. This means that I will be posting most of my food adventures and cravings and recipes on this new blog and streamlining "So I Said..." (or simply kmudry.blogspot.com) into a new and improved place where I write hilarious thoughts and grievances about people and whales and Zealand (please see May 16th 2009) but not about food.

All for blogging and blogging for food!

Who is laughing? iI'll sock it to them.

2009-08-05T18:14:00.003-04:00

Is MTV making a some kind of new sitcom about my life? No? Well then who keeps making all these awful jokes happen to me?

For example: the watch that I can't find but can hear beep everyday at 6:30 am.
Or the constant rain on my two week vacation.
Or the piece of random food caught between my teeth that WILL NOT come out.

Here is the kicker - I FINALLY find my phone charger after a month and a half of disconnect. Now I can't find my phone.

Dear MTVagface: I am rating this parody of my life as subpar. Like so subpar you wouldn't even make it to the auditions line up for So you Think You Can Dance. You'd be stopped before you left your house in your undersized spandex and oversized jazz shoes and be replaced by Big Bird. Now give me back my phone.

A Posh Post

2009-08-05T15:54:00.004-04:00

So my 72 minutes of megavideo ran up half way through the first season of "The Next Iron Chef" so I had to find some other amazing show to watch while scanning slides of my grandma from the 60's. I don't know how it happened, why I haven't seen this before, and why this isn't the number one show on tv, but I feel my life is far more complete now thanks to Victoria Beckham: Coming to America. The Beckhams are how I dream of married life.

She knew she was my favorite Spice for a reason.

A Dark and Stormy Return.

2009-08-03T23:26:00.002-04:00

Dear blogosphere,

I am back. Yes I know - HALLELUIA! If only for a brief two week stint before I return to the wilderness and throngs of pubescent boys and girls (summer camp). In the following days I will give you months worth of blogging and you might become overwhelmed, so this is your official warning - too hilarity might ensue. or not. but probably.

While there is many a blog to be written on running, puberty, the Juile/Julia Project and my latest endeavor called "Oh my Vegan Life" this evenings entry will be a simple conversation starter from me to you - So how bout hurricane Calgary? Am I right?

Last night with the window open the winds were so strong we (the BF and I) had to put a dresser in front of the door to keep it from blowing open. It is storming again tonight and I am very afraid that the electricity will go out and my Herb and Parmesean bread that is in the oven will be destroyed. Not that I didn't already destroy it by using shitty instant yeast, but that's for an other post.

Like Bacon in a fry pan.

2009-05-25T14:36:00.003-04:00

WHY DO I SMELL LIKE GARLIC?? Yesterday, understandable, ate a lot of it. Today, come on. There are no vampires in the vicinity so I do not understand why I smell like a vampire hunter. And no, all you people snarking at this, it is not because I am dirty. I showered. Yesterday. or the day before. One of them. For Realz.

I am about to pack up my bag and get ready to come home from my brief stint as a world traveler. Before that, a list.

Things I miss:
Laur Laur Vag's LolzCatz book.
Laur laur Vag and all my T.O bitches (bitches in this case is gender neutral).
The Gluten Free Vegan pizza I ate last night.
Having income cash flow (for more pizza. duh.)
That guy I hangout with in Calgary. He has a dirty mustache and skinny knees. You know, that one.

I am excited to come home to warm weather and sun after 6 pm. NZ you are nice, but summer is calling my pale legs back to canada. I think I will wear naught but my underwear for my first week back so as to become a bronzen beauty. Ya'll know how good I tan. Like bacon on a fry pan.

Live from New Zealand:

2009-05-24T17:34:00.002-04:00

Today is my last full day in NZ, before my FULL day of travel. For reals, wake up bus plane death. Anyways, here is the #1 thing I have learned while in the southern hemisphere - electric blankets are the bee's knees. I you love somebody, buy them an electric blanket. It is the only way to be.

I am now off to cook copious amounts of rice, walk a very long distance, and see a free museum. Such is my traveling ways.

Rubixed

2009-05-16T19:43:00.003-04:00

My foot smells so bad. Bodily odors aside, went to this kick ass party last night. You know those parties you see in american movies and your like, are you f-ing kidding me? Well, that actually happens. In Australia. Hugh Jackman wasn't there, but it was still fucking off the wall.

Description: Rubixs Cube Party. Everyone wears crazy colors, then trades them.
Highlight: Dancing to the live band with no pants on.

Also, I taught people how to pee in the bushes, was saved by a heroic Australian from the mosh pit and drank lots of goon. Not as much as at the beach, I drank 4 litres the other day (all in one epic day), and this morning Ms. Kate Sheills vommed instead of me. I vommed 5 times yesterday though so, everything is even i suppose. HAZAA!! Tomorrow I go to New Zealand.

Question: Where is Zealand?

Till lunch:

2009-05-11T22:08:00.005-04:00

So yeah, i'm in austraila, it is great and will write more on that later but for now:

As I am lounging, waiting for lunch at my friends Uni I found this:

This looks like a fabulous movie. I am cooking all summer and thus want to become amazing at it. I probably won't though, as I've never cooked meat before and haven't even really touched it in 5 years soooo, guess i'll just live vicariously through Julie&Julia

Anyways, got some delicious gluten free vegan cookies at the safeway today, have been watching Underbelly everynight, an amazing show about real live Melbourne gangsters, and am excited to go on a solo journey through the trying meaderings of Melbrounes transit system.

Expoopia.ca

2009-04-24T10:48:00.002-04:00

So this is the fifth time I have called expedia.ca to try and change my flights for my wee trip to Aus/NZ. Seems my phone likes to drop my calls, or they like to transfer me for 10 mins or the flights are 200$ cheaper the day before. This is the worst. Also, my travel agent was too slow and the last flight out of NZ on the day I wanted was just "scooped up" before she could finalize it. "Bear with me please, give me one moment please". Go Drop Dead expedia.ca

Por Favor

2009-04-20T15:11:00.003-04:00

Watchin the Hills season 4 online in between studying. Have also been listening to a lot of T.I and rapping with my guitar. This is my life these days, plus packing and doing the endless line of dishes that some how always appears.

In my current ep of the Hills, Heidi and Spencer went to mexico and were sipin on Patron hard as. "you know what patrone does to me!" oh Heidi, you dumb bitch. Then Spencer asked for the top shelf tequila, even higher then Patron. Seeing as I instantly threw up after my last shot of tequila i'm not up on the scene and don't know if there is something more expensive then Patron. If there is, somebody better let T.I and his bros know. Drop a couple stacks on it.

Broke Cooking

2009-04-13T09:36:00.003-04:00

So recently I've been really into reading Vegan Cooking Blogs. In my favorites bar is Your Vegan Mom- a blog a bout vegan food and 2 year olds, two of my favorite things. She has links to a millions different VeganBlogs like The Post Punk Kitchen, What The Hell (does/a/vegan/eat/anyways), and Chow Vegan.

I love drooling over all the recipes and reading about the crazy ingredients and almost start cooking all those delicious meals but then I open my fridge and realize that I have naught but Ketchup and Mustard. Don't' worry, there is some rice in the cupboard and some flax seed kicking around but definitely not "1 cube of vegan vegetable bouillon"
"1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram" or "2-3 pieces whole star anise".

The Facts: I'm a gluten/potato/corn free Vegan. I have minimal funds. We have, at most, ever, two clean cooking utensils.

The Conclusion: Broke Cooking - in which me and my roommates make edible food on our broke ass budget with our broke down kitchen and it's all something my sorry ass insides can digest.

stay tuned. (We do get lazy though, so don't hold your breath)

Blonde and Bitchin.

2009-04-12T03:47:00.005-04:00

This is my fav: Christina Aguilera - Keeps getting better

Also, Metric has a new album coming out. This acoustic track is beautiful.

Lastly, sleep is for the lame. I live off brown rice, bean soup and Freshmint gum. That's it.

Update on the nose ring: Opted to go sans ball. The ring twisted out of my nose, but not enough to fall off. Realized tonight, twisted it back in basically re-piercing my nose. Now my face hurts. No biggie.

Well OK!

2009-04-07T15:00:00.002-04:00

So, I am just eating some delicious homemade black bean chipotle soup (a little to much curry powder but still delicious) and watchin some Project Runway Season 4 online. And drinking some wine. Wait, need a refill.....

... So yeah, a cute old asian man just took my passport photo, told me I was beautiful and I handed a big print shit balls project in this morning and now i'm just chillin wit me myself and I. How could this get better you ask? Well BINGO BANGO ladies and gentleman (mainly ladies, I doubt any boys will care) Brooke Shields appears on the ep of Project Runway, and the challenge is to designing an outfit for her character on Lipstick jungle! Yafuckinhoo.

Speaking of Lipstick Jungle and Candace Bushnell, I had a 15 min conversation with a regular at the coffee shop last night and part of it was an introspective look at Sex and the City and how amazing being a strong independent women is. So, ok, we all know that SATC is way better then LJ but Lindsay Price who plays Victory Ford in LJ is one of the most beautiful women i've ever seen. Plus, Nico's jewelry makes me short of breath it's so beautiful.

Well, enough of this, Project runway awaits (stupid streaming video).

This fuckin shit!

2009-04-01T16:21:00.003-04:00

So went with my girl Tatiana who was in town for a delicious sushi lunch and the fun times of downtown toronto (it was beautiful out today, don't trust me?). Then, duh, we had to get her nose pierced so, did that, and I got a smaller ring for my nose. No probs, I'll put it in my self, no need to pay someone 10$ to fiddle with my nose. This is what I look like now:

Balls. The ball is too small for my fat fingers and everything is just shitty. Jojo, call me. Help me. I'm lost in a see of piercings.

p.s being at the piercing place made me really want more. and tattoos. more more more.

Breakfast of Champions

2009-03-19T09:30:00.004-04:00

So last night I went to bed before 2 am, which is when I usually give into sleep and turn of what ever tv show I am watching on my computer. Because I went to bed so early, I woke up early. At like, 8:00. I don't have class till 10. What the hell am I supposed to do with all this time? Make my self a banana soy milkshake of course! Walk to the asain supermarket. Closed. Every other store on spadina - closed. How come no one can keep up with my productive lifestyle? So here I sit, waiting for class, and eating my new daily delicacy - quin0a, lentils, and Italian salad dressing. Vegans rule.

edit - spiced the above up today with some flax seeds. yummers.

Chomp on this.

2009-03-11T20:54:00.002-04:00

Dinner: One Guava drink from the Asian super market. A piece of bread with shit ass hummus that I made. The chickpeas weren't cooked enough. My roomates say it's good but I guess I just have high standards. It's in the fridge if anyone wants it.

Dessert: A banana sprinkled with flax seeds. Then some spoonfulls of flax seeds. Ok, what, I am like a little bird. A Sparrow if you will. Ima mate for life. Or a whale, they mate for life as well. but don't eat flax. Shit, sparrow it is. PLUS - flax is super high in omega 3 and dietary fiber. Also, it can be used as an effective egg subsitute in vegan cooking. Ima tap that.

GEAH!

It's a woman's world. Baby.

2009-03-06T18:31:00.003-05:00

You know what gives me a boner? - http://www.blogotheque.net/Tom-Jones,4683

I'm off to pluck my eyebrows and shave my legs. Then watch a Heath ledger movie, drink wine and probably cry with my girlfriends. Jokes. Ima get wasted. The aforementioned was last night.

Chomp - КУСАТЬ

Ya ischu devushku, kotoraya khochet lyubit i bit luybimoy. - I am looking for a girl who wants to love and be loved.

One time I really wanted to learn Russian. I tried to teach myself with the interent but, turns out it's pretty hard. Like, honestly, that above phrase looks like this in real russian - Я ищу девушку, которая хочет любить и быть любимой.

There is no way that is going to happen until I finish the last two seasons of Trailer Park boys. Look how seductive these guys are -

Also, I have been craving HotDogs real bad lately. Well, veggie dogs duh, but I still can't have those cause they are full of gluten. But just imagine if they weren't -

To soothe the pain in my heart that is not being able to eat hotdogs or veggie dogs I listen to this song - Usher Love in this Club (MSTRKRFT remix)

On attractiveness.

Peeve: When you are trying to put toothpaste on your toothbrush but it just falls right off into the sink. Not only did you waste toothpaste but those blobs are tricky to wash down the drain.

Today a girl came into my work and told me that I looked like Elisha Cuthbert. I can see how she thought that:

Twins.

That said, I haven't showered in 2 weeks.

Chemistry - heat and bleach.

2009-02-04T16:02:00.006-05:00

In response to this post, here is a link to the wonderful wikipedia article about Toast and a Calvin and Hobbes comic for you:

Last night was an unofficial girls night. We talked of boys, ate salsa, didn't do homework and died my hair again. In addition to the new dye and final actual bleach blondeness of my hair I have started wearing it differently. How different you ask? It's crazy. Don't believe me? Check the pic below.

Ya, you got it, started parting it on the OPPOSITE SIDE! I am livin life for the moment. You know. In addition to a bleached scalp I have a new zit on the left side of my face. Look close and you might see it. Perfect.

A good link.

5 truthful things about yours truly.

2009-01-20T12:04:00.002-05:00

1. I rarely eat eggs because they are chicken menstruation and that is gross.
2. I love egg salad sandwiches. Especially without the gluten and thus just the salad bit.
3. I shower only 2 times per week
4. My average Weight Watchers count is 7 points
5. Ruffles Sour Cream and Onion chips remind me of junior high.

I have been wanting to write a highly academic blog about toast but have yet to get arond to it. I also want to blog about: HumpbackwhalesTorontomusicKarenoNailpolishFreecheese.

Get excited for that shit.

Blog Time

2009-01-09T01:46:00.003-05:00

Ok, so, my fans are harping on me and I caved to the pressure. Here it is, a new blog. Doesn't mean it's good or sober or entertaining but now you can STFU (translated, please be quite for a while. My audience is PG.)

I've been reading Microserfs by Douglas Coupland recently (thanks Maggie!). Also, drank 3/4 of a 40 tonight with my girls Mcballs and MK (Maggie Koabel. Far better then MK Olsen, in case you're wondering) and so with the combination of the two, I present a list, or collection, ensemble, potpourri, group, blah blah blahblahblah of my thoughts.

Vodka. YES! Should have done it. Condoms. Work Hard. Oh Balls. MONEY MONEY MONEY. Donald Trump (money). I want to be a millionaire. You Know. I got your (insert NZ accent) Message. Gingivitis. Pap test. Oops. Ow. Good times. Good thing. Maybe later, maybe never. Not never, for real. Real life. Ocean. Ocean Ocean Ocean Tomatoes. Sappy. Mad Love. This is happening. Weekend of, for real. I'll pay. I Love you. Don't worry about it. Seriously, just don't worry about it, it'll all be good. The most. Kick, push Kick push (x2.5) coast. COAST.

Eat a Dick.

Coffee Time

2008-12-19T20:10:00.003-05:00

Second Cup actually.

Today I asked a "guest" if they "wanted anything else this morning". He replied, the 2 hours it took me to get here. Sorry man, I can't brew that on my Barista 98 but I can offer you a low-fat bluberry muffin with omega 3.

If Bruce Springsteen was a Comdiean I wouldn't be here.

2008-12-19T19:51:00.002-05:00

I have 784 Bruce Springsteen songs on my computer. Half of those are just duplicates of the actual songs, so I really only have 784/2 BS songs on my computer. That is still more Bruce then I have ever wanted to listen to . if I wanted Bruce, I would just sing about a penguin (don't know what that is referencing but I know it's something and someone will find it funny) or just tell my sister to grin real big (Bruce from Nemo impression). As for (sounds like) BS there is 35 mp3 files - no copies, only beats.

When eating mangos I get all up in those bitches. Seriously, there is mango every where and it is a mess. More of the juice really then physical mango but regardless of which physical mango state it is, it makes my computer sticky.

How to be more lazy - Bras on the outside.

Beefs

2008-12-08T19:28:00.003-05:00

Man, I really need to get facebook mobile so that when I take sweet pix of my gurlz at the CLUB I can upload them right away so everyone can see just how hawt we rrrr.

Oh I am hilarious.

Aside from my beef with mobile updating of already over frequented social networking sites, I also have a beef with my epidermis. Yeah you, you heard me. Don't try and hide yourself away under my only pair of socks you dried cracked heels. And what about you, my poor right hand middle and ring fingers? There is no where for you to hide. I can barely type because of you. Not to mention write notes, hold books, flip pages or fail aggravatingly. Getting in the way of dishes and enjoyable smoking is one thing, but I am in kick school ass mode right now and you are harshin my mellow.

Just saying.

I just got this BONAH. Not.

2008-11-27T08:00:00.003-05:00

I just burped and almost threw up in my mouth a little bit.

So, the B key on my keyboard is on the fritz. You have to type it twice if you want it to show up. This happens periodically with different letters on my keyboard. It rotates. My computer is drunk. As was I, Last night, which is why I feel awful right now as I attempt to finish my magnum of school work.

Lost: One grandmothers pearl earring. Somewhere between the dance floor and the bathroom at Rancho Relaxo. Let me know.

Found: My phone, thanks to the radiant Alexa Mckenzie and her boy chatting skills.

Needed: More Brains and more tylenol.

Stay tuned for pictures of last nights ballability. Up close and personal. BS for LIFE.

The Economic Crisis

2008-11-24T14:00:00.004-05:00

So apparently the economy is crashing. Some big shot borrowed money and didn't pay it back and stocks are plummeting and the dollar is down. In this time of crisis I bet you are just losing your shit. What the hell do we do? Why didn't I get a job when there was Jobs to get? Will Dior Homme still be able to put out a full line next season? I know you, my avid readers, are all asking these questions. Well, luckily I am skilled in being in an economic crisis. Having spent all my money on sushi and Pho 88, I must now budget and was broke 'd broke at the end of last year. I have collected information from last years financial report (it looked like this - 8.00$ retained earnings) and will now pass on to you the finesse that is being broke.

1. Cabbage.

Not only is it crazy good looking and grows in layers over itself thus decreaseing the amount you have to wash because the inner layers are protected by the outer and thus don't need to be washed, but it is also one of the cheapest vegetables out there being a steady 49 cents a pound at your local Asian Supermarket. Cabbage, combined with cheap as onions, carrots and your room mates gluten free soy sauce make for a very filling meal. Ask Shauna Kewin if you don't believe me.

2. Don't buy new shoes.

So what if all 3 pairs of your old 10 dollar shoes have holes in the soles, that is what socks are for. If you don't have socks like THIS GUY and your parents haven't sent you closed toed stockings in the mail with your new blender (unlike THIS GUY) then you will just have to wear your 20 dollar pair of shoes from last winter even though they smell like vinegar, are covered in steamed milk from your shit job at Second Cup and are a 1/4 size to small.

3. Walk every where, no matter what.

So what if you were at a friend of a friends house drinking liters of wine and your feet are so cracked that you can barley put any pressure on them, you just have to walk. While transit is less expensive than a cab, personal car or jet pack it is still upwards of 2.25 in almost every city. Add up two transit rides and there goes your Hot and Sour soup budget for the weak. If I've learned one thing, it's never compromise your Hot and Sour soup budget.

Now, you bright young souls, take what I gave given you and run like the wind. Not too far though, because you will have to walk back to the Asian Supermarket when you get hungry and your feet will hurt if you walk for like, 2 hours every day (like THIS GUY).

Also, this weeks reader of the month award goes to Santana Saftenberg. Your plaque is in the mail.

5:57 and 13 seconds.

Currently playing: Clouds That Look Like Things
Saw them last night at their CD release party. They are boys and they are good looking. And they play music. Nuff said.

Current favorite: Kittenwar.com. In particular this one.

Current grievance: Having to soak my nose in a tea cup with hot water and non-iodized sea salt twice a day cause of these bitches:

That is all.

Cash Flow

2008-10-20T10:25:00.003-04:00

Did you know:

Free toilet paper is way cheaper than bought toilet paper.

I would like to thank my program building and Pho 88 for not apprehending me as I was taking some free toilet paper.

Should I be apprehended one day and be forced to buy tp, it will all be ok because my boss pied me to run home and deliver 3 bags of hot chocolate syrup to his other store by my house. That's the best 9 dollars i've ever made

Girl Power.

2008-10-07T22:01:00.003-04:00

"Menstruation is a literal symbol of our power as women to be able to create life, and as such should not be treated as garbage."
- Lunapads.com

So I am looking in to diva cups, which I have heard are the greatest things of all time. If you know where I can buy them, please me know. I have approx. 10 days. Apparently you can buy them at Grassroots on Bloor between Bathurust and Spandina, for all you Torontonians out there. Thanks Maggie.

Basically, I'm stoked to be environmentally friendly and save money and embrace all that jazz.

How much does a pound of feathers weigh?

2008-10-07T10:59:00.005-04:00

This mornings battle goes as such: Accouting vs. Kmudry.com
You know the outcome.

So today is just like anyday but not really in the respect that it's a lot more like this day - blog post for Oct 3, 2006, because I am seeing the Lovely feathers tonight. It is very exciting. Seeing your favorite band for free in your favorite city at one of your favorite venues with your best friend Molly Mcfaul when you haven't seen the band in two years and they have an albums worth of new material to play is probably one of the most exciting things you could ever think of.

This is Happening.

Mad love also goes out to Molly Swain because I adore her and wish that she was here as well as her wee bro JBS and my wee sta's Jo Jo and Stefalyn because we all love this band heaps. Mad Love.

Not so pro.

2008-10-06T14:53:00.002-04:00

To get in to the real mood of this post, you should probably listen to some Sounds Like BS because that is what I am currently doing. Well, was doing when I wrote this. It's fresh shit, up from the basement.

Right Right Right so here we go.

Basically I was going to write some concert review for a Toronto blog - BlogTO but I have bad grammar so that might not happen. For now, you can read my attempt at pro blogging below:

Evangelicals – Your new favorite Ghost Rock band

Imagine it’s an overcast, misty night in late September with only 34 days till Halloween – the perfect setting for an Evangelicals show. Ok, well maybe not exactly but that doesn’t mean that this band out of Norman, Oklahoma would ever be anything less then awesome. The evening at Sneakys Dee’s started out with two local bands, both who’s named failed to be mentioned coherently. While both were decent local acts, the highlight of the openers was the drumming from the first band. An all girls band, they make the kind of music I assume the witches from hamlet would have made should they had been young gorgeous hipsters in waist high skinnies with a 3 piece drum kit. Along with the usual band equipment (guitar, bass and keyboard/synth) these three girls whipped up some interesting and highly impressive rhythms while alternating talents between the various instruments. The lack of seating at the kit made the drumming even better to watch and more impressive.

As night grew older and the numbers of people in the bar fluctuated from 30 to 40 up to 50 and back down to 40, the Evangelicals started setting up. You know a set is going to be good when the first thing you see is a drum kit is dripping with fake blood. After setting up the rest of their gear, including fog machine, the band asked if they could get the red lights on the side of the stage turned off. Yeah, awesome now the purple ones at the front of the stage two. What was left was a ghostly looking stage, 4 young guys and high expectations. As an owner of their lastest CD, The Evening Descends put out by Dead Ocean Records, I knew this show was going to be worth my 7 dollars (10 at the door but I bought my ticket in advance at Rotate This.) even if the contains of the bar had dwindled down to 25 people. The boys in the band obviously felt good vibes as I did as they launched right in to their energetic graveyard-indie rock. It truly was like your favorite indie Bands (Broken Social Scene and The Shins of course) died and wrote a new album from the comfort of their coffins. The reverberating echoes, haunting ouhs and ahhs and bone chilling samplers and synths help the fog machine to give the Evangelicals their whole sound and look. After a good set of all old and new songs, the band finished to the cheers of Encore! Encore! Granted, it was just he 10 last people who all were large fans who were yelling this but nothing is better then and intimate show with a great band. After chats and hugs with the band, the time had come and my bed was calling. All in all, one of my favorite Sneaky Dees experiences. Besides the nachos.

You can probably buy Evening Descends at your preferred local music store, or for those less in need of tangible things, for sure in the iTunes along with there previous release, So Gone.

City Tunes

2008-09-25T09:37:00.002-04:00

I'm lazy. This is a fact. My laziness is encouraged and duplicated by the people I live with and who sit on our proch. That is why it often takes a massive effort to get up and take advantage of the amazing city we live in. Ok, I'll admit, we're pretty good at going to 7-11 and the LCBO but only because we have secret shortcuts. That said, a grand effort was put in last night to walk the darkened streets of Toronto and see some friends bands and have some good times. As per usual, the benefits where greater then the cost.

Luckily, I live right by College and Spadina which puts almost everything i've ever wanted within walking distance. Technically, everything is within walking distance if you have the time, but lets be realistic here people. I walk to school and work everyday and my bum is a lot more equipped to be on the ground then my feet but that just comes back round to the aforementioned laziness. Anyways, we went to some shows, kicked out some jams and came home to make ravioli and talk about how great music is. I would like to thank the following to bands for making this double headed night possible:

Great Lenin's Ghost - Meet them last year while doing a student CD project at school. They graduated but that doesn't mean that they stopped making sweet electro pop beats that all the pretty ladies can loose their shit to. They played at Rancho Relaxo which is an awesome little bar that can be filled to the brim with all your amigos to support kick ass local music.

The Owle Bird - The wind down to the evening at the Tranzac, a lovely little place with many rooms and people and characters. The Owle Bird played there monthly last year and have a CD release coming soon which is great because their melancholy tunes find every dissonant chord, waverly percussive moment and poignant string line that you ever wanted.

Luckily, both shows were PWYC which means that I now have no more change/money of any sort because I lost my bank card again. That's my 2nd one in a week. Balls.

On a side note, if you've seen my bank card (BMO), drivers license or Mastercard let me know. Don't call me though, cause I can't find my cell phone either.

Grettings earthlings!

2008-09-09T12:55:00.002-04:00

Before I got on the plane last week my dad asked if I was going to take a shower. I replied, UH! NO!. I flippin hate showers. By dad was then like, "Well, Katie, it looks like you just got in from off the streets, like you've been living out there." I countered my fathers attack on my image by asking him if it really did look like i'd been living outside. Really? for how long? like 4 months maybe? BECAUSE THAT IS THE TRUTH! Now i'm inside, but I still flippin hate showers.

Civilization brings many issues that you normally don't deal with when you live in tipis at summer camp. Here are just a few:

What to do with my dreadlocks. They are free and crazy and appear by themselves. I can't tell if they look good or if they actually look like dangles of poo. The shower issues also plays in to this.

Will I really not receive service should I refuse to wear shoes? I have found that unless you are at an establishment that is full of drunken fools and you are one of them and it is past midnight and there is glasses all over the floor, you usually can not wear shoes and still get served. not like, YOU GOT SERVED! and get dance battled, but as in buy a book or avacado or something. Your ability to GET SERVED! has nothing to do with your shoes, it has everything to do with you ballability, as in, how ballin you are.

How much sushi can you really eat? Sushi star on Spadina just across from my house has 9.99 all you can eat Sushi for lunch. Along with some intrepid Australian comrades, we discovered that if you eat all the sushi you can truly eat, you go in to a food coma and must move a mattress then sleep on it for 3 hours in order to digest all the delicious sushi you just stuffed in your face. Should I ever run fully out of money, it will be because I have just beat my personal best at sushi eating thanks to this great place.

Houses have locks, unlike tipis. That means that if you come home at 2 in the morning and your house is locked and everyone is asleep you have to walk to your friends house where they hopefully are still a wake so you can sleep on their couch even though you are paying 460$ a month to sleep on a futon you took from the garbage and put in your own house. Also, houses don't have fire pits, so that's a bit lame. They do have balconys, electric guitars and organs though, so I guess they're ok.

On Sanja Mladjenovic:

She would be a great Jew, will most likely drink wine instead of cutting her children's crusts off and doesn't eat fauna but is most found of flora. If you know what I mean.

That's Crunchy.

2008-04-16T10:18:00.004-04:00

Due to circumstances of others immaturity and my unwillingness to be grown peoples mothers, my apartment is lacking in forks. I have taken to eating with a plastic fork I grabbed from the cafeteria one day. It is black and beautiful and has been a solid friend for the past month. Unfourtuantely, the left most prong broke off today in my stir fry. What is even more disturbing is that I ate the whole bowl and didn't find it.

Musical mumblings - "I'm from Barcelona" is the name of a good band. They are not actually from Barcelona, they are from Jönköping, Sweden. Just more proof that Sweden is the ultimate. Follow this link to see Sweden's homepage, one of the best country websites ever.

On Andrew Davis:

2008-04-14T08:04:00.002-04:00

He wears dresses from peru, licks his plate like a kitten and his favorite website is cuteoverload.com

This is my first profile piece. Stay tuned for more in depth analysis of people I know but you may not.

Also, went to a party this weekend (I guess it was ok) and sustained the following injuries - sprained finger and foot, large cut in bottom foot (luckily there was no glass in it), 3 massive blisters on my hands and there is a scratch on the top of my head with sparse amounts of hair and dried blood around it.

In addition to that I have a dreadlock, my hair is falling out and there is still sharpie all over my hands and face. If any wants to tap this shit, just look for the impoverished girl making pokemon impressions. That's me. PARTY!

On desicison making

2008-04-11T10:00:00.002-04:00

Issue. Well, multiple actually.

So like, I haven't blogged in a while and now that I only have 2 weeks left till I go to camp I have buttloads of ideas of how to enhance not only my blogging experience, but yours. I've been reading lots of cooking blogs lately and I'm thinking that I should have some specialties or features or something or just make a cooking blog of my own.

Example Cooking blog:

I am a gluten free vegan who can't digest peanut butter, fat of almost any kind or broccoli. Today's entry is going to focus on how tofu adds awesome texture to your everyday stir firy (everyday as in the stirfry you make everyday, the exact same way). Tofu is even greater if you squish it up and pretend like it's feta. If you pretend real hard, it's almost like you are greece.

Issue with that blog is that, well, the above pretty much summed up my entire cooking experience.

Other Potential directions for "So I said...":

Full on Balls Out Music Blog
Issue - the only music like is Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin and Tokyo Police Club.

Reviews of Restaurants (mainly Asian and special gluten-free vegan places)
Issue - I'm poor

A Blog About Whales and Their Awesomeness
Issue - I don't have a pet whale and am to scared of large animals to ever get one.

Toronto Concert Reviews
Issue - they would all go like this: IT WAS AWESOME AND MAGICALANDEVERYTHINGIEVERWANTEDANDICRIED. Except for when Flash Lightnin open for people or Caribou plays so fucking loud that my body was raped by sound. Then it would go like this: Lame.

Running Blog
Issue: I forgot my foam roller on the other side of the country which screws up my IT band and limits the amount of time I can run for. That and I'm just a fatty.

Hummus Blog
Issue: It's been done.

If you, the audience, has any suggestions or visions for the new direction of K Mudry's personal blog please feel free to comment. Until then, you will just have to listen to me thinking I'm hilarious and watch my concert videos.

In the meantime check out these blogs:
Your Vegan Mom
The Anchor Center
Toronto Celiac
I Guess I'm Floating

My favorite music blog was this one. Just cause it's no longer active doesn't mean you shouldn't spend hours reading all the previous posts. After you read all of mine.

Order of business:

2008-04-04T16:56:00.004-04:00

1. I AM FAT

This is so unfortunate. You know that one day when your just chillin with yourself and your like holy crap! Where did all this extra self come!? Well, that day was today. My body is a disaster. As is my room. I am currently looking at two old apple cores, a plastic fork covered in syrup, and two empty hummus containers. This is a public service announcement - If you used to be an athlete and then decided to pursue something stupid like academics or music, go back to athletics otherwise you will end up looking like this:

2. CHARACTER HUMOR IS HILARIOUS

After having a delightful morning with my extra self I decided I needed a little pick me up so I went apps-quicktime-file-open-external hard drive-Nacho Libre-play-Full Screen. What a hoot that film is. While expressing my love for Jared Hess and his hilarious films at lunch, some friends of mine said Jared Hess was an awful writer because he just relies on character humor. So what? That's life yo. Clint Eastwood isn't going to come along and give you a kickass script, massive budget screen test you with Phillipe Seymour Hoffman and film your witty and well thought-out travel through any form of life, pre or post pubescent. All there is you and your own character. And I'm warning you, if you can't make that work for you, HBO is probably going to cancel your reality show.

3. I HAVE A NEW HOME

We are signing a lease today. Thrilling! The house is kind of mal-designed and you have to crawl up an extension ladder to get to my bed. Also, there is dirt everywhere. Hopefully I will stop finding new fat extensions on myself so that I can still climb up the ladder and not have it crumble beneath me.

4. SAVE THE WHALES

They are awesome. Nuff Said.

Spring - it's happening.

2008-03-30T01:36:00.002-04:00

So my tights are getting dirty and i'm running out of laundry coinage/I don't do laundry which means that spring aka. "tight free season" is upon us.

This means:

Bar patios are opening. GLORY! Broken city, get ready for this shit.
Working out is essential for good looking tight free legs. Ginger Spice, you are me and I am you.
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is back in action. Their new album is delightful. I have been waiting for it since last summer and it is making my life great right now. Check it out.

Woh! Awesome!

Sunday list...less

2008-03-16T12:05:00.002-04:00

Upon waking up from the gentle caress of half a 40 of Moskovskaya, I felt the need to severly re-evaluate things in my life. The following list, split in two parts entitled GOOD and BAD was thought up as I lay in bed, rather LISTlessly.

BAD
24 hour grocery stores.
Money - especially not having any or losing it.
Corn chips - I am officially intolerant.
Hummus - still good but the amount I eat and the fiscal detriment it is doing to me is bad.
Always passing out before you get to the bar.

GOOD
Kenny vs. Spenny
Misogynist Fashion tips with Kenny Hotz.
Almond Roca - just because I can't eat it doesn't mean you should stop your self from enjoying it and stuffing your face with it.
Summer Camp.
Going to the bathroom when you really need to - say it with me, AHHHHH.

I would have added Tokyo Police Club to the good list, but that would be a redundancy as it should be just generally assumed that they are good because I am their biggest fan.

Helping you to cut a rug.

2008-03-11T11:31:00.004-04:00

Here is a sweet tune to help you bust up the dance floor, shake your groove thing or simply cut a rug. If you don't have a rug feel free to cut your collars, paper, the corporate budget or even your hair.

Theatre of Disco - On the Train

Secondly, Good Shoes have good music videos:

Lastly, The Wombats have a new album out. It should be great.

Uploaded: a butt load.

2008-03-10T16:16:00.003-04:00

Last week was Canadian Music week. It was great. I was out every night. Now I am tired and bruised (well, that is from falling down stairs, not CMW) and have an essay to write.

How to write a sociology essay:
1. Open up MS Word and Firefox
2. Google APA referencing style
3. Screw that shit and instead photo edit and re-format videos so as to upload them to the interweb while non stop thinking about how much you love Tokyo Police Club.

According to the above, I should 100% on my essay.

To celebrate successfully completing your essay, check out these sweet bands:
Plants and Animals
The Sun Parlour Players

Photos and Videos from CMW. More videos to come.

Also, here is a review a friend did of my night at the horseshoe. I got a photo cred so, awesome.

Eugene Hutz is the Sex.

2008-03-03T14:30:00.007-05:00

Saw Gogol Bordello last night. It was epic, amazing, sexy, sweaty and everything I have ever wanted. I want to have sex with Eugene Hutz more than anyone else on the planet.

Tonight I saw The Hives. As Howlin' Pelle said, "This is not a dream! You are actually seeing the Hives, live!" He is the most adorable, scissor kicking, suit wearing man I have ever seen.

I will tell my children and my grandchildren about how I saw two of the greatest bands and sexiest men EVER, live in Toronto, back to back.

Gogol Photos and Videos

p.s This Band is dedicated to Ste(a)fi because without him, I wouldn't know the Glory that is Gogol Bordello and to Ev-Star because often the only Cd we listened to in his car was Veni Vidi Vicious. Also, because of this dedication, they can no longer say my blog is lame. If they do, I will break their bones. I took karate.

Less politics, More garbanzo.

2008-03-02T02:07:00.002-05:00

I just finished off a tub of Jerusalem hummus. It blew my mind. For reals, there is derivatives, ink compositions, and tenor clefs all over the walls. It's a mess. After eating the glory that is Jerusalem hummus, I realized why every one wants Jerusalem as their promised land. Someone should alert the U.N that the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict isn't buffer zones and peace keepers, it chickpeas. Get enough chick peas to produce Jerusalem hummus for every person in the middle east and nothing but love, understanding and religious harmony will come of it.

So babies on youtube is the new craze, in case you didn't know.

Baby laughing and falling over

Dear Humanity:

2008-02-29T08:51:00.003-05:00

You are great and wonderful. After some bitchass dick face stole my computer, a man named Faisal contacted me saying he thought he was sold my stolen computer. How did he find me, you ask? By finding my name on the power pack and hidden within the system, googling that shit and coming upon your favorite place on the internet, my BLOG. In the past month and 7 days I have:

Gotten my computer stolen.
Recieved 27 thou in computer insurance.
Learned to read. With a vengeance.
Become productive.
Had a restored faith in Humanity.
Ended up with a computer AND 1,900$ (2,700 minus the 800 I am reimbursing Faisal, Toronto's most outstanding craig's lister)

But what does this mean for you, my avid reader? Glory! That is what! Not only will I be able to blog everyday all day now, but kmudry.com is going through an major overhaul and it is now so much more than just a vanity project. It is a collaboration. A good looking one. Check it out. Do it.

Stay tuned for more exciting adventures of the intrepid K Mudge. Things to come include name dropping (Vilay, Vilay, Vilayathi Ali!), music recommendations (Christina Aguilera) and more about how much I love vegetables! (tomatoes and beans, tomatoes and beans).

p.s This post is dedicated to Sloozebag Salamandick. Get your dick sucked.

All I ever want is a bean salad.

2008-02-09T15:53:00.000-05:00

I love beans, in all their shapes and forms. Example: one time I had a meal of chickpea salad (also know as the garbanzo BEAN), Hummus (from chickpeas) and falafal balls (also from chickpea). For my Birthday fest I bought two different beans salads and hummus. Everything is better with hummus. Refried beans are also amazing. In tacos, on bread, mainly with salsa. Chili is another great bean incorporated meal. I can't even talk about chili it is so great.

Did you know: Kidney Beans are toxic unless throughly washed and cooked for 10 mins.

Beans are also great because I am not allergic to them, unlike most delicious things in life.

On this special day.....

2008-02-07T09:36:00.000-05:00

It's my birthday! Thrilling.

When I walk home from the gym in my sweat pants and throw my hood up real aggressive like, I feel like Muhammad Ali.

I'm getting back in the Pokemon. and Sailor Moon. If you are looking to have a Sailor Moon viewing party, let me know because I am buying some dvds today as a birthday present to my self. I will wear my Spice Girls shirt while we watch and we can eat fruit by the foots and pretends like the 90's never ended.

My computer got stolen. So, that is shitty.

The Best of the Best. or BOB, if you will.

2008-01-15T12:25:00.000-05:00

Last year I didn't really excel at being a part time uni student or national level biathlete. I did how ever produce some of the greatest blog posts of my blogging career. Here they are:

My current status as a Pure Math Major is not helping me achieve my dreams.

I Hate the following.

So I'm doing the whole "good/smart big sister role" and helping my idiot of a sister with her grade 10 French book which is actually a book I read in grade 8 French class cause I'm smart.

Sorry Robin Hood, you've been duped.

The latter group of people are huge losers.

Girl Crushes are a wonderful thing.

In the midst of a solo dance party in my kitchen...

I love Christina Aguilera.

ATTENTION WORLD!

...the delicious Molly Swain.

Should you dance in a tight black dress, it will most likely rip from the zipper to your mid thigh.

...a maladie undisclosed.

A slow one for asthma.

Yesterday I was all "man my eyelashes are frosting"...

...for reasons which are undisclosed to the public at time of publishing (and for an infinite amount of time after publishing) .

Kids, don't be idiots. Leave your homes and go to summer camp. It is the best place in the world.

Dancing hardcore with broken pants.

Ewan Mcgregor is a babe and drugs are bad. Real Bad.

Spell check is not working

My sister and I had massive plans for the best Sailormoon website ever

I think a medium sized alien is about to rip it's way out of my stomach and then devour me from head to toe.

My mother thinks i'm a miserable child. I think she is too stressed and afraid of laziness/relaxation.

Got a new blog layout. It's black. Like my heart.

Unfortunately it hit her right in the eye and she cried a bit, but it was still hilarious.

Why is it that inspiration and the motivation to do great things comes to me at the most inopportune times?

I practice killing people regularly.

Every time in breath I instill fear in the heart of some Hell's Angels member.

That is all beside the point however because the true fact of the matter/my life is that I LOVE ZACH BRAFF.

See kids, high school is not for naught.

At this moment in time I have done 0 of my homework and 0 of my reading which will probably get me very little above a 0 on my mid-terms, when ever they may be. I'm a little bit stressed right now due to this fact.

Bad news - kick starting my life is not going so well
More bad news - i am a huge loser with no friends

How will I do this? By sitting on my blog and making a list of course!

Also, I really like the part when Camille, played by Solange Knowles, is ready to throw down. She's just like "Carisha! Hold my shit" and starts to take out her shoulder length hoop earrings. Clearly she has done this before.

I have to go to class. Balls.

Best Albums of 2007

2008-01-15T11:09:00.000-05:00

My body doesn't digest the majority of delicious food and I have trouble sleeping. This makes me miserable. To not be miserable I spend 12.22 on mushrooms, hummus and sushi at my local overpriced grocery store. I also listen to music.

The following albums are totally kickass and make me happy. Hopefully they came out in 2007 to adhere to the title of this post. If not, oh well. I listened to them extensive amounts this year and since I'm the authority on everything, thats what really counts. Also, I am really confused by my chronology right now.

The Dudes - Brain heart Guitar (2006)
Amy Winehouse - Frank
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Woodpigeon - Songbook
The Wombats - The Wombats EP
Voxtrot - Voxtrot
Bright Eyes - Cassadaga
Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics (2006)
Stars - Do you trust your Friends?
Stars - In the Bedroom after the War
Gogol Bordello - Super Taranta
Feist - The Reminder
Good Shoes - Think before you speak
The Grates - Gravity Won't Get you High (2006)
Los Campesinos - Sticking Fingers Into Sockets
Eskimo and Sons - How does it Feel to be Crushed by One Man with the Strength of a Million
Kanye West - Late Registration (2005)
Mother Mother - Touch up
Kate Nash - Made of Bricks

A couple of really disappointing albums:
Tegan and Sara - The Con
Kanye West - Graduation
Justice - (Cross)

Why?

Tegan and Sara have been whining for forever. There old stuff is good when your 16 and there is tension everywhere but they need to grow up. Graduation is basically just Kanye thinking he is the shit. He isn't. Late Registration was way better and he probably wont put out anything that good again. Justice is a douche bag. He didn't even title the album. I thought religions exploitation was used by hip hop folk and George Bush, not little DJ Electro dance boys. Also, I know this guy named Dan you could whip up and album entitled (Star of David) and kick Justice's ass.

What the Deuce.

Hair

2008-01-09T23:05:00.000-05:00

My hair grows fairly rapidly. If my hair was in the olympics, it would probably be able to finish (and win) the Triathlon faster then someone running the 5 km. Pretty soon I wont have to wear clothes my hair will be so long.

2008-01-06T20:10:00.000-05:00

As my first post of the new year, I feel this should be epic. I also feel like I should compile a list of my favorite albums or something because I profess to like music a lot. That said, I am a) lazy and b) think a year is way to long a period of time to evaluate (this is namely due to my laziness). An epic and music filled entry with tops and bottoms and fav fads may appear. Hopefully. My new years resolution is to be less a lame ass slob and do more things that are interesting and stimulating. I say this a lot.

Regardless, this first blog of the new year (however many days late it may be) is dedicated to my most avid reader, Rosanna Crawford. Fear not my heart, fan club t-shirts are coming out soon. After I re evaluate my financial situation.

Evaluation of Financial situation:
Not as much as I had last semester.

This means less sushi and band merch. LCBO spendings and concert ticket fees however have squeezed past the cut. It was a tight race but after an intense period of prioritization I remembered what the two most important tings in my life are: Peace and Love. Jokes - Booze and Beats.

Along with my pledge to be more stimulating, I as well resolve to find out what the deuce is wrong with my intestines/body. This knowledge coupled with my new workout regime (it entails actually going to the gym) will hopefully help me reach my last new years goal: rockin a bod like that of Ginger Spice. I will then reunite with my childhood girl band for our reunion tour. See you at the Gardens.

Office Quote of the Day:

2007-12-13T09:45:00.000-05:00

Why tip someone for a job I’m capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist. Because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.
- Dwight Shcrute

I do cut my own hair, but I didn't tip my urologist.

Why do I wake up feeling shitty all the time? Oh, right, because my body refuses to enter the REM cycle most nights.

One day kids. In just over 24 hours I am going to be out of this shapeless province of Ontario and surrounded by Mountains and Mollys and Majestic people of all sorts. Holy CRAPARAP.

So tell me bout your mom.

2007-12-10T17:52:00.000-05:00

I am coming home in 4 days. I am growing my hair long like the seaweed. First album I am listening to at home is Chad VanGaalen's Skeliconnection because I forgot it there and it is awesome. The Chad is Awesome. Calgary is awesome. Seaweed and Sushi are awesome.

Here is a song from Infiniheart for you:
Chad VanGaalen - After the Afterlife

Today a man told me I was living art. He also said my friend needs a tiara because she is a queen and asked my jewish friend if he was a musher, as in dog sled racer.

Get ready.

2007-12-05T18:41:00.000-05:00

This is why I want kids. They are a hoot.

The Plan - 12 days.

2007-12-02T13:58:00.000-05:00

I have 12 days before I am home. In that time I have to study and go see Hanson, Los Campesinos!, Kevin Drew, and Apostle of Hustle. The remainder of the time I am doing nothing. That is a lot of nothing.

I am back in the habit of eating. Copious amounts, very frequently. My plan is to eat all the food in my apartment in the next 2-3 days and then be forced to study out of boredom because I have no food left to eat. I have also made a vow to only buy food from the grocery store. This means no eating out which means more money in my bank account which means more Strongbows at Broken city with my girlfriend and best friends in 12 days time.

The count down has begun. Go put the widget on your desktop.

"Please don't let me die"

2007-12-01T17:18:00.000-05:00

Last Monday and Thrusday I saw Stars. They were the two best shows I have ever been to.

Stars - One More Night on Vimeo.

Follow the link for a High Definition video. Follow this link for pictures.

My heart is an orchestra and Stars is the conductor.

A Kickass Friday. For Realz

2007-11-23T16:49:00.000-05:00

I play freetetris.org

Level: 11
Lines: 102
Points: 30,395

And I'm listening to Fall Out Boy.

I have a final tomorrow. AWESOME!

2007-11-21T17:27:00.000-05:00

Things I am good at:

Procrastinating
freetetris.org, but only when procrastinating. This is a researched fact.
Eating copious amounts of food.
Drinking copious amounts of alcohol.
Dressing well, occasionally.
Finding bargins (ok so the dollar bin is not that hidden but still)
Being intolerant to food.
Listening to Salt n' Peppa.
Missing people.

That's about it.

I love you Back.

2007-11-19T14:02:00.001-05:00

One time I saw a shirt that said "I love you back" but I didn't have any money to buy it. I might by this one instead:

Or you could get it for me for x-mas. Mens small, ladies and gents.

Nostalgia sess

2007-11-18T10:06:00.000-05:00

I have a lot of clothes. I have lost some of my favorite clothes. I left my best two jackets on the otherside of the country. Bad life choice.

And now for a series of photos that I really like, taken by others, of me.

I'm intolerant.

2007-11-18T06:50:00.000-05:00

I should copywrite myself.

2007-11-15T20:26:00.000-05:00

Guess what Willamina just said on Ugly Betty. BALLS! Clearly she and I have been hanging out too much.

Dear Everyone I've ever laughed with:

2007-11-13T18:32:00.000-05:00

I miss you and love you.

I am currently listening to Spirit if... Broken Social Scenes/really Kevin Drew's new album. I am finding it mediocre. Is something wrong with me? No, I've always been this way.

I come home on Dec 14. It will probably be one of the best days of both my life and yours.

Today I found a bike trail to run on and heard a bird. There are not a lot of birds in Toronto. It was a beautiful sound.

The sound of my unwritten essay however is more of a painful groan.

yours truly,
K Mudry

Sometimes I Fall.

2007-11-12T00:55:00.001-05:00

Why? Because I am over come with emotion.

Tonight I saw Razorlight. Was it incredible? Yes. Who opened you ask? The fucking Von Bondies. Did I meet them? Of course.

I now own a pick from Carl Dalemo, Razorlights bassist. And a set list. Did Johnny Borell make eye contact and smile at me while playing VICE? YES! Afterwards I waited round but they were sick so just snuk into a car. It's ok though, cause Johnny saw me and waved and I waved back. Incredible.

Did I mention that while I was waiting I met Tokyo Police Clubs tour manager? Yeah, no biggie.

I can barley breath. Oh life, you amaze me.

This is way I'm Hot.

2007-11-11T03:43:00.000-05:00

I have never heard that song.

Regardless, here is a list of my most attractive features:

I wear a retainer.
I am allergic. To everything.
I am often bloated.
I burp louder, better and more frequently than anyone I know.
I want babies. Now.
I am emotionally unavailable.
I pee with the door open. Always.
Alcohol makes me happy and is fairly essential.
I will ditch you for a band any day.
I hate showering.
I don't to laundry.
I make a lot of faces. All which are very attractive.
I have lots of emotions.

My number is posted on my profile. I don't live by a beach, nor ever have and need to get orthodics before I take anymore long walks.

Optics

2007-11-06T06:18:00.000-05:00

I hate fake glasses. Straight up. You wanted fucked up eyes bitches? Really? You want your eyes to slowly deteriorate as you grow older so that you will eventually be not be able to see when you get out of bed in the morning? How fucked up of you.

I have real glasses for my (not so) slowly deteriorating eye sight. Wait, no, some asshole of a bitch face took them. Or I am really good at hiding them while drunk. But they are my essence. Why would I hide them? Give them back you jealous prick. You probably don't even need them.

Thanks for the replacements Dan. You got heart, boi. Unlike all those thieves out there. Yeah, and I want my shoes back too.

I ate mac and cheese last night which is probably the cause of my meaner then usual blogging style. Never again. For realZ.

(This will be really embarrassing if my items turn up in some random corner at the Fletcherdome.)

Article number two in my highly academic and researched Blog.

2007-11-02T19:23:00.000-04:00

Microsoft is buying 1.6 percent of Facebook inc. That is 240 million dollars. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook Inc., is a billionaire. How the hell does he make money? I don't pay Mark anything to go on facebook for 5 hours a day. Kim Hession, a fellow ryerson student and also my western comrade, and I think it comes down to stocks and people buying stocks in Facebook Inc. I don't really get how the stock market works, but wouldn't buying stocks in Facebook Inc. just be like buying stocks in boredom, procrastination, and my inability to get a job?

How to sweat and be awesome.

2007-11-02T13:19:00.000-04:00

Go to see Spiral Beach and The Go! Team. It will rock your body and everything around it. No jokes, the floor was shaking.

More photos here.
