3.21/366: Kim Jong Un’s cocaine palace

I love the show SCHITT’S CREEK. It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. The final season is airing on the Pop channel, but Indont have that, so I’ll have to wait for Netflix. Check it out for now. I’ve written about it before, but if you don’t know the show, Alexis references over the top insane situations she’s supposedly been in.

This is a fun thing. Here’s mine:

”Oh really, David. Ok, well you try being given the antidote but losing it and having to backflip hour way out of Kim Jung Un’s cocaine palace with no Yen left and 14 pesetas, David. Ugh!”

3.17/366: I love Jessica Hische

It’s been a few years since I’ve written about typographer and illustrator Jessica Hische and I looked her up today to see what she’s been up to, as she’s always done interesting things.

This is from her website:

In a follow up to New York Times Bestseller Tomorrow I’ll be Brave, award- winning author and illustrator Jessica Hische takes young readers on a new, extraordinary journey that encourages them to be helpful, patient, gentle, honest, generous, grateful, and above all, kind. Each small act of kindness, even those by the smallest people, helps make the world a better place.

Here are some illustrations from Tomorrow I’ll be Brave.

If you have young children, you should buy this book.

If you don’t have young children and you have a sense of humor and curse a little, you might like these prints and one pin (I do):

I love these. Jessica Hische is super talented and funny. And she belongs in the Museum of Natural Mother Fucking Awesomeness.

3.16/366: Thoughts on House Hunters

I usually have HGTV on during the day while I’m doing stuff (when I’m not watching true crime) and I’ve watched House Hunters forever, but I’ve noticed a trend. And I have thoughts.

    When did Realtors become ”REAL-a-tors?” you can’t just throw an extra syllable up in there. This is not 14th century England.
    Guy on House Hunters walked into a kitchen and said ”this is the island of my dreams!” it was a peninsula. Get it right, Sebastiann with two Ns.
    Couple on Beachfront Bargain Hunt says ”you can fit a king size bed in here” in both bedrooms. No you can’t.
    I’ve stayed in very condo on Beachfront Bargin Hunt. Except the one that had the washer/dryer combo with a toilet next to it.
    The best episode of International House Hunters EVER was in Ireland. The buyer and her friend, looking at a house that was all cinderblock on the inside, no flooring, no plumbing roughed-in. The realtor says in EVERY room, “this could be a bedroom or an office or a bathroom.” The friend says “you could sit right there with a glass of wine, looking out the window and wondering what went wrong with your life.”
    Half the women on House Hunters who go into a kitchen built before 2005 say it’s dated. Girl, change the countertops — BOOM — perfect kitchen.
    Every buyer on Island Hunters complains that the tile (in Mexico) that is very of-the-area needs to be changed. You are in Mexico, don’t act like you’re expecting granite.
    Stop asking if you can have a chicken coop.
    Why does everyone say ”This would be a great area to entertain in?” I want one person to say ”This would be a great area for a sectional and coffee table for my laptop for most nights when I’m in my PJs by seven eating caramel corn out of the giant Christmas tin, watching Forensic Files and posting memes on Facebook.”
    Every buyer on International House Hunters says ”There’s a washer, but no dryer/the closets are small/I wish the ceiling was higher/is this near City Centre?/oh, cobblestone.”
    Beachfront Bargain Hunt’s buyers are always surprised one of the condos/homes isn’t ON the beach. Every episode.
    I’ve said this before, but more and more, couples have $900,000 budget and the woman is a professional pre-school soccer coach and the man maintains the Croatian Olympic Luge team’s Twitter account. Or the man is wrist watch model and the woman names heirloom organic turkeys.

    A friend posted this on the Facebooks and I thought it would make a fun blog post.
