Instagram Dump #14

Nobody should use Instagram. It’s terrible.

a photo of the label that canada post puts on mail that has been damaged
Ggggrrrr…

Canada Post is the worst. They’re always breaking things, losing them or being horrible slow.

a photo of three "aesthetic" notebooks
Literary!

I believe these notebooks are what the kids these days call “aesthetic”.

a photo of a green leuchtturm notebook with an orange cat sticker on the cover
Kitty!

I stuck a cute kitty sticker on the front of this Leuchtturm notebook.

I have no idea how to pronouce “Leuchtturm”.

a photo of a kodak ektra cellphone
Sleek!

This is a Kodak Ektra cellphone. It has Android 6, a small battery and a Sony sensor, but it shoots in RAW and has a dedicated shutter button, so I enjoy it. It was also discounted by $300, so that was nice.

a photo of the dedicated shutter button on the kodak ektra cellphone
Buttony!

Look at the dedicated shutter button! Be amazed!

a photo of the leather case for the kodak ektra cellphone
Casey!

This is the leather case for the Kodak Ektra cellphone. I got it for free because why would anybody want this?

a photo of a glass decanter that is blue with a pointy stopper
Bluey!

We don’t even put liquid in it, because it’s hard to clean, but this blue decanter is pretty to look at.

a photo of a green glass decanter with a design etched into its surface
Pretty!

This decanter is dirty on the inside. I like the pattern etched into it, though.

a photo of some shelves with a large amount of vhs tapes on them
Tapey!

My family has a large amount of VHS tapes. People tell me that the Disney tapes are worth a lot of money, but I’m not sure about that.

a closeup photo of a pinecone sitting in some snow
Piney!

This is a pinecone. There are a lot of pinecones in Canada.

a photo of some rocks, roots and snow
Rocky!

Nature is beautiful. But it will eat you.

a photo of a pink rock candy and a blue rock candy
Sugary!

Rock candy is mostly a novelty. I don’t think the taste is all that great and the texture is unpleasant.

a photo of a hand wearing a giant jeweled ring with lots of jewels
Sparkly!

This ring is WAY too bit for my tiny, weird child hand.

a photo of jewel earrings in green, blue, red and white
Pretty!

These earrings are heavy. I should get some of those earring support patches that go on the back of your earlobe, so my ear holes don’t get stretched out.

a photo of a tin of limited edition vaseline lip therapy in pink bubbly flavour
Special!

I think that they put out this limited edition Vaseline for the royal wedding. It is very special.

a photo of a very large metal crocodile neck that is encrusted with rhinestones
Bitey!

This necklace is very heavy. I probably should wear jewellry that can cause my body horrible damage.

a photo of a black rhinestone necklace with black rhinestone skulls hanging off of it
Spooky!

This necklace is for Valentine’s Day.

a photo of a yellow gudetama squeeze toy and a white gudetama squeeze toy
Cute!

These are some Gudetama squeeze toy. I like Gudetama, but the character of a clinically depressed egg is a bit messed up for a country that has problems with metal health and suicide. The “I Love DB” hashtag is there because I wanted to win more squishies.

a photo of two yarn cakes
Cakey!

These are some Bernat Pop! yarn cakes in “moonshadow” and “paisley pop”.

I think that yarn cakes are mostly just for Instagram photos. There’s no added utility to the cake shape, it just looks pretty.

a comparison shot of a used, stretched-out yarn cake next to a fresh one
More Cakey!

And then the yarn cakes don’t even stay cake shaped. After using a yarn cake for a bit, they get stretched out.

Bye.

Instagram Dump #13

I don’t know why I link to my Instagram account. Instagram is owned by Facebook and Facebook is ruining the world.

a photo of the cap off of a radeberger pilsner bottle
Yum?

I don’t remember at all what Radeberger Pilsner tastes like, but I thought it was important enough to take a photo of the cap.

a closeup of the text from two face sheet masks. one read "hydrating and soothing" and the other reads "moisturizing and soothing"
SOOTHING!

What is the difference between “hydrating” and “moisturizing”? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE!?

a photo of and amazon order of yarn that came in three separate box and an envelope
Wasteful!!!

This was one order of yarn from Amazon that came in three separate boxes and an envelope. There was also some air bags and paper packing, because we wouldn’t want the yarn to break.

a photo of a weird sticker thing that reads "SUPER-CLEAN Do Not Eat"
What does it mean!?

This weird sticker thing was in a purse that I bought. I have no idea what it means or what it was for.

a photo of a camera that has been jury-rigged to film upside down
HORIZONTAL!

I jury-rigged my crappy camera to film upside down to record a horrible video about fidget spinners.

a photo of a tye-dyed fidget spinner
Colourful!

And here is one of the fidget spinners!

a photo of a saw blade-shaped fidget spinner with a checkerboard pattern on it
Spiky!

And here is another fidget spinner!

a photo of a fidget spinner with a bluetooth speak embedded in it
LOUD!

This fidget spinner has a bluetooth speaker in it. I don’t know why. I don’t know why fidget spinners exist in the first place.

a photo of a fidget spinner with four gears in it
GEAR!

The gears in this fidget spinner don’t actually move when it is spinning. I’m very upset about that.

a metal fidget spinner that is shaped like the orchid from the hong kong flag
Hong Kong!

I thought that this fidget spinner was shaped like a regular flower at first, but then I noticed it was, in fact, shaped like the flower from the Hong Kong flag.

an image of a glitch generated by a broken cellphone camera
Spooky!

This is a glitch that my old cellphone’s camera generated as it was dying. RIP old cellphone.

a photo of a talking witch halloween decoration
Witchy!

I think that these talking Halloween decorations are really annoying.

a photo of a gold skeleton pocket watch
Timey Wimey!

I got this watch off of AliExpress and it doesn’t keep time very well.

Looks neat, though.

a photo of a pile of louisiana style hot sauce packets
Spicy!

The fried chicken places always gives us a lot of hot sauce.

a photo of a box of grace peanut punch
Yummy!

Peanut punch is basically just water and milk added to peanut butter. It’s probably not healthy to drink it very often.

a photo of an eyeshadow palette with forty different colours
Pretty!

These shadows can pretty much only be applied wet. It’s nice to have a lot of different colours, though.

a photo of a sheet of canadian hockey legends stamps
Hockey!

Yes, that’s right, I snail-mail things. I’m old-school!

a photo of the underside of a cookie which reads "butter keks"
Kek!

“Kek” is how Koreans laugh and it’s also the name of an Egyptian god. You learn something new every day.

a photo of a 2018 planner that reads "still dicking bimbos" on the cover
Rude!

I thought that having a planner with something rude written on it was funny at the beginning of the year. It was not funny at the end of the year.

a photo of a plastic package with a tombow brush pen inside
Inky!

This Tombow brush pen is pretty neat. I need to start practicing my calligraphy again.

That’s all for now. There will be more later. There’s ALWAYS more later.

Instagram Dump #12

Photos! PHOTOS! AND YET MORE PHOTOS!

a photo of a bottle of dekuyper cactus juice
Yum!

This “cactus juice” was made with agave. That’s a photo of a saguaro on the label. It tasted like a mixture of tequila and triple sec.

photo of an exploded burrito
Ick.

I thought that this exploded burrito looked pretty grotesque. I like taking unappetizing photos of food.

photo of blue crystals from a crystal growing kit
SCIENCE!

Remember that crystal growing kit? Well, this is the amazing result. Yay.

I think that is didn’t work out so well because Tucson’s water is already half rocks, so the chemical reaction didn’t happen properly.

 

photo of the essential ernest dvd collection
Knowhutimean?

I will always maintain that Jim Varney was a great actor who was never really given his chance to shine.

photo of a pair of glasses that has been broken in half
Consarnit!

You have to be careful gluing glasses back together, because sometimes glue will react strangely to plastic frames. One of the glues I tried basically melted the acrylic in these.

photo of a jack o' lantern on a table
BOO!

I burnt the pumpkin seeds this year and was very sad.

 

photo of a lit-up jack o' lantern in the dark
BOOO!

In some towns, they make you use a light bulb instead of a candle for your jack o’ lantern. Those are the worst towns.

photo of a jack o' lantern on a porch
BOOOO!

Snow shovel prominently featured, because Canada.

an overexposed photo of four mints
Tasty!

My cellphone’s camera sucks sometimes. And it sucks the rest of the time, too.

a black and white photo of four mini-wheats
Yummy!

It’s a moody photo of some Mini-Wheats. Welcome to Hipstertown.

photo of a pink plastic wheel
Huh?

This is the pink wheel from the spinning fidget thingy I keep on my desk.

photo of a logitech g600 mmo gaming mouse
Techy!

I had a store credit for the Dell store and the only thing I even remotely wanted was this Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse.

It’s way too big for my tiny girl hand.

 

macro photo of a tiny yellow screwdriver
Tooly!

This is a glasses screwdriver, because I am a nerd what wears glasses

macro photo of two blue earplugs
I CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING!

Always wear earplugs to rock concerts, kiddies. You can replace your teeth, but you can’t replace your ears.

a macro photo of a strand of red yarn on a black backgroun
Red!

I made a scarf with this yarn!

a blurry photo of a silver pen
Bleh.

This photo is terrible. It’s only here because I can’t throw anything away.

macro photo of five different screwdriver bits
It’s the bits!

I keep ordering drinks and I keep getting tools, instead.

macro photo of an orange paintbrush
Bristly!

Wow. You can’t see any of the detail in this macro photo!

a photo of a black usb-c to usb adapter and a white ac to usb adapter
POWERFUL!

I have so many USB adapters and they’re all terrible.

macro of a stella artois bottle cap
Beery!

Stella Artois: the Pabst of imported beers.

 

Well, that was 20 photos and 20 is a number that I like, so, BYE!

Instagram Dump #11

I take terrible, terrible photos and post them to Instagram. Aren’t I inane?

a photo of a vinyl uppercase "L" sticker
“L” for LOSER

I got this cheap L sticker so I could make the limit to get free shipping from Amazon. I have no idea where it is now.

a photo of a cat toy made of fuzz and tinsel
Look what the cat dragged in.

This is one of my sister’s cat toys. Surprisingly, her cats actually prefer some colours of fuzzy tinsel balls over others.

a photo of a tub of market pantry peanut butter filled pretzels
Blargh.

Yes, I did eat all of those. When I have massive organ failure in the future, you’ll know exactly why.

a photo of some hormel sandwich meat packets hanging on a rack
…yum?

These meats were hanging unrefrigerated in a Dollar General. Aren’t cold cuts supposed to be kept cold?

a photo of four brass keys lined up
The keys to my heart! …not really.

These keys were in my purse. I had no idea what they were for.

a photo of five white miniature canvasses
Abstract!

These are some teeny tiny canvasses. They are rectangular. I like rectangles.

a photo of a negativland content business card
CONTENT!

My sister took my to a Negitivland concert. They handed out these cards. I think they were trying to make a point about consumerism and disposable media. You know, like the inane junk on this website.

a photo of some three sprinkles that are blue, red and white
Tasty!

I got these off of some America Day cupcakes.

a photo of a fast bites sausage and cheese biscuit, and a fast bites bbq rib sandwhich
Ick.

The buns on these ended up rock-hard. Remind me to stop buying food from Dollar General.

a photo of a carton of trader joe's maple water
…what?

I told the Americans that Maple Water is a traditional Canadian drink. This is not a thing that is actually true.

a photo of a grow your own crystals kits for blue crystals
SCIENCE!

I got this crystal growing kit for a dollar from Target. You will see later how well the crystals grew.

a photo of a placemat with with two snowmen lying in the desert
Curious.

This snowman placemat was hanging out all alone in the Tucson desert. I think when it actually snows in Tucson, that they call in the national guard.

a photo of a grilled cheese on plate with a pickle and some ketchup
Yummers!

You gotta dip your grilled cheese in some ketchup. It’s the law!

a photo of some foil crumpled up into three balls
Shiny!

I’m making some sort of an artistic statement here.

a photo of a bow of breakfast choice high fiber twigs cereal
Ew.

This was such false advertising. This cereal didn’t contain any twigs at all.

a photo of a package of a package of krave black cherry jerky and can of redd's black cherry ale
Delicious!

One of my favourite flavours is black cherry. I’m so mad at President’s Choice for discontinuing their Black Cherry Soda.

a photo of a rainbow over a parking lot
Pretty!

It was monsoon season in Tucson. There were beautiful rainbows hanging over the vast, empty parking lots. Go urban sprawl!

a photo of a rainbow over a mountain range
Gorgeous!

I never actually visited the mountains, when I was in Tucson. For some reason, there isn’t a shuttle or public transit that travels to them.

a photo of either a hare or a rabbit
Lagomorphic!

I wasn’t sure whether this was a hare or a rabbit. I ate it anyhow!

a photo of a glass of trader joe's maple water and the water carton
Hydrating!

Trader Joe’s Maple Water tastes like maple syrup mixed with sweaty sock water.

 

Well, that’s all fro today. I hope you enjoyed this mystical photographic journey as much as I did!

Instagram Dump #9

a closeup photo of a blush makeup brush
FLUFFY!

I wonder what kind of animal had to die to make this brush?

a photo of a knitting needle gauge packaged in a large box
WHY?

I was flabbergasted by the amount of waste here. They should have packaged this in an envelope.

a closeup photo of a flat, silver chain
OFF THE CHAIN!

I need to stop overusing the Instagram filters.

a blurry photo of some rusty old keys
On of these is the key to my heart.

This is my damn cellphone working against me, again. This would have been a very nice photo, but, for the life of me, I just couldn’t get my cellphone to focus. I really shouldn’t have dropped it so many times.

a photo of a small wrench closeup
IT’S A TOOL!

Bleh. Blurry cellphone, again.

I got this teeny tiny wrench in a set of tiny multitools. I have no idea what the Hell you would even do with a wrench this tiny. You can’t achieve any torque at all.

a photo of a nongshim shrimp cracker closeup
YUMMY!

This looks like a cheese puff, but it’s actually a shrimp cracker. It’s made with real shrimp. It tastes like the sea.

a photo of some cooked pork riblets on a metal tray
TASTY!

I like to make ribs in my slow cooker. Afterwards, I put them under the broiler for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce.

a photo of some chunked-up butter
BUTTERY!

I use a bunch of butter in everything. I’m going to have a heart attack.

a photo of an egg with a face drawn on it in marker
Wuh?

I drew a creepy face on an egg. Dunno why.

a photo of a potato closeup on a plate
STARCHY!

I really like potatoes. Carbs are good.

a macro photo of a metal spring
SPRINGY!

Damn, that is a lot of noise. I really, really need to get a cellphone with a better camera.

a closeup photo of some rusty old keys
These guys again?

I tried getting another photo of those keys. They’re still too blurry.

a dark photo of a glass fill with rose wine
Demonic Drink

This was some rosé, if I recall correctly. I don’t know why I wanted it to look so creepy.

a marco photo of a fudgee-o
FUDGEY! O!

Fudgee-Os taste nothing like fudge.

a photo of five bananas lined up
Banana Line Dance

I got this Yonanas dealie that makes frozen banana treats, so I need a lot of bananas.

a photo of bananas arranged in a pinwheel shape
So Many Bananas!

This is pretty, but it attracted so many fruit flies.

a photo of five tomatoes on the vine
Lycopene!

I always figured that these tomatoes on the vine were some sort of scam. They leave the vine on so that they can say that they’re “vine-ripened”, even though they ripened while being shipped.

a photo of a necklace with two crocodiles covered in rhinestones
Sparkly!

I got this necklace for my birthday. It’s a real sparkly statement piece. It’s hella heavy, though.

a photo of a very rusty old cookie pan
RUSTY!

This cookie sheet has seen better days. I’m going to keep using it, though.

a black and white photo of a closet doors and one is missing its handle
Who needs two?

One of the closet’s doors is missing its handle. Someone should fix that.

Well, that’s all for today’s dump. I’m going to try to take more photos, so you should be seeing these dumps more often.

Dumps.

Instagram Dump #8

D-d-d-dump! Instagram dump!

a photo of a path dug through a snowbank
The Way Through

There were a lot of large, solid chunks of ice in this snowbank. This was really annoying to dig through.

a photo of a box of very old unsweetened baker's chocolate
Tasty?

I found this ancient box of Baker’s Chocolate in my dead grandmother’s cupboard. It must be forty-years-old, or more!

a photo of a red faceted crystal pandora-type bead
SPARKLY!

This is a knockoff Pandora bracelet bead. It cost me about $0.07 from an online craft store. A real Pandora bead will cost you about $100 and be the exact same thing.

a photo of two yellow gel capsule pills, on is bigger than the other
DRUGS ARE GOOD FOR YOU!

I believe one of these pills was ibuprofen and the other was vitamin d.

a photo of four double pointed bamboo knitting needles
POINTY!

These are knitting needles. I’m into old lady crafts.

a photo four rings of different colours and textures closeup
RING A-DING DING

Rings are my favourite kind of jewellery. They’re hard to find for me, though, because my hands are really tiny.

a photo of a sim card ejection tool closeup
POIKY!

It’s my sim card ejection tool, that I have somehow magically not managed to lose yet.

a photo of a turquoise rubber band closeup
STRETCHY!

It’s a rubber band. Yup.

a photo of a broken shirt zipper closeup
GRAGH!

They need to invent some sort of device for protecting zippers in the wash, because mine are always breaking long before my clothes wear out.

a photo of five silver paper clips close up
CLIPPY!

I never use paper clips. I just put all my papers in a giant pile on my desk.

a photo of a thin metal tool
What is this?

I have no idea what this tool is for. It came in a manicure set, so I guess it’s for scraping gunk out from under your nails?

a photo of a blister pack full of small white pills
DRUGS ARE TASTY!

This is loratadine. I need loratadine to survive April through October. I am allergic to grass. Seriously.

a photo of three different types of glasses filled with water
GLASSY!

I have a bunch of different styles of glasses. I have no idea what are the proper drinks to pour into them.

a photo of some chicken thighs cooked with onions
COOKING IS FUN!

This is chickened thighs cooked with onions. It tasted good.

a macro photo of a sewing needle
SHARP!

This is a darning needle. I’ve never darned anything.

a photo of twelve different earbud tips
I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING!

These are a bunch of different earbud tips. They always give you a bunch of different sizes when you buy earbuds and I can never throw them out.

a photo of a giant snowbank next to a sidewalk at night
SNOWY!

In some places, the snowbank was taller than me this winter. It was really depressing.

a photo of a sunbeam mightycell 9-volt battery
POWERFUL!

You can see the reflection of my cellphone and hands in the battery.

a photo of  a large pile of carrots sticks on a plate
NUTRITION!

I eat a lot of carrots, but I’m not orange, yet.

a photo of two upside down bottle caps
DRINKY!

I had two beers.

This is the end. Go away.
