Music with an awesome science angle

By -
I've said it before and I'll say it again, The Most Serene Republic's newest album And the Ever Expanding Universe contains some of the happiest basslines you'll ever have the pleasure of hearing. SRSLY ppl, this album just makes me want to jump up and start a dance party for one (or two when you count Lily, my doglin).

Their new single, Heavens To Purgatory, is pretty rad:


The song Phi is killer, and I listen to it when I walk home from long night shifts at work, and realize all is well in the world: the rain is no longer a bloody nuisance, but a refreshing sprinkle, and the garbage on the ground is some kind of esoteric large scale art installation I'm in on. (Video is for song only.)




The best part is, they reference a lot of science-y things that make me laugh (Don't Hold Back Feel A Little Longer talks about neurotransmitters and the title references the big bang theory). Stephen Hawking would be proud!

What am I doing?

I am a bad, bad, blogger. To ease myself back into it, and to earn back some blogger karma, here is a nifty update for everyone. What Jessica is: Watching: OMAR!! Brendan and I just watched Aziz Ansari's comedy central special and it was fu-u-un-ny! I tried to find a youtube clip to no avail, and comedy central are a bag of dicks to Canadians so I instead offer you an equally hilarious Human Giant sketch. Of particular note: I am simultaneously adding the entire cast of The Wire AND Human Giant to my "List". Rick Mercer is out, Aziz Ansari & Company are in. Reading: Committed , by Elizabeth Gilbert of Eat, Pray, Love fame. 'Twas good. She is a rock star . Writing & Obsessing over: Emails to peeps about grad schools . Ugh. I am a master obsesser and procrastinator, which means I will wake up at 3 am and ream myself out about the day I wasted doing yoga and singing songs to the dogs instead of getting down to business. Tomorrow, people. For re...

Hairy Mary on the Sugar Cane

530pm Sunday, got into Innisfail with Ross and Lisa today about 2pm and have just been chilling out. They have a beautiful bit of property surrounded by sugar cane. Just had a chat with my Dad on the phone and he warned me not to go walking through the sugar cane as nasty beasties live in there - I mentioned this to Lisa, and she said that not only are there nasty beasties, there is "hairy mary" on the sugar cane which sticks in your skin like fibre glass! Yuck! I happened upon a really cute little bird while looking from my hotel balcony yesterday - it's called a Willy Wag Tail! Pictured above. They land, and swish/wag their long tails around and just look so funny and adorable! Also pictured above: those prehistoric birds/bats I saw flying around outside the hotel - they're actually called fruit bats, or flying foxes and they're everywhere! You must be careful walking under their trees! This morning we had to check out from the hotel, so I did a complete...

Having just gotten back from Ottawa helping Andrew install a couple displays, I sit here while he naps pondering my near future. Jesse, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves - Dec 1 was last post!! If not for Danielle bugging me to write in the blog again you all might not have had the pleasure of knowing my thoughts and feelings at this current moment. Lucky you. I have lived in Toronto since March 23rd 2009. I moved here on a whim - was leaving the house Katie G and I had in Woodbridge and going out on my own. It's been alright - I know that I really love living surrounded by all MY own things (since there is no "our") - something I've never felt before. Makes you feel more at home. But alas, work has been dodgy to say the least, and my self motivation is questionable. I am moving to Barrie to live with one of my special lady friends, Katie Kirk. She is lovely, adorable, hard working, positive, funny, outgoing, and motivated. These are allllllll good things...
