Canada, however, really is like David Cronenberg.

At least in my neighbourhood it is.

I understand why your location is under the floorboards. I'd be hiding too.

You've actually learned a lot about Kusturica, that's all.

I am teaching myself to embroider for my bookmaking final.
This is not going well as I am impatient and a terrible hand sewer.

Also my finger hurts :(

So first, the system here - Your instructor comes, picks you up, you do a warm up, go over the questions, then he takes you to take the test and he sits in the back while the instructor grades you.
So I'm outside, waiting
waiting
waiting
call around
"Dude, where are you, don't I have my exam?"
"Hey I spoke to the owner about you"
"Uhhhhh, ok, so are you coming or not"
"Call him, he knows"
I call
"Oh yeh yeh tell your instructor to get your papers from the office
ring ring
"He said you have to get my papers from the office"
"No no thats not it, call him again"
This shit goes back and forth and now I've been moved to 12:30 tomorrow because it took them more than half an hour to figure their shit out.

Mannnnnn and I was GOOD TO GO today

Actually, I don't believe whoever made the ad knew what they were writing:

The caption makes little sense, grammatically. But the title is literally "Find German whores"...
