Anyway at the same time as this, behind me, there was a major thunderstorm. The kind that makes dogs bark and cats hide under cars. My tip for you to see what I saw through this jerky-ass video is enlarge it to full screen size and focus on a power line. I was scared.
I just realized I'm one of those people who keeps filming the sky even when I think a tornado is coming. DAMNIT. Anyway here's those links we were talking about.

The challenge of making friends as an adult.
Ryan and I have made it an annual tradition to watch the 20+ minute long ... advertisement? for the Gathering of the Juggalos. I have an unhealthy obsession with Juggalos as is, but these videos are always hilarious. The way they exploit the lonely people, the slow thinkers and the misogynistic...good times? This year's isn't as good as this one though. Speaking of Juggalos, Coolio is one now apparently.

The most honest 3.5 minutes of TV ever. (video) Sorry American friends, but I loved this. BTW it pisses me right off when people say BC is the most beautiful place on earth too. It is beautiful but come on. It's not the BEST PLACE ON EARTH, like our provincial slogan used to say. How can you even quantify something like that?

On tipping. I read something once that really stuck with me. It said (much more eloquently than this) that now that you're an adult, you MUST tip when you go out to eat. If you don't have enough money or are too cheap, then you have no business eating out in the first place.

36 incredible places to see on earth. I don't know why but Iceland just keeps coming up over and over on my (and Ryan's) radar lately. I think we have to go to there soon. There are FOUR Iceland photos just in this post alone! Also, not to brag but I totally saw that Alberta one from a train window once and live just a ferry ride away from Vancouver and that crazy bridge.
