I've been back on "vacation" for a week now.  The reason it's written in quotations is that it doesn't feel like I'm vacating anything other than a big comfy bed and a consistently strong wifi signal.  Due to this "vacation"I am currently missing my longest and dearest childhood friend (or as I commonly refer to her as the Wife)'s graduation party.  I feel unbelievably guilty about this but hey, what can I do?

Other life updates

•  I saw The Heat and it was hysterical. Highly recommend for a good laugh.
• Also saw World War Z which was much better than I had anticipated. 
• Turned out that my car's registration was up in June and no one noticed until yesterday so I've been illegally driving it for almost two months. I live life on the edge!
• Went on another Unfollow-spree on Facebook and I have no bother's to be found about it.  I'd unfollow more but then I'd only be friends with like 30 people. 
• And I think I'm PMS-ing. Which isn't at all noteworthy but this is my blog and I can write what I want. And right now I want peanut butter and chocolate popcorn.  

Unpopular topic/opinion of the day: Headaches!
I've always gotten them. At one point I was on medication for them.  The doctor could not determine how or what the cause was so I was on a trial and error medication plan which ended after the drug that worked the best was taken off the market for being highly addictive.  It's fine, 8 Aspirin and a few hours of nothing strenuous usually does the trick.  My stomach hates me and my blood is probably water but I can't be bothered with that while my head pounds constantly.
According to MayoClinic, causes could include meningitis, brain tumors, stroke, or a failure of pain signals working properly.  This is why no one should Google their ailments on the internet.  You go to look for something as mundane as a headache and end up closing your web browser convinced you have a rare genetic disorder that gives you -at most- 5 days to live.
I'm curious, as I seem to suffer from chronic headaches, does anyone else? Or what tips do you have to help get rid of yours? This is of course only if someone reads this which chances are, I'm simply indulging myself.

No book recommendations today.  Still moseying through A Feast For Crows.  Review to come soon.

Vampires Are Real

I've just returned from the land of maple syrup and Mounties. Although we have hi-speed internet, my computer decided it didn't want to connect to the wifi so I had to use an ethernet cable.  It's remarkable how we take small things such as a good wifi connection for granted.  The future generations will be so spoiled.  If I have kids, I'm going to make sure that they spend time outside and reading actual books.

Fun fact: Wifi doesn't stand for anything. Whoever came up with the name was probably on drugs.

So not only did I come back from Canada appreciating wifi, I also learned that mosquitoes are progressively taking over the world.  These little blood suckers attacked me severely over the past few days to the point that I Googled them.  I found out some lovely facts that I wish I didn't know because now I'm petrified as well as itchy and annoyed.

Mosquitoes are at a possibly all time high this summer due to our quite humid and warm spring.  This also applies to ticks.  If you're going camping, just sleep in a bubble that's coated in bug repellent. Also, due to hurricane season, there has been a certain type of mosquito that has come back from being dormant.  It's roughly the size of a quarter which is 20x the size of your average mosquito. These can be found primarily in Florida.  For the first time in a year, I'm happy I don't still live in Florida.

They're also getting more aggressive, giving off more deadly diseases and being more of a pain in the ass.  Those who claim vampires don't exist, they haven't been paying attention to mosquitoes.

Side note: Got my license finally. Personal victory and one more thing off my Resolutions To-Do list. And I'm half-way through A Feast For Crows and now that everyone's been introduced it's starting to pick up and I'm really enjoying it.
