Deep thoughts by me

IT'S TIME FOR ACTUAL USEFUL EDUCATION!!!

(written by yours truly, The Best Teacher You Will Ever Have)

Today's lesson consists of the following lessons:

1. If you don't floss, you are missing 1/3rd of the tooth surface. SO FLOSS.
2. Barley in soup is the greatest cure for a sick day.
3. Lesbians can facebook message like it's the end of the world. I can't keep up with them when they do this, as I read very slowly. 

And that is all. As you can very well tell, I am not the most proficient learner. At the rate I am going, I'll be eighty before I can have a semi-intellectual conversation with somebody about flossing and lesbians.

In the meantime, enjoy this picture of goalkeeper Erin McLeod and striker Melissa Tancredi getting excited at the prospect of a hockey rink. The possibilities when it comes to a block of ice, people. The possibilities are endless. 

Never doubt that a small patch of frozen water can change the world. 

Indeed, it is the only thing that has.

Shallow Thames

WARNING.

THIS IS A SHALLOW POST.

Kaylyn Kyle tweeted this photo this morning of her and Jonelle Filigno on a boat on the river Thames in London. The water of the Thames is not shallow at all. Unlike the reason for this post.

I know I should say something more polite and stuff but seriously, seriously, our team is fucking hot.

YAY BRONZE MEDALLISTS! Though in all honesty, they actually won gold.

Tears and smiles and medals.

This is a medal ceremony post for the CanWNT and the USWNT. Both my favourite teams made it to the podium, this was the most intense day of my life.

OK, maybe not of my life. But of these Olympics, for sure.

The Americans beat the Japanese 2-1, with two goals coming from midfielder Carli Lloyd. The turnout was fantastic - the largest audience ever at a women's soccer final at the Olympics. Japan had some chances late in the 2nd half, but they were ultimately not able to tie the game, prompting this reaction out of Megan Rapinoe:

Apparently Rapinoe also took her shirt off at one point during the celebrations....which I only heard about when I went online and everyone was talking about it. DAMN YOU TSN FOR NOT BROADCASTING THIS FOR ME. DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS TO MY LIFE AND MY PERSONAL WELL-BEING??!!

And omg Kelley O'Hara....when did you get hot??!!!

  

This reaction from Rapinoe when she sees her family in the crowd will never cease to make me cry though:

OH MAN, PINOE. LET ME HUG YOU.

The Canadians:

So cool. Best player in the world, finally getting the recognition she deserves.

Aww. Someone commented about how the Canadians seemed totally attached to one another when they went to get their medals. Definitely a very cute team.

And apparently still very attractive, as these tumblr posts keeps confirming.

Next goal? Let's get Christine Sinclair to be Canada's flag bearer at the Closing Ceremonies. Take to twitter now with the hashtag #SinclairForFlagBearer. Go on. Go. You will receive brownie points from all the Canadian soccer gods of the universe.
