I came across a YouTube video that discussed Ableism. Ableism is discrimination against people with disabilities. A disability includes any kind of cognitive (hinders ideas, memory, concentration, reason and ability to think), visual, speech and dexterity impairments (reduced function of ligaments like arms and hands). It also includes learning disabilities, deafness and blindness.

Online Games

Lately, I've found online games are awesome. I've had a few games on my phone for a long time, like Jewels, Sudoku and Mahjong. I also do the occasional Doctor Who puzzle. There are just so many games online now, even Facebook has them.

Stuffed Animals
Stuffed animals are always a good gift. They're great on birthday's and for when you're sick. My favourite thing about stuffed animals is that they all have a story to the person you give them too.
For example, these are some of my favourite stuffed animals. On the right there is Charlie, I got him years ago. Then there's Noël, who I got on Christmas a few years ago. Then there's the oldest, Sweetheart, my monkey....

The Stranger
Albert Camus Photo Cite
My favourite book from Grade 12 French class was L'etranger or The Stranger. I recently found an English version online. The first line of the book says it all.
"MOTHER died today."
No emotion, nothing. It is a book about an existentialist, someone who believes...
My first year at University
My first year of University flew by fast. Probably because I only did a semester of it. When I first went I was excited, I could not wait to get involved in a club, activity and start trying out new things that were a bit outside of my comfort zone.
I bought some new clothes, bought some necessities for the year like a towel, shampoo, condition and bedding. You can see some of my other purchases below. But looking...
El Laberinto del Fauno
Empezar, yo miré mi primera película de español, El laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth en inglés). El Fauno en la película es más escalofriante que el Fauno en la película, Narnia el león, la bruja y el ropera.
El Fauno está tan humano como cabra. El Fauno es útil un obstáculo. El Fauno en la película, Narnia el león, la bruja y el ropera miró amable pero no es amable. Mientras que el Fauno en el laberinto...

L'etranger est un livre j'ai lu dans ma finale anneé à l'ecole secondaire. Meursault est l'antagonist. Il habite à d'Alger. Meursault est existentialiste. Pour la plupart Meursault est différent et froid. Ceci est prouvé dans le premier phrase du...

The Hunger Games
Photo Cite
I went to see The Hunger Games yesterday and the film was great. The only complaint I have is that there was not a lot of fighting in it. That probably sounds ridiculous though since about half the film was fighting and trying to survive.
However, before watching the Hunger Games about a year or so ago I watch Battle Royale, which is a Japanese film about a class of 42 students fighting...
