iPure

Today is Purification Day, and with the power out, I only got to research so much of it. From what I can tell, it is a day celebrating one of the early moments in Jesus' life. I couldn't find one specific celebration type, but one thing is for sure, most of them involved lighting candles. I am aaaaall for lighting candles on a cold day such as this, and might even just light a fire. I also have been wanting to get rid of all songs in my iTunes that might hinder my efforts to become a better Christian, so I shall do that as well. Hopefully the internet will be back by tomorrow, and I can find out more about the 3rd's holiday.

Thanks for reading!

Snakes for Reading!

W00t! I've made it one whole month of celebration without going completely insane! Only 11 more to go as I'm slowly realizing that this may cost me a lot more money than I would have wanted. I need a job...

But enough about that! Today is Serpent Day and that means that... well it means that... okay I have no clue. I looked it up, and I got everything from actual snakes to an old brass instrument that costs a LOT of money on eBay. I think I'll just have to do my best to celebrate both as best as I can from home, because all the businesses have been shut down due to ice/snow. Ah, well. Time to see if youtube has any videos of how that instrument sounds. I am intrigued.

Somebody really likes popcorn.

Today is a repeat holiday, National Popcorn Day. It's odd due the fact that the other National Popcorn Day was only about 12 days ago. Anyway, we've already discussed how to celebrate that holiday, and I've almost used all of the popcorn puns at my disposal doing it. For those of you who weren't here, grab a bag of your favourite popcorn today and go to town on it. Caramel, Cheese, Buttered, Plain, Kettlecorn, Mint, Toffee, or some of the weird flavours that I may not even know about. I think there's a bacon one available somewhere online.

Today is also Child Labour Day. A day to be aware of the fact that there are places in which children are being worked more than they should for way less than they need. Maybe find a charity that works with children that have been or are being put through these kinds of situations, and find donate something that could help them.

It is also the anniversary date of The Green Hornet's first radio broadcast, which gives me the perfect excuse to go see that movie today. I hope it's good... Haven't heard any reviews on it.
