Some sneaky and awfully convincing coworkers (damn those litigation lawyers!) managed to rope me into a flag football tournament organized by the Young Bar Association of Montréal. Me. Football. Oh wait, lemme specify. AMERICAN football. (No tackling though, thank Paolo ( Read more... )

* Am currently Internet-less at home (damn you Bell!), so am stuck sneaking online time at work. Eh. ETA: Bell is merciful today! I has Internetz for now, whohoo ( Read more... )

~ You know that research project that I have? 15-20 pages, pertaining to a domain I haven't had classes on and with a gazillion citation requirements? It's due this Thursday at 2pm. Yet I?

Upside: I went to see Half-Blood Prince yesterday! Draco, Weasleys and the comedy = ♥
Downside: I was accompagnying my sister, her best friend and my brother. I was about to throw them into the river after two and a half hours.
