This has been a rather intense week, and I'm really looking forward to this weekend ( Read more... )

I had another good night at the bowling alley: 140, 195, 189. My average is now 171, which is about seven pins higher than where it was at the end of last season. I don't expect it to last, but with these new synthetic lanes, who knows ( Read more... )

No time for a long post right now... suffice to say that I got home from Winnipeg (or "Winterpeg, Manisnowba") around midnight last night, dropped off my luggage, ran out to get food (a Big Mac... oooh aaah), came back home and went straight to bed as I had to be at work today ( Read more... )

I just got an email from Robert J. Sawyer (well, actually I was :cc'd on an email from Rob)... I've been named this year's CUFF delegate ( Read more... )

One of my old high school friends sent me this link on Facebook, and I thought I'd share... this site doesn't seem to allow for embedding so far as I can tell, so you'll have to follow the link.

Star Trek fan video, set to Jefferson Airplane's "Go Ask Alice"

It actually works quite well.

Please excuse the short sentences. Fatigue does not lend itself well to proper grammar or use of prepositions and articles. (So I may sound like Inspector Sidney Wang in "Murder By Death".)

Went to Turkeycon last night. Ate turkey and chatted with many people, including (but probably not limited to - as I said, I'm exhausted) quarkwiz and her husband ( Read more... )

Airfare and hotel for Gallifrey are booked - departure at 1:45 Thursday afternoon, arrival at 9:09 PM (there's a stopover in Cincinnati). Return flight, nonstop, leaving LAX at 12:10 PM Monday, getting back into Toronto at 7:55 PM. Amazingly, considering that it's a week away, it only cost me $511. Delta was $188 cheaper than Air Canada ( Read more... )

Should I go Thursday night or Friday morning? (The only cheap flight I could find on Friday - "cheap" being relative, considering how late I've left this, but my deposit only just cleared today, meaning I can only now pay off my total Mastercard balance, allowing me to afford this - is at 8 in the morning, though.) Come back on the Sunday night red ( Read more... )

Jesus Tapdancing Christ, it's cold out there. It's hard to believe that it was 8 degrees (46F for you Americans) yesterday, and right now, it's -8 (18F). I actually dug out a sweater that I probably haven't worn in at least 10 years. And it's going back up to 8 on Tuesday. Fortunately, I managed to snag a ride home from Mississauga, where I was at ( Read more... )

I went up to Future Shop today to find something to buy with my gift card... and I couldn't find anything I wanted. I asked, and they didn't have season 27 of Doctor Who in the computer at all, so the Canadian release has likely been delayed until July 4 along with the American release. (Hmm, what else is going on around that time ( Read more... )
