Today, we called one of the domain name companies and found that while they cited my address, phone number, name, etc., (Katie, you especially will enjoy this making your previous comment more relevant than you had imagined) my evil geeks are from CANADA, Alberta to be exact. Those bastards up in the wilderness with nothing to do...So, here's my ( Read more... )

Yesterday night, in efforts to trade money for books, I made a purchase on Amazon using my debit card. Today, in efforts to obtain money, Amazon e-mailed me saying that my credit card was invalid. So, I investigated by means of my account history and to my surprise, I discovered something rather peculiar : three charges for the amount of $8.88 ( Read more... )

Canada is a very exciting and mysterious place not often frequented by Americans. For the enlightenment of you, my fellow countrymen (and others of you who are not my countrymen at all), I have captured my Canadian experiences with some rather blurry and inadequately taken photos. By the end of this post, you will all be wishing that Elizabeth ( Read more... )

So if I ( Read more... )

I don`t feel like a particularly long update, but I feel like I should say something...this past weekend was good. Lots of shopping; lots of clothes acquired for less than they should cost because of the better exchange rate...also, we went hunting for thrift stores, which is more difficult than it sounds. We found three, but only two were open, ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I went to see Camping Sauvage. It is a film Quebecois. I understood very little of the dialog, but I think I got the general gist of what was going on. It was one of the strangest films I have ever seen in my life. At the beginning, one would expect it to be a semi-predictable, but watchable romantic comedy with some cars that blow ( Read more... )

I have nothing much to say really, just a couple of hours to waste before a compulsory evening activity «Guerre du Clans». I`m a little bit afraid of what I`ll be required to do, but we`ll see ( Read more... )

So, yesterday, we had our weekly field trip, and this guy buy this river explained some stuff about some hats, but I have no idea what exactly he said ( Read more... )
