So with Okamiden coming out this month, and my current dsi screen protector well scratched, I figured it was time for a replacement, and went out and bought a pair from icon, same brand as I used last time. Two protectors, I figured easy replacement, right ( Read more... )

So Nova Scotia gets blasted with a blizzard, canceling many plans including those made for travel. We arrived at the airport earlier with my flight still on but "delayed", and eventually canceled when the new departure time arrived and we hadn't been asked to board yet ( Read more... )

Gah, I take Sunday off as a breather and the first day back I feel like someone just ran me over with a tank. To summarize my day ( Read more... )

Well, the academic anxiety is back. Although most of my courses look pretty interesting, I’ve already got a long list of assignments that won’t be letting up any time soon.

Good stuff: Vacation!!!! As of this evening I officially am off work for *nine* whole days!! Plus, on Sunday morning I'm hoping a plane for six fun-filled days in Beijing! WHOOOOOHOOO! Heh, I've been counting the days since the month began, and now I really can't wait! Just a matter of days, and I'll be walking the Great Wall! As the kids say over ( Read more... )
