How do you file a noise complaint in Vancouver, B.C.?

I mean, the fuckers actually woke me up with their music and their screaming. At 3:30 AM. Do you have any idea how hard that is ( Read more... )

Apparently, spending a few hours on a plane after getting negligible sleep for a little under a week and spending all your free time with tens of thousands of people makes you sick ( Read more... )

Ever had one of those days when you just can't concentrate, however hard you try? I've had sleep deprivation the last couple of days as an excuse, but last night I actually slept pretty well. I'm not hungry, I'm not tired. I'm just... soul-crushingly bored ( Read more... )
