☆ Fascinating news! Sir John Franklin's ship, the HMS Terror, has been rediscovered in Nunavut. *_* So, that's two major discoveries from this failed expedition, in a very short period of time (the earlier was the HMS Erebus, rediscovered two years ago). It's really cool how Inuit oral history has been vital in finding this stuff. When I was a kid, I was fascinated by stories about the Franklin expedition, so I'm really looking forward to reading more about this when more information becomes available. (Though I do find it funny how in school, we learned so much about failed Northwest Passage expeditions, especially Franklin and Hudson, but the first expedition to actually succeed in completing the journey was never mentioned. MAN, THAT ROALD AMUNDSEN, WHAT A GUY. Ahem.)
☆ I'm finally able to play PokeGo again. HOORAY. Don't have the Buddy update yet, but that's all right. It was just nice to play it again. Didn't catch anything interesting tonight, but I did hatch... a Zubat. Shhhh, it has high CP and awesomely balanced attack+defence and Blanche was Very Impressed with it. I'm going to keep it and name it something cliche and vampire-y.
☆ My neighbourhood is kind of weird at night. Lately it's been dark at around 8, and by 8:30 it's pitch black, and because it's kind of chilly out, nobody goes out walking, unless they have a dog with them. But for the most part, the small sidestreets are empty. The lamps are widely-spaced, so there are lots of parts where it's almost entirely dark. It just gives off this eerie, weird feeling. ...Also, somebody had their Christmas lights on. What. Though, er, they were orange, so maybe they were meant to be Halloween lights. In which case - mate, you're still a month early. I don't mind starting Halloween a little ahead of the game, but think of your electrical bill, dude.
