Well, made it to Halifax okay. Halifax people... are any of you currently actually IN Halifax? We leave at 1 PM on January second, and basically have no plans, so let me know if you want to make plans appear ( Read more... )

We made it to New Brunswick! Only about two hours late, too! Half of that was boarding delays in Montreal. The other half I suspect is just a case of the sheer volume of passengers this time of year pushing everything off the schedule. It was a relatively uneventful trip. I finished two books and started a third. It had small print though, and I ( Read more... )

Fun times: Spending most of Canada Day joking about how we were spending Canada Day with "Twenty thousand of our closest friends!" and then actually running into someone we knew other than the group we were meeting up with us. This random guy came up to us and asked if we went to Mount A and it turned out he had been in our Japanese class. What are ( Read more... )

I am home! Ten hours of driving is REALLY LONG! Also, the people at Dunkin' Donuts put WAY too much sugar in their coffee. I was worried there wouldn't be ENOUGH sugar because I just said milk and sugar and I usually get a double double with milk. But no, it was RIDICULOUSLY sweet. Insane ( Read more... )

Guys, did you know Molly Hayes has led an eventful life? :p

I just apped her at glaxcinprison. Her history wound up being 1183 words. This is SLIGHTLY insane, given that PAPADAMA'S history was only around 900. And Molly is TWELVE. That is an impressive bit of having history there. :p ( Read more... )

I am home and I am clean. Slight delays on the way back, but nothing like the way down. Sleeping on the train wound up working out fairly nicely. We were in two seats that were facing another set of seats. The people who were sitting in the other sets went... somewhere. Probably because you can't really use the footrest in that setup. Once we ( Read more... )

Well, we made it to Halifax! Eventually. :p We were about four hours late getting in in the end. Two hours of that was waiting at the train station in Montreal. Our first train was running late (snow on the switches) and we were a bit worried about making our connection. We got there after the connecting train should have left, but that train was ( Read more... )

My bags... may or may not be packed I... may or may not be ready to go... Let's play "What is Yubsie forgetting to pack?"! :p ( Read more... )

Back from a fun weekend in Toronto! We watched more BSG with i_paint_the_sky, finishing up the Kobol arc and seeing up to Final Cut. So I got to know two more Cylons! And apparently there is impending doom ( Read more... )

Okay, so Avenue Q? Is made of pure unadulterated WIN. So many laughs not on the soundtracks. So many things that are infinitely funnier with context. Christmas Eve, much as expected, is a total show stealer. Not surprising, she DOES get all the best lines. The actress playing Gary Coleman was also BRILLIANT. And of course, puppets ftw. :p ( Read more... )
