Hello? Is... is this thing on? The red light means it's on, right? Or do I... I have to push a button, don't I? Well, which one? There's like ten! The black one? They're all black!

    Motorboard hats look really stupid.

    I got a reminder of that on Thursday, when I officially graduated from York University. But, as I was walking back to the car with my family, BSc in hand, I realized something. Maybe they're supposed to look stupid. Because I was wearing the bloody thing with pride. And if I was wearing something that stupid with pride, then I had to be really proud of myself.

    I don't know how many of you have been following the New Horizons mission...

    ... but I have. And the stuff it's sending back is super exciting.

    Please excuse me while I giggle like a schoolgirl.

    Time to celebrate all things circular again.

    And today's a very special pi day indeed. On a related note, I'm attempting to post this as close to 9:26 and 53 seconds as I can.

    So, yeah. Grab some pie, doodle some circles, calculate the radius of the universe or something. The sky's the limit on pi day.

    Today's a special day.

    Because starting today, I can go waltz across the border into the United States, walk into the first bar I see, sit down, and order a beer. And nobody will be able to do anything about it.

    Then I'll stare at said beer awkwardly after remembering that I hate beer and don't drink. And then quietly ask for a virgin screwdriver or something.

Well, that was rather anticlimactic. · 5:46pm Dec 25th, 2013

As many of you may have guessed, I have power again. In all honesty, I wasn't expecting to get it back until the weekend, which renders my last blog post a bit melodramatic. What was expected to be a week or more ended up being a mere and perfectly manageable sixty-three hours. Granted, those in the city without power or woodstoves probably fared quite a bit worse, if the skyrocketing rates of carbon monoxide poisonings were any indication. Honestly, I don't know what possessed people to think that barbecues make good indoor heaters.

I'm getting off topic. Point is, I'm back online, none the worse for wear. I'm not even sure anyone really noticed. And man, is it ever pretty outside.

Merry powered Christmas, in any case. Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weinachten, and Bonne Noel. I've got nothing else to say, really.

Huzzah! :D

I got the same here in Brampton, but it wasn't as bad as Toronto. The power still went out, but only for a few hours on a couple of days.
