Okay, my mind is being changed once again over whether these things are ridiculous or awesome. Can someone please get me one so I can settle the matter once and for all?

You guys.

YOU GUYS.

FInished packing, waking up in about three hours to go back to Montreal. San Francisco, you've been so good to me!

Getting through finals: I'd like to thank...

-My rice cooker. For extra yum, try making rice using chicken broth instead of water!
-This little app (mac only): http://www.ibiblio.org/fred/freedom/
-The deadly combo of an electric blanket and a little book light, to ensure peaceful, rapid sleep even on stressed-out, -30 degree C nights.
-The white noise generator at http://simplynoise.com/. Perfect for focusing around those cell phone abusers or constant snifflers.
-The baristas at the twenty-four hour cafe two blocks from my apartment, who pump extra chocolate into your mocha if you ask with a smile.

Good luck, everybody! Looking forward to seeing you all on the other side!

Know how everyone says it's silly that Superman was able to pass himself off as Clark Kent just by putting on a pair of glasses?



Right. Well, I actually totally see where Superman was originally coming from. People just don't recognize me when I'm just walking around campus in my glasses. So many occasions I'll make direct eye contact, but just merit a blank stare until I give a wave or take my glasses off. On the other hand, when I don't wear them, I'm the one not recognizing people simply because my eyesight is too poor. I guess the solution to both these problems is just to wear my glasses more often.

I am Clark Kent.

The morning after I realized I spent $4.20 sending drunken excited text messages to your international phones when the announcement came (sorry to those of you who wrote back!). That night, it just felt like the whole world was celebrating. Stumbling home from the party, whenever I passed a pedestrian we would either high-five, hug, or just cheer together, feeling the promise of our times. History!

Isn't there something wrong here? How can you have a fry flavored potato chip? It would be a fried potato flavored fried potato. Is that why they call it potato snack instead of potato chip, to try and mask the redundancy? Can't you just call these monstrosities what they are?


I've only ever seen them in Canada, but they're delicious and I think everyone should just give them a chance. Last time I brought a bag home for my family no one would even try them.

I am clearly all about the unknown chip varieties. Did you know they don't sell Flamin' Hot Cheetos in Canada, or anywhere on the East Coast for that matter? I brought back three bags.

Update: According to Kye, the "mathematical skill testing question" is a convention because in Canada, it's apparently illegal to win things based off of pure luck--you must have earned it through skill. So for everything like this, even lotteries, if you win, they ask you a really simple math question just so they can say you earned it. Here's a little article about it: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/01/72511

How weird is that?

This is how I get all my really important news.
