This heat wave is crazy. It is 47 degrees outside here, including the humidex, and the hot air is blowing right through the very window I've opened to help cool up the place. Oh, the irony. Now I feel bad about complaining about 30 degree weather in a previous entry, heh. Again, oh, the irony. The BBC reported that the heat has already killed 22 ( Read more... )

This is a meme I got from ilean24355:

2. List (and upload) 5 songs you love that begin with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

She gave me an 'N,' so here I go:

So it's been way over a week since my last entry, heh. Thus, I think it's about time to get back on here.

People are on vacation at work, and thus I've been getting more hours. Thirty-six hours this week, for instance, which is good for me money-wise. Though on the downside, I worked from 7-3 on Wednesday, got home, ate dinner, and started watching ( Read more... )

Cookies to whoever knows the 'language' without googling. =P

It finally rained today! *dances* And as predicted, when it rained, it poured. The thunder was booming very loudly, and the lightning was striking almost constantly. And of course, with me being the rain/thunderstorm fangirl that I am, I ran outside, stood on my porch as I fantasized about ( Read more... )

So, it's past two o'clock in the morning here and I'm still awake. Why is that? Well, one big reason is that I have the day off tomorrow and so I don't really have to worry about when I sleep, and the other reason? I'm not sleepy. lol

One of my co-workers is on vacation this week, so I'm getting more hours than usual. Which I do not mind at all, as ( Read more... )

I'm studying way too much, lulz.

I've read up on several ancient history topics, with the intention of going forward all the way to the present day. I know most of the basics of the first civilizations in Egypt, Iraq, China, India, Mexico, Greece, and Italy, and made this little computer program on Visual Basic to have everything play out together ( Read more... )

My mom and grandma came up to Ottawa on Monday, and we all went out to Gatineau on the Québec side of the river. There, we went to the Canadian Musem of Civilization, where they were holding an exhibit on Japan. They had several old scrolls, Samurai armour, and other traditional articles of clothing, in addition to several more modern artifacts, ( Read more... )

So I got called in to work the night shift last evening. I have not worked this late since last year, and I am definitely glad about that. There isn't as much going on at night  here, so it's not as interesting. Plus it's dark when I'm off work, and all I have left to do is go home. I was so used to this when I had school during the day, but not ( Read more... )

ineffable144 and I just had an interesting conversation over MSN, and I thought I'd post it here for the lulz. I'm Switzerland, FYI, because I'm feeling rather neutral lately. XD

Yes, I'm actually posting two days in a row now. And don't be surprised if it starts to happen even more. =D

So I woke up at 6:30 this morning, trying my darndest to get dressed and ready for work, prepare my breakfast, take out the garbage and the recycling and the compost, and then walk to work with my breakfast in hand. And I start work at 7, so ( Read more... )
