Friend and game author James 'Grim' Desborough has been getting a lot of flak over a blog post recently that discussed rape being used as a plot device. A lot of people have been misquoting him and starting petitions against him. I'd urge people to read his Q&A with GeekNative.com (Read more... )

Alrighty: +16C and road closures due to flooding is not even remotely close to normal for New Brunswick in December.

I know this is rapidly turning into a "OMGWEATHERWTF?" blog, but....

19C (66F) just days from Halloween?

Really?

... and now we're back to seasonal weather. Went to -3C last night (27F), and barely up to 12C all day yesterday (54F). Never thought I'd say I found cool weather reassuring...

It went up to 25C yesterday (77F), and currently it's 22C (72F). Normally, we're supposed to be around 16C (61F). Tuesday night, at 3:30am (technically I suppose, Wednesday morning), it was 22C. In the middle of the freaking night.

"Global warming doesn't exist" my Canadian ass.

Lord of the Rings Online just went free-to-play. If you're interested in joining me on the Silverlode server, drop me a line. I run a roleplaying kinship there.

So, yesterday went up to 33C (91F), 40C (104F) with the humidex.

Today at 1pm, it's already 31C (88F), 39C (102F) with the humidex.

No wonder I feel like crap.

I don't want to complain, but is 33C - 39C with the humidex - really necessary on August 31st? It's only 1:30pm and already up to 32C today, not exactly typical weather for the first of September.

33C = 91F
39C = 103F
32C = 90F

WOOHOO!

Good job, Canada. :)
