Trying to Catch Up

1. Today it snowed in Toronto. Snowed for real. There's slush at every corner, and soon my shoes will all be ruined. Hooray for weather (tiddley-pom!). It feels good to have the right weather in the right season.

2. I'm in the middle of a bunch of days-off from work. They were stored-up stat days that I (of course) didn't get the week of Christmas. I feel like things are getting to a certain level of normal now, and this was a little break I really needed.

3. Today, on the internet, I encountered someone's idiot ramblings about fast-food-restaurant employees who didn't speak perfect Californian English. The rambler insisted that they weren't a racist, while at the same time including the following phrase in their rant: "Assimilate into our culture!" I couldn't resist writing a response. Fucking monoglot North Americans!

4. Yesterday I wrote a small something that I'm really happy with. And that's a good thing.

5. I newyearsly resolved to eat 5 servings of fruit a day this year, but the last couple of days I haven't even been close. I'm going to pick it up again when I go back to work on Wednesday, because the work habits are the important ones.... So there.

6. I ordered copies of my marriage certificate online today. There are two kinds of certificate: the normal and the long-form. The Government of Ontario website through which one orders these does not, however, really tell you what the differences between them are. Rather than decide, I ordered one of each. Why not?

...and that's my news.
