    Also good news, my CGA accountant mom says 401Ks are illegal in Canada and that we have RSPs for retirement, and they are much fairer in terms of fees.

    I love this country.

    Academic Dress is fun. If I ever become a Uni librarian/archivist and wind up having to wear it multiple times a year I'll just go out and buy the whole thing.

    Then randomly wear it at bars with some professor friends while we talk to each other in shitty latin.

    That was a really good series though, and it was great to see the Leafs back in the playoffs.

    Now I just want to find a Bruins fan, tell them no hard feelings, wish them luck in the next series, and give 'em a big ol' hug.

    ... And start squeezing tighter and tighter, whispering "Shh, don't fight. It'll be over soon."

    Wait, no. NO!

    Not that part.

    Bad Brad.

    I may have started watching game of thrones at 4-1

    YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! It was said that you would destroy the Bruins, not join them! Bring balance to [chat], not leave it in darkness!

    You were my brother, Jake! I loved you. :(

    I told you the Bruins would blow it when it was 3-1! And my prophecy almost came true. I guess it became a huge reverse jinx instead

    It's not even the sadness that's so bad.

    It's having to talk to everyone about it tomorrow.

    It's like a breakup I never wanted! It's too fresh, I can't talk about it now!

    It is amazing that a business would have a private twitter account.

    Part of me hopes it's really some kind of elaborate trolling.

    Wait, what?

    What's that mean? is it a twitter account no one can follow?

    Also apparently that was the first restaurant Gordon completely gave up on... It's such a shame because holy shit, that kitchen wasn't disgusting... The deserts looked good... And yet...

    We get home from work, let the dogs out, they do their thing. Nickie lets them back in, takes them downstairs to feed them, and starts yelling. The dachshund has a mouse, a dead one. Nickie gets it away from the dog, who immediately runs over to where two very alive, very baby mice are and grabs another one. Cue more yelling, me running downstairs. Pick up the two very weak baby mice, stick them in a box.

    Our cats have been sitting at the back door for almost two weeks now, just watching a little gap at the base of it. We figured they heard noise or something. Apparently mice had gotten in and made some babies. By the condition of the babies, we think the cats have either already killed the mother, or scared it away and it stopped feeding the babies, which is why they left the nest looking for food in their weakened state.

    So I'm upstairs with Nickie, and two baby grey mice in a box that are barely moving. She says there's no way we're keeping them, I say ok, we either put them in the freezer or hold them up to the car exhaust then.

    Which, you know, is a very bad thing to say to a woman who is 16 weeks pregnant the day after mother's day about two tiny helpless babies, despite the fact they're mice.




    So I'm sitting at my desk with them both in in my shirt pocket to keep them warm after feeding them formula. I am a gigantic sucker.

    Bruins lost? Sad face.

    I never really cared about the Leafs, even though I live an hour outside Toronto, but damn if my ex's roommates and their rabid love of the Bruins didn't rub off on me some; I was in a New England pub where their band was playing music and during the interim the Bruins won the Stanley Cup. I lost my hearing for a good half hour from all the cheering after that. It was a memorable experience.

    Yes, people do use Skype for that, and yes, it sucks ass a lot because Skype constantly gets updates that more often then not fuck up more then they fix, and break previously functional stuff like sound stability.

    It looks like they've added more controls to Google Hangouts. You can also mess with the bandwidth you give it. But there's so much white space! If I go full screen I want to only see the video, not white borders too!

    But it uses less CPU/RAM than Skype.

    Fuck it I'll use it.

    I used Logitech Vid, the program bundled with the webcams me and my ex used for everyday chatting and sometimes other things that works quite well, but is choppy at times.

    It's better then Skype, but only marginally.

    Oh I would definitely be a tweedy professor. Like, I already have a couple bowties that I wear randomly and I rather like the character of rough woven suits. No leather elbow patches, though. That's just wrong. Get it mended properly or replace the jacket.

    Sooo lame and long and boring, to go get an empty diploma holder dealie.

    Fuck this particular noise. When I get my master's, eventually, I don't give a crap what my family wants. I'm just not sitting through this sort of shit again.

    I sat through undergrad because my parents paid for it and they wanted it.

    I am doing my MA walk because I paid for it and damn it I am going to walk.

    I didn't get to walk for my MSc because I was three thousand miles away.

    I will always regret that.

    Instead I sat in my bedroom and ate a medium pizza.

    It's just, like, people came from hundreds and thousands of miles, and instead of doing stuff with them, I got to sit around a bunch of people I don't know being bored and uncomfortable. There's about a billion more fun things that could have occurred.

    Sure, they're not for everyone.

    But I love a good ceremony and tradition.

    2-5% in fees and investment "options" alone can cost you tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars off your retirement fund, and totally fuck over your ability to retire before your seventy, if ever. That is absolute total bullshit.
