I don't think cloudy days are necessarily worse (although maybe there's some science saying that the clouds magnify the sun strength or something), they're just deceptive cuz you don't feel it.

Ultraviolet light isn't blocked by the same things to the same degree as visible light. Clouds don't affect UV as much as visible light, and UV is what burns you.

Eh, I dunno. Sports games just never felt too fun to me, like I don't hate them, but they don't hold my attention for more than a few games at a time. There have been some that I've loved, but few and far between.

Not even any of the Tony Hawk games? Some of the WWE games were a lot of fun. Also obligatory wii sports.

timbits.

Not Tim Hortons related, but I would also kill for genuine poutine right now. >_<

how2get cheese curds; I might just have to go ghetto and use those string cheese sticks instead...

Honey crueller is the best donut there, imo. Otherwise timbits are kind of novel if they don't have a similar product where you live. The coffee isn't actually that great, but I do like their mocha (not that I like coffee). It's mostly a cheap-things kind of place and the bang-for-buck is pretty solid overall.

Also I just got back on a weeklong trip from Winnipeg. I have to say the poutine variety was... interesting.

Yeah in Sesotho, the words for news and mountains are spelled the same, it's obnoxious.

The word for baby and vagina are dangerously close as well which lead to some interesting conversations during training.

Bleh dishes/plates and vagina are similar in ASL so "I washed (my) [X]" was awkward for me. Also generally agree with difficulty of tonal languages, having flopped my way through two years of Mandarin in high school. Probably part of why I went with ASL instead...

Yes, hugs for Sunaaj.

Just got word on the next two volunteers coming. Both girls.

Running count is now 13 girls 2 guys including me.

These are American girls though, those are never interesting.

I'm sorry Sunaaj.

I can't imagine if I lost my cat so suddenly. I'd be heartbroken.

Thx guys, tbh I'm more worried for my sis then me, she had hand picked the two *Lulu and Violet, I got veto'd for Lulu and Pix*. It's still hard with it being so sudden, she was only 3, while our other 2 cats were 15 and 14 respectively

Well, bedtime now, thanks again guys for letting me vent.

Anybody else name their pets after League characters? I named one of my parents' beagles Lulu too.

Hi I am back. Week was good. Mainly families on the beach but it was fine to chill. Yanger tells me guys are keen for Xmage Limited LLL session which I told him I'm up for but don't know if he passed the message along.

edit: also wtf blizzard hates Rogue in HS so much
