practicality

- Actual CBC news broadcaster ticker seen yesterday while I ate cheeseburgers in McDonald's: "Its Way Way Too Cold Out"
- We got an inch of snow! Which means everyone was driving like an idiot yesterday, and today it's all melted again into the occasional puddle of slush on the grass
- Daiso is a magical land of small, cheap, useful, Japanese things that you didn't know you needed until you saw them. I had to talk myself down to twenty dollars worth of stuff (everything is $2 each, so :<)
-Corollary to above - I now have the perfect case for my BPAL imps! it's a bit plain, but it has little perfectly sized compartments.
-The Delly has a new culinary invention - the potato chop. It's an inner core of ground beef, onions, peas, and carrots, surrounded by mashed potatoes, rolled in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. It's delicious.
-Apparently sleep-dep makes me poetic. I ended my eight and a half page 20th century lit final (a discussion of how Watchmen and The Matrix represent fears of technology current to their time periods) with "Scientific progress moves forward while the the ethical debate surrounding its use lags behind, and we are left in uncertain territory apt to breed nightmares."
-Eleven page paper of doom netted me a B+/A- and and admonishment to proofread. I did skim it once, but I was a bit tripped out on the clonazepam and really sick of looking at it, so there's a few word switches, half the 'it's' should be 'its', and I stopped editing a line mid-sentance.
