I’m trying to avoid studying for tomorrow’s test, so here I am…
A few updates you don’t care about, but I write for my own future reference:
- Almost finished my paper: “Using International Travel Data…blah blah”
- Been planning my trip to Ottawa-Gatineau for StatsCan Socio-Economic Conference. I’m thinking I’ll stay outside the city and bike in when I want to. The Tulip Festival will be going on, so it should be nice.
- Machu Picchu is so far down the road I don’t even think about it.
- I’m over-playing Sometime Around Midnight – Airborne Toxic Even
- Queens is my only grad school application that is complete. It’s kinda bringing me down.
- Tia’s idolization of Hannah Montana is beginning to worry me.
- Alisha’s obsession over the Jonas Brothers isn’t worrying, but it is weird.
- Ariyanna loves me.
All in all, life is pretty good.

Dear Webmasters,
Stop it with the Flash effects. It’s annoying, intrusive, laggy and no one likes it. Really.
I tell you because I care.
Your friend,
Sina

Sina: Are you sure?
Tia: I only like their songs a little.
Sina: Well yeah, that’s what it means to like them.
Tia: *strange look and shakes head* No it’s not!

It’s Friday the 13th. Let’s count to see how many freaky things happen today.
- Plane crashes in Buffalo, NY. 49 dead. (updated 1:00am)
- Tina loses her lit cigarette in her van. It is unclear how such a thing is possible. (updated 8:35am)
- For the first time since we started going there 4 months ago, there is no one in line at the Esso Tim Horton’s at Don Mills/Sheppard. Similarly, the roads are abnormally traffic free. (updated 8:36am)
- The Unix time 1234567890 falls on this day. (updated 8:37am)
- Tina has deduced that the lost cigarette was in her hood due to a hole with burn marks. Location of the cigarette butt is still unknown. (updated 8:51am)
- A Sept11 widower died in the Buffalo plane crash. She was travelling to celebrate her dead husband’s 58th birthday. (update 10:01am)
- Two teens were pushed on to the TTC subway tracks. Why? Because it’s Friday the 13th. (updated 9:39pm)
- Paradoxical title? YES! That’s what this day will do to a writer. (updated 9:47pm)
- Microsoft learns from its mistakes. This is weird. (updated 10:04pm)
- Stephen Harper tells a lie to save face. Oh wait, that’s not strange at all. (updated 11:38pm)
UPDATE: The article in #8 used to be titled “Leading economists agree that leading economists are wrong.”
