IT’S SO GREY. so grey. so much fog. it’s dripping cold wet. But kind of gorgeous, and I’m not complaining. I live here, I’m damn well going to like it.
Guess it’s time to get Earl Grey all dressed up with some lemon and orange peel (and maybe lavender?), turn him into a right ol’ lady. Yes, it’s time for tea.
Photos taken in the one of the parking lots at SFU Burnaby. Bonus points if you can identify which one.
Deciduously Bare in the Mist
Endless Mistery
Just your average pointy conifer in the fog.

- Grad School: I’ve applied to the MA Linguistics program at SFU. I think they send out acceptance/rejection letters in late February or early March, so THE TIME IS NIGH.
- Student Loans: I have a ridiculous amount of school related debt. Just added it all up: $28505.08. None of this debt was accrued during my undergrad at SFU.
- Convocation: I graduate in June. Ceremony D, June 14, Thursday morning 9:45am. SFU Burnaby Convocation Mall. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Linguistics Honours.

Oy mama. Went to Mt. Seymour with some lovely people from the LABlab @ SFU. Haven’t skied since high school, and first time ever at Mt. Seymour, even though I’ve lived next to it for 25 years. How embarrassing. Stuck to my green runs most of the day, and practiced making my pizza ^ more like french fries ||. Weather conditions degraded over the course of the day – got super foggy and slush rainy in the afternoon and we called it quits at around 4pm. Fun! :)

Went to visit Steve’s office at SFU Harbour Centre tonight…
So if you ever need to find him, go hit up 7464 in the FCAT Dean’s Office and you might get lucky. He might even make you something cool if you ask very nicely.
For you databasey types, check out Xataface if you haven’t already. Some people have kids, he makes software. He’s currently writing a manual for Xataface, and in about a week he’s up to 60 pages already. It’ll probably be 500 pages when it’s all said and done, hopefully sometime this year.

Train of thought:
Beverly reads friend’s post on Facebook, quoting Eckhart Tolle.
How do you pronounce Eckhart Tolle anyway?
Eckhart…is that the same as Aaron Eckhart?
Bet he was a first kid. People like to name their first child starting with A.
Why do people always name their children starting with such common letters?
What about Q. What words start with Q?
Quantum. Hah! I could name a child QUANTUM!
Hmm, Quantum what Hannah?
How about Quantum Object Hannah?
Random Frequent Flyer Dent.
I wish I could. But how would my poor little Chinese grandmother deal with a great grandchild named Quantum Object?
It would sound like “Kontomohdzeh Hehnnah”
And what if it never lived up to its name?
Quasi.
Perhaps I could call it Quasi Quantum Object Hannah.
That’s awesome!
…
My husband would never go for it.
…
Maybe I should just get a cat.
Yes, one day, I will get a cat, and name it Quasi Quantum Object Hannah.
Perhaps for Christmas someone can just get me a box and tell me there’s a cat inside!
Yes, that will do nicely.
