busy weekend

Between Thursday and Monday, I did the following:

• Saw a comet (photo further down)
• Fed a hare living under my deck (photo further down)
• Went to a very good talk by Andrew Hynes, a prof from McGill who I could have worked with instead of coming here
  
• Met Stephane Dion
  
• Took someone on a date
• Went skiing at Sunshine (without hitting a squirrel)
• Watched all of the second season of The Sopranos in what free time I had

And the coming weekend looks busy too, since I'm going to see Trailer Park Boys live, and I have to do a lot of schoolwork.

As usual with photos, click for big.

Comet McNaught, from between the 9th and 10th floors of the Earth Sciences building. It's the light thing in the sky with a tail, in case you couldn't tell.

The new roommate. However, I haven't seen it around since Friday. I decided to name it Jonnie Tight-lips, due to watching too much Sopranos and Simpsons, and because it's not particularly conversational.

The view from my office on Friday. As with the other shots I've trimmed this down from my camera's 6 mpixel 1.334 ratio, just so that it uploads faster, and to remove irrelevant stuff. I use Irfanview to do this, cause it's simple and quick.

Time to prepare for my lab at 5pm.
