Early Retirement

I decided to quit computer science when I realized in Japan that I had way more fun learning Japanese than I did sucking at programming. Today I realized that by the same logic I should quit linguistics and just blog full time. Since my life will be blogging, though, from now on my Life in Pictures will all look like this one.

Seasonable

Congratulations Dosha!

Dorothy is one of the few people I know who could get their mom to show up to their (successful!) Masters' defense. She is also the only person I know whose mom does "poultry research".

Most Effective Ad Ever

I wasn't going to get a mumps shot until I saw this, but I went the hell in and got one today. They don't even need the basketballs; they could just write SEVERE TESTICULAR PAIN in big letters and they could get me to do whatever they want.

City Life

I love Edmonton. We were moving Alison's stuff today, and we stopped in a _fairly_ urban area to drop it off when I took this picture. If we had driven further away from the centre of town, things would only get less rural. And less awesome.

Winter Fresh

Compliments to the chef. You can tell how good a meal is going to be by counting how many colours you can see in it.
