Shea Weber? Who the hell is Shea Weber? Clearly I’ve been away from Canada (and thus hockey) for too long.
RT @wilw: That Facebook phishing scam I mentioned back in October is going around again. Here’s what it looks like: http://twitpic.com/nahie
Elizabeth has turned into a cat. She’s batting a ball around the house.
Brining turkey is the only way to fly.

I hope the airport security theater is toned down by the time we fly.
Merry Christmas everybody! Guess what we’re doing after Elizabeth wakes up from her nap? Going to the beach!
Your “oh god I’m old” moment for Christmas: Ghostbusters is 25 years old. Hey, isn’t Ghostbusters a Christmas movie?
A happy Christmas Eve to all of you from all of us!
Hell yeah, SCUBA-2 data processed at CADC!
Schumi’s back!
Say, do you have a ship and a dozen able men that maybe you could lend me?
Apparently iTunes thinks I should be listening to The Weakerthans.

Human flights booked. Cat flights booked from Hilo to Honolulu. I think I’ve spent three hours on the phone.
I love paying $78 for a “free” ticket.
#STFC just launched a tactical nuke at UK science by cancelling all postdoc fellowships for 2010.
Happy Winter Solstice!

This thunderstorm and rain and waterspouts and everything else is completely missing Volcano. Gorgeous blue skies up here!
People will pay twenty bucks for Final Fantasy VII? Damn.
RT @astronomyblog: Blog post: What the STFC UK? http://www.strudel.org.uk/blog/astro/000921.shtml #STFC Grrrr.
Nothing says Christmas like Adam Sandler’s Chanukah Song.
Rain? What rain? It’s nice up in Volcano!
Yum, butter tarts! Yum, shitballs! Yum, Nanaimo bars!
Desaturated Santa costume is brilliant. http://bit.ly/6pjkmB (via @waxpancake) (via @gnat)
I have officially converted Alice. She spelled the band as “Perl Jam”.
It’d be awesome if eBay stopped assuming I live in Canada. Getting sick and tired of having everything converted into Canadian dollars.

Holy shit it’s only a week until Christmas.

Difference between UK and US science funding: STFC has to cut £140m (and possibly another £600m real soon), NASA gets another $1b.
Ugh. The free coffee (chocolate and mac nut) wasn’t worth the price.
