Person A: PLZ HELP! What's the native language of Canada?
Person B: Complaining.
'struth! xD It's our national pastime. Well, aside from hockey, I mean. =p We complain about everything, from the weather to each other to our neighbours. La~
Today was MASSIVELY UNPRODUCTIVE. But I did get the laundry done. Saaaaaa, what is wrong with me? I'm so laaaazy.
OH. BUT SOMETHING EXCITING HAPPENED.
The fire alarm went off again. This was around, eh, 9 PM? Maybe? So I spazzed, because in an old building like this, it'd burn down quickly. Threw on my boots 'n coat and ran out. The neighbours came out too, with their cats in carriers. And someone called the fire department. And three fire trucks showed up! And because the door locks automatically I let the fire guys borrow my key to get into the building.
Only, er... there wasn't actually a fire. But the building REALLY STANK. Like, an electrical fire smell. Also kind of like rotten eggs. Pretty bad. It still kind of smells, actually.
There's something wrong with the boiler; for some reason it's making the fire alarm go off. It needs to get checked, and that will probably happen tomorrow. But in the meantime, the boiler is turned off, and my apartment is FREEZING. I'm going to have to go heavy-duty with the winter gear on the bed tonight. Wool blankets and down quilts and fuzzy socks and everything. Yeesh.
Mm, tomorrow is the first lecture on Oryx and Crake in the intro class, and I'm really excited about it.
*drums fingers* I want to go see the Coraline movie (if it's in Saskatoon, haven't checked yet) but I haven't read the book yet. Derp. Should probably do that before I see the movie. Saaaa.
